The Queen of Stars

Chapter 14

I opened the door and creeped inside. The house was quiet except for the sound of the birds settling down to go to sleep and the shouts of the people on the street. I flop down of the couch utterly exhausted. 

Me and Lucia had gotten really close within hours of meeting and even though her brother Luke is a cocky dick, he's not actually that bad. It was nice that i had somebody to talk to other than my God father. 

"Where have you been?"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. I turn to face my God father. 

" Ive been in town." I reply calmly. My godfather was extremely protective of me. At this point he wanted me to leave the island ASAP. Something about it not being safe... its the same old stuff, the same crap my parents spin me. Im not buying it. 

"I know that. But you are home three hours prior to when i told you to be back." He growled, i just glared at him. 

" I met some friends and we went for Lunch." 

"Its 6pm." 

I just shrug my shoulders. " We also went bowling." 

All of which was true of course. Not that he belived me. He gave me a look which suggested that i was in trouble. 

" Look all we did was go to this cafe, it was really close to the castle and they had the most devine  food-" 

"You went near the castle?" He whispered cutting me off, he sounded angry. 

"Yes, whats wrong with that. Just the other day you wanted to take me there yourself-" I asked the fury boiling inside me was rising to the surface. 

" That was before your mother  told me to set rules." He hissed cutting me off yet again. " So thats what i'm going to do. Rule number one, no going anywhere near the castle. Rule two always and by that i mean always tell me where your going, when and how long you will be and stick to it. No coming home hours later than you told me. Rule number three I want to meet your new friends. Rule number four, nobody comes here without my permission and finally rule number five. Never ever go out into the woods at night." 

I have never ever seen this kind of fury in my God fathers eyes, he wasn't to be messed with. I gulped loudly then turned my back on him stalking towards my room. I was about to enter when i turned around. 

" May i ask what will happen if i break them?"  

He hesitates but does not answer. 

" Thats what i thought." I replied with a whisper and slammed the door shut. 

I got dressed calmly, cleaned my teeth then climbed into bed. It was only then did the tears start. I cried and cried and cried. 

I cried because my family wasnt here

I cried because i still wasnt free

I cried because my mate seemed to haunt me, even in my dreams 

and i cried because the world seemed to be against me. 

It was so unfair. I was sick and tired of people trying to control my life. I was tired of the contasnt abuse not just my mate abusing me physically but my family who were contricting and even though they had no idea they were constantly abusing me emotionally. I felt tired and drained. I felt pain in my heart. A hole. I felt it in the cool metal of the necklace that hung at my neck. I felt it in my thoughts, the constant pattern of pain swirling in my heal. I felt it in my feet, when they confined to an environment and all they really want is to be free. But most of all i did feel it in my heart. It was like a hole and i desperately needed someone or something to fill it.
