Drowning [Birch]

Quote:Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

?owyn's dark tawny fur blended in fairly well with the surroundings. She was in a cave, a dry and lifeless cave that was home to almost nothing if anything. Her eyes held a slight light to them however; this would be home to her. She wanted to be happy and happy she would be. This cave was just a building ground. ?owyn had recalled all that had every happened to her. It had started when she was the second born of the litter. Halgen had been groomed for leadership and yet he whimpered out. They refused to let her leaf because she was a woman and this did not suit her. She had outshone her brother in everything they had done and they still were willing to give him the throne.

Her own parents had tried to silence her... permanently.

Darkness suddenly filled her eyes as she recalled the fateful day that had almost led to her death. Lucky for her some supported her leadership. The female beta of the pack had trained her to beat her parents and it saved her life. ?owyn still wondered if perhaps Alanna had known what was going to become her and perhaps that was why she had been taught to defend herself. Alanna must have known her parents would not spare the girl who always triumphed over her brother. No, the dark tawny girl could almost laugh at the thought. The rules in the pack were strict and ?owyn was happy to finally be away from them. It brought a smile to her face knowing she didn't have to deal with her crazy parents anymore.

It was done. It was over. She needed to get over it. She never would. It was impossible.
