The Rejected Alpha

I got home from school that day in a bad mood. I was late to school because I accidentally broke my alarm clock the day before, I got detention, my history teacher gave me a whole crap load of homework and my bike broke down on my way home so I had to walk the rest of the journey, in the rain. What a great birthday. So I got home in a bad mood, obviously, but it turned around when I saw the surprise birthday party for me. It wasn't really a party, but there was food, drinks, a cake,my parents and my five year old sister who was busy ogling my cake. That was good enough for me. It really made me happy, and I even got a car for my birthday since I was now qualified to get a license. We had a lot of fun that night and when I went to sleep my parents and my little sister, Gabriella, came and gave me kisses on my forehead. We love you sweetie, happy birthday' My mother had said before they exited my room. I fell asleep feeling content with myself, not knowing how little those words

'Pssst, Adriane? Are you awake?" Mavis said whilst poking my ribs, stirring me awake from my short and uncomfortable nap"I am now." I said groggily while sitting up, the ground cold and hard underneath me."Good." She smiled at me. It was amazing how she still found it in her to actually smile."What is it?" I asked her once I noticed her expectant expression."I'm bored." she pouted.I gave her a blank look. "And?"She shrugged and just repeated her statement that she was bored."Gee May" I said as I rubbed my left eye, "I had no idea you were interested in entertainment before execution."She frowned at me.'There isn't much to do as a prisoner, so you're gonna have to suck it up and wait till they end our lives." I said. No need for any sorta sugar coating.'Wow, Adriane, always looking at the positive side of things." Mavis said, sarcasm lacing each word.Well, there was nothing remotely positive about this situation and I wasn't about to convince myself otherwise, just to be let

I woke up to the scent of fresh bread filling my nose.I didn't know how long we'd been here, but it felt like days. It most definitely had to be some days, a couple at least. We were starving and dehydrated and my mind felt all sorts of cloudy, I couldn't even think straight.Was there even oxygen in this place?I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes just in time to see one of the guards shove two loaves of bread on a metal pan into our cell."What's that?" I asked, sleep still clouding my eyes."Breakfast." he said and started walking away but then he stopped and after a long pause he added, "Lunch ... and Dinner." he smiled at me."You've got to be kidding me." Mavis muttered, rubbing her eyes as well.'No, I'm not. Enjoy." and with that the guard left, continuing to shove bread into cells.Once the guard was out of earshot, or so I guessed, I spoke up. "They're feeding us now?" It seemed strange to me. Or maybe a last meal sort of thing?Mavis looked over at me and shrugged. "I guess s

We woke up to our cells being forcefully drawn open, the sound of metal bars banging.'Get up, you lazy animals." one of the guards who unlocked our cell, kicked me in the ribs.Ah, it's the red head guard from yesterday.Dan.And I was sure to catch the scowl he threw my way as he kicked me. Sour puss."Ow." I whined, getting up and looking around to see chaos in the dungeons as people were dragged out of their cells. The males putting up a fight since their sedatives have obviously worn off, females less so.At this point though, why bother."Hey, watch it!" Mavis mumbled as Dan kicked her too, not as hard as mine but painful nonetheless.Then we heard a growl."That will be the last time you ever touch her. Got that?" We turned to see a fuming James glare at Dan, a frown marring his handsome face.He rushed to Mavis and helped her off the ground, whilst I stood up also. James cupped her face and asked her if she was okay,and she shyly nodded.James smiled and placed a soft kiss on

I just stood there frozen, a pair of gray blue eyes staring at me. Growling and baring its canines drawing its claws as it approached me. I hid further behind the curtains only to have them ripped off leaving me exposed, shaking, scared. Pieces of cloth were stuck between its teeth after it tore the curtain. It let out one more sickening growl before it pounced on me ..."No!" I woke up in a dark room. My heart pounding out of my chest, my breathing heavy. I was sweating but I felt really cold. I wiped off some of the tears that had slipped out of my eyes as I was asleep. When I had calmed down I took in my surroundings. I was on a bed. A bed?I looked around and saw a window, it must be dark out, cause hardly any light came through. Then I noticed some movement with the corner of my eye and its like I saw a shadow in the corner of the room. I sat up abruptly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes hoping to see more clearly, but the figure was gone."Hello? Who is there?" I tried to get
