Chapter 48
London,I was finally here and it was amazing. I have never felt so free and satisfied. A whole year had passed with so much drama and fights but finally I had gained the courage to move away from it all.I was gazing at the large office buildings and malls while the taxi driver drove me to my new apartment. My mother had it all planned out before I could even protest,my plan was to not involve anyone in my quest for a new beginning but my mother rebuked me from excluding her in my life. She won the argument by bringing up how lonely she was especially after losing my dad.
I breathed in deep "you can do this Prisca,you can do this."I reassured myself. We arrived at my apartment complex,it was really nice, nothing fancy just simple and neat. I entered the brown building and the owner of the property showed me to my apartment. Her name was Mrs Rosa Lewis Adelaide. A short red headed middle aged woman,she wasn't bad at all just a little bit talkative and she was also Spanish.
"So just make sure you pay the rent on time or just make a payment plan. You no make noise for neighbors! Neighbors get very annoyed most times and they complain. You no bring pets in building,me no like pets in building at all. You call if you have problem,I am no very busy most times."she said quickly with a very strong Spanish accent,I didn't even get half of the things she said.
I smiled "okay,thank you."
She returned the smile, "have nice day !"she said walking out after handing me my keys.
I laughed out loud and squealed in excitement. I had my own home now!I jumped around like a crazy chicken for a few seconds before breathing out loud and walking around the house.The kitchen was a really tiny room in a corner.I didn't mind though,I was the only one staying here and I definitely didn't need a huge kitchen.
The whole house was fully furnished,the lounge was a normal size,not big but definitely not small either. My bathroom had a separate toilet right next to it. Then there was the master bedroom,it was really surprisingly big with a king sized bed next to the window. The thing that made me really happy was the fact that it had a walk in closet!The guest bedroom was extremely small which was disappointing really,I even felt a bit claustrophobic in there. It had a single small bed and a closet,boring.
I went back to my favorite room,my bedroom!I threw myself on my bed and sighed,so this is what freedom tasted like-fresh glory. I slept for a few hours before going to unpack all my things.After packing everything I sat down with my laptop and began searching for a job online.

3 Days later
"Prisca please pack those tissues on their shelves before customers start flooding in." my manager Stacy said with a soft voice. She was a very reserved blond headed beauty,she was in her early 40's though but she looked way younger. One thing I loved about her the most was her really white blond her ,it was unique and made her ice crystal blue eyes pop out more.
I sighed "okay,no problem."I said walking towards the boxes. I had gotten a job as a cashier at a small grocery store in the middle of town. It was a decent job but I hated times like this when I had to pack or unpack boxes,it's not that somebody else couldn't do it,it's just that I was the only one who prioritized coming to work on time. In turn Stacy loved asking for favors and shit,I couldn't really say no to my manager.I was half werewolf but for the past three days I have been feeling so human, extremely tired and moody.
I started packing tissues and placing them on the shelf when my work mate and new friend Fatima walked in. She was a cute twenty three year old Indian girl ,she looked like a damn model with thick black long hair and grey eyes. She had the perfect slim body too,I felt a bit jealous especially now that I was apparently gaining weight.
"Hey babes!"she greeted me whilst wearing her blue apron before assisting me.
I smiled "hi Fatima,how are you?"
"Awesome...is it me or is somebody getting a little bigger..."she said eyeing me weirdly.
I smacked her arm "how rude!I am not fat...am I ?"I asked in horror.
She rubbed her arm,"ouch that actually hurt woman! I was just saying okay,maybe you should lay off that junk food you are so obsessed with."
I rolled my eyes,as If I would ever betray pizza,onion rings,zinger wings and beef burgers! "Oh no ways ,forget it."
She laughed "don't say I didn't warn you."
"Yeah whatever,"
"Okay, so my cousin has this party thing going on tonight. You are so coming with me as my date." She said with a wink,Fatima was lesbian. I found out the first day I started working here,she had asked me out instantly and I instantly made it clear to her that I didn't swing that way.Since then we became really good friends.
I groaned "Do I have to come!"
"Yes you have to come. I won't take a no from you again so I'm picking you up at seven."
"Fine,whatever."I said walking back to the counter as a customer walked in.
Work was a pain in the ass,today was worse because I felt so drained as if I hadn't slept in like a century. Stacy insisted I see a doctor after she saw me puking in the toilet. I refused though,I told her it was probably the three burgers I ate for lunch. However she did give me an early day off work,that was a good thing.
I took public transportation back home,I was used to that now.I got home thirty five minutes later around 6pm. I took a shower and began preparing for the stupid party. I tried wearing blue skinny jeans but they wouldn't zip up at all. I groaned, "I thought werewolves weren't supposed to get fat!" I screamed out loud before pulling them off and falling on my ass.
After a fifteen minutes I finally found the perfect dress. A black sleeveless mini dress,it flared out at the waist and reached my mid thighs. The bodice was flattered with sparkly blue glitters. I matched the dress with navy blue wedges,I always made it a point to wear shoes I could actually walk in. I curled my black hair and puffed it out until I was satisfied.
It was already seven o'clock but as usual Fatima was never on time so I made myself a big bowl of hot two minute noodles. I had a weird strong craving for them. I finished the whole bowl in less than ten minutes before my doorbell rang.
