The Tormented Soul

Aleera's POV

After Darius had left my room I decided to lay down for a bit. But I couldn't get comfortable so I got up and walked into my walk-in-closet to take a look around it for something to wear. I finally decided on a pair of white sweatpants and a black tank top. When I was done in the closet I walked out and my eyes looked at the bathroom door. I have been a prisoner in my own home for so many years without the opportunity to have a shower. I looked back at the door to the room and because i was alone it would not be that scary and no one could do anything to me. So I decided to have a shower. I walked into the bathroom and I locked the door, just in case.

I stripped my PJs off and got in the shower. The hot water ran down my body helping to wash away my irritation and helping to relax my muscles. I was in the shower for at least thirty minutes. When I felt I was done I turned off the water and stepped out. I dried myself off with my towel and sat down on the toilet to get dressed. Celia and Cassie had talked to me about going to get special training with them in two weeks or so because I have never trained before. She also wanted to see how my muscles would handle it and if they would come back to normal strength. Celia had talked to Darius about it also. I did look forward to it but at the same time I didn't.

When I was back in my room I could see the sun was shining in through the glass door into my room. It has been so long since I have been outside. I have lived in a room with no windows and this was my opportunity to go outside. I really wanted to go outside to feel the sun rays on my skin. I walked towards my door and opened it and started walking down the hallway to the stairs to the first floor. Once on the first floor I heard voices in a room close to the staircase and I knew that I would not go over there, I was not ready to meet anyone from his pack that I have not already met. So I walked in the other direction and I ended up at the back exit.

When I had exited the house I ended up in the backyard. In the backyard was a huge sitting lounge with light brown wood chairs and benches. There were flowers in the ground and in flowerpots. When I looked up I saw outdoor string lights hanging from the closest trees and a wooden privacy screen but it was not on during the day, it was so magnificent. The forest was just a few feet away so I started to walk towards it

I walked around the backyard for a bit then moved to the outskirts of the forest for a while before I decided to leave for a bit and be alone to think in peace, something I had not experienced in a long time.

I took a breath in and then started to walk into the forest. I decided to walk instead of run, I wanted to enjoy the view. While I was walking around the forest looking at everything and admiring everything my eyes could see it felt like someone was watching me but I ignored it.
