The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

I can’t move.

(Anna)

Someone is taking me from the cage, I don’t think I can handle it again. I await the pain, but nothing happens. I feel a blanket being draped over me, it smells of Momma Beth and Fraction. I snuggle further into it, using the blanket as a shield from what is about to happen. It suddenly gets really cold, and I realise I can see the stars, the smell of blood is getting fainter with each step the person takes from the house. When I am laid down on a metal surface, I realise I know the smell of the person holding me, it’s Beta James. The pack came, I can’t believe they came.

When I become aware of my surroundings.. I realise I am holding onto a clump of black fur. It takes me longer than I care to admit to realise it’s Leo. His breathing is slow and shallow, almost like he’s asleep. I’m still on the metal slab but we seem to be moving. I can’t seem to care right now: I latch onto his fur with a tighter grip and snuggle deeper into the warm smelling goodness that is all Leo and Fraction..

I’m knitting. I have never knitted before but somehow there is a pile of black and white knitted material in front of me. I notice a beeping in the background, I look around and notice a heart monitor beeping away. It’s showing three heart beats, one is strong and beeping away happily, the other keeps stalling as if it can’t quite get going and the last one seems to have long gaps in between like it can’t decide if it wants to keep beeping or not.

The room is pale green, there are no windows and no doors, but I don’t feel trapped. The light above me has a fan attached and is doing a slow

rotation, it’s doing a vain attempt in cooling the room. I’m sitting in a rocking chair slowly moving back and forth as I knit my black and white bundle. Muddling the colours together to create a shape I can’t identify, if I blur my eyes, it looks almost grey.

I don’t know how long I sit in the room listening to the rhythmic beeping of the machine and the swoosh, swoosh, swoosh of the overhead fan. All I know is I need to finish this knitting, it’s really important that I finish..

As I run out of wool the room gets really hot, the walls start closing in on me. The heart monitor starts letting out one shrill monotone instead of three separate beats. I can’t catch my breath; I start to panic.

When I open my eyes the first thing. I see is the light with a fan attached to it. It’s the same one from my dream, the walls are the same colour pale green as well. I can hear people talking behind the curtain circling my bed.

“Honestly, I can’t explain it. You’re fully healed Alpha. I don’t know how but I’m glad you are.” Doctor Lee, I recognise his voice.

I want to be happy but it’s like I’m numb, I can’t feel anything. “I think Anna is in shock and that’s why she’s not moving or speaking. All we can do is wait; she will come back to us when she wants to. I
