Chapter 1: New Beginning

Alison's POV

It was dark, wet, and empty. I thought I was in a cave lying in a pool of water. But I wasn't submerged nor I'm above. I don't know how should I describe it. It feels like I'm in between, a crossroads between worlds. Is this what it feels like when you die? But I'm still not ready. I want to have my revenge no matter what. I pray for someone to grant me my wishes. I pray that I can escape this place.

Suddenly the ground started to shake. Tremors are making the water ripple throughout my body. In the far distance, I saw a small light until it illuminated the whole place. I blocked my view since the light was too blinding. Then I heard birds chirping. Warm sunlight invaded the room that I was all familiar with. I jerked up to touch my body.

There was still a stinging feeling. Where David lands the final blow, that cost me my precious life. I flinched although there was no wound. The memory was too vivid that I moved involuntarily.

Reminiscing the sweet painful memories we shared. His hazel brown eyes, his black hair, his pink soft lips on mine. I slapped the memory away. I'm not going to be some martyr begging for his love the second time.

'I will get that pig, Mandy Walker, for this. I will pluck out her black hair and squeeze her fatty body ugh.'

"Rise and shine sweetie. Remember it's your first day in the second year. Don't be late or the teacher will not smile at you." That familiar tone and giggles. My eyes instantly watered and I jumped out of bed to hug her. Her warmth was real it was my mother. She died together with my dad in a car accident two years before I got married to David Austin. That bastard's name brings me nothing but disgust and pure hatred.

"What's wrong sweetie? Did you have a terrible nightmare?" Astonished when I heard my mother's worried voice. I quickly shook the hideous thoughts of choking David and wiped my face.

"Mom, the w-w-what date is it today?" Still stuttering from crying hard.

"It's Monday sweetie, September 8th, XXXX" she looked at me in confusion.

"Nothing Mom, I just missed you and Dad," I answered to avoid suspicion. I still can't tell her or anyone what happened. They'll just think I've gone insane. I better write this information down before I forgot them. I ushered my mom playfully and told her I will be ready in a jiffy. She laughed but pats my head and kissed me. One thing I missed the most. I'm thankful for whoever or whatever gave me this second chance in life and I'll make sure I will live my life the way I want it and bring justice upon my death.

Before she closed the door she told me. "Sweetie you would tell me if something's wrong right? I want you to know I'm here for you." She smiled. I held back my tears and answered her.

"Of course Mom I would." Swallowing hard at the lie I couldn't fathom to utter. She gently closed the door and went downstairs.

I quickly wash and pick whatever clothes that I have. A simple shirt and pants would do. Then quickly opened my diary. Good thing I have this, the key to the lock is the necklace I'm wearing. It's safe if I left it here at home. I write as much information as I can remember. I'm back five years from the past so my current age is fifteen years old. Mom and Dad will die in three years. I need to know which date it was so I can prevent their deaths. Mandy Walker that snake-like b*tch. My blood boils whenever I remembered her. The two of them will pay for what they've done to me. They take everything and I will have them return it twice.

As soon as I finished I quickly ran downstairs. Dad was reading a newspaper while sipping his coffee. Mom was just putting toast on my plate and fried eggs. I kissed Dad on his cheeks and his eyes bulged in surprise. I giggled as he shot me a confused look.

"Wow someone's in a good mood to give morning kisses." He blurted jokingly.

"I just missed you Dad and of course Mom too," I said while munching my toast.

"Miss? Where did you go, sweetie?" Mom laughed?

"Oh Mom you wouldn't believe it I went somewhere scary I thought I won't be able to see you two." Still looking down at my plate, eating. I'm holding back my tears as hard as I can. When I looked up they gave me worried looks. I can't stand it anymore so I finished my breakfast and drank my glass of milk.

"I'll go to school now see you two later." I cheerfully said. Mom shouted goodbye as I left.

*********************************

At school, I couldn't stop my heart from beating rapidly. Wait that would kill me. I'm just so nervous that I can't get my act together. Well, who wouldn't when they're about to face their arch-nemesis? The two people you cared for and trusted so much but would stab you in the back the least you expected.

As I trudged along the hallway, I can't shake this jittery feeling I'm carrying. Somehow I can't pinpoint them among the students. Even with my wolf senses making me more anxious with each second passing.

I came face to face with my locker as sweat started to trickle down my forehead. Unlocking it and quickly grabbed the stuff I need for the first class. Then I smelled it. The scent I will never forget. A musky pine scent and another scent which smells like Strawberry scented papers from the stationaries. They are close. I abruptly closed my locker and went towards the second floor, where my room was supposed to be. As I enter the room the smell disappeared. Good, I'm still not ready to meet them yet.

The six hours went by like my previous life. It was a boring day same as any other first day. Getting to know each other, assignments, and activities. Even though half of my brain is listening to the teachers, half of it was planning revenge already. A teacher called me to introduce myself. I stand up and look at them with determined eyes.

"Okay, Alison your turn. Just state your name, age, address, parents, and what's your biggest dream." The male human teacher named Prof. Noland said.

"I am Alison Carter, sixteen years old. I live at #26 Hillston Street. My parents are both business partners. As for me, I don't have any big dreams to achieve. I just want my parents to be proud of what I will choose to do and what I will become someday." As I sat down the kids clapped their hands at me. Some don't give a damn about what's happening around them but some paid attention that they would even applaud me. Yes, I don't have a big dream. I just want to get back at the people who took everything away from me.

The class returned to normal afterward. And when the bell started to ring I was the first to come out. Heading straight to my locker to put the books I got this morning. Before I could even step outside the school I bumped into the two people I was trying so hard to avoid meeting.

"Oh hello, Alison. There you are twinnie." As soon as she stretched out her hands to hug me I slapped them. It turned bright red from the impact. David couldn't conceal his anger and growled at me. 'Oh, I hope you get caught by humans you stupid mutt.' I smiled subconsciously. I tried playing it cool.

"I'm sorry, you shocked me. You're like a SNAKE WHO WAS ABOUT TO STRIKE ME SO MY HANDS MOVED ON THEIR OWN." I said innocently. But my voice was already laced with poison hoping it can kill them. Mandy looked at me with her blue orbs as if asking what was wrong. David comes to her side and aids her to stand up. They look perfect, one is a stupid mutt while the other is a disabled pig.

I walked away before the kids started to swarm out. I can't risk gaining any attention from me. I want to be as silent as a true predator can be. Turning around to see that their jaws almost fell from the shock. That's how a she-wolf slays their enemy on the first day of school. I can't wait to get started. The anxiousness turns into exhilaration.

"Get ready I will kill you two before you know it," I murmured when I got far away from their wolf's hearing field.
