Urge To Escape

Chapter 6: My Lips Are Sealed

Have you ever felt like your whole entire life suddenly makes sense and the minute you begin to understand it, things go wrong? My mother seemed so heartbroken I couldn't understand why. I wanted to ask her why she had not told me all these years, why she let us stay with that revolting man, I wanted to know where my real father was, his name and why he hadn't come to save me. But something inside me told me she needed her space and it was quite clear she was not ready to answer any of my questions. I was heading to Kelsey's house at least I knew we were going to be safe for the night because , I'm sure Richard wouldn't want to cause a scene in front of other pack members, but that didnt mean he wouldn't come for us and we had to make a plan fast. As soon as we got to her house Aunt Jess came running to the car. She knew. I could see it in her panicked expression. I was the first one she hugged getting out of the car and for a reason unknown, I felt so comfortable running my tears down her shoulder. "It's okay now sweetheart, ssh you're safe now." We were standing like that for 10 minutes before I could get myself together. It felt so good that someone cared for me either than my mother someone else knew the secret that had been so hard to carry on my shoulders all these years, and it felt so good not to have to pretend. I pulled back as she kissed my forehead. "Thank you so much Aunt Jess, my mother needs you more than I do, she's heart shattered and seems very confused, please tell her Richard is not good for her and I'll find Kelsey." I whispered unable to speak properly. "Aurora my darling don't worry, and honey you will not lose Kelsey if you tell her I know you're scared, but you shouldn't have to go through this alone." I nodded tears filling my eyes. I couldn't have been more grateful to her and her family for being my other family too. I went inside the house wiping my tears before putting on a smile and making my way to Kelseys room. Walking up the stairs I was anxious not knowing how Kels would react. "Wowa! !" Nick came running towards me tackling me in a hug. I giggled at the little boys enthusiasm, he was always so sweet. I had a thing for younger children, their innocence was always fascinating. "How are you big boy?" I asked him tickling him. He started laughing and his laugh was the cutest ever. "Ha-I'm-ha-goo-good hahaha." I put him down bending to his size. "I'll see you later okay?" I kissed his nose. "Wowa you owe me a bed time stowi. " I smiled at him pinky promising him one as I made my way to Kels stair case. Her room was honestly unique, I loved it so much. It was so cozy and honestly the most different compared to the whole house. It was perfect. "Kels?" I walked into her room and she was still in her bathroom. "I'll be out in a minute!" She said. I sat down on one of her comfortable chairs, crossing my legs like a ninja. I was so nervous. It was almost hard to breathe. The door opened and Kels smiled so happy to see me she gave me a tight squeeze. She was in her short pajamas and her curls non-existent as her hair was wet. "Hey sweety! I'm so excited you're here...ohmygoodness what happened to you? You look like you've been running away from the cops...geez girl what happened." I wouldn't be surprised if she had said worse. "And don't tell me you're just tired," She said giving m a warning look "because that has been your biggest excuse these days." I sighed not knowing where to start. "Can I take a shower first?" It was the best way for me to think. "Sure sweet stuff...but don't think you're getting out of this one Aurora I honestly want to help you and you're not helping by saying you're tired all the time, I can see it when you're lying." I forced a smile onto my face. But I couldn't keep it up. I took a towel and took off my shirt. I heard Kelsey gasp. And then I realised what I did and immediately put a towel over myself. "Aurora sit down right now, omg what happened to you? " Tears were already falling down her cheeks. "No-nothing" my voice came out a tremble. I didn't want to get Richard into trouble. Even though I hated his being I couldn't take him away from his pack, it was the one thing he ever loved and even though this love wasn't reflected towards us, it was once upon a time and it was that memory of him that made me love him still and hope still he'd get better, but the reality was he never would."Aurora, tell me, I'm your sister I'll always be here for you no matter what, remember we promised each other that after making that first wish on our 5th birthday...I meant it then I mean it now." It was Richard." I said. Her eyes went so wide. "You mean your father?" I breathed again trying not to cry. "He is not my father either." "What?" "Yeah Kels, ever since he found out I wasn't his daughter, he'd physicality and emotionally abuse me, and my mother. He forced us to pretend like we were a big happy perfect family, until we got behind his locked doors. He'd beat us up Kels, he'd tell me I deserved no love, and that I was an ugly whore who could only satisfy him. He's been kicking and breaking and throwing us around the house." The tears in my eyes were an open tap, I couldn't stop telling her anymore. "How long has this been going on for Rora? " "10 years..and I can't take it anymore Kels, I hate his soul, he told me I don't deserve a mate and two weeks ago he started drugging my mother to sleep so he ..s-so he could c-come satisfy his needs..he'd tell me to open my legs and he'd forcefully plunge his tounge inside me, telling me I tasted so sweet and I was so disgusted..h-he'd leave love bites inbetween my thighs and he'd force me to suck his disgusting cock. .and if I chose not to listen to him he'd threaten to kill my mother..Kelsey I know I'm this disgusting person now and my mother does not know he's gone that far, but I was trying to protect her, I have been since I was eight and I don't know by what miracle but I thank the stars that he didn't put his cock inside me...I hate him Kelsey I hate him." I was so angry tears were blinding my vision. Kelsey was also crying. I could feel her disgust and anger too. She just pulled me in for a hug. And I hugged her tight. "I'm sorry Kelsey, I just didn't want to lose you, you were the one person in my life who remained consistent with your love, always telling me I was beautiful and always there to lift my spirits. Your friendship is a blessing from the moon goddess and I was scared to lose that. I'm so sorry Kels I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"Aurora I love you and you know I'll always be here for you, the only reason we aren't sisters is because the gods didn't think our parents would be able to handle us as sisters, but we're sisters at heart and that's all that matters because you are not alone, I'm here and plus you still have a mate who's waiting for you." She smiled wiping my tears. "Pfft..a mate..what a joke." We both laughed at the idea. "Thank you Kelsey, I love you." "Enough sulk time, we are going to the mall tomorrow to make you feel all better." Way to ruin a moment Kels. That's our Kelsey. Snow agreed. "No more tears for that freak, we are going to show him we''re stronger." She said as I stood up. "We sure are.Oh and I broke a nail today, so we have to go get them done too." I told her walking into the bathroom. "Yay! I'm excited."
"Oh and Kels?" "Yes?" "Please don't mention the drugging to my mother or what happened when she was drugged." Kelsey looked hesitant, but she finally spoke, "My lips are sealed."
