HOPE

Chapter one

CHAPTER ONE *** This girl is pathetic. This girl looks almost dead on her feet. She has stringy brown hair, dark circles under her eyes. The ones that were once bright green with happiness and innocence now were dull and Dead. No longer caring what happened to her. if she lived died. she couldn't care less. Skinny but has enough meat on her bones so she doesn't look neglected even though she is. Bruises up and down her body every where. Everywhere except her face. This is not the girl they are going to remember or expect once I arrive. And yet this is who I am now. I'm not the happy five year old little girl with her teddybear running around playing with her mommy and daddy. No , that girl died mostly when she watched her mom be torn apart by rouges with demons in them and then even more when her older brother left her to fend for her self with their abusive father. The one person she thought she could always trust and he leaves with an "I'm sorry Issy, but this is what's best for me and my girlfriend. I'll come back for you one day" and here we are , eleven years later and not a word from him since. I held hope for him for the first few years, even though the beatings got worse and more frequent til eventually they became everyday and every night occurrences and leaving me on the brink of death more times then I could count. I still had faith that my big brother would come back to save me, he always did. But he never did . I've realize no one truly cares about you. And you know, I'm ok with that. I still hope one day ill meet my mate and hell want me no matter what, like its suppose to be. But honestly I don't even know if that'll happen anymore. It's suppose to be one of the perks of being a werewolf. Even though mates can reject each other it doesn't often happen. The last rejection was 50 or so years ago, although Ive read they're together and now have 6 or 7 kids and about 10 or so grandchildren , it was still a rejection. I was really fascinated with it. It turned out that since they worked their issues out the werewolf elders decided to not reveal the information on what they found out about rejections. If mates do decide to reject each other and don't get back together within a few weeks the rejectee starts slowly dying the more time goes on the fast it picks up. Seeing as how being rejected seems to never happen there was no reason to make this information known. "Honey, are you ready? You know how your uncle can get" no I don't. "Yeah, I'm coming." I sigh and look around the room one last time. Although so many terrible things happened in here I can't help but think how much I'm going to miss it. I grab my oversized sweatshirt that use to belong to the loving side of my father and slide it on to hid the bruises....'my god the mans dead, and I'm still trying to protect him'. I shake my head as I tie my shoes an gather the bags I decided were worth keeping from the house. Once I leave I'll never be back to the house, it's going to be sold and the money put into a trust fund I can't touch til I'm 19. I thinks it's a little ridiculous seeing as how in less than a year ill be 19 but its whatever i guess. I have one last year of school and then I'm gone. My aunt and uncle worked it out so that I could do it all online instead of having to do a public school with the rest of the pack. I'll start next week. Tomorrows my fathers funeral . The pack wanted him buried next to his mate so they took his body back to our hometown, it'll only take a few hours to get there so we should be there by 6pm tonight. I finally finish my descent down the stairs and wait for my aunt an uncle to come so we can leave. The house is empty now. Everything sold or put in the dump. I close the door as I hear the car horn beep an walk down the steps. I take one finally look at the home ill miss but never come back to and get in the car. I say a silent prayer that things are different once we reach where we're going and my pain is over but can't help but doubt it will. 'Well here goes nothing' I thought as we pulled away in complete silence to the new place I would now call home .
