Chapter 4: In which I am consumed

Start from the beginning
                                    

That was the only time I disobeyed the Alpha's orders.

I walked inside the house, cringing at the creak the door made. 

"Father?" I said into the darkness. 

A huddled figure gave a slight movement. 

I walked up to it and crouched down. 

"My love. You came," my father weakly said, stroking my face. I watched as tears slowly trailed down his face. 

I pulled a needle with clear liquid from my back pocket and inserted it into him. 

The effect was immediate. His face fell when he realized it was me. 

"Dad?" I whispered.

"Fayette," he whispered back to me. 

We both stared at each other. I knew he was waiting for the drug to wear out so that he could go back to his delusional state. 

I took a deep breath. I found what I was looking for in his eyes. 

"I have what you want father." 

For the first time in a long time, I saw something in my father's eyes. Hope.

I was jerked awake. 

I heard a desperate whisper, one full of pain and sadness say, "Fayette, you need to come with me."

I was lead to the house. 

The door opened with a creak.

I didn't call out for father. He was right there. 

Lying on his side, staring at a picture of mother. 

Scattered around him were empty needles. 

'"Fayette I'm so sorry...." 

My head didn't register the voices though. I slowly walked up to the fallen man. 

The last thing he saw was her. 

Not the picture of us. 

I knew the guilt was too much for him- the fact that he was leaving me. The fact that he had asked me to help while abandoning me to the to cruel world. 

Suddenly I heard screaming. 

I felt a prickle of pain on my arm as I looked down and saw a needle with clear liquid in me. 

'Oh,' I thought. 'That was me.'

I  woke up screaming and covered in sweat

I  woke up screaming and covered in sweat. 

I quickly covered my mouth though. 

How long have I been screaming? Did anyone hear me?

I sat there calming myself for a long time. My heart rattled in my chest, never quite getting back the beat it needed. 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. 

"Y-yes?" I answered startled.

"Hey Fayette," I heard Jane's voice say behind the door, "We're leaving in an hour for Breen Castle. Just wanted to let you know." 

I heard Jane's footsteps walk away. 

Trying to take deep breaths, my stuttering heart would not be still.

It had been a long time since I was tortured by my own mind.
