How it started

Trusting again

Soffia's Pov

I'm scared, it's been a week since i've gotten back and all I can do is hide in my corner in my room. I only let Alice and Jasper near me and I can tell it hurts the others but i'm too scared to fully care, I just want Alice and Jasper cause they're safe, they're my mates I know they'll protect me.

I curl into myself holding my arms around my knees tightly as the flashes of what happened come back to me, I whimper as I hold my bunny close to me. "Hey little bunny" I hear Rosalie say as she opens the door to my bedroom, I look up hesitantly as I stay in the corner.

"Do you wanna go hunt with Mama and I?" she asked as she looks down sadly at me but not making it any closer as I whimper. "Nuh" I say my voice raspy from the lack of using it, "You need to hunt bunny" she says, "Nuh!" I shout as her eyes widen before nodding with a sigh and leaving the room.

I sink deeper into the wall clinging my stuffed bunny closer as the tears fall down my face, "hey baby, Aunt Rosie says you're upset, can you tell me what's wrong?" mama ask as she comes in and shuts my door, "mama" I cry out making my way into her arms as she holds me protectively.

"what's wrong my sweet girl, I miss you, we all miss you" she says softly. "scared" I mumble against her skin as I nuzzle my face into her neck. "I know baby, but there's nothing to be scared of, remember Riley and Victoria are gone they can't hurt you again" mama explains rubbing my back.

I let out a sigh before pulling away from Alice, "he hurt me" I say looking doing at my hands, "How baby?" she asked, "h-he he held me down" I start to say as Alice gasp, "what? he did what?" She ask I can hear the anger in her voice that makes me whimper, "i'm sorry baby I shouldn't raise my voice keep telling me" she says.

"he held me down, with so much force and kissed me and t-trailed his hand down before Victoria stopped him" I say sobbing into her chest as she holds me tightly, I hear her growl as her hold on me tightens. "Alice calm down" I hear Jasper say as he enters the room, "daddy" I cry out as he takes ahold of me holding me in his arms as he looks mama in her eyes.

"They are gone now, they can't hurt her anymore" Jasper says anger held in his voice as he speaks, "They hurt our girl Jasper, she was terrified and forced down by him" she explains as she looks down at me all the anger disappears as I tremble in fear. "I'm sorry baby I'll do better to control my anger please don't be scared" mama says setting her hand on my back.

I nod as I lean into daddy, clinging to his shirt, "wanna hunt with daddy and I atleast baby?" mama ask, I shake my head before I hear her sigh and leave the room, "why don't you want to hunt bubbles?" daddy ask looking down at me, "scared" I say as I play with my stuffed bunny's arms "scared of what my love" he ask moving me slightly so i'm looking at him.

"he took me when I was hunting, don't wanna go away from you and mama again" I say softly, "baby that's not gonna happen your feeding now so your stronger then you were and mama and I will be with you" he explains putting his hands on my cheeks making me look at him.

I look back into his eyes and see the comfort and safety, "Bubbles, you don't have to be scared I know you might feel that way for now or for awhile but all of us will protect you" daddy explains, I nod finding a comfort in his voice as he speaks reaching for him again. He pulls me back into his chest as I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eyes, "just relax bubbles" he says softly.

"Here" mama says coming back into the room with a sippy, I smile softly before grabbing it and start suckling down the blood "thank chu mama" I say behind the sippy as she pushes my hair behind my ear. I giggle as the hair tickles me and she smiles before kissing my head.

I finish my blood after a while and stay cuddle into daddy, he runs his hand through my hair occasionally before going back to rubbing my back. Him and mama have been talking, I haven't really been paying enough attention to know what about though. I just love listening to them talking and knowing they are still here with me.

"How about today we try going out of your room together sweet girl?" Mama asked as i'm leaning into daddy, "We want you be comfortable again baby, we know it will take time so we go at your pace" she explains, I think for a moment before nodding slowly as I stand off daddy's lap clinging to his hand.

We slowly make it out of the room and I stay behind daddy, no one seems to be out in the kitchen and living room area as we make it the couch and sit down. "Good girl" Mama says making me smile at the praise as I look up at her, "thank you for listening" she says kissing my head as I hear voices enter the house.

I tense and quickly make my way into daddy's lap and he wraps his arms around me, "it's okay bubbles, it's just Rosalie and Emmett" he whispers in my ear, I nod keeping my eyes closed at I cling to him. "Hi guys, how was the outing?" Mama ask, "It's okay, how's everything here been?" Rosalie ask as I slowly peak my head out to look at her.

My eyes make there way to her face as she sends a comforting smile my way, I look down "s-sorry for yelling at you earlier Aunt Rosie" I manage to get out my voice quiet "No you don't have to apologize little bunny, I shouldn't have pushed you i'm sorry" she says taking a step towards me.

I hesitantly get off daddy's lap letting myself be free of my fears and taking a step into Aunt Rosie arms, I feel her tighten her grip around me instantly as she sighs "I've missed you my little bunny" she whispers her hold tightens "missed you too, lots" I mumble against her shoulder.

"Let's sit for a while?" she ask leading us to the couch Mama and daddy are sitting at, "How you feeling now little bunny?" she ask facing me "still scared but better having daddy and mama around" I say truthfully sending a small smile towards them. "It's my favorite shorty" Emmett says emerging from downstairs.

I jump hearing his voice and cling to mama and hide my face "baby it's just Uncle Emmett he won't hurt you remember?" she ask lifting my face up gently to look at her, I look towards him slowly seeing his dopey little smile as he stands furthest away from the couches which I appreciate.

"h-hi emmy bear" I say softly feeling slightly proud of myself for speaking to him first "hi little Sof, I've missed my little partner in crime" he says "i've missed you too, sorry i've been distant" I say my voice still very soft but I know they can hear me "how about some gaming and catching up?" he asks wiggling his eyebrow.

My smile become slightly bigger as I look toward the tv then up at mama it's been a long time since I was able to play with Uncle Emmy "pwease" I ask softly looking between her and the tv, she chuckles before nodding as Aunt Rosalie hands my the controller, I watch as Uncle Emmy sits on the further couch away from us grabbing his own controller as he starts the game.

"How'd you get so good little sof!" Uncle Emmy shouts making me giggle before I realize the sound of his voice doesn't make me feel scared anymore but comforted and safe, I can finally feel myself becoming relaxed again as I sink into mamas hold and play the game.

This chapter is shorter because I wasn't really sure how to go with it but I have ideas for the next few chapters so they'll be longer hopefully!
