My Secret Past

Chapter 12

   Pathetic. That was what my father was. I've never been abused. Heck I've never been touched so harshly. But of course there is always a first time for everything. I am currently in my room with Blake. Everybody has tried to talk to me but I just stay monotone. Not moving. Not saying a word afraid that of I do I will say something the wrong way and be punished again. I used to not fear anything but fear itself but I guess that's different now. I've been asked, "what's your greatest fear?" I just look at them and say"Abuse".

    I had fallen asleep when someone knocked on my door. Blake say up and walked over to open it to see who it was. He opened the door to reveal my mother. I just sat there wide mouthed. Oh my god. That's actually my mother. Crap just got real. "Hello Harper" my mom greeted me. "Mother" I said unsure of how to talk to her. "Blake may I have a word with your mate?" Blake looked at me. I nodded telling him it was fine to leave me. He nodded and left the room. "We need to have a little chat" oh god.

    "So I'm guessing your father has sent you to the torture room already" I nodded my head. How did she know this? I just sat there looking at her waiting for her to speak again. "Mute. That's what he's made into everyone that he's sent down there. I've been down there too you know." She saw my shocked face and explained. "He's like that with everyone. He thinks he's all powerful and mighty. I would have transformed and ripped the torturers head off if I were you. Not everyone needs to submit to him. People need to show him that he's not the only one fighting this battle.

    "People won't talk to me. This is why i stay in my room the majority of my time. There is no use in going out of no one will speak to you. The war is so near you can see the fear in his eyes. It makes me happy really. Nobody ever made him feel fear till now." I now understood. My father is a coward hiding behind power. The war will destroy him and that means we can all live in peace and harmony in another castle. This makes me feel in leave like my path may almost be correct. Oh how I long for this day that will come.

     I looked at my mother tell me more. She smiled. " of course princess. We will live somewhere else after the war is over. Slip away while he is fighting. No one will find us. No will ever know where we are. No more violence. No more anything." I laughed. "He won't know what's coming" she smiled and nodded. "I will see you tomorrow" I nodded and layed down. I'll finally be free. From everything from everyone. Oh my god. ALEC.

   I need to warn him so he can come with us. I for got to mention he's also a werewolf. Dang it. Why didn't I think of it before. How could I for get about him. I ran to Blake and told him we needed to go to Alec's his eyes widened he'd forgotten to. I ran to the car and jumped in. God knows what they've done to him. But I stopped. They wouldn't keep him at his house. I jumped out of the car and ran to the dungeon. It was him. He was the guy I saw when I went down. That's why he looked familiar.

   When I came to his cell I gasped there he was beaten with ragged clothing and hardly any food. He looked awful. How could I let this happen to him. I feel like hell letting him be like this. I ran up to him. He looked up and saw me. A few tears slipped down my cheeks. "Hey babes." He smiled. "Hey Harper" I smiled and cupped his cheek. He has a mate and they beat him like this. "Come on big brother. I'm taking you home today"
