The green springs pack

Tala 

"No.'' 

"Yes, Tala. You are going.'' My dad speaks and the authoritative tone in his voice makes my skin crawl. 

I have never really been ordered around by my parents before. Growing up, they let me make my mistakes, so I don't even understand why this is any different. 

Yeah, I shut off my humanity but it was my decision. it shouldn't matter to them. 

The night they found out; they left me alone for a couple of days but now they are here with this ultimatum. 

One that doesn't make any sense. 

"And if I refuse?" 

My papa is less angry right now "You can't refuse. Think about it as a vacation away from the pack." 

I want to tell them that I don't need a vacation but they will not listen to me right now. 

"The green springs pack is not a vacation.'' 

Papa smiles "You know that it is. Colm and Khalid are going for a weekend. It will do you some good to go with them."
