I force myself to open my eyes. Everything is blurry. I start to blink as my vision is clearing. I become shocked when I realize I am at my father's. I become confused as I am still dreaming how did I get here. My body begins to relax, grateful that I'm alone.I spend the time that I'm alone examining the room, trying to figure what is happening or what is about to happen. I am not sure why Zealand would allow me to come back here. But I know that the reasoning will not be beneficial to me anyway.I go into the bathroom, I look into the mirror, my face is clean from bruises and cuts. I am not sure how long I have been out, but knowing it's been long enough for my marks to disappear. My hair has even grown, I feel strong.I turned around to the shower and I turned the faucet on, feeling the warmth with my hand, loving the feeling. I go and turn on the shower and I watch as the steam fills up the bathroom. I then undress, I see the new scars that he created, but I try not to let it both
I don't know how to act, I'm so angry at this man, I hate him. I don't even want to look at his face. I look down into my lap, not looking him in the eye. I can't let myself feel anything, it only causes me sadness.I then feel a warmness underneath my chin, realizing it's him, my father's hand as he pushes my chin up for me to look him in the eye. I shut my eyes, not wanting to see him. “Stella, I know you're angry and hurt, but please let me explain.”I'm so confused, I don't know how to feel about any of this. I would like to be able to trust him, but I can't, he's no better than Zealand. I'm only going to be left disappointed. “Stella, open your eyes, so I can explain all of this.” I then feel him grab a hold of my face, squeezing my cheeks. I squint in pain, trying so hard not to react to him. I can't take it any longer, I then open my eyes just so I can scream in his face “you left all of this happen to me now you want to talk fuck you.” I then feel his hand slamming across my
I have been spending most days in my room. Miss. Davis told me that Zealand is coming to visit me. She isn't sure when but she knows he is coming now that I'm awake, he wants to speak to me. I don't want to see him, but I know that it doesn't matter what I want. I don't want to go back with him.I knew me being here was too good to be true, that it wouldn't last. I become nervous. I can't go back, I just can't. Tears begin to feel in my eyes, I then hear a knock at my door. I become terrified, my breath becomes heavy, I begin to panic, I look around the room trying to find a place I can hide.I begin to scramble, tripping over things in my room and falling to the floor. I then put my head up, looking around. I then scoot myself under the bed. Into Hiding, I slow my breathing trying not to make a sound. My body stiffens as I try not to move.I watch as the door opens. I close my eyes, not wanting to watch him become closer to me. I feel my body jump with every step he takes. Terrified
I allow myself to let all my frustration out. I take a deep breath over and over until I finally feel relaxed. I get up from the floor and walk into the bathroom. I turn on the faucet to the sink to let the water warm. Once it is warm, I wet my wash cloth. I wash my face, getting rid of all my tears. Getting ready to face whatever is next. I don't wait for Miss Davis to come back to my room. I unlock the door and head downstairs. I'm done being told what I'm going to do. It's time I say what I want. If I'm going to have any kind of happiness, I need to gain some kind of control.I see my father and I walk up to him. I'm not sure what I'm going to say, but I need to be stern. If I'm going to gain any control of my life. So, here I go I can do this, I take a deep breath" Styrell we have to talk.”“I'm not in the mood right now, Stella, It is going to have to wait.”“No it can't wait, I want to talk to you and I want to talk to you now.”I come close to him with a stern stance, showing
I hear a knock at my door, I don't want to answer it, not wanting to talk to Miss Davis. I try to ignore, but she won't stop knocking. I become irritated and decide to open my door, but when I see who is knocking my face begins to turn red. “Hello Stella, how are you this morning?”Oh, god it's him, I don't even know what to say I'm so surprised he is knocking at my door he is so sexy. That I'm lost for words, I'm like mute and I can't speak. So instead of talking, I wave like an idiot.He moves me aside and walks into my room. All I can think is oh my God, he is my room. All I see is mess. I become embarrassed, he's going to think I'm a hog for not cleaning my room. He then plops onto my bed, “Wow your bed is super comfy.”He begins to bounce on it and he looks at me and smiles, “and it's quiet no one will hear us.”“Wait what are you talking about, I'm not the type that will just have a sec with someone.”“Oh, so you are just the type that likes to play with herself in public.”Fu
It is so quiet, I'm not sure how to start the conversation. I want to say something, but when I finally find the words. They begin to bring the breakfast and words escape me. My God, it smells so good. I begin to eat what am I going to say I want to be strict but about what? I don't really want to go back to school. I don't even know why I said that. I know I need to stand my ground, but about what?I want to know about what is going to happen to me. Why am I here? Is he going to teach me anything? I've learned nothing so far, and I think it's about time that I learn something, even if it's just knowing my existence. Right before I go to open my mouth, Styrell speaks up. “Stella, I'm glad that you came down for breakfast willingly.”I look up at him not sure what to say back, so I just say “thank you”“So we finally have a chance to talk about things that are about to change. I have been getting things prepared for you. It's time for your training to start.”“My training, what train
I have been training for a week I suck . I'm trying so hard but I don't feel like I am improving at all. I have bruises all over my body. Asher does not take it easy on me at all. He gets so angry when I don't do what he expects of me. He thinks that I don't even try. All I have been doing is trying. I'm starting to think that I'm just not cut out to be any type of warrior. I have no idea how he expects that I will ever defeat Zealand. It's going to be nearly impossible for me to do. I am just not strong enough, I can't over power Asher in any way. So, I know I have no chance at all against Zealand. I don't want to be negative, I want to improve, but I just don't know how. I need to figure out how to do better, I just don't know. Asher wants me to accept my wolf, he says that it would be easier for me, but I tell him I won't become a monster. He gets so irritated with me when I refuse. Then he is even rougher than what he was to begin with. So, I have even more trouble. I need to fi
Now that I have finally done something right. I feel good. Not as worthless as I did yesterday. As I'm opening the door to my bedroom. A feeling overcomes me, a feeling that I'm not used to feeling. I'm unsure of what the feeling is. But it's something I could get used to feeling. It feels so good.I then realize the feeling is confidence. Shocked at how good it felt. Knowing I have never had any confidence in my life because I have never felt this good ever. This feeling isn't something I would forget. I then open my bedroom door so I can go and eat some breakfast. As I'm walking I realize I am walking with my head held up not looking to the floor but in front of me. Knowing I am strong and not afraid, ready for what The day will bring.Once I made it into the dining room. I see my father and Asher in conversation. Once they see me entering they stop their conversation and stand. I'm confused why would they stop what they're doing to praise me? Once I make it to my seat I sit in m
