Eyes So Familiar.
Ariel ran into her room without looking back. She locked it from behind soon as she got in, running towards her bed. She threw herself on it.
She laid on top of her belly using a pillow as a comforter, letting the tears freely roll down her cheeks on their own landing on the innocent pillow.
Why did this earth hate her so much?. She had tried everything possible in her willpower to fit in, but she still was never going to fit in.
How could her father send her off to the sundown midnight pack house to help out for the preparation of her ex boyfriend and her sister's mating ceremony tomorrow?.
Ariel knew she was hated and rejected by her own family and pack but did they really hated her up to that extent?, Or will their satisfaction ultimately come to an end when she finally killed herself and died out of hurt, pain and rejection?.
She has waited patiently for Carter to at least call or text her to apologize after the incident between him and Avril but the call never came. What Avril told her was actually true, Avril was his true mate and not her.
Ariel and Carter have been dating for five years now, five years weren't five days so it truly hurt her so much, It was killing her inside talking more of Dawn, her wolf. Dawn never liked Carter but for the sake of Ariel she had no other choice than to oblige.
Dawn became very fond of Carter and his wolf Ralph, she couldn't wait for Carter to mark Ariel as his mate so she could finally bond with Ralph but that bond never happened so now Dawn loathed the both of them.
Ariel wasn't the only one seeking revenge, Dawn was too but her revenge was going to be on Carter and Mika for breaking her and Ariel.
Ariel wriggled herself on the bed to and fro. she suddenly stopped, facing the ceiling of her room, her gaze fixed strictly on it. She took her phone placed on the nightstand, plugging an earpiece into it.
Ariel put sombre heartbreak music on, listening to its lyrics attentively she let the tears flowed non-stop. She wasn't supposed to listen to that genre of music due to the state she was in but she just felt attached to it.
Drowning herself with thoughts, How was she even going to face him tomorrow at his pack house?. That same pack house she had always visited since she was a kid. There were too many memories over there and it was surely going to hurt.
"Hey, enough get up already!" Dawn roared aggressively, enough was enough!. She couldn't take it anymore. Ariel was a crybaby and she clearly wasn't.
"I can't!" Ariel groaned to Dawn weakly, connecting with her wolf.
"Then are you going to lay like this all day?"
"I hope to, I don't want to see Avril or father's face" Ariel sniffed, "I haven't even begin with my revenge but I'm losing myself already".
"I guess Avril was right, you're really a weakling".
"What?" Avril scoffed disdainfully, perturbed by Dawn's words. And that did the magic for Dawn without her wasting any more saliva, Ariel got up instantly from the bed strolling around the room in circles.
"My words really did affect you and that's the reason you're on your feet already loser!" Dawn cursed at Ariel scornfully.
"What the fuck?, Ariel chuckled inwardly, her hands forming akimbo on her well curved waist. "Okay Dawn, I'm going to call the shots then" she let out an evil grin before speaking.
"You're the fucking reason why I'm always called a weakling because you have never for once won in a duel set out by the pack"
Ariel brought her hands down her waist, wishing she could see Dawn face to face so she could actually say those words to her face.
Her eyes blinked in disbelief, she couldn't actually believe her wolf was also calling her a weakling too. They were one so Dawn was supposed to be by her side and not against her.
How could Dawn?.
"Common you're the goddamn wolf Dawn, you're supposed to be all strong and mighty but you aren't because you are pathetic and weak just like me"
"I'm not like you Ariel and I'm never going to"
"You have to accept the truth Dawn"
"Fuck off Ariel, I'm done talking with you!" And like that Dawn disconnected from Ariel in anger.
Ariel went back to her bed once again, sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hands on her head supporting it helpfully.
"Fuck this hellhole" She cursed under her breath, getting off the bed, moving towards her dresser. She slid the cabinet out, taking out the pearled necklace.
Ariel tried the necklace on, it fitted her neck perfectly. "You are the only one that doesn't reject me at least" She let out a big smile checking out the fitness of the necklace on her neck out in the mirror.
"Now let's go out for some runs".
****
Ariel ran in the woods as fast as her feet could carry her, she was happy with the way the mild breeze slapped across her cheeks gently while running in the woods.
She took a stop in front of a tall white oak tree with huge branches, displaying its well grown leaves on its branches.
"Hi Eleanor" Ariel waved to the tree, she had known the tree since she was little so she named it Eleanor. She made Eleanor her friend since she didn't have any real ones. That was really weird, having a tree as a friend.
"It's been long Eleanor" Her hands placed on the body of the huge matured tree reaching 135 ft heights rubbing it softly.
"I really wish you could understand, but you can't, which makes me kind of crazy to be talking to a tree." She let out a crazy chuckle, leaning on the tree and sitting on its root.
Ariel closed her eyes, giving into the imagination of her seeing the world as a better place where she was accepted, inhaling the sweet scent of the environment she was in.
It has not rained for days though it was spring season but the woods still smelt nicely.
Ariel could hear the sounds of birds cooing and fluttering their wings in the woods chasing the calmness away and distracting her from her world of imagination but she ignored them.
That imagination came to an abrupt stop when she felt cold hands on her neck dragging her up from the root of the tree from where she sat.
Her back arched with severe pain due to the way she was dragged up roughly against the body of the tree. Ariel opened her eyes, her hands struggling to get the hands off her neck.
It was choking her immensely, causing her airways to long extremely for air. Ariel found it difficult to breathe. She couldn't get the hands off her neck although she was trying desperately to but she just couldn't.
The hold on her neck was too firm.
Her eyes was closed slightly due to the heavy hands choking her, so she couldn't catch a glimpse of who was trying to murder her.
But the one thing that got her slightly-closed eyes open instantly was the oceanic blue eyes she was staring at infront of her trying to murder her.
The eyes were so familiar.
