Eric

I should be happy for Marcellus. Today was his and Zachariah's introduction, seeing as they're from two separate pack. But I couldn't help feel sad. Jesse still hasn't returned home.

He was really mad last week. He yelled at his parents for telling me about his sister and he left. He didn't come back home that night. Or any night after that. It's been so long. I often go to his house and sleep in his room. I missed him even though I didn't know him well. Christmas is two weeks away and I wanted him to come back for it. I love Christmas. It's the only holiday I felt safe and happy when I was with the studio. Most times I was bought to show off. They did do things to me, but it wasn't as bad as when I made a video.

I hate those videos. They make me feel sick when other pack members watched them and asked me things I didn't know how to answer. And some of them even asked me to do the special things to them. I didn't want to tell Marcellus because I didn't want to be a tattle tale. But yesterday one of the girls touched me down there and even though I said no she still squeezed IT hard and told me if I tell anybody she'd do it again.

One good thing though. I made a friend. Her name is Celene. She's twelve. She is helping me learn to read and write my name. And we watch a lot of cartoons that show me how to count and make words. I like the ones with the frogs. They're funny.

I told Celene about the girl who touched me down there last night. She said I should tell mommy and Marcellus but most especially Zachariah since the girl was from his pack.

I plan on doing that tomorrow. I don't want to spoil Marcellus' day. Although Zachariah's singing almost had me worried that the rain would fall. It was really bad.

I hung around with Jesse's parents when they came to the party. His mom who also told me to call her mom was really sad too since Jesse left. She thinks it's her fault for telling me. I remember when I first saw her.

I followed Jesse's scent the day after he ran off into the bushes straight to his house. When I rung the door bell, at first nobody came out. But then his mom opened the door and asked me who I was.

"J-Jesse's m-mate" I had stammered.

"Really? Well your mate is a murderer" she said and closed the door. I couldn't believe that. Jesse wouldn't kill anybody.

I rang the doorbell again and again until she opened the door and grabbed my shirt and pulled me inside. I got scared. She leaned in close to me.

"Jesse killed his sister. He was the cause of her death" she hissed.

"h-how did she d-die?" I asked because even though I didn't know Jesse all that good, I doubt he would kill his own sister.

"he poisoned her mind. He taught her to be nasty and abusive to others. He made her become vile" tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "she hated gay people just like Jesse did. And when she found out her mate was a girl too, she killed herself" the woman sobs.

I can't believe Jesse was like that. Is he like that still?

"do you think Jesse would kill himself because I am his mate?" I asked scared of her answer.

"I-I don't know" she whispers getting this bewildered look on her face. "oh Goddess! I would surely die if he does! I can't lose him too!"

"what is going on in here?" a voice booms behind me and I squeak in surprise as a man that looks an awful lot like Jesse comes and takes Jesse's mom in his arms.

"Oh Gerard! We're going to lose him too! He's going to do the same thing Jolene did!" she buried her head in the man's chest and sobbed.

"what on earth are you going on about woman?" the man named Gerard asked taking her by the shoulders and guiding her to the couch.

"Jesse! This is Jesse's mate" she points at me and Jesse's father' eyebrows raised straight up to his hair. "what if he does the same thing Jolene did!"

The man's eyes watered as he looks up the stairs. "With the way we've been treating him since Jolene died. Maybe?"

I wanted to cry. Would he really?

"what have we done Gerard? We alienated him from our family. We distanced ourselves from him. We-we" she hiccups.

"shh. Honey.. Jesse is doing fine. You know he works hard counselling them children at the station. And he does them awareness speeches and helps with pack things. He's changed a lot since Jolene died" Gerard says looking proud.

"he'll be alright Lil, he'll be alright" he rocks her back and forth "we need to let him know that we love him still" Gerard says and Lil gets up off the couch like a woman possessed.

She leaves me with the Jesse look a-like and I fidgeted because the man just watched me like I was some sort of interesting thing. We awkwardly got to know each other all the while Lil was in the kitchen like some kind of iron chef breakfast maker person.

I liked them. They were fun to be around. Even Jesse's dad had that look in his eyes when he looked at his wife, so definitely it was something wrong with the men in this town.

I was brought out of that nice memory when a hand covered my mouth and I was pulled into the bushes.

It was her, the girl that touched me. She dragged me into the forest, I tried pulling away but she was really strong. She growled at me loudly and placed her claws over my face.

"if you give me any trouble I will cut you up like string cheese" she growled dragging them down my face.

I nodded trying not to cry. She dragged me further and further into the forest. She pushed me against a tree and started tearing off my clothes with her claws.

I didn't know what to do. I cried when she kept yelling at me and ripping away my clothes. I don't want to do this! Help me! Somebody!
