Souls Reborn: Our Entwined World
There are many sayings that talk about how one choice whether that's through actions or words can have a ripple effect throughout our lives. We can even feel these ripples back from the choices of those who came before us whether it's from the status you are born with to what you where born as. This is my story my name is Sarah white and yes I am the daughter of Dr White the infamous animal sciences and paranormal experts however I didn't always know this in fact You learn of this until my 18th birthday where everything changed. You see my story isn't a pretty one yes it may have a happy ending but the road to that ending wasn't all cupcakes and rainbows in fact my journey was filled with heartache and Suffering, pain and violence. This story isn't for the faint of heart so I advise you if you are too sensitive for any of this I advise you to leave my blog. No I know there's going to be a few people who are not going to pay attention to this warning and they're going to cop a fit in the comment section especially those lacking a brain cell oh boo hoo did i hurt your feelings if so maybe you should leave cuz whatever you type up it's not going to affect me one but I'm no pushover sweetheart and trust me I know that there's some people out there who have heard of the events that happened within the city that I call home and have brushed it off at some hox but trust me when I say this. The supernatural is more real than you know and the reason you don't know a thing is because of the events that happened in my city because of those events we now have the laws and rules in order to protect both humans and the supernatural from the things that lurk in the shadows when you're back is turned to the eerie howls during the midnight Moon. Things that science alone can't explain. So sit back relax cuz my story is about to begin and like all stories mine starts back at the beginning. ⏳18 years ago ⌛ Among the Red glow of the Full Moon and the dense fog that mirrored its color, the cries of a child could be heard as the sound of gunfire filled the air a man appeared running to his truck holding his child close to his chest as he opened the truck door and placing the child inside before closing the door calling someone asking them to come to the parking lot near the trail before a loud Bang only for the man to drop his phone before collapsing to the ground. A large shadow appeared against the car door before trying to open it he searched the man's dead body failing to find the keys upon looking inside he noticed the key on the seat as he slammed his hand against the car head lights blinded him causing him to take off into the woods as two figures get out and approach the car finding the man shot to death as the female figure looked inside gasping in shock as her husband began to call the authorities. Upon hearing his wife he walked over seeing the child inside used his arm to bust open the truck and open the door allowing his wife to grab the crying child soothing it without hesitation as she asked where the child's mother was before finding a letter next to where the child has been looking it over before looking to her husband with a sadden expression handing it over as tears fell as her husband rush out of there before giving the police officer his information explaining the situation. ⏳18 years later ⌛ Bang! I jump out of my skin at my friend Melissa sat down at my table with her lunch tray making me put my book down. "What up with you?" I asked as her cousin sat down next to her saying something in Spanish before turning around and explaining how her mom had forbade her from going to the test of courage next weekend because it was the night of her baby cousin's birthday party. "Well, what you expect this year it's being hosted by Jose who's a senior this year meaning this is my only chance to go to the thing with him." Melissa whines making me roll my eyes you see the Test of Courage is a yearly senior event every senior in school gets together at midnight to take part in the test of courage typically it's an event only for seniors but if you're one of the lucky few to be invited by senior you can participate last year was hosted by Ryan who past the honor onto Melissa boyfriend Jose. I never planned on attending that stupid event after all what the point after all I know how it's going to go. Jose is going to tell that stupid story about the corrupt scientist that turns people into werewolves then he's going to send a group in one at a time and knowing me I'm going to end up by myself because my partners will be scared off immediately. don't get me wrong I have my own fears but werewolves, zombies, and vampires please they are not scary with werewolves you have to climb a tall tree and wait them out, and with zombies depending on what kind you're dealing with you just got to get somewhere high and on uneven ground and vampires well as long as you can keep them from getting to your neck and avoid dark places with no light then your good but none of that real. "you reading that garbage again?" Erica said looking at the book in my hand shaping my attention to her. "hey the supernatural facts may be wrong and the movie may have some crappy acting but overall it does have an intriguing plot." I said shaping my book close as Erica removed all the items from her tray right before I grabbed it holding it over my head as the sound of liquid hitting it was heard. "Nice try Ardrey couldn't think up anything better to do?" I said maneuvering the tray and getting it up as she stepped in front of me suddenly making me run into her with the milk-filled tray causing a loud squeal. Rolling my eyes. "geez what did you think would happen seriously how many times are we going to go through this? Your attempts of bullying seriously lack." "Sarah white you think you're cool don't but you're not. don't you get it no one here wants a weirdo like you just look at your white hair talk about weird." she said smiling like she just said the most hateful thing ever. rolling my eyes again I shove the tray into her arms before walking back to my seats to notice Erica and Melissa trying to hide their laughter. "Ms. Larnce..." I called out to one of the teachers that just walked into the cafeteria. "I think Ardrey might need a change of clothes she accidentally spilled her milk on herself." at my words the teacher came over and rushed her out asking her what happened. "Man what is her deal so what if your hair is white I think it looks pretty cool you know like one of those anime characters your always watching." Erica Remarked looking into her compact mirror brushing her hair out with her fingers. "Well if were done talking about that bitch can we get back to the real problem at hand. The only way I can get out of going is if someone else i know gose so..." Melissa said making me snap my attention to her. "Oh hell no don't give me that look." I said pinching my nose in annoyance. "Melissa I told you time and time again I am not going to this thing it's just stupid." "Please Sarah you're the only other person I know that I could prevent to go to this thing your a senior plus haircut can't go since she's helping her mom make the cake plus don't you like this type of things I mean literally your favorite holiday is Halloween and that's nobody's favorite holiday." "And you think that's going to convince me to go." "Come on Sarah for me please when I'm a senior next year Jose won't be able to attend plus i heard there going to be a blood red on the night of the test of courage." "wait that's soon wasn't the last one like 18 years ago." Erica chimed in. My interest peeked there have been many occurrences since i was born but my parents constantly kept me in those nights and since I wasn't 18 I had no choice but to follow the rules is there a call Melissa both known I've been interested in seeing one for myself for years. "Fine I'll go." I said Melissa shot out of her chair and embraced me thanking me making me roll my eyes. "However the moment you guys abandon me on the trail I'm out of there you understand. I won't be somebody's third wheel so if I'm going with you you're doing the test of courage with me." "Alright that a deal. You won't regret this." She said before running off most likely to let Jose know that she'll be attending after all making me and Erica laughed at her Antics. The next morning, I woke up to my dad walking into my room and opening the curtains, making me groan, and shielding my eyes from the light. Only then did I start hearing this loud ringing sound, causing my head to hurt. I could swear I heard whispers of voices in my head, their words muffled and distorted. "Hey, sweetie, you're okay, what's wrong?" My dad asked, appearing in front of me. At my dad's words, it stopped. "No, I'm fine it nothing what going on?" "Have you forgotten? You're helping me out at the zoo today." "Oh, yeah, wolves!" I said excitedly, jumping out of bed and running off to get dressed. My dad laughed before yelling out that he would be downstairs waiting. Mom had made her famous breakfast with bacon, which made me even more excited. As I brush my teeth look up into the mirror and notice my eyes turn an eerie yellow making me scream out in fright at the sudden occurrence blinking twice before leaning close not seeing everything I brush it off as just my imagination only to notice my bangs to slowly began to turn blue Freaking me out only for my Mom to yell out that breakfast was ready. Making me quickly forget the incident before rushing downstairs where Mom greeted me with her usual kiss on the forehead before telling me to make my plate. As I finished I sat next to my dad who was going through some important papers. Mom as usual yells out at him that work wasn't allowed at the table before making him on the head with the newspaper. "Sorry dear it seems one of the Cheetas is refusing to eat or leave a den it managed to dig itself and I have been going through the vet reports trying to figure out what it could be however vet reports say the same thing unless we are willing to pay them to come out they can't give an Offical diagnosis and unfortunately the directed of the zoo isn't willing to to pay as much as they would like for a visit. "Wait is it Masa?" I asked looking towards my dad Masa was the only female Cheeta in the Cheeta enclosure. "Yeah the den is so small we can't get a good look at her to figure out what's wrong and what's worse is she won't come out even when we put food in the enclosure." "Maybe Masa pregnant after all when female Cheeta get pregnant even if they Originally stick with a male Cheeta they tend to not want to be around male cheetahs since Males even if they father the offspring will kill the cubs so if she is pregnant the den could be her way of safeguarding the cub and herself." "you know what I didn't think of that." my dad said reaching over and hugging me. "My Daughter the Genius." "Dad Come on you should have known that that was one of the first animal facts you taught me when I was growing up." "yeah, and I feel like an idiot for not remembering that Fact myself I'll make the call so the zookeepers can remove Zuma and Bliz from the enclosure. when we get there I can see if I can get Masa out well you check on those wolves of yours." I let out a slight laugh at my dad I finished mom special Breakfast before running to catch up to my dad hopping into his truck. As we got closer I started to hear voices again this time it was becoming clearer that they were bickering about who was better as a female voice quickly reprimanded the other two. The voices began to give me a headache only for it to vanish as my dad asked if I was alright. "yeah, I'm fine just a slight Headache is all." I said smiling at him. He informed me how he had Headache medicine in the glovebox upon opening it up I found it taking some out and quickly chasing it with some water from my bag that Dad keeps in the truck for days like this. Upon arriving my dad left me at the entrance of the wolf enclosure. As I stepped in closing the gate behind me I was greeted by The four wolves there's Zylee, Zane, Midnight, and Ash. I can remember their names more easily than the other animals since I was the one who named them when they first came in after being found abandoned in the forest as pups beside their handlers and myself. If anyone other than us goes into their enclosure, they'll attack. "Hey, guys," I said as I saw them running up. Zane pounces on Ash as the two wrestle on the ground, making me laugh before they stop as Zylee gives a loud growl at the two wolves. Ever since coming here, Zylee has always been more dominant out of the four wolves as Midnight attached himself to her, only jumping in to help keep Zane and Ash in line. Knowing what I know about them clearly, Zylee was the Alpha, and Midnight was clearly her beta. As for the others, I Have no clue about how they act; my best guess is that they were most likely considered omegas among the other two. Before I made my way past the silly wolves, I sat down as Ash walked up to me and placed his head on my lap. "Tired, buddy?" I said to him as I petted his head before, to my surprise, I heard him say. "Yeah, I am sick of Zane getting me in trouble." which causes me to jump. That voice it's was one of the ones that had been in my head since this morning which means the other Voice had to be from Zaylee and one of the other two males. Hold Up! Since when can the wolves speak?
