Sunrise
Chapter 2: Hell's Beginning
Leah stayed in her alcove until sundown when she could no longer ignore the hunger pains. As a wolf one thing that comes off as humorous to the humans is our hunger. However, it is one part that really sucks. I am always hungry and never full. Our metabolism is on a constant burn cycle due to changing forms so often.
I rubbed a hand across my face and made the trek back to the mainland. I watched as everyone went about their business. Everyone of these people had no clue as to how close the danger came to our home. Blissfully unaware. I wish I was one of them.
Quickly, I made my way up the front porch steps and went into the kitchen. I looked in the pantry and found a can of diced tomatoes and some ritz crackers. Nothing here. Maybe something is in the refrigerator. I found some milk, some cheese slices, and other condiments. No sustenance.
Then I sat down at the dinner table. A note was folded underneath the salt shaker. I pulled it out and unfolded the note to see my mom's handwriting.
Leah,
I hope you make it back safe and find this note my songbird. I am truly sorry that we do not have any food here at the moment. The council and the pack are having a big barbeque and bonfire tonight. I have already left to pick up Billy and Quill Sr. I hope you come and join your family for food and fun.
However, I do understand if you do not feel completely up to it. I understand that it is more than hard for you to be around Sam and Emily. The others might not understand it, but I do darling. I have left money for you if you wanted to go get your own food. The money is in the drawer next to the dishwasher. I should be home before midnight.
I love you to the moon my songbird.
With Love,
Your mother
Now, do I go or do I stay? I know what I want and I know what I should do. Both options are polar opposite.
