Alaska is beautiful. There is always snow, the mountains and forests, the wildlife. This is where i live, the place I call home, the place I wish i could escape.
I live here with my stepdad, Vince, in a small cabin away from any civilization. My stepdad is a werecat like my mother and I, he is a cougar. My real dad and my mom are both snow leopards like me. My mom married my stepdad when i was 7 after my dad died and she left me here with my stepdad when i was only 8, because Vince was and is abusive. I hate him.
I was mad at my mom for leaving me with him, but I don't blame her, I would have left too.

"Aspen!" Vince screeched, he does that a lot.
"Coming dad!" i yelled back. I hurried down the stairs to the kitchen and stopped in front of him.
"What is this?" he seethed through clenched teeth, as he pointed at spotless dishes. One of the glasses had a smudge i hadn't noticed while cleaning them.
"I-I'm sorry!" I stammered. He was going to beat me. I knew it. He gets angry over the smallest of things.
"Why can't uou do anything right!?" he screamed and came at me with fists raised. I cringed back against the wall and my shoulder was pressed againts the kitchen window. The cool glass was a comfort.
He pummelled me with his fists.
My cheek bone ached and my skin stung where he had hit me. My left eye was swelling shut. I was slammed against the window, I felt glass shatter beneath me and glass peirce through my now bloodied shirt. Darkness began to surround me, my fingers dug into the snow where I had fallen through the window. It was cold, lying in the snow, but i didn't care. Blood was seeping into the snow from the wounds in my back.
I saw him jump out the window, his boots crunching into the snow, coming closer and closer to me. I cringed as he stood over me.
"You whore!" he screeched, before kicking me on the side of my head, knocking me out. I fell into the darkness.
