The Last Queen

Chapter 1

The ground is covered in snow. My body is numb to the weather for I have been running for days now. Lost all direction besides there is no going back now. My body trembles in exhaustion. 

I see a big red oak tree with a big hole in the base. I decide to get out of the weather, and this is where I would sleep for the night. I did not want to, but I knew I must. I just hated the night terrors I would have. Sometimes it was better off not sleeping than to have those.

I grab my small holey blanket out of my backpack and curl up with it and use the backpack as a pillow. I lay there resting my eyes and allowing my body to rest. Then Freyja enters my mind 'Ray Ray you need your restful sleep, I will keep an eye on us please for me.'

 'I know Frey Frey it is hard after all this time. All those years of abuse and mental torture, it is hard to forget.' 'I understand but you have me now and I will never leave you or hurt you. 'Thanks, and that means so much Frey. Do you think we will ever find a place to call our home?' 'One day Ray we will I know it in my heart, but you just get some sleep, and we will start fresh in the morning.' With those words, I did just that. I drifted off going to enjoy it if I was able.

Nightmare*

"Your stupid slut who could ever want someone like you," "you're a worthless bag of trash no wonder you don't have no family. You are a disgrace trying to steal my man." SMACK, HIT, KICK, PUNCH, the smell of my flesh burning from their iron rods. 

The sound of my own screams filling my ears, as they all take their turns burning me, hitting me with silver whips, you name it they have it. I just want to die, why will not they leave me alone. I scream "Please stop just Please. I beg you."

END OF NIGHTMARE

'Ray Ray wake up.' I hear Freyja yelling in my mind. I jolt awake retaking control of my body. 'How long did I get to sleep Frey?' 'About three hours. Also, I got some food for us while you were sleeping so you can stay warm and not worry about us ok.' 'Thanks, Frey, you go rest and I will keep watch I doubt I will be sleeping anytime soon.' With that, she drifted off.

All those years of abuse and mental torture, it is hard to forget.

I watched the snowfall with the moon in the distance hearing two or three howls and small animals running through the woods. I watch in the darkness at the Raccoons and other critters play together, causing me to wish I had a family as well. Thinking of all those nights of abuse wishing I had a mother, father, even a sibling.

 I wish things were different, but they are not. Running in fear always looking over our shoulder, this is now what my life has come to. Anything is better than that hellhole. I then smell something, but it is too late I then see three sets of eyes. Two sets of brown to my right but one set to my left, that set was an Icy Blue.

Before I could look any closer, I began to feel lightheaded the fear bubbling up in me when the other two came charging at me. As they approached the set of blue eyes disappeared. We do not have enough energy to fight them both and from their smell, they are of higher rank, Beta or Delta more than likely.

 I do not bother fighting with them as they throw the chains on me and began walking to me to their dungeon. Every pack has one, usually, people tremble at the thought but not me, I got used to it from before. I just do not see the point of fighting and wasting energy when I need to save up what I can for Freyja.

Seemed like hours but after about 15 minutes I saw lights in the distance their pack houses. Then I see the cellar doors that lead to their torture chamber. Different they have it a little way from the pack houses, smart if this is where they take the enemy and unknowns to keep everyone safe.

 I know what awaits me behind the doors and I do not fight it anymore I just might as well accept that this is my life. Like everyone always said I am nothing but a dumb, weak, useless being. 'No, you are not. We are majestic, strong, and we are better than anyone ever has known. I need you to believe in that Ray, please. I can't stop Destiny, but I can try to make you understand it please don't give up.' 'Never Frey Frey, as long as you're here you are all I need.'

The iron coated in silver around my hands keeps my wolf at bay. It does not hurt though but no one knows my secret and I aim to keep it that way. They open the doors and drag me down the hall. I smell blood and fluids, but I block them out like all the times before. 

I hear the rattling of keys and a cell opens they do not throw me in instead nudge their heads telling me to go in instead. That is a first nicely throwing me into a cell I guess you could say. So, I walk in and sit on the floor and look out the small window and I could see the moon. I hear the mutters as they walk away but I do not care. I want to enjoy the peace while it lasts.

I must have dozed off I was awakened by the sound of keys and footsteps coming down the dark hall. I look up and see the same two guards from before. They look as if something is troubling them, I furrow my brows together in confusion. I am tired of this waiting game. 

"If you are going to beat me then do it all ready, Geesh." I huffed not caring about the punishments of speaking to upper ranks like that. They looked at me bewildered. "Why would you want us to beat you?" "Did I say I wanted you to no. I said if you are going to then do it already." 

"No, we are not going to harm you. We have to keep you here and make sure you are not a threat and discuss with others about you becoming a pack member if you chose to do so." "NO." I could not stop myself I screamed it not caring that they thought I am Psychopath or something I just do not need them talking about me.

Gossip usually travels farther and faster than anything and I do not know where I am or how far from them I am. I need to keep us all safe. "No, please don't tell anyone about me, when you realize I am no harm or trouble I would like to leave."

 They nodded not asking any questions which was weird. "Excuse me before you leave will you tell me where I am?" "You are in Colorado, and you are in Silver Moon territory." The one with Brown wavy hair replied. "Thanks." They then turned and left. 'Freyja did you hear that, Colorado? We ran all the way to Colorado.' 'Yes, Ray I heard. That's a long way no wonder we were exhausted.' 'Shh, use this time to rest.' 

She then drifted to the back of my mind catching up on her rest. I knew they would see I was not a threat and would release me. I just must sit and wait.
