Amara's POV
I look at my small black alarm clock. 8:00!
"Shit", I say as I grab my old shirt and start to head downstairs when a conversation stopped me
"I will pay you back", my brother said
"Yes you will. Right now", a deep voice said
"I don't have it", he sighed
"Well looks like we run into a problem", the man said
"What if I trade", my brother asks
"What do you have in mind", the man asks
"AMARA", he yells
I freeze. I limp downstairs after I grab my sweatshirt to hide my arms.
They see me coming down the stairs
"Come here", Amara", my brother says in a sweet fake voice
I stand by him
"Her. She can cook and clean, she could be like your maid. She's really good", he says
"You are willing to sell you sister instead of getting money", the man asked
My brother nodded, "She worth like 10 grand", he says
"OK", the man said
I looked in shock at my brother
"Go pack a bag", my brother said and slapped me on the back
I winced as he laughed. I limped back up the stairs and got my old duffel bag.
I threw my brush, shampoo, soap. towel, my 3 sweatshirts that I got from a soup kitchen. My 2 pair of pants. My tooth paste. My other bra and my 4 pairs of underwear. I look around and grab my stuffed bunny, Jenny. I open her Velcro back and saw my blade. I shut her back up and put her in my bag. I zipped the bag and put my old shoes on and limped downstairs. I looked at my brother hoping he would change his mind but he didn't.
"Bye sister", he says
"Bye brother', I say
He gave me a hug while I pulled the only money he had which was $50 from his back pocket

I left with the man. I get in the front of his black 4 door Chevy truck and I stay quiet. He turned some music on and he didn't talk.
I took in his features. He had black hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a sport coat and some blue jeans. His jawline was clenched which gave off the sign he was mad.
After 40 minutes he finally talked
"We are almost there", he said sternly
I nodded
"What's you name again", he asked
"A-Amara", I stuttered
"I like it", he said
"We're here", he said and put the truck in park and shut it off.
He got out and so did I with my bag.
"Follow me", he said and I did as told
I followed him into the mansion. It was HUGE, glass doors and hardwood floors. We walked in the entry way. There was a gigantic stair case that went upstairs on to the right as there was a TV room to the right. We went up and went to far right and stopped at double doors. We entered
"Sit", he commanded
I sat
He went on the phone behind his big maple desk.
"Kat", he said
Just then there was this girl who popped her head in the door. She had black curly hair and blue eyes
"Amara, this is Kat. My daughter", he says
"Hi", she smiled and came in
"Kat, show her to her room", he said
"Cool. Come on", she said
I followed her to the other end of the hallway. We went in the last door to the left.
"This is your room, across from mine", she smiled
I just stared at the room. It had Baby blue walls and tan carpet. There was a TV on the wall and A queen size bed with Navy blue sheets.
"You like", she asked

I nod
"Do you talk", she asked
"Yea", I smile and put my duffel bag on my bed.
"Great", she smiled and she looked in my duffel bag.
"You have like no clothes", she gasped
I shrug
"Follow me", she said and grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my room
She pulled me in her room and gave me a black V-neck with some skinny jeans with some white shoes.
"Put them on", she said and turned around
I quickly put them on. She turned around and combed through my hair and let if flow down. We then left her room
"Where are we going", I asked as she let go of my hand
"Shopping", she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world
"I only have $50", I said
"Your not paying. I am", she smiled and started walking away
We were half way to the stairs when someone walked out of their room.
"Hey Kai ", Kat chirped
He looked up and I died. He had black straight hair that he ran his hands through to make it wavy and green eyes that were covered by black glasses
He looked at me and we froze. He was about to say something but Kat pulled me downstairs
Kai's POV
I was walking out of my room. Kat said something to make me look up but I tune her out some of the time. I looked to the girl next to her and we both froze. She had Brown hair with the deepest blue eyes and it complemented her tan skin.
Kat pulled her away. I watched her go down the stairs. I ran to my dad's office
"Dad, who is that girl", I said as I slammed the door
"Hello to you too son", he said and took his reading glasses off.
"Dad", I groan
"What girl", he asked
"The brown hair girl with the blue eyes. She's new, who is she", I say
"Oh. Her name is Amara Harper, why", he smiled
I just stare at him. He stood up
"She's your mate, isn't she", he said
I give him the 'duh' look
"Don't tell her", he says
"Why not. She belongs with me", I say
"She was rogue. She doesn't know what a mate is", he sighed and sat down
"So", I ask
He gives me a wink and pretty soon mom comes in.
"Good grief", I mentally groan
"Honey, what would you do if you didn't know what a mate was. Then some stranger comes up to you and says that they're you mate", my dad says to my mom
"I'd be creeped out", she says and turns to me
I sigh
"She's a wolf though right", I ask
He nods
"Then she knows what a mate is", I say
"Not necessarily", my mom says
"What am I suppose to do. Avoid her", I ask
"Yes", my parents say at the same time
"Why", I ask
"Because she's barely going to talk to Kat and she's the easiest one to talk to", my mom says
"Let her get used to people. She never left her house. Ever. When she came here she was on the verge to fainting because of the house. She was afraid to touch anything as if it would break. Or she would break", dad sighed
"Can I talk to her", I ask
"You may not talk to her , touch her, go in her room, be by here, or flirt with her, or tell her about you guys being mates", my mom says
"But", I start
"If she talks to you first, then you may talk to her", my dad says as if reading me
"My wolf will not be able to deal with this", I say and get up
"Well to bad. She is terrified of me and I'm a nice guy", he says
"You're an Alpha, your suppose to be mean", I say
"Wrong again. We are suppose to be nice and caring toward our pack", he says
"Fine", I growl and leave
This isn't fair, My wolf mumbles

8 124The Cage
Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind. They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth. For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath. This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably end really badly. *Cover art taken from internet source of free-use, uncopyrighted photos and images.

As such I expect that it will need a lot of polish to get it to its final form, but for now I hope to keep up with NaNoWriMo and get something on the page. Until then I welcome comments and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading.
