Chapter 1
A vida não é um conto de fadas. A vida é difícil e dolorosa. É escura e vazia. Talvez para a maioria das pessoas, seja feliz e sempre ensolarada, mas esse não é o meu caso. Quem sou eu? Meu nome é Rain, sem sobrenome, apenas Rain. Sou uma bruxa órfã na alcateia de lobisomens do Rio Azul. Sempre me perguntei como eram meus pais e por que me abandonaram em uma alcateia de lobos. Será que eles simplesmente não me amavam, fui um erro, eles estão vivos? Nunca saberei as respostas para as muitas perguntas que tenho, e duvido que eu tenha algum futuro.
Todos na alcateia me odeiam, bem, todos menos minha melhor amiga Jessica Tompson, outra órfã. Os pais dela foram mortos em um ataque de desordeiros à alcateia quando ela tinha 7 anos. Com toda a família morta, mesmo tendo nascido na alcateia, ela se tornou órfã como eu. Exceto que, quando ela completar 17 anos, ela ganhará seu lobo e seu lugar na casa da alcateia. Eu, ao contrário dela, me tornarei uma escrava da alcateia. Nem sequer terei meus poderes até a próxima lua cheia após meu 17º aniversário, não que eu tenha alguém para me ensinar a usá-los.
Ah, sim, meu aniversário é supostamente daqui a três semanas (a alcateia não sabia meu aniversário real, então eles apenas adivinharam), e o aniversário de Jessica é uma semana e meia antes do meu. Talvez seja por isso que nos damos tão bem. A alcateia ainda faz uma festa de aniversário para ela com bolo e presentes, já que ela ainda é tecnicamente um membro. Mesmo que não façam uma festa para mim, ela sempre guarda alguns presentes embrulhados para me dar e até faz um pequeno bolo de aniversário, já que eu não tenho uma festa porque não sou parte da alcateia.
Às vezes, eu gostaria de nunca ter nascido. Minha vida tem sido longa e miserável. Mas Jessica está sempre tentando torná-la melhor. Passamos a maioria das nossas noites no nosso pequeno quarto, em nossos beliches, conversando. É sempre sobre algo diferente. Jess diz que é para eu não me entediar, mas acho que é só porque ela não gosta de se repetir. Mas, deusa, como ela adora falar e eu adoro ouvir.
"Rainie, Rainie... Rain!" Jess grita enquanto chuta a parte de baixo do beliche para me acordar.
"Estou acordada, estou acordada!" Eu resmungo, esfregando os olhos.
"Oh, graças à Deusa por mais um dia lindo e ensolarado" Jess sorri enquanto olha pela janela. "Estou tão animada, não posso acreditar que em apenas duas semanas eu vou ganhar meu lobo e poder sentir o cheiro do meu companheiro! Espero que ele seja bonito."
"Jess, o que é um companheiro?" Eu pergunto enquanto desço do beliche.
"Um companheiro é sua outra metade, sua alma gêmea, a pessoa que deve te amar e te valorizar pelo resto da sua vida." Ela diz com um sorriso no rosto.
"Eu vou ter um companheiro?" Eu pergunto pensando em como isso soa bom.
"Não tenho certeza, não sei muito sobre como essas coisas funcionam quando se trata de bruxas." Ela diz enquanto caminhamos pelo corredor.
"Ah, ok," eu respondi sem entusiasmo. Eu sabia que parecia bom demais para ser verdade para mim.
"Não se preocupe, Rainie. Com companheiro ou não, você sempre terá a mim ao seu lado." Ela diz com um sorriso.
"Eu te amo, Jess," eu digo com um pequeno sorriso enquanto desço as escadas do orfanato e caminho em direção à cozinha para começar a preparar o café da manhã para os órfãos mais novos.
Depois que todos comeram, Jess e eu nos certificamos de que todos estão vestidos e têm tudo o que precisam antes de Jess acompanhá-los até a escola. Quando todos se vão, é hora de começar minha limpeza diária. São oito quartos, a cozinha, a sala de estar e dois banheiros para limpar, depois passo para a lavanderia e arrumo as camas antes de começar o jantar para todos. Sou a única que tem que limpar e cozinhar desde os oito anos. A Sra. Leana diz que é para me preparar e me treinar para quando eu completar 17 anos e me tornar a escrava da alcateia e me mudarem para o porão da casa da alcateia.
"Rain, estou de volta da escola," Jess chama enquanto sobe as escadas e entra em um dos quartos onde estou. Quando me viro, ela pode ver o pânico no meu rosto e percebe que não terminei a limpeza nem comecei o jantar. E nós duas sabemos que, se tudo não estiver feito e perfeito quando a Sra. Leana chegar para sua inspeção semanal com o Alfa para mostrar como ela mantém tudo limpo, ela ficará envergonhada na frente do Alfa e eu serei chicoteada novamente.
"Oh não. Você nem está completamente curada das últimas chicotadas que levou." Ela diz em pânico enquanto começa a correr para iniciar a lavanderia e o jantar enquanto eu termino os últimos dois quartos. Depois de cerca de vinte minutos, os pisos estão varridos e esfregados, os brinquedos das crianças estão guardados em suas caixas, as camas estão bem feitas e as janelas foram limpas.
"A única coisa que falta são as escadas," digo para mim mesma. Rapidamente pego meu pano úmido e corro para fora da porta do quarto e pelo corredor. Quando chego ao primeiro degrau e começo a limpá-los, a porta da frente se abre. "Estou ferrada," sussurro para mim mesma, certificando-me de dizer baixo o suficiente para que eles não ouçam. Desço as escadas e viro a esquina, a Sra. Leana caminha alguns passos atrás do Alfa enquanto ele inspeciona a casa. Ela me vê escondida no canto e, se olhares pudessem matar, tenho certeza de que já estaria morta.
Depois de dez minutos do Alfa andando pela casa fazendo sua inspeção, ele parabeniza a Sra. Leana por manter tudo tão limpo, entrega-lhe um cheque de bônus e vai embora. Assim que ele se vai, eu sei o que esperar. Ela me agarra pelo cabelo e me arrasta até o porão onde guarda seus chicotes. Ela prende meus pulsos na parede e rasga minha camisa para expor minhas costas.
"Sua vadiazinha. Eu te visto e te alimento e ainda assim você escolhe me envergonhar na frente do meu Alfa!" Ela grita enquanto balança o chicote com força nas minhas costas nuas.
"Não, Sra. Leana, me desculpe. Foi um erro. Por favor, me perdoe." Eu imploro a ela com os dentes cerrados, tentando ao máximo não chorar porque sei que chorar só vai piorar para mim. A única coisa que ela odeia mais do que ser feita de boba na frente do Alfa é um órfão chorando... Bem, isso e eu.
Depois de mais algumas chicotadas, ela finalmente termina. "Limpe-se e prepare o jantar. As crianças vão chegar da escola em breve e querem comer," ela diz antes de subir as escadas e sair pela porta da frente para ir às compras com seu bom bônus.
"Oh Deusa, Rainie, desta vez está pior do que a última. Por que ela não entende que você não é um lobo, você demora muito mais para se curar." Jess chora enquanto desce as escadas, destrancando as correntes que prendem meus pulsos à parede e avaliando os danos nas minhas costas. "Fique parada para que eu possa te limpar."
"Não há tempo, Jess, eu tenho que preparar o jantar antes que as crianças cheguem da escola," digo tentando me levantar.
"Já está feito, agora fique parada como eu te disse para que eu possa te limpar." Ela diz enquanto começa a limpar minhas costas gentilmente com um pano úmido e quente. "Você não quer que as crianças te vejam assim, quer?"
"Você é uma salvadora, o que vou fazer sem você quando você for embora?" Eu digo.
