Itās been 5 years since I had the idea to run away. Everybody agreed with me but it was only the location we had to settle on. Where exactly would we go? What exactly would we do? How long would we hide for? Of course then I had no answers, I didnāt even think the plan thru. But now I understand clearly why we had to run, they wouldnāt stop until they had Elizabeth. Of course the note clearly stated we had until she was 10, but we learned quickly that they wanted her sooner than that. The pack didnāt agree with my idea right away, but after that first night they couldnāt turn back my idea. While we slept sprites broke into the house and had it not been for Michael smelling them, or Elizabethās screeching cry they would have took her. That morning I awoke to have my bags packed, the car ready and the house all but empty except for the bed and Elizabethās crib. We didnāt know where to go at first, Michael suggested we go to his parents house but that wnt a good idea. If I knew the council of flickenhammer I knew they would already have people watching all of their families homes. They suggested a place of nature, that I could agree too. All of the sprites at the council are water sprites, being that water is the most powerful element. While we drove we looked around, searching for a place that was far enough and could support us. āusā being me, Michael, Elizabeth and the pack. After driving for about three days we entered a very small town in Oregon. Only populized with 247 people, nobody would think to look for us here. Although all we really wanted was to go to one of the many hotels and sleep, we had to keep going. About 5 miles from the town square we found a coup;e of wolf dens in the forest. I had objections about this because wolves are very territorial and tend to be quite vicous when they attack. But Michael just waved me off.
ātheyāll smell us and turn hide to find somewhere elseā was his exact words. Sure enough we didnāt have any problems but then we had to buy things, there were a total of six dens, that was enough for two people to share one, and each one had the space that would fit five people at the most. Michael sent the redhead, whose name is jack, and the brunette, whose name is mary, to get stuff. The pack wrote a list of essentials and I wrote a list of basic baby things. When they came back they had 12 blow up beds, a whole bunch of covers and pillows, bottles of water, food, soap, and the baby stuff. And with that we started our new life. Elizabeth learned how to speak at 2, how to walk at 3 and how to grab things at 4. Her blonde hair has very faint blue stripes through them and is extremely curly. Just like her fathers. Sheās learned how to control her emotions but occasionally sheāll throw a tantrum and all hell will break loose in Helen. I would like to believe that the council is no longer watching us, sometimes I even pretend they arenāt but life isnāt about pretending. Its about facing your fears, if only I didnāt have to face them in 3 years.
Mommy always looks so sad, I wish I knew why. I hope she isnāt sad about me, everytime sheās around me itās like she rather be somewhere else. Everybody else likes me, everybody else gives me hugs, everybody else loves me. I want mommy to love me so much, and I try so , so hard. I give her all the hugs and kisses and love I can but she doesnāt seem to want it. Daddy tells me that she loves me but itās in a different way then he loves me. Daddy says that Iām special, when I ask him why he says its because of everything I can do. I tell him I donāt know what he means and he taps my nose. He does this all the time, he always smells good. He smells likeā¦. Strawberries, fresh strawberries, Iāve only had them one time. It was really really hot and mary brought some home, I got to eat a nice juicy one and it got all over my face. Daddy laughed at me but mommy frowned and started to cry. I donāt eat strawberries anymore. The water feels nice on my legs, I spread my toes out and a fish swims by. John found the pond, itās not far from the houses but mommy says Iām not supposed to go here. It doesnāt feel right being around all of those people, and the water helps me think clearer. I raise my head up and breath the air, it has the smell of the water and the earth, but thereās something else there. It smells likeā¦ me. I look around and see a man, heās very pretty. He has black and blue striped hair and blue eyes, and like me heās wearing grass clothes. Mommy said I could wear normal clothes like normal girls but I like the grass better. It feels right. He also has his feet in the water but heās looking at me, heās smiling. He has a pretty smile,
āyou look like your motherā his voice sounds musical,
ādaddy says that tooā my voice is the opposite from his. Itās so small and squeaky, and surely not musical. The pretty man frowns and mommies arms wrap around my stomach, daddies dog comes out from the trees and growls at the pretty man.
āElizabeth what were you doing here? I told you not to come out herā mommy yells at me
ābut I wanted to feel water, and nobody noticed I was gone-ā
āthat doesnāt matter, you donāt go anywhere without me or your father, or by yourself at all!ā she screaming so loud at me. Only thing I wanted was to feel the water, tears sting my eyes and I nod as she puts me back down.
ānow go back to the houses and go to coraās houseā she isnāt yelling but her voice is still mean. The tears are streaming down my face as I run toward the houses and go to coraās house.
God, if I hadnāt smelled him, and alexis hadnāt sensed him who knows what would have happened! I wanted to tell alexis not to be so tough on her but I think sheās slowly going away. The laughing, loving, smiling alexis I once knew is now replaced by a grimacing, cold, broken hearted one. I understand what with the council and everything there is a reason to be so uptight but she makes herself distant from Elizabeth. We both hear Elizabeth cry herself to sleep at night, but yet itās only me that goes to console her. You need to focus, my wolf snaps at me, I donāt trust any of theses sprites except for our own. Heās right I have to pay attention to the sprite, not my emotions. He raises his arms in surrender,
āI meant no harm,ā heās looking at alexis and I let my eyes travel to her too. Her eyes are pitch black, her nostrils are flared and her fists are clenched. Sheās not angry, or threatened, sheās just flat out pissed.
āyou follow my scent here,ā her teeth are ground together āyou talk to my daughter and you think obscene things about herā. She takes one step toward him and before she does anything I step in front of her, she looks to me and kicks me to a tree. What the hell did she do that for? My wolf asks,I whine in pain it feels like sheās burned me with an iron. I look back to her, she hasnāt even looked my way she stands in front of the sprite and even though heās got at least 6 inches on her he looks scared. I feel a withdrawl and realize I canāt save him, sheās pissed and sheās going to hurt him. I might as well enjoy the show, she punches him in the gut then knees him in the face. While heās down holding his face she grabs his hair and whispers,
āyou tell anyone where we are, you think to anyone where we are if you happen to fly by here,ā she growls out āI swear to everyone I love I will not hesitate to kill youā she bites his ear. In a way it looks sensual but the look on his face reveals itās painful, a grunting sound comes from him and she lets him go. She takes a couple of deep breaths and looks to me with brown eyes. Fear comes on her face and she steps over the sprite to me, she touches my side where she kicked me and I cant help the whine that comes out.
āoh god Iām so sorryā she hugs me and I rest my head on her shoulder for a minute. I watch as the sprite spreads his wings and flies away, he doesnāt look back at alexis or me he just flies away. I step away and point my head towards the dens, she nods then stands up and walks next to me. I guess somewhere along the walk there she realized what she said to Elizabeth and runs towards coraās den. She doesnāt knock she just pushes aside the comforter we all use for a door and goes to stand in front of Elizabeth. I feel so bad for her, she just wants her mother to love her. At least thatās what she tells me, Elizabeth looks up from her coloring book to her mom then to me. Her face lights up, then she frowns and puts her head down
āsorry daddy, I just wanted to feel the waterā she looks up to see my reaction so I just give one nod to the head and she smiles again. Her smiles are magnificent her eyes turn to pink and she has cute little dimples that only just mar her freckles. She doesnāt say anything to alex she just starts to color again, alex kneels beside her and I see that she has tears streaming down her face,
ādonāt you ever think that, I love you and I always willā Elizabeth looks up to her mother and her eyes start to turn to a dull pink,
āreally?ā her tiny voice squeaks and cracks. Alex nods and opens her arms for a hug, Elizabeth wraps her arms around her mother as if shes the only thing that matters right now. And at that alex breaks apart, she wraps her arms around Elizabeth and sits on the den floor, she rocks back and forth softly saying things ā Iām so, so sorryā she says. Then after a while that gets replaced by soft āelizabethās . when Iām sure Elizabeth is sleeping I slowly slink to our den and change back.
How blind could I have been!? Sheās been hurting, wanting me to love her not thinking I loved her! I love her, with all my heart, probably more, o cant show it though. I donāt know if theyāve been watching us or how long theyāve been watching us but I have to be as separated from her as I can without it hurting too much. Iāve been so jealous of everyone else, Iāve wanted to hug her, and kiss her and just love her. But if anyone saw her with me they would
