OSUPA

'NO! Alpha, I can not do that! This is MY duty!' I link to him. 'Your duty is to obey your Alpha instead of questioning his order!' He answers through his Link and then he uses his Alpha voice and commands me to evacuate so that there is no more open discussion over this. No matter how much training I received as a Priestess, this is something I cannot go against. If you are not an Alpha yourself it is impossible to get out of the alpha command, you just obey. End of discussion. 5:57 a.m. I clear the mountain that is now covered in lava that keeps clawing itself towards the shore on all sides of the island, I get to the airport I'm rushed by my brother to get on the last plane, I link to my father to see where he is, I can't find him. I asked my brother what has happened while I was away. "Not even the strongest Warrior can fight against the mountain, most Warriors are helping people Evacuate the island, I haven't heard from father in 15 minutes give or take!" "What about Mami and the rest? The Luna, Yadiel, Bruno? And where the hell is Yaya?!" I am panicking at this moment. "I don't know about the Luna but I know Yadiel is with the Alpha!" Aymaco, one of my other brothers tells me. The pilot tells us we're about to take off, the cabin is full, we don't know who is safe and where the other people are. "Where are we going? Did the Alpha get in contact with any allies?" At this point my voice is breaking... I can already feel the Alpha command gone, that can only mean that Alpha Gúarionex is dead, I try to link to Yadiel, my milk brother... I can't reach him either. I start feeling the pain of the pack join my own and tears spilling out of my eyes while I look out the window and look at our Island go up in flames... It's 6:34 by the time I catch my last glimpse of home. I become very tired all of the sudden, another tear falls from my chin and falls on my sizzling mark on my forearm evaporating immediately and I fall asleep allowing the darkness to engulf me in it's comforting seclusion making me forget what a worthless, useless priestess I was to my pack. __________________________________________ Loiza Mirabal is a Priestess of the Moon Goddess and member of The Osupa Pack of Karaya Island in the heart of The Caribbean.
