Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / Wolf Blood: Prologue
“We don’t need her,” a voice boomed. “The child is useless, even for a girl she is no use for this family. Men are supposed to be in charge here, and I cant expect her to do anything if something were to happen to me.” By the deep tone of his voice it was apparent this was the girls father, for no one else would speak such words about the daughter in front of this group leader. He was aloud to speak how he wished in front of his colleagues in hopes to find a suitable answer to his so called problems, such problems dealing with the girl that shared his bloodline.
“You can’t expect us to send our men to eliminate a teenager, that is ridiculous. Even if our boss demands it, this is a stupid request to ask of us.” Another man of the group protested, sighing heavily.
“Yes I can, if you wish to keep your life then you will.” He snapped, “My daughters life means nothing to me, now that her mother has left us months ago.” Shifting behind his desk, the chair squealing as he rose to his feet. “Send anyone you want, I don’t care. Just get rid of this putrid waste of flesh from my damn sight!”
Without much else argument, the men all agreed to their boss’ demands. In the hallway, a lithe form hid in the corner shrouded by a heavy leaved fake plant, having listened to the whole thing from start to finish. Lips turned to a snarl, she knew how much he hated her but why would he go all out to get his men to send lackeys after her in broad daylight and nightfall? She couldn’t believe it, but knew she was on her own for this now.
Her trust for men failed the first time he had hit her, something she’d never quite forget for the rest of her life. The man ruined her life, not only faking to favor her while her mother was around or with her presence in the same room, but how he’d take his anger out on her. She still had the bruises to show for it, and couldn’t even begin to comprehend when he’d decide to invade her chambers yet again. Clenching her teeth, and closing her eyes tight she took a deep breath.
Slipping from her place in the corner as the group of men started to talk about other business, and silently rounded the corner of the hall. Even for someone with her attitude, she had to wear the most annoying outfits at this age because it was ‘required’ by her fathers law she couldn’t wear anything but dresses. The pure black silk dress with a single cut straight up to her right knee, while her blood red hair sank over her shoulders with a cold icy blue stare that demanded respect as long as she could remember. It was like she had to be dressed like this at all times as if a party were to be starting sometime soon, but she’d rid of it when she was ditching school or the house.
Leaving the sanctity of the hallway, she went into her chambers to think up some sort of plan to pull through what news she caught from the beast’s mouth this morning. Normally, she would never eavesdrop but to have a meeting like that so early in the morning seemed uncoincidental, especially if they thought she was still asleep this hour. Relaxing her broad shoulders she leaned against the posts of her bed, and removed the ridiculous heels she was forced to wear just to sigh in relief at the cold marble flooring beneath her bare feet. Groaning lightly as she sat down on the edge of her dark colored sheets, and leaned her well formed body back resting her weight upon her lithe arms.
The girl’s room was cool and airy this morning, nothing could possibly ruin her relaxed composure among all else. Just thinking to herself what she could do now, even if it all seemed to escape her feeble and unsettling mind. But she knew one thing, her father… that nasty, corrupt, filthy bastard… deserved to die a horrible death. She wasn’t afraid of what would await her, for the Kobayashi were bred to lead and fight, there was no time to await the worst without acting first in the most quick rapid way.
“I wont be like great grandmother,” she mumbled. “I’ll do what all the other women are afraid of doing, times change and rules will change, I’ll make that clear to father.” She growled softly to herself, as she slowly sat up to arch her right leg on the edge of the bed leaning against it as her dark red hair fell over her arm and knee. “Even if I have to shed blood to get that respect.” No expression on that angelic face, and cold blue hues closed momentarily for a small rest.
A knock on her door gained her attention, “Sakura… you have a visitor.”

You are off to a god start with your story. I had my doubts about reading this, because of the title. I assumed it was a typical vampire/werewolf story. I was pleasantly surprised with the strong beginning. You have good ideas and the story line will work, The problem is you leave out words or misuse them. I suspect you ran spell check and let it handle all the mistakes it found, which if you do not proof read will change the meaning of your words. You have captured my attention with minimal work you should have a decent opener.
