I walked through the empty town, the rain was picking up, it started coming down harder, but I kept walking, letting the rain fall. Entering a park, I sit on a bench, little bombs of water hitting me. I let out a sigh, rubbing my eyes ad I let my head sink and fall into my hands. If I joined the pack, I would have protection. I could learn and grow. Be with others like myself. Have a real family.
On the other hand, how could I just leave Faith. As strong as she was, this would break or damage her. How could it not? She would be alone in the world. No family to return too, no home. How could she survive on her own. And to just leave her? I knew her since we were kids, and no matter the kind of trouble we got into... We always got into it together. "Some birthday," I groan, not wanting to be in this position.
"You know, most people use an umbrella when in the rain," said a womans voice. I look up with an eyebrow raised to see a girl from the pack. She was the first a saw, the one that lead me into this predicament. "Yea, well, I'm not like most people," I say bitterly, looking away. "No, your not," she said sitting beside me. The sound of the constant rain hitting the umbrella was some how soothing. "Even to us. There's something... Different about you."
"Look, I don't need this right now," I tell her as stand up, turning my back to her. She huffs, then mumbles something, which I don't pay attention too. I move te wet hair from my eyes before I head back to the truck. I would just have to tell Faith what my choice was. I stuff my hands in my pockets and my head slumps down. How would I tell her? What will I say?
