CHAPTER 3

It's been several years since I was left on that floor that night.

There are somethings I realize in life.

1.People lie to themselves to make it look like their lives are perfect.

2. There is no such thing as perfect, as everybody has their own way of looking at things.

3.Pain and suffering are inevitable.

This is why no matter what I will never break away the walls that I have built up around my heart. Nobody has ever come close to breaking even one down so I doubt that anyone is ever going to reach my heart.

Another thing I realize:

The heart is like a treasure. It is so precious to some people that they will die to make sure the one that they own won't break.

That is why I will never carry another's heart eather. I don't see the point in dying for another if they will just betray me.

That is why when the trap door in my room opened to a man I didn't know I glared at him and backed into the corner. Sadly at the time the corner was covered in half dry blood from a whipping nearly 30 minutes earlier.

I backed into the wall and my breath caught from my wounds. the 100 lashes I gained from tipping over a laundry pile I made.

The man that came through the door had dark hair. he looked up and I saw dark gold eyes. I stood my ground and after what seemed like forever, I said"who are you? Are you here to violate me like everyone else?" As I was saying this I glare at him with so much hate he looks startled. "N-no. I'm from the Council. were here because one of your packmates came begging for help because their alpha is making them hurt a member in their pack and they were sick of it. I am Guessing that you are that pack mate?"

"Yes I am. Also if you don't mind me asking... Who came to you?"

"Sorry that is classified"

"Oh" I look down "So where am I going now?"

"Well... first you are going to the council building and then you are going to be transferred to another pack."

"Oh. Ok. I guess I should pack some things then."

"NO- Uh... I mean no. you don't need to be reminded of this place so the council is going to buy you a new wardrobe and everything else you will need."

"thank you" I said it with no warmth in my voice and no happiness in my eyes. He once again look shocked to hear no emotion in my voice and in my eyes.

I walked forward to him. It was slow painful stride after slow painful stride. I was doing this for freedom. I was doing this to save myself from even more pain. I walked past him and down the stairs for the first time this week.

I walked towards a new future that will be brighter than before. I promised myself then and there in a whisper" I promise I will fight for myself for as long as I have a drop of blood pumping through my veins."
