Chapter 19- Warrior
Aurora:
I was sitting by the lake behind the pack hospital when I felt someone sitting beside me. Without looking, I knew who it might be.
"See. What I brought for you," Jai showed me a mask that had colorful patterns painted on it. That’s what he had been doing all this time.
Searching and designing different masks that could cover the lower half of my face properly. I rarely went out, and if I did, it never happened without a mask.
Not only Maria, but everyone in the pack was scared of me. Jai was the only one who stayed in that room and consoled me.
The ointment he had applied to my face before bandaging, was given to him by a witch, and she had guaranteed a hundred percent result.
But nothing worked.
There was no way for me except to accept my fate and stay in this pack. Humans would never accept me.
I had stopped talking and communicating with every person around me. Poor Jai mostly carried out one-sided conversations, and I never responded to him.
Even tears were harmful for me. Its salt could make the irritation worse. My cheeks had turned into a cracked shell – Like a barren land that never got water on it.
There were tiny holes, and anybody could see the inner parts of my mouth quite easily.
For kids, I was a monster, and now I was sure I would be bullied by everyone around me. This time, nobody would take the stand.
