Woah, That Is Not Normal!

Chapter 5: Woah, That Is Not Normal!!

I wake up at about 3 in the morning and have to run to the toilet so I don't end up vomiting all over the bed and on Marcus. I spend the next 20 minutes like this, hunched over the toilet, vomiting until Marcus wakes up and comes in. "Woah, are you okay" he asked looking worried. "Yeah, I'm the best I've ever been" I say sarcastically. "Should I get your parents" he asked. "That would be nice, but make sure no one sees you or they'll kill you" I said. As he walks out I start throwing up again.

A few minutes later my parents burst into my room, looking worried. My mum runs to me and asks if I'm okay. "Yeah I'm the best I've ever been" I say. "Whats up with people asking that" I think. "Surely it's obvious that I'm not okay". My mother goes to hug me, but I start to throw up again, but this time I start to experience an excruciating pain in my back I scream with pain. That's the last thing I remember before I blacked out.

When I surface again, I'm lying in my bed. Marcus is sitting next to my bed in a chair. "Where are my parents" I ask him, startling him. He obviously didn't realise I was awake. "They went down to the pack doctor" he said. "Ooh" I said. All of a sudden I experienced another blinding streak of pain in my back, and I feel the back of my shirt rip. Marcus just sits there, with a look on his face that reminds me of my face when I found out there was no Santa Clause.

"What" I ask him, worriedly. Before he gets to answer, my mother, father and the pack doctor are standing at the door, gaping at me. I figured everyone was to speechless to tell me what was going on so I got out of bed, waited for the dizziness to go away and looked in my mirror. I was so shocked, I nearly fainted. When I looked in the mirror I saw me , my bright red hair, my oval shaped face and what I assume to be my new wings.

Yes, MY WINGS!! And they are not normal wings for angels. They are as red as my hair and my wolf.

I walked out of my bathroom and sit on my bed shaking. I felt Marcus's arms wrap around me. I hugged him back. He started to stroke my wings. There are a few black feathers in there, and it just makes me look evil. I look at my parents. They are trying to hide the expression on their faces, but I can still see it in their faces. Disgust. I feel like crying. I didn't even know I was part angel. Heck, I didn't even know one of my parents were full angels.

Yes, one of my parents are full angel because this does not happen usually. I try to think which one of them I have never seen shift before and realise it was my mother. So my mother is an angel. I look in her face and she's not even trying to hide it now. Her face is full of it. Once again, Disgust. How can she look at me like that. It's not my fault what colour my wings turn out to be. I can't help it! She turns her nose up at me and walks out of my room. My father follows.

I am left with the pack doctor and Marcus. The pack doctor says "Would you mind if I give you a check up to see if your body is coping properly". "It's fine" I practically whisper but he seems to hear me. He checks my temperature and the usual check up procedures. It turns out I'm fine.

5 minutes later here I am standing outside my fathers office, about to knock when I hear my mother and father talking about me. And it's something no child wants to hear their parents say this about them.

"What a disgrace she is" My mother says. "Like her wolf being red wasn't ashaming enough" She said. "I agree, I have never been so ashamed in my life" I heard my father say. "I nearly vomited when I tried to comfort her on her first change and again just then" said my mother. "I'm not even going to bother to try and comfort her this time. What a disgust" she said. "What are we going to do?" She said.

"We will have to kill her, of course" said my father. "I would never be able to show my face in public again if anyone finds. I am so ashamed" he said. "We can make it look like her mate killed her" said my mother. "Everyone will believe that because we told them that demons were evil" concluded my father.

At this I ran up to my room tears rushing down my face. I came into my room and jumped on my be, my tears like a tap on full blast that won't turn off. Marcus, who had been waiting for me in my room, immediately over so I could fit. I cuddled up next to him and let the tears flow. "What's wrong" he asked softly.

"I-I-I- I heard-d th-them talk-lking in my fath-thers off-ice" I stuttered. "Th-th-they said-d th-they we-we're ash-ashamed-ed and we-were go-going to ki-kill me-e" she continued. "I would never let them do that to you" said Marcus. He cuddled me for a little longer, then got up and walked over to my closet. "Wh-what a-are you do-doing" I asked him. "I said I wouldn't let them kill you, so I'm packing your things. We will have to leave here, so you can come to my home" he said simply. I was so shocked I stopped crying. "What about your parents?" I asked him as he pulled out a suitcase. "They won't mind, after I tell them your my mate" he said.

"I will come on one condition" I said to him. He stopped packing and looked at me. "And that condition is..." He asked. "That Montanna can come with me" I said. "Isn't Montanna the one who walked into your room the other morning while I was here?" He asked curiously. "Yeah" I said looking hopefully at him. "She can come.... If it's okay with my parents" he said. He looked doubtful. "Yay, I'll go get her" I say, as I walked through the door. "Maybe I'll pack first" I said and walked back into my room to help Marcus with my stuff.

An hour later all my stuff is packed and I was walking towards Montannas room. All of a sudden, I begin to worry. "What if she doesn't want to come" I think. I push those thoughts out of my head and knock on the door. "Come in" said Montanna. I went in and sat on the bed next to her. She looked at me curiously. "I need to ask you a huge favour" I ask her. "Sure what is it" she asks. "I need to leave the pack house and go and live with Marcus before my parents kill me and I was wondering if you could come with me" I say.

"What!! Wait why are your parents going to kill you!?!" She says. "Because it turns out I'm part angel and my wings are red and black and I heard my parents talking in my dad's office and they were saying they were so ashamed and that they would have to kill me before anyone found out about me. And it also turns out my mother is an angel and she thinks I'm disgusting, because of my wolf and wings colour. So I need to leave before they decide to kill me and I couldn't bear to leave you" I explain to her.

She hugs me and says "Of course I'll come with you". I look into her face and say "Are you sure?" And she replies "I'm absolutely positively sure" she said. "I'll just start packing" she says. "I'll help" I say. I'm so happy she said yes. "I so owe you one" I said. "I know" she says while smiling.
