The Boring Elesi

"Alesi? Alesi!" My Mother calls for me as I run through the woods, flinching each time my bare foot hits the cold ground. "Alesi!" She is getting closer, following the scent of my blood - following the sound of my heart. I can feel her hot breath upon my skin. "Alesi. Naughty girl. You know better than to run from Mother." Her teeth upon my skin, pain rushing over my battered body. I try to scream, but my voice is lost to the silence of the woods. The darkness overtakes me. 

"Alesi?" I wake up, panting again as I try to focus and listen to the small voice beside me. "Alesi we need to wake for chores. You want to be able to eat breakfast today, right?" 

It was all just a dream. I groan, peeking over at Brenna with a frown. "I am up, Bre." She pouts, the young omega looming for a few more moments before moving to the door to leave. "You best hurry, Alesi." 

As Brenna leaves I can hear the sound of the others within the Omega dorms scurrying about. The night shift returns, and the day shift gets ready to greet the sun. 'You best get moving, Alesi. Now is not the time to dawdle.' Vesper teases, my wolf being in high spirits this morning. ‘It was the nightmare again, Vesper...' I try to reason with her, curious if she would speak of it. 'I know, Alesi. But nightmares are merely dreams. We must live in reality. Our mother is dead. We were told this years ago.'

I rather not argue with Vesper this early, pulling myself out of bed to put on my uniform. My raven hair in the morning makes me feel like I belong in a horror film, straight hair covering my face tangled in the back. "It's our Birthday soon..." A day that should be of joy, but all I can remember is the night of my thirteenth learning of my Mother's death. 'That was five years ago, Alesi.' 

All I have left of my Mother is her lucky charm; a rose pendant necklace. She wore it every day - even that day. Now I wear it everyday.

I gather my things and head down to the front of the dorms to meet up with Bre. She isn't waiting patiently, tapping her foot and giving me a look as I walk up to her. "You need to stop staying up so late. I know you are studying, but we have work that needs to be done. We aren't teenagers anymore that can get away with being late." Such a grumpy little lady, but she is my best friend. "I know, Bre. I am sorry. I just lost track of time...again. Let's get going to the pack house - perhaps you can get sight of the warriors running shirtless?" 

Bre almost purrs at the thought, quickly catching herself and huffing before turning to start walking. "I could care less about those buff idiots." I giggle, knowing all too well why she is acting this way. "Come on Bre. I know a certain warrior that might be a dumb idiot, but is really sweet." If steam could come out of Bre's ears, they would. She stiffens, turning to look back at me with these hot bright cheeks. "ALESI!" 

My teasing continues a bit as we enter the forest path leading to the packhouse, the crisp autumn morning revealing my breath as I speak. "So are you going to the bonfire tonight?" Bre shrugs, letting out a sigh. "Those things are not much fun anymore. Everyone is just..acting like dumb kids. I don't know about you, but I rather not have to watch the girls fawning all over those brats." 

"So what do you want to do? We have the day off tomorrow..." If not the bonfire, it would be nice to do something. "How about we go for a run?" Bre offers, making Vesper excited. "Well you got Vesper's vote." "A run it is then."

We arrive at the packhouse, a few omegas wandering about gardening up front. Everyone had their jobs, and we had ours. Bre and I are maids, cleaning the messes of the upper ranks and their families.

Entering the Packhouse, we head towards the kitchens to help with breakfast before our cleaning duties - needing to wait for those slumbering to wake so we can tidy their rooms. The smells of the cooking meats cause my mouth to water, but work needs to be done before food is had.

After preparing and setting out the buffet, a bell is rung - signaling to those slumbering their food is ready. The Alpha and Luna are always the first to wake and enter the dining hall, sitting and waiting for their plates to be served and coffee brought. Bre was on up to serve them today, nervous as fuck that she might spill something. Like most omegas, we find the couple pretty terrifying - but we know they are who protects us. 

I have spoken to Luna once, and that was when my Mother died. She was very loving, and comforted me in my tears. I was sent to live with Bre and her family after that, till we were old enough to enter the Omega Dorms.
