He gave me a comforting smile. And I knew that this was the right time to tell him.

I sighed and started "I remember when I was about 5, I went to living with my aunt Helda. And it was the worst experience ever. She used to make me do all the dangerous chores, and she always came back home drunk and always shouted and beat me up.

Her husband, Hank on the contrary was really caring. He protected me from her. He always played with me and made me laugh. I loved him like a father. Unfortunately he died when I was 12. I was devastated and depressed. I knew that I could never survive without him. Who will take me away from my aunt? who will cheer me up when I'm having a bad day? who will give me hope? Who will encourage me to never give up?

All this was gone with a flash. You can't imagine how much pain I was going through accepting the fact that this person who provided me joy and happiness was now a distinct memory." Tears escaped my eyes. Then Salem tightened his arms around me which made me feel safe.

I took a deep breath and continued "Helda got married again after a month,his name was Alric and I thought that everything would be normal again. But I was wrong. He was just as bad as she was. He stayed with us five times a week.

I was always scared when I hear him enter the house, cause he bossed me around, and yelled at me for no reason. And I have a big mouth so I always sassed him, which ends up with him beating me up.

He once attempted to kill me, but I managed to run away.

Everyday I have trouble sleeping at night. And I cry my eyes out whenever I remember my sweet uncle, Hank

Till now I have trouble sleeping fearing that he might get me for disappearing from home, because once I tried running away, but he caught me and beat the crap out of me". I cringed when I remembered the hitting I had from him.

"Oh!" Salem said with a shocked face.

"You know? I've been keeping my past in me for so long and it just won't leave me alone. I don't know what to do. I don't know what is life anymore"

"Oh!" Salem said.

"Are you gunna keep saying 'oh'?" I smacked his chest lightly.

"I'm just shocked. I didn't know you went through all this. I'm so sorry, violet".

"I sometimes feel scared that everyone I know and love is gunna leave someday, and I'll be alone. That's my biggest fear".

"Violet, don't start thinking ahead. The present is a treasure and you can't waste it worrying about the future or regretting things in the past. What's gone is gone, you just have to let it go. And the future is a mystery. You know, you can't give up now after you've made it this far. It's just the beginning, this isn't the end" he said.

"You're right. Thank you. Oh god, you remind me of my uncle".

"That's cool. Now, cheer up and dry your damp eyes" Salem got up and hugged me "There's no way he'll get you, you're a wizard, remember?" He continued.

I hugged him as well, and I didn't want this hug to end "don't let go, just yet" I mumbled.

"I wasn't going to"

We broke apart after a couple of minuets, and I gazed into his beautiful ebony eyes, and he stared into mine. "Thanks" I said.

"For what?"

"For everything. Even for kidnapping me" I giggled.

I never imagined that I would talk to someone about these things, not even Tara.

After talking to him, I felt that we now have a special connection and we're now closer than ever.

I changed into some pjs and went to bed. Surprisingly it was night time, we spent all day out. But hopefully I won't have nightmares tonight.

A\N: well hollo there everyone! sorry if it's a short chapter.
