Chapter 1

Hidup ini bukanlah sebuah dongeng. Hidup ini sukar dan menyakitkan. Gelap dan kosong. Mungkin bagi kebanyakan orang, hidup ini gembira dan sentiasa cerah, tetapi bukan untukku. Siapa aku? Namaku Rain, tiada nama keluarga, hanya Rain. Aku seorang ahli sihir yatim piatu dalam pekan serigala Sungai Biru. Aku selalu tertanya-tanya bagaimana rupa ibu bapaku, dan kenapa mereka tinggalkan aku dalam pekan serigala ini. Adakah mereka tidak menyayangiku, adakah aku satu kesilapan, adakah mereka masih hidup? Aku tidak akan tahu jawapan kepada banyak soalan yang aku ada, dan aku ragu aku mempunyai masa depan sama sekali.

Semua orang dalam pekan membenciku, kecuali sahabat baikku Jessica Tompson, seorang lagi yatim piatu. Ibu bapanya dibunuh dalam serangan oleh serigala liar ketika dia berumur 7 tahun. Dengan keluarganya semua mati, walaupun dia dilahirkan dalam pekan ini, dia menjadi yatim piatu seperti aku. Kecuali apabila dia mencecah umur 17 tahun, dia akan mendapat serigalanya dan tempatnya di rumah pekan, aku tidak seperti dia, akan menjadi hamba pekan. Aku tidak akan mendapat kuasa-kuasa aku sehingga bulan purnama selepas hari jadi aku yang ke-17, tidak ada sesiapa yang akan mengajarku cara menggunakannya.

Oh ya, hari jadi aku kononnya dalam tiga minggu lagi (pekan ini tidak tahu hari jadi sebenar aku jadi mereka hanya meneka), dan hari jadi Jessica seminggu setengah sebelum hari jadi aku. Mungkin sebab itulah kami sangat serasi. Pekan ini masih mengadakan pesta hari jadi untuknya dengan kek dan hadiah kerana dia masih ahli pekan ini. Walaupun mereka tidak mengadakan pesta untukku, dia selalu menyimpan beberapa hadiah yang dibalut untuk diberikan kepadaku dan dia juga membuatkan aku kek hari jadi kecil kerana aku tidak mendapat pesta kerana aku bukan ahli pekan ini.

Kadang-kadang aku berharap aku tidak pernah dilahirkan. Hidupku panjang dan sengsara. Tetapi Jessica sentiasa cuba membuatnya lebih baik. Kami menghabiskan kebanyakan malam kami di bilik kecil kami, di katil dua tingkat kami bercakap. Selalu tentang sesuatu yang berbeza. Jess kata ia supaya aku tidak bosan tetapi aku rasa ia kerana dia tidak suka mengulang dirinya. Tetapi Tuhan, dia suka bercakap dan aku suka mendengar.

"Rainie bug... Rainie... Rain!" Jess menjerit sambil menendang bahagian bawah katil tingkat atas untuk mengejutkanku.

"Aku bangun, aku bangun!" aku merungut, sambil menggosok mataku.

"Oh terima kasih Tuhan untuk satu lagi hari yang indah dan cerah," Jess tersenyum sambil melihat keluar tingkap. "Aku sangat teruja, tak percaya hanya dua minggu lagi dan aku akan mendapat serigalaku dan boleh mencium bau pasangan hidupku! Aku harap dia kacak."

"Jess, apa itu pasangan hidup?" aku bertanya sambil turun dari katil tingkat atas kami.

"Pasangan hidup adalah separuh lagi dirimu, pasangan jiwamu, orang yang sepatutnya menyayangi dan menghargaimu sepanjang hidupmu." Dia berkata dengan senyuman di wajahnya.

"Adakah aku akan mendapat pasangan hidup?" aku bertanya, memikirkan betapa indahnya bunyi itu.

"Aku tak pasti, aku tak tahu banyak tentang bagaimana semua itu berfungsi untuk ahli sihir." Dia berkata sambil kami berjalan melalui lorong.

"Oh ok," aku menjawab dengan lemah. Aku tahu ia terlalu baik untuk menjadi kenyataan bagiku.

"Jangan risau Rainie bug. Pasangan hidup atau tidak, kau akan sentiasa ada aku di sisimu." Dia berkata dengan senyuman.

"Aku sayang kau, Jess," aku berkata dengan senyuman kecilku sendiri sambil berjalan menuruni tangga rumah anak yatim dan berjalan ke dapur untuk mula memasak sarapan untuk anak-anak yatim yang lebih muda.

Selepas mereka semua makan, Jess dan aku pastikan mereka semua berpakaian dan mempunyai segala yang mereka perlukan sebelum Jess berjalan bersama mereka ke sekolah. Apabila semua orang sudah pergi, tiba masanya untuk aku memulakan pembersihan harian. Ada lapan bilik tidur, dapur, ruang tamu, dan dua bilik mandi untuk dibersihkan, kemudian aku beralih kepada dobi dan membuat katil sebelum memulakan makan malam untuk semua orang. Aku satu-satunya yang perlu membersih dan memasak sejak aku berumur lapan tahun. Cik Leana kata ia untuk mempersiapkan dan melatihku apabila aku mencecah umur 17 tahun dan menjadi hamba pekan dan mereka memindahkanku ke ruang bawah tanah rumah pekan.

"Hujan, saya dah balik dari sekolah," panggil Jess sambil dia berjalan naik tangga dan masuk ke salah satu bilik di mana saya berada. Ketika saya berpaling, dia dapat melihat panik di wajah saya dan dia sedar bahawa saya belum selesai membersihkan atau pun memulakan makan malam. Dan kami berdua tahu jika semuanya tidak siap dan sempurna apabila Cik Leana tiba untuk pemeriksaan mingguan dengan Alpha untuk menunjukkan betapa bersihnya dia menjaga segalanya, dia akan malu di depan Alpha dan saya akan kena sebat lagi.

"Oh tidak. Luka-luka dari sebatan yang lepas pun belum sembuh sepenuhnya." Dia berkata dengan panik sambil melompat ke tindakan, berlari untuk memulakan dobi dan makan malam sementara saya menyelesaikan dua bilik terakhir. Selepas kira-kira dua puluh minit lantai telah disapu dan dipel, mainan kanak-kanak dimasukkan ke dalam bakul mereka, katil-katil telah dikemas rapi, dan tingkap-tingkap telah dilap.

"Hanya tinggal tangga sahaja," saya berkata kepada diri sendiri. Saya cepat-cepat mengambil kain basah saya dan berlari keluar dari pintu bilik dan ke lorong. Apabila saya sampai ke anak tangga pertama dan mula mengelapnya, pintu depan terbuka. "Mampuslah aku," saya berbisik kepada diri sendiri, memastikan saya berkata cukup rendah supaya mereka tidak mendengarnya. Saya berjalan turun tangga dan membelok ke sudut, Cik Leana berjalan beberapa langkah di belakang Alpha sambil dia memeriksa rumah. Dia melihat saya bersembunyi di sudut dan jika pandangan boleh membunuh, saya pasti sudah mati.

Selepas sepuluh minit Alpha berjalan mengelilingi rumah melakukan pemeriksaan, dia mengucapkan tahniah kepada Cik Leana kerana menjaga kebersihan rumah, memberikan cek bonus, dan pergi. Sebaik sahaja dia pergi, saya tahu apa yang akan berlaku. Dia menarik rambut saya dan menyeret saya ke bawah ke bilik bawah tanah di mana dia menyimpan cambuknya. Dia merantai pergelangan tangan saya ke dinding dan merobek baju saya untuk mendedahkan belakang saya.

"Kamu perempuan tak guna. Aku beri pakaian dan makanan, tapi kamu memilih untuk memalukan aku di depan Alpha!" Dia menjerit sambil menghayunkan cambuk dengan kuat ke belakang saya yang telanjang.

"Tidak, Cik Leana, saya minta maaf. Itu kesilapan. Tolong maafkan saya." Saya merayu kepadanya dengan gigi yang terkatup. Berusaha sekuat hati untuk tidak menangis kerana saya tahu menangis hanya akan membuat keadaan lebih buruk bagi saya. Satu-satunya perkara yang dia benci lebih daripada dipermalukan di depan Alpha adalah anak yatim yang menangis... Dan juga saya.

Selepas beberapa sebatan lagi dari cambuknya, dia akhirnya berhenti. "Bersihkan diri dan siapkan makan malam. Anak-anak akan pulang dari sekolah tidak lama lagi dan mahu makan," dia berkata sebelum berjalan naik tangga dan keluar dari pintu depan untuk pergi membeli-belah dengan bonusnya yang bagus.

"Oh Dewi Rainie, kali ini lebih teruk dari yang lepas. Kenapa dia tak faham kamu bukan serigala, kamu mengambil masa yang lebih lama untuk sembuh." Jess menangis sambil berjalan turun tangga membuka rantai yang mengikat pergelangan tangan saya ke dinding dan menilai kerosakan yang dilakukan kepada belakang saya. "Diamlah supaya saya boleh bersihkan kamu."

"Tak ada masa Jess, saya kena siapkan makan malam sebelum anak-anak pulang dari sekolah," saya berkata cuba untuk bangun.

"Semuanya dah siap, sekarang diamlah seperti yang saya suruh supaya saya boleh bersihkan kamu." Dia berkata sambil mula mengelap belakang saya dengan lembut menggunakan kain basah yang hangat. "Kamu tak mahu anak-anak lihat kamu macam ni kan?"

"Kamu penyelamat, apa yang saya akan buat tanpa kamu bila kamu pergi?" saya berkata.

"Yes,"

"No,"
"No, what?"
