I clear my mind as I enter the school, finishing my last day and I leave, I was invisible at school just the way I liked it so I had no heartfelt goodbyes to deal with so it was easy to walk away and not even look back

I limp towards the cafe, as I open the door and slip inside, Emma’s face falls, she grinds her teeth rushing over and taking my arm.

“Oh lilly what now?”

Her face scrunched up in worry, I wag her off, not wanting her to worry too much.

“It’s just my ribs”

I whisper, smiling at her. I was always honest with Emma because she could see straight through my shit so there was no point in lying to her.

She growls, shaking her head

“Fuck I’m going to kill that bastard one of these days”

I chuckle, Emma was the most loving kind person I know, for some reason the thought of her killing anyone was simply just hilarious.

She gasps,zeroing her eyes in at me

“You don’t think I could do it can you!”

She snaps, she flexes her arm

“Seriously look at these muscles, I could take the bastard!”

I laugh at her

“I’ll take your word for it”

she walks me to the office, helping me to the sofa. I really didn’t need to be fussed over but for some reason when Emma did it, it made me feel better. It’s how I imagine a big sister would treat me.

I looked around. This place was way more comfortable then my room, it was warm, comfortable and cosy.

I smiled at the walls full of pictures of Emma and her parents, the love on all their faces was strange to me, I don’t think I ever posed for a photo with my father.

I envied them and the love they all shared. Emma is 3 years older than me, she hasn’t found her mate yet so she spent her time working in her parents cafe, She baked the most amazing treats I’d ever tasted, people came from all over just to get her perfect cookies and cakes.

I close my eyes as she leaves the room. They were heavy with all the pain medication making me a little dopey as I relax getting comfortable.

I wake up a few hours later feeling a lot better, getting up I throw on an apron and head out the front

“what do you think your doing”

Emma shouts from the opposite side of the counter, I smile at her.

She was small like me but a whole lot prettier, although don’t let that fool you, she was an animal and could quickly take you down with a flick of her wrist.

Her hair was blonde and long, it hit the bottom of her back just like mine, she had some mascara on her bright blue eyes, making them wider, standing out on her face. They were definitely the most noticeable thing about her.

Her skin was so clear, completely poreless, she didn’t need any makeup because she was so beautiful just as she was. She had a beautiful curvy body and she wore the biggest smile on her face all the time, giving the allusion that she was a warm and kind person.

“I’m going to work”

She snorts at me, shaking her head and pointing to the door

“Ehh no your not, your going upstairs to my flat to rest and watch tv and when I finish here in 20 I am going to order us pizza”

I shake my head

“I can’t Emma I need the money”

If I ever wanted out of my fathers house I needed every Penny I could get, I had been saving for years and every little bit helps

“Iv already called in your cover. Your still getting paid so suck it up and do what your told”

I giggle as she scold me like I’m a bad child, fuck it, maybe a day off won’t kill me. I hold up my hands in surrender

“gez ok calm down I swear you need to be an alpha you're definitely scary enough”

she laughs at me, handing me the keys to her house. I take them gladly heading upstairs, I immediately plant my booty of the sofa, kicking off my shoes and turning N*****x on.

We had a fun girly night, watching chick flicks and eating pizza, by the time we crawl into bed my eyes close almost immediately. Sleeping in a bed was a rare treat so I take full advantage, stretching out and relaxing, my body moulding into the mattress as my mind shuts off.

——-

His beautiful face appears as I open my eyes, my heartrate accelerates at just the sight of him.

“Baby are you ok what did your father do?”

His forehead creasing, with worry on his face. I reach out touching his soft skin, his face relaxing under my touch.

“let’s not talk about him! Can we just be with each other?”

He smile, running his hands down my cheeks

“Of Course”

He whispers, laying down beside me, resting his arm over my waist as I take in every detail.

I’m not sure how long we lay there but suddenly I heard a faint noise and everything around me starts to fall away, disappearing.

I reach out to grab hold of him, my fingers falling through his Frame as his body is replaced with darkness.

the sound around me gets louder then it hits me as I recognise the sound. Emma’s voice pulling me back to reality.

————-

I snap my eyes open, immediately closing them as my eyes burn, smoke flooding my vision as I try to wipe it from my face, my surroundings coming back to me as Emma screams

“GET UP! GET UP LILLY! WAKE THE FUCK UP! FIRE! WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW LILLLLLLLLLY”

My body springs into action before my head has a second to focus, ignoring the pain as it splits up my side.

“Crap sorry!”

I squeak

“Finally ahh”

She snaps relieved, taking my hand she pulls us towards the door, but as she opens it, a thick cloud of smoke hits us.

I cough and wheeze trying to see through it but I couldn’t so I turn and grab a large towel and I throw it in the sink, soaking it Quickly.

“We walk together and you need to try not to breath.”
