It took me a hundred and twenty three years of pain and suffering to finally achieve my mother's request.
*********
My head was pounding like it would split into two.
"Mama".
I tried to call but it seems my voice was out. I tried to move my body but the pain was too much that I wouldn't dare do it. I tried to call my mama again but I couldn't. I then decided to open my eyes. Thank God it moved and opened but the brightness couldn't let me open it for long. I shut it immediately I opened it. After some time, I slowly opened my eyes and it adjusted to the light. I then decided to move my body, pain was still there but I needed to know where I am. The pain was much but I managed to sit up.
I then start to remember everything that happened before I blacked out. I remember from the beginning, to my mama's painful face, to my papa's lifeless body on the floor and to when I was shoved to the wall. This memories got me crying. I didn't even mind to check where I was, if it's dangerous or not. What else could be dangerous than witnessing the death of your both parents. All I wanted was just to die like them but I remember what my mama told me about getting revenge. When I remember that I couldn't see my parents anymore, I burst into another round of tears.
"Stop crying like a child" I heard someone say.
" But I am a child" I said back still crying.
Then it was so done on me that who was the person who talked just now. I looked around to see if there is anyone beside me since the sound is very close. All I could see is trees it was then I realized I was in the forest. They must have thrown me there when they thought I was dead.
"Who then is talking to me?" I asked myself.
I liked around to check again if the person has already come of of hiding.
"Looking for me?" The voice said again.
I stood up and looked around in a defensive manner.
"Who are you and where are you talking from?" I shouted that my voice echoed through the woods.
"Hey, keep it low except you want to be eaten by wild animals" the voice scolded
" But who are you?" I asked trying to be low.
" Shouldn't you know? Wake up and stop acting like a child" the voice said annoyed.
" Why are you scolding me? Am I not a child?" I snapped in tears.
I don't know who this person is but with that voice I know he is a male and I don't like the tone he is taking with me. I'm an Alpha and no one dares talk to an alpha like that.
I heard the voice sigh. " I'm Derek, your wolf and I'm speaking right inside your head" he replied.
I was surprised at what he said. " I now have a wolf?" I couldn't help but ask.
" You had a wolf since you were born but the time for me to appear is not now" Derek explained.
" Papa said my wolf will be visible when I turn eighteen which is in ten years time. How then are you here?"
I was confused. What I heard was that, it is untill you shift before your wolf would be able to communicate with you and see your wolf. What is so baffling now is that I can't even see the voice that claimed to be my wolf.
"Do you think if I didn't show up prematurely you will be alive?" He asked.
" You saved me?" I asked surprised remembering the hit I took.
"Yes I did".
I pouted. "But I can't see you".
" That's because it is not time for me to appear".
I don't know what to say.
" Listen bounce, I'll just here for a little while. I'll have to leave soon because if I'm here it would be dangerous for you. You have to grow up and stop being a child. You know you need to look after yourself. There is a very a very rough and dangerous way ahead of you and if you really want to survive and conquer, you have to grow up and be tough".
" But I don't know what to do" I said with a shaky voice.
I didn't want to cry so that he wouldn't scold me again.
"Neither do I but I know you will scale through if you want to. Bye Bounce" he said.
There was no need for someone to tell me Derek is gone because I felt this emptiness in me caused by his absence.
I didn't have time to think about Derek's disappearance because I heard a growl. At first I thought it was a wolf but me looking at the direction, I saw that it was a leopard. It was glaring at me.
