章節 22: Exposed
Monday.
Kellian threw on some black jeans and a fancy top and some boots. Then checked herself out in the mirror, 'This looks like I tried right? Whatever the only reason I'm going is for Carly.'
Kellian arrived at school and greeted the guys who were also wearing casual wear. Then Carly came over in a cute little pink dress with matching heels and jewellery.
"You're so cute Carly!" Kellian squealed.
"Thank you. But I thought I told you to dress pretty." Carly scolded.
"I did." Kellian was confused.
"Sigh. At least you tried." Carly sighed.
The first hour goes by, everyone was having fun. But something or well someone had to ruin it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. You may be confused about why we had to throw this event out of the blue. Well to tell you the truth. Something was happening and I couldn't just sit back and do nothing." Amanda started announcing on stage.
People start to get confused but everyone had their attention on her.
"Something has infiltrated our beloved school. And that something was a human!" Amanda said with a worried expression.
The audience starts freaking out.
"What's going on?"
"This is a prank right?"
"No way a human is among us!"
Kellian looks at the guys nervously. The guys know exactly where this is going but can't do anything because stopping Amanda would make things difficult.
"That human is Kellian Heart. She pretended to be our dear classmate just to get information on our strongest wolves. We couldn't do anything when we found out because she had the Alpha and his friends wrapped around her little finger." Amanda explained.
"No way!"
"But didn't she beat Amanda in a fight?"
"We laid a trap for her to attack us but we never expected her to play dirty. Since this human wandered into our den... Let's make her life a living hell!!!" Amanda yelled.
The audience cheered.
"Also. Cally has betrayed us by siding with the human deliberately so she has been demoted to an omega. Feel free to do as you please with her like you would any other omega. She is nothing to us." Amanda smirked.
"Let's go," Ryder stated. The guys grabbed the two girls and got out of there.
"Go home. We'll handle this." Leo stated.
The guys went back to the event sight after the girls have left.
"Alpha... you no longer have to listen to that disgusting thing!!! We will broadcast it to the world do you will be free!!!" Amanda said excitedly when Ryder returned.
The audience cheered.
"Disgusting thing... If Kellian is a disgusting thing... Then what are you!? Manipulating the population of this school because you got your ass beat by a human!" Leo yelled.
The audience began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Why... Why are you still on the side of that thing!? Do you not remember what they've done to us?!" Amanda was getting angry.
"Kellian has not done anything of that!" Dexter yelled.
The audience were all shocked.
"Not yet! She's a human spy!!! She was only playing nice." Amanda was too angry to care about Dexter speaking.
"Yeah, there's no way a human would come here otherwise!!!"
"She has never had contact with any other humans," Leo stated.
"And what's your proof!" Amanda yelled.
"I've been to her house. It smells of werewolves and her own scent. From that I can Guarantee a human aside from Kellian has never set foot on the premises." Leo explained. 'That's a lie. There were far too many for me to identify. I was only able to recognize three female scents aside from Kellian's. Two were pleasant and unidentifiable and one was a normal female wolf.'
"Could she have been raised by wolves?"
"Most likely," Leo replied to the audience.
"Then she can't be a spy for the humans."
"W-what?" Amanda was shocked by the sway of opinion in the audience.
"... But I was sure she was a spy. She was collecting information on the alpha..." Amanda didn't know where was going to go from there.
"But who would she be collecting that information for?" Leo asked.
"I don't know..." Amanda replied. 'I need something I can go off of. Please someone say something!'
"If she was raised by wolves she should be treated like one," Leo stated.
'There!' Amanda smiled. "Then she'd be an omega. She's obviously weaker than every wolf here plus she attacked The alpha female and her friends."
Sally frowned, 'Are you calling me weak? That thing was really strong!'
Ryder glared daggers at Amanda when she said the words Alpha female. She wasn't wrong in calling herself that but Ryder knows she's hinting there's a relationship between the Alpha male and female.
"If she's an omega we can still treat her as the human she is and she'll have no objections since she knows werewolf law." They began to talk about what they'd do to Kellian and Carly. Amanda smirked knowing the plan was a success.
A loud howl was heard drawing everyone's attention. That howl was soon doubled, both Ryder and Dexter had begun to howl. Every wolf in the room bowed immediately.
"If the girl named Kellian Heart loses so much as hair off her head I will not hesitate to PUNISH you," Ryder warned.
"Yes, Alpha." Everyone responded.
"Also not a single word of this leaves this school. If I hear anyone outside of school mention this I'll hunt down that person and the person who told them." Ryder threatened.
"... Isn't that a little harsh?" Amanda was surprised by Ryder's reaction.
"You did not care about harsh when you announced to everyone Kellian's identity. I will personally punish anyone who harms Kellian as well." Dexter replied.
"I will also. And unlike those two you could be half-dead and I'll still punish you. It also doesn't matter if you've already been punished I will punish you." Leo added.
No one will reveal the fact that Kellian is human. Most werewolves learnt their place and wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Kellian.
Meanwhile, the two girls already went to their homes and called each other to talk.
"Well, that was dramatic and uncalled for," Kellian commented.
"No! This is a big deal don't sound so calm!" Carly yelled.
"Okay? I don't really understand but I'm guessing you'll explain." Kellian laughed.
"First you need a history lesson on how wolves treat humans and Omegas," Carly stated.
"Since you're human I'll start with that. Humans and Werewolves have never gotten along. We once hid in seclusion not knowing about the existence of humans and other species but the humans because to explore and take up more land and that's when they discovered us. For a while, they treat us like gods but that didn't last long because as soon as they found out that we can die they stopped."
"And the first war was started. Well, I'm not sure if it was "the first war" but it's the first in our recorded history. Werewolves suffered a crushing defeat and humans made us their slaves for all kinds of dumb reasons. We were miserable and planned a coup d'etat. A new war began. Our hatred made us stronger and we had the help of an extremely powerful Alpha and his mysterious best friend."
"We started our own society again from scratch but we had one true leader that had authority over everyone, The Alpha King, who was that extremely powerful wolf. The Alpha King approved a law that states, criminals and hostile humans are murdered on sight and reported to the wolf authorities or are reported to the wolf authorities to be tortured and eventually killed depending on their crime."
"Regular humans that stumble upon us are either treated as slaves like we once were or treat them the same as the omegas."
"I see. Well, there is a good reason for it. But... omegas... I just don't understand." Kellian commented.
"Then I shall explain big sis. Omega wolves are the lowest on the totem pole. Omegas are forced to submit to every one of a higher rank. You can tell an Omega from a mile away since they keep their tails tucked, shoulders hunched and head lowered. They are constantly in fear of being noticed by someone of higher rank."
"Omegas are not hated and despised like humans but are instead more of a means of entertainment. Sometimes they would be used to play games where both parties are happy and other times the source of entertainment was just that a source of entertainment."
"The most common form of entertainment being the Omega punching bag. The Omega plays the role of a punching bag and gets beaten. Sometimes it gets so bad that the Omega ends up in the hospital."
"What!?" Kellian was surprised.
"Even so nothing is done because it is not against the law to hurt an Omega. As long as the Omega isn't killed everything is legal. That means Omegas are used to satisfy those above them in every way imaginable." Carly explained.
"That's too cruel," Kellian commented.
"It's the social hierarchy... But you what makes it worse?" Carly asked.
"What?"
"Omegas are not even safe among themselves," Carly stated.
"What?"
"Even among Omegas, there is a struggle for power and dominance. The strong still pray on the weak." Carly explained.
"That's sad," Kellian commented with a frown.
"Oh, and you know how you have Alpha males and Females? Omegas have that too. Omega males and females."
"Umm... How do you become an omega?" Kellian asked.
"Well, the main reasons are being small and weak... like me. Other than that you have people who are lone wolves that refuse to follow the normal pack rules and people who lost in a fight to an Omega."
"Can you move up the ranks once you've been named an Omega?"
"No, you can not. The only way an omega become a normal wolf again is if they are allowed to join a pack or they start their own pack. For example, Ein is an Omega who will most likely become an alpha after graduation. He is strong and has already started his own mini pack. The only reason he is an Omega is because Ryder named him one after he refused to follow Ryder's orders on multiple occasions." Carly answered.
"I see."
"But then you have Omega Outcasts. They are criminals. Most have attempted to kill or have killed an alpha. Omega Outcasts with severe crimes like those are cast out of the werewolf Kingdom and forced to fend for themselves. It's hard to find others like themselves so they live and die alone." Carly continued.
"That's sad but understandable," Kellian commented.
"You have minor Omega Outcasts too... like me. I betrayed the trust of my pack and I am of no use to the pack so I'll be treated horribly by everyone tomorrow... And no one will take the time to care how I feel since I'd be a minor outcast." Carly continued,
"But... If they hurt you that will make scumbags... If they're scumbags then I'm free to hurt them as much as I want!" Kellian said with a smile.
"Kellian... You're scaring me." Carly commented.
"She takes a few breaths to calm herself, " I'm sorry. Just know as long as they attempt to hurt you I can and will protect you." Kellian smiled.
"Thanks but strong people will be after me too..." Carly was grateful but didn't want Kellian to be in danger.
"I'll be fine... Unless the principal decides to take action I will beat anyone who harms you into a bloody pulp." Kellian smiled.
"Don't say things like that... We are definitely going to be targeted tomorrow." Carly was worried Kellian meant what she said.
"Okay," Kellian replied.
The girls continued to talk for hours before finally ending the call.
Tuesday.
Everything was the same except wherever Kellian went there were stares and whispers.
Lunch.
"Guys... Carly isn't here." Kellian was the first to notice the missing girl.
"Maybe she's at the bathroom?"Leo asked.
"Or you know," Ryder added.
"...I'm going to look for her." Kellian got up.
"Why bother?" Ryder asked.
"Because I'm worried about her," Kellian replied.
"But she's just doing her part. What's the point of disturbing the norm?" Ryder asked.
"Because I care about her! I have a heart and if society is against that... Screw society." Kellian said then left.
"..." Ryder was baffled but that soon turned to anger, "Easy for you to say. You don't have every person in that society looking up to you. Hmph." Ryder grumbled.
"Should we... follow her?" Leo asked, worried.
"No," Ryder responded firmly.
"I get that you're mad about the whole 'her having more freedom than you' thing but are you really okay with her getting hurt?" Leo asked.
"No one is dumb enough to hurt her." Ryder was still upset but he truly believed those words.
"Fine. I'll trust you for now." Leo chose to believe Ryder.
Kellian wandered around until she finally found her at the back of the school inside a she'd which seemed to be a storage room for sports items.
Carly was however not alone. There were about five guys in the room and no one noticed Kellian's entrance.
Carly was on the ground and one of the guys was pulling on her hair. She was also tied up with ropes.
"Well aren't you a proud Lil pup? Do you think you still deserve special treatment huh? You think you can still disrespect us!?" Guy 1 said pulling on Carly's hair.
"N-no. I did everything you said! I just can't do this!!" Carly yelled.
"And why not!? Do you still think you're too good for us?! Well, we're superior now so you have to please us how we want you to. You should be grateful we're granting you the honour of—" Guy 1 began to punch her.
"Excuse me. What exactly are you doing to my friend???" Kellian interrupted Guy 1.
"Kellian run!!!" Carly was worried they'd do something to Kellian.
"No." Kellian smiled as she put her hands on her hips.
"Oh, the Human wants to join in. What for you guys say do you wanna do it with her too?" Guy 1 asked as he tossed Carly aside.
"How lewd." Kellian frowned.
"You're lucky you're pretty." Guy 2 Scoffed.
"Lock the door." Guy 1 commanded.
Guy 2 was about to walk past Kellian to lock the door behind her when she grabbed him by his and flipped him over her shoulder. He landed on a shelf and had everything on it fall on him.
"You are bad guys right?" Kellian tilted her head.
"I guess you can say that. But you're under us and so you have to listen to us."
"Who said I was under you in this social hierarchy?" Kellian smirked.
"Ha. Laugh it up you may have been lucky just now but can you take on three wolves at once???" Guy 4 asked.
Kellian goes by her father's rules, "Never attack the weak unless they're bad guys. If you have to just knock them out as quickly and painlessly as possible. If they are scumbags- I mean bad guys you give them slow and painful torture. Okay, daughter?"
The leader, guy 1, just admitted to being a bad guy and he tried to hurt someone she loved which would make him a bad guy even if he said otherwise.
"Three...? Pathetic. These buffoons can barely compare to Carly alone." Kellian smirked.
"Pathetic... Like you can even beat one." Guy 1 insulted.
"Cocky Brat! Catch her." Guy 4 yelled.
Guy 4 attempted to punch Kellian but she caught it and gave him a punch of her own instead, "A punch for you." She punched him in the jaw causing him to immediately blackout.
Guy 3 who was charging at Kellian from behind to grab onto her was met with a kick to the chest, "A kick for you." Seeing guy 3 out of the corner of her eye Kellian jumped, spun around and finally landed a jump back kick. Guy three was sent to the ground in a flash, The impact from his head hitting the ground knocked him out.
"And for you good sir. A headbutt." Kellian smirked as she grabbed onto Guy 5's fists, compressed her head low then shot up into his face knocked him out.
"You were saying?" Kellian smiled as she wiped Guy 5's blood off her forehead.
"B-but how??? You're human! You can't be that strong!!!" Guy 1 was confused and scared.
"You guys are just weak," Kellian commented as she set Carly free.
'How did she just cut the rope? But she doesn't have claws...' Carly was confused.
"I... I..." Guy 1 feared what Kellian would do to him.
"You what? You wanted to be entertained, no? Let me entertain you." Kellian smiled devilishly.
"T-this isn't what she said would happen.
Sitting on top of him Kellian smirked, "I wonder how long you'll last."
"No one will believe you if you say I did this to you. So, I'm going to make you wish you were dead."
"Kellian..." Carly called out to her.
"You should go find the guys. Do me a favour and don't tell them where I am." Kellian smiled.
Carly was worried but listened to Kellian.
"Now. You hit her with your right hand, right? But you were grabbing her with your other hand... In that case, it doesn't matter. I'll just break all ten!" Kellian laughed like a maniac.
"W-what... Are you insane!?" Guy 1 yelled.
"Then stop me. You're just laying there." Kellian smirked.
"Do you think I'm an idiot??? You knocked out my friends so easily... I wouldn't dare fight back. Plus she'll kill me either way."
"Fool." Kellian felt weird but didn't know why.
"Let's start with this hand." Kellian grabbed his right hand and pulled his pinky out to the side until she heard a snap. Guy one was screaming and kicking in pain.
Kellian did not enjoy the sounds, "Hey. Dude. What's your name?"
He was too busy crying, screaming and squirming around to respond. Kellian gripped harder and continued to pull slowly.
"Ahhhh!!!!! Kyle!!!" He screamed.
"Kyle. Tell me... What did you mean by she?"
He didn't respond.
Kellian moved on to his ring finger.
"She told me not to say anything!!!"
And so Kellian broke his fingers to get him to answer her questions. Here's what she found out.
"What did she tell you to do?" Kellian questioned.
"She told me to hurt and do dirty things to Carly... She said you would come too and... I should do the same for you. I was supposed to invite all my friends but I thought that was too harsh."
"Why listen to her?" Kellian asked.
"Because she's of higher rank. She said she would protect me if I did it and she'd get rid of me if I didn't.
"... We're you actually going to do lewd things to Carly?" Kellian questioned.
"I had to. I'd die otherwise."
"She'd get into trouble if she did that," Kellian stated.
"Not if she lied and said I raped her. I'd be executed or become an Outcast Omega but she'd personally request my death."
"Why would the authorities listen to her?" Kellian asked.
"She would be the victim and with her power she'd convince them to kill me or even worse, to let her kill me herself."
"It was Amanda wasn't it?" Kellian inquired.
"W-what?"
"She's the only one who hates me enough to do this plus to be that influential she'd have to be an Alpha, right?"
"Yes..."
'I don't like torturing people. It reminds me of Kaila plus this guy doesn't seem that bad.' Kellian stood up and brushed herself off, "Sigh. Can you get up?" Kellian asked.
"Why do you care?" Kyle asked.
"I want to fight fair and square. I'm sorry for breaking all your fingers." Kellian wore a friendly smile.
"...What do I get from fighting you?" Kyle asked.
"Anything you want." Kellian smiled.
"You become my girlfriend if I win and I get a kiss from you if I lose," Kyle stated his terms.
"...What kind of terms are those?" Kellian was taken aback by his terms.
"I'm a dead man either way... Plus you're strong and pretty what's not to like." Kyle explained getting up.
"But..."
"Do you accept?" He asked.
"You won't fight me if I don't agree so... Fine." Kellian agreed.
Unable to use his hands, Kyle was forced to use kicks to attack. His first kick was aimed at her head. Kellian easily blocked him.
'It feels like I'm kicking an iron wall.... but how? She is definitely not weak like Amanda told me... In fact, she might be stronger than Amanda.'
Kellian didn't attack and only defended he kicked until his feet were bruised but Kellian blocked them all. She finally fought back and kicked him in the stomach which sent him flying. He hit his head on the wall and was knocked unconscious. Kellian did as promised and kissed him on the forehead.
She then left the storage room and tried to make her way back to where the guys were.
Meanwhile.
"I'm a witch, not God I'd need time to find the girl!" Jinx yelled at Ryder.
"She's wearing a magical item you crafted. You're telling me you don't have some way to track it?" Ryder asked getting impatient.
"I am. That was a gift I wouldn't dare use it to track her." Jinx laughed.
"She's at the shed at the back of the school," Carly admitted.
"What?" Ryder was upset. 'Why didn't she say that before?'
"She told me not to tell you. I broke that promise to tell you because I'm worried." Carly explained.
"Another flash?" Jinx commented.
"What are you talking about?" Ryder asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go on ahead." Jinx hopped on her broom and flew over to the shed.
Jinx found Kellian not far from the shed collapsed. 'She's fainted because she was exhausted. What about the shed?'
When she entered she found five injured boys.
'This guy has fractured ribs.'
'This one has a fractured skull and a broken nose.'
'This one a fractured his jaw.'
'This one has a dislocated arm and a couple of injuries from things falling on top of him.'
'He has... no major injuries? His ribs are cracked and his legs are bruised. He seems like he went through the most so why? It couldn't be!? Once more. I just need it to happen one more time. That's all I need to confirm—'
Ein saw Kellian's collapsed body and began running over but Ryder and the gang got to her first, 'Those idiots not only failed to hide the fact she is a human but also failed to protect her. I need to save her even faster than I planned to. Maybe 'She' can help.'
