In the morning my dad and my friend's fathers all spoke to Mr. Crease. They argue for quite a bit. Finally they came to an understanding. Like my dad promises most of the income from the weapon company will go to the valley. Also thanks to the deal my daddy close with the client from the Yark Brown event we were making more money. Not to mention the money Mr. Cougar clean for Mr. Crease money was no longer an issue.
After they talk to Mr. Crease they told us to gather The Valley people and we did. They explain to the people that they will handle all Valley dealings and that they were now head of The Valley. They would make sure we would be ready for a Ranco attack. To support this promise there were a lot of cameras put up and alarms.
Also even though my daddy didn't want us to us still did our patrol and so do the other teenagers. Together the valley was kept safe and everything was at peace.
Well everyone was completely at peace accept for me. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the peace I really did. My dad knew about Ranco and how did that evil Ranco doctor know about him. I never really thought much about what the doctor said to me till now. What secrets did that baster Frank mean? Well there was only one way to find out I had to ask him.
That night as my mother made dinner and my sisters with my brother set the table. I was cutting the vegetables deeply thinking. Tonight was the night I would ask him. "Wayna go get your father." She said to me. "He's upstairs changing his shirt. Tell him dinner is ready."
As I walk to the stairs my niece Janiya walk thru the door. "Hi aunty Wayna." She said with a smile.
"Hey sweaty." I said to her. "Where you been?"
"I was with Aunty Tasha and my cousin Taniya." She said with a smile. "We went to the zoo."
"Oh ok." I said to her smiling. "Your mommy in the kitchen."
"OK." She said and ran off into the kitchen. "Mommy!"
I watch her go smiling as I saw her be greeted with hugs and open arms. I smile and then head up stairs. I went to the guest room where my daddy stay the night. "Daddy dinner is ready." I said to him opening the door seeing her shirt off. I saw his back and stare. He had a few gunshot wound on his back as if someone had shot him in the front. He turns around showing other scars. None studded out more than the one going across his chest. He then put on a shirt and walk pass me.
At dinner time I was quiet as everyone was talking to each other. I was focusing on too much. What was I going to ask my daddy?
"Mommy I thought you said we can go back to eating real food?" Janiya complain with dis approval at her food. "My cousin eating real food."
"But baby try it this is better for you." Jacinda urge her as she ate a few bites putting hot sauce on hers. "You want barbeque sauce on yours?"
"No I want McDonalds." She compline.
Jacinda rub her head with a sigh as Tony and Zedikah snicker with laughter. "Just give it up." Tony said texting on her phone as she ate. "She don't want what we eat."
"Janiya want a bowl of cereal?" My brother asks her.
"Yes." She said pushing her food away from herself.
Jacinda rub her head. "Make her a bowl Zedikah." My older sister said to him. My brother then got up and went to go make it.
"Don't get mad Jacinda." My mother said to her. "She's a baby and so she not going to like vegetarian food."
My daddy said nothing as we all ate. He look like he was concentrating on something else and I just couldn't take it anymore. I needed to ask and ask now.
"Daddy, Mommy am I adopted?" I ask them. They both stop and look at me.
"No." My daddy said staring at me and I had a serious look on my face.
"Of course not." My mother said in all honest confusion. "What makes you ask that?"
"It's just that I have no infant pictures of me. All my friends meet each other when there were infants. It just has me wondering." I said to them as I look down at my plate. My siblings said nothing
"No Wayna you are our child hundred percent." My mother Tracy said looking at me. "We told you many times why we don't have any pictures. There was a rain storm and that all got destroy."
"Why only mine?" I ask them. "Why not there's to?"
"Because Wayna we just weren't able to. Now eat and be quiet!" My daddy snap at me. I was angry but I didn't say nothing else. After dinner almost everyone was in bed. I crept down stairs and I could hear my parent's arguing.
"Tracy the answer is no!" My father yells trying not to wake us up.
"She deserves to know Wayne!" My mother argues back.
"She's not ready yet." My dad said to her. "It was hard enough to get her socialize with other people let alone us. Who know what this can do to her?"
I went quietly and as quickly as I know how back up stairs. Climb back in bed and went under my covers. That settles it! I had to know the truth. The next day I decide to see Mr. Konto. He knew my daddy better than anyone and they were best friends.
Mr. Konto was working on a car while I spoke to him and he wasn't much help.
"Mr. Konto please I wanna know about my birth." I pleaded to him looking at him under the car. "I just want to know the truth. I'm I adopted?"
"Well you're not adopted Wayna but I won't tell you anything." Mr. Konto said getting from under the car. "Because there nothing to tell."
"I heard them arguing about something." I said as he stop in his tracks as he wipe off his hands. "My daddy said I'm not ready for something. On top of that, Frank the baster said my daddy also keeping something."
Konto turn around and look at me. He got on his knee. "Wayna I may not be able to tell you much. Do know that your daddy loves you. ok?"
"Ok." I said looking at him with a small smile.
Later on I meet up with kinto who was walking with me in the forest. As we walk kids in there animal form were playing with one another and talking to one another.
"There no doubt in my mind that there hiding something." I said to Kinto as we walk. "And it's like there all in on it."
"Well it certainly sounds like it. Every time I ask my dad about your dads past he just say your dad a private man. Then he changes the subject. I can understand keeping a secret from you but the rest of us, is something I call a health risk." Kinto said with his hands in his packet.
"So basically you're more worry about yourself?" I said to him with a glare.
"Take it how you want to." He said to me smugly. I swear sometime he can be such a jerk.
"Watch it kinto." I said to him.
"Or you'll what?" He stated strongly. "Don't think just because your leader mean you can take me on. Remember I gave you that spot."
"You wanna go around!" I challenge him. "Were not kids anymore I can win you know."
"He in your dreams." He said to me with a smirk. I then look off in the far distance and spotted the white wolf again with the yellow glowing eyes. I was then brought back by Kinto pushing me down. He then turn around with a smirk. "As you can see I can-"
He was cut off as I spin myself on my back and trip him. I then got up and attack him. "Get off me Wayna!" He yells pushing me off as we fight each other.
Later that night after I ate dinner and doing some chores I went to bed. As I sleep. I dream. It wasn't like any other dream I had before either.
I was in a hospital watching my mother on the bed holding something. I didn't know what it was. I got a closer look to see it was a new born infant. She looked tired but happy as she held a baby with black hair. I saw my daddy from the side of the room with a smile on his face as he touch the baby hand. They look so happy there. Enjoying their little family. I then relies that baby was me. I didn't know if any of this was real or not. So I took it as a way my mind trying to show me truth.
I watch my parent be happy there for a moment till my attention was drawn from them and to the door of the room. I saw it turn and as it turn I had a bad feeling.
What happen next was nothing I couldn't predicted. Men with black mask came charging in the room. One of them shot my daddy in the chess twice and the other grabs my mother's hair while they basically had to wrestle me from her arms. I could hear my baby self cry.
They ran out the door with me in there grasp. All I could do as I watch this is look on in horror. Doctors and nurses all lay dead on the floor. Then one of the men went down as I saw my baby body went in the air and my daddy catch me. He pull out the knife out of the man's back just to stab another man in the neck. My baby self was crying harder.
My daddy then picks a gun off the floor that was next to a silencer and ran back into the room where my mother was. "How are you not dead?" she ask him.
He took of his T-shirt to show a bullet proof vest. "Can you run?" He asks her.
"Yes. Wayne who are those men?" She asks him as she got out of bed in her hospital cloths. "Why do they want our baby?"
"That's Ranco." He said to her as she change out of cloths and my daddy held me. "I can't explain now. We gotta go! There a lot of dead doctors and nurse. They all been killed with a silencer and if we don't go to. It will be us next and they will take our baby!"
"Dam I didn't even get to name her yet!" My mother growls.
They ran out the room and my mother made a noise of shock at the dead bodies. They took a flight of stairs and made their way to the parking lot.
I watch as my dad hands me to my mother. He then breaks open a car window and opens the entire door. He hot wires the car as my mother climbs in. My mother turns her head. "They're coming!" she see' men in black masks rushing there way.
The car turns on in life. "Drive!" she screams and my daddy didn't need to be told twice as shots are fire at the car. My baby self cries in her arms. "shush it's ok baby. It's ok mommy here!"
As my daddy drives like a mad man in the dark of the night of a stolen car he hands my mother a basket. "Here put her in it!" He told her and she did. Our car crash as someone ram into us. We hit a tree and flip off the road going down a hill.
My daddy crawls out the car and see my mother clutching the basket with me in it. They run thru the forest with my mother carrying the top of the basket in her hand. "Keep moving!" My father screams. "Don't look back!"
They run and run to hear there pursuers behind them. They found a river clearing. My mother looks around and made a decision. The other side of the river is too far and it is dark to know what is in there. They hide and my mommy hugs my baby self-one last time. She then kisses my head as she wraps my naked new born body in a blanket. "I love you so much." She said bye to baby me. "Bye-bye sweaty." She put the top of basket on. The last thing I see before the darkness take me was her crying face. There is nothing but darkness all around and it is most unsettling. So much unsettling that it's like the darkness is gripping at my heart. My baby self-starts to cry.
My baby self cry so much also kicking and never stop my baby self undo the blanket top. Nothing but skin was showing. Then the darkness is gone and now my baby self is face to face with yellow deep eyes. As it sink in my soul.
It's the white wolf. A female white wolf. The female white wolf looks into the face of my baby self. She then does the next thing and picks my baby-self up. She turns to run with my baby self.
Then I know why she ran with me. She held me gently but firmly in her jaws doing her best not to do any damages to my baby self. The forest is on fire. The fire blaze in rage and as fire consumes everything.
The female wolf runs on a path that has yet to be consumed by flames. My baby-self look at dead bodies' burn with as blood covers the earth. There is so much fire I could feel it burn on my face. Then the female wolf slow down. I didn't know why as she climb a hill. As she climb the forest inferno becomes nothing but hot hell fire. She acts as if it doesn't bother her.
She then sits on top of the hill and I look to see what she was looking at. My real self-eyes open wide with horror my baby self just stare. My mother was on the ground knockout with her hearing covering her face and my father towering over her with a bloody mouth with a crazy tooth smile. His long dreads in his face arm with razor sharp Brass Knuckles but his bullet proof vest was gone and dead men litter the ground. He was protecting my mother and fighting for his life.
I then saw what he was looking at on top of the hill. The man I fight in the pit was Ranco. The man from Ranco was looking at him with a smile of contempt and triumph. He then held out his hand and sends his men forward. My daddy raise his hands again and fight. One at a time they came fast at him and my daddy slash each of their necks. Then one man got lucky and slashes my daddy chess, making blood gush out. My daddy then slashes the man's neck killing him.
The man on top of the hill still smile. My daddy never looked so crazy. He had a bloody smile and a bleeding chess. I could see the rage and hatred in his eyes. It was so much so it made him smile. He then charges at the smiling man and the man lifts up a gun. Still my daddy keeps running at him. As he does so the white wolf gets up and turns around. I could see no more but what came next made my heart sank. shots fired. "DADDY!" I scream but my outer self was only able see what my baby self see.
Right now the female white wolf ran with my baby self in her jaw. She ran with full speed not slowing down. The only time she stops was to hide from the men who were looking for my baby self as flames consume the forest.
"We can't find the baby sir." One man voice said.
"Keep looking we can't go back empty handed." Other man's voice said and I knew who it was. It was the one who shot my daddy.
The white wolf ran again once she was in the clear and a tree fall in front of her. She jumps climbing over the tree and soon we were out of the forest. She didn't turn her head around to look she just keeps running and running. As she ran I didn't know what to make of any of this. Was any of this true or was it fake?
Finally the white wolf seem to slow down till she reach a place where other wolves where. They greeted her in their own way and she is great by the biggest male of them all. The male wolf was brown with brown eyes. He was strong and healthy looking. It smelt my baby self for a moment and went into the small hole. The other wolves did the same and so did the white wolf.
Inside the den I see other small new born pups. The white wolf put the infant me down and nurses her pups. The infant me didn't care it was hungry somewhat bruise. So the infant me push all the other pup out of the way and nurse. There was darkness now but I was warm and safe as somewhere else a forest burn.
A few years past and it didn't take long for those pups to be bigger than toddler me. My toddler self only had a hole of light to look forward to. She tries escaping to only to have the white wolf pull her back or other wolves do the same. It wasn't bad at all. She had food and raw meat. That the other wolves stole and over power her for food most of the time but she was happy. She had the white wolf mother.
One year later if was time to come out of the hole. The pups she nurse with had already been in and out of the hole. She just now walking and running was able to leave now. At first she hesitated but she came out.
A world of color around her explode. She found the wonder of every single thing. She touches the grass and ran around to the water putting her feet in only to have the white wolf stop her. The white wolf went between her legs and she held on to the white wolf back. As she carry her leading her pack into the forest. The toddle me watch everything as the pack ran. We saw a raven as it flew in front of the pack and we reach a clearing ever so quietly. The white wolf sat down and the toddle me slide off her back. The toddle me sat down and watch her. The field was full of stags and dear. The white wolf growls at the toddle me as she watches her go off.
A few minutes later my toddler self could see no more wolves and looks around. She then sees the stags run and the wolves caught it, bringing it down from behind. The toddlers me looks around for the white wolf and spots bearing her teeth as she runs and bite the dear neck taking a chunk out. The dear lay dead as the pack feed.
The white wolf then come over to toddler me and nudges her to the dead stag. Where she ate with the pack and eats a good chunks of meat. The White wolf then went on top of the rock and howl. After eating the pack ran again and toddle me on the white wolf back. The air was crisp and the night sat in. My toddler-self slept curl up next to the white wolf and slept peacefully. This white wolf wasn't just the one who save me she was mom.
Another years has pass and my toddler-self was rambunctious, playful and most of all adventurous. She would kill all sorts of animals from raccoons to mice and possum. My toddler-self did something that most animals didn't do. She share her food with her wolf mother. Her wolf mother would protect her and fight other wolves outside the pack for her pup.
The two share a bond that could not be broken. By no one or anything out there. All good things come to an end.
One day my toddler- self awaken before anyone else and wonder away from the pack sleeping area. I saw her walk her five year old legs for a few minutes till she reach a big giant field of grazing deer.
The deer became spook at something that was unknown. My toddler-self look and saw some weird looking shadow. Then there were a stampede and my toddler-self was in the middle of it. My toddler- self try to run but falls over. Just before she can get run over the white wolf came with a burst of speed and went between my toddler-self legs. She ran with my toddler-self on her back holding on tight.
She ran fast with the stampede trying not to get ran over. She found a rocky ledge. She climbs onto it just high enough for my toddler-self to climb off her back and on the ledge.
When my toddler-self turn around and before the white wolf could climb up. She was trample. My toddler-self was shock and yell out. "AAUUGGHH!" My toddler-self scream and I was hit a little to. Here was the being that took care of me and save my life risking certain death. Now she died in front of me.
Toddler me looks franticly for her wolf mother. The stamped was over as quickly as it started as the dusk settled down. My Toddler-self went to look for her. "Auh!" she called out looking around for her. "Auh!" She called out again. She kept moving and looks around till she spots a body in the distance.
My Toddler-self ran to her and began pushing at the white wolf with her hands trying to wake her up. I knew she was not going to get up. My toddler-self never understood death and this, no my first realty of death. She always ate other creature but she always saw another so she assume that they always came back. So she assumes that she was going to get up and walk again. When she didn't she cried. She buries herself in her white fur crying. The pack came and saw her. There alpha female. The alpha male came up and smelt her seeing that his mate was dead. The pack was in the distance coming close and then stop.
The alpha male then notice as well, why the pack stop. In the distance were two people.
When the dusk was low and gone I knew who it was. It was my mom and dad. Both looking like they wanting to run over and grab me. But my toddler self didn't feel the same. In fact I could see the fear in her eyes. The pack didn't growl and neither did the alpha. Not seeing the pack react my toddler self calm down but kept her eye on them.
Then my daddy approach quietly with my mother. My toddler self wanted to run but couldn't leave her wolf mother. Still not fully understanding she was dead. When they came to close and try to grab for my toddler self. She tries to run but was only caught by my daddy. I watch as my younger self Kick, Scratch and Bite. My daddy endures as my mother walk away she whispers and looks back to the white dead wolf. "Thank you." My younger self wasn't taking this good at all.
My toddler self screams and struggle to be release. The pack didn't help her as they watch her be taken away. My younger self just couldn't understand what was happening. Why wasn't they helping? They always help before, so why not now?
At the home of my parents my toddler self was taken to a doctor and only lash out at everyone. They held her down as they stuck her with needles and try to be as gentle as possible. My toddler self wasn't getting along with my two older sisters. She only attacks them when they got to close. She wouldn't eat, sleep at all. She always tries to kill small animals and escape. She was wild, uncontrolled and untamed.
She was also confuse, sad and lonely. This was a very hard transition. Nothing made logic sense to my toddler self. She always attacking everyone and braking things. She was lock in a room very often. Because of all the stress, confusion and emotion she shut down. Watching my toddler-self go thru it all was hard and scary because it all felt so real. One morning when her parents came and got my toddler self from the lock room she wasn't there anymore.
The next thing I remember very well. It was like my mind putting a puzzle together. My parent s became worry and took her to the doctor. The doctor explains that it was a copping mechanism and that my mind shut down to protect itself. The doctor suggests keeping me in the ward for a few days. My parents agree. In the ward I my toddler self was cold and unfeeling. She fight the nurse's as they force her to take pills, to make her easy to deal with. She stays to herself never coming to anyone, not even our parents.
My toddler self was not getting better. All she saw was people hate, fear and dirty looks. She could hear them say something to one another every time she passes them. Even if she couldn't understand what was said, she felt it. The look on my toddler self face told me everything. She hated them. My parents believe that I was not getting better. The doctors agree. The doctor recommend socialization and to get rid of the lock and to do more things together as a family.
So they did what they were told. It was working slowly but my younger self still didn't understand much. Nor was she bonding well with her siblings. She still didn't socialize but she wasn't attacking anyone. So I guess my parents believe they were going in the right direction. I didn't feel like anyone liked my toddler self or wanted her around. She didn't understand people and why they didn't want to be around her.
A few days past after this and my daddy wanted to take my Younger-self to the doctor. She hates going there because every time she went she needed to get a shot. Like any child she hated, so while he held her arm and dragging her to the car. She bit him and ran off. She had tears in her eyes and was afraid.
I then saw my toddler-self hide under a car. The same care I first saw him. My best friends. The first real bond I ever had. "Hey guys it's a girl!" the boy had blond hair and had a white shirt on with black pants on.
After that it was history. I had a friend, a best friend and other who loved me. It didn't get better right away but it did. With friends I was able to open up to my family more and I saw the white wolf one more time. I saw her in the window of my house in Miami Everglades. She stood in the distance watching with those yellow eyes and then she was gone. I didn't understand it then but I felt safe.
