Will I Survive This One?

My eyes fluttered open. I winced from the pain as I tried to move. Not even sure where I was, or what was going on. The last thing that I remembered was Mr Owen tying me to the table and whipping my back. What an asshole. How could everyone just sit there and watch? F**king Angus. He was going to pay for everything that he has done to me.

“Sophia, try not to move too much, alright. You were whipped so badly that the whip broke through your skin to your bones. But you have started to heal ok, quicker than you normally would. So I think you will be ok.” Miss Cindy says to me.

“Thank you, Miss Cindy, for always looking out for me. I think I would have died if it was not for you. Who brought me here? If I am allowed to ask.” I ask her. She looked like she wasn’t sure if she was allowed to say anything. So I didn’t ask her anything further. Not sure what else to do, I go to move off the table that I was on, but my back itched and the pain was bad enough that I didn’t want to move that badly. Miss Cindy applied something wet and cooling to my back, as she was wiping it on my back it became numb.

“That should help Sophia. Now I think you should try to have a shower to wash all the dry blood off.” She suggests to me.

“Miss Cindy, do I need to go back to school today?” I ask her. I really didn’t want to. How the hell could I face all those cowards today, or maybe it would make me look stronger if I went? Not that I gave a shit what anyone thought of me here. If I started to care now, then my plan would not work.

“I am sorry, but I have been told that the Alpha expects you to return to school after lunch.” She says informing me. Well, looks like I had to go back. If I didn’t, then surely I would get a beating tonight and I don’t know if I could take that. There was no way that I was going to die at the hands of these assholes.

“Miss Cindy, can you please thank whoever it was that got me away from Mr Owen.” I say to her, as I make my way off the table. She gives me a polite smile and walks away. Well, I guess time to have a shower and get ready to go back. I guess at least I wouldn’t fall behind in my class. Tomorrow, I think if Adeline was at work, then I would have to ask her if she found out anything about my parent’s death. This was always playing on my mind. There wasn’t a day that passed that I didn’t think of them. When I find out who killed them, trust me, I don’t believe the bullsh*t story that they fed me. I will get revenge on all of them. Thinking about all this took my mind off the pain of having a shower, going to my room to get dressed. I was down to only a few pieces of clothing now. If anything else happened, I wouldn’t have anymore clothes. Well, I guess it's time to get back to school.

Sitting in the cafeteria's corner, where I know the kids won't touch me, I was sitting down still in pain from the whipping, when I hear the doors slam open and everyone fall silent. Oh no, he was here, and he was here for me. I just knew it.

“Sophia, get your f**king ass here now, girl.” I hear his voice ring through the cafeteria. My body started to shake. This was going to be bad. He was going to kill me this time. I get up knowing it will be worse the longer I waited. Suddenly, a hand is around my neck, dragging me along the ground. There was no point fighting, so I just allowed Angus to drag me to the middle of the room. He threw me on the ground in front of his dad. I needed to leave my head right now.

"You are an ungrateful piece of sh*t that brings nothing but bad luck to this pack. When you turn eighteen, you will be kicked out of this pack." Alpha Cyrus roared so that the entire school heard. That was when the first blow came. I screamed out in pain. He picked me up by the throat, throwing me across the room. I landed on my back. I could feel all the wounds on my back open up again.

"Bring her here now, Angus."

Angus walked towards me. The look on his face was sad. Why the hell was he looking at me like? He leant down, putting his mouth to my ear.

"Please forgive me Sophia, for what I am about to do." He whispered so that only I was able to hear him. His words confused me, then I realised what was about to happen. I was going to die. I welcomed death. The first blow to my chest cracked a rib. I couldn't even bring myself to scream. He dragged me to the middle of the room. There was blow after blow. I was numb. There was no pain anymore. I was about to die. I could feel the pull of death. My eyes were forced shut. I was sure every bone in my body was broken.

"Sophia, please forgive me. It's all my dad he made me do it. If I didn't do it, then he would kill my mom." I heard Angus's voice in my head. Why did he keep saying that? I hated him. I couldn't fight the darkness anymore.

“Sophia, focus on my voice.” I heard a voice say in my head.

“Sophia, focus. You will survive this, but I can’t heal you that fast yet. We can not let them know.” I heard the voice again. I was falling into the darkness. I was screaming out in pain. The pain was too much. I couldn’t take it much longer. The blows just kept coming. It wasn’t stopping. Then I heard a final snap, and the darkness took me.
