Half-Lycan

I tore down the stairs with screams bursting into my ears and fear racing through my veins. I threw my weight against the pack house front door and wrenched it wide open—only to find rogues and pack members everywhere, tackling, biting, shredding, and killing each other. I screwed my eyes shut and jammed my hands over my ears, praying none of it was real. After a few deep breaths I forced them open again, but nothing was different, and panic set in. With only one thing in my head, I knew I had to fight with everything in me. As I sprinted over the open field, nobody paid me any attention; they were too busy fighting and killing. I pushed through the endless trees looking for my siblings. I didn't get it; they should've been back in the pack house with me. Why were they reckless enough to leave? Pressed behind a thick tree, I heard someone moving close by. I peeked around the bark and saw Ivy's wolf. "Ivy!" I called sharply, waving my sister over. Her wolf's eyes widened the second she saw me, full of terror and regret. She shook her head wildly while tears ran down her face. Then another wolf slammed into her and ripped into her throat before I could do anything. "Ivy! Ivy no!" I screamed when her body dropped limp onto the forest floor. I dragged my stare away from her because I couldn't stand to keep looking. My sister was gone for good. The wolf that killed her swung toward me with nothing but rage and evil in its eyes. Without even a second to grieve my sister, it charged, and I braced for the hit with my eyes squeezed shut. I waited to die like some weak wolf, but it never happened. When I risked a look, the wolf that murdered my sister was locked in a brawl against one of the pack guards. I didn't waste my chance and bolted deeper into the woods. The image of my sister's dead, empty eyes clouded my mind and made it hard to keep my head clear. What was I supposed to do? How was I ever going to tell everyone? The pain in my chest was eating through me little by little, but I kept running while tears slid down my face and hit the dirt under my feet. I ran into more rogues fighting and ducked behind another tree fast. My heart pounded while I looked out again and caught sight of the dead wolves scattered across the ground. Then I froze and stopped breathing. Oh, goddess. No, please.
