I walked down the stairs and headed straight for the dining hall where they waited. Elder Kurona had especially called me in for this dinner event today. Alpha's Initiation Ceremony was just days away.I knew what Elder Kurona wanted from me.
Oh, she'll get it today, alright.
Much to my annoyance their gaze filtered over to me as I entered.It was always the same.That hint of fear clinging in the air yet again.I titled my head to side and bowed mockingly, staring straight into Elder Kurona's eyes.Her pain filled eyes stayed with me until I took my seat.
The stilted silence and tension in the room felt suffocating.
"I am glad you came today,Zairi." It bothered me. This familiarity she showed towards me.
"It's Zairiya" I added venomously.
Her face contorted into pain.But still she continued "Oh yes,I apologize. Zairiya.I am happy to see you here."
