Different World, Same Blood

Chapter 2 Big, Bad Wolf

Nicole POV

I open my eyes and groan. Fucking school, fucking Monday. I swing my legs out of bed and stumble to the bathroom. I look into the broken mirror before washing up and walking downstairs. 

"Nicole!" my step father yells from the kitchen. I sigh and walk to him, seeing him already drunk looking at me with pure hate. "I need.....need more......Whiskey. Get me some after school." he mumbles. I roll my eyes and am about to leave when he grabs my wrist to the point of pain. "You dare roll your eyes at me again I'll pop them out of your fucking skull." 

"I didn't! Now leave me be." I say. He raises his fist and punches me square in my jaw. I fall to the wooden floorboards and  feel the tears stream down my cheeks.

"Go to school and get me some more Whiskey!" he yells before leaving. I pull myself up and head out the door. My jaw hurts like hell and I'm dizzy but I have to leave the house. Hell, I'd live in school than stay with him. I walk to school and through the front doors. Than I see Charlie, one of the kids I bully for money.

"Hey, Charlie! Come here for a minute." I say. He rushes over to me and looks down. "I assume you've got me some money, right?"

"Yes, I do." he hands me the money. 

"Good, get lost or I'll hang your ass on the flag pole again." I say. He turns and runs away. "Faster!" he like speeds off and I don't see him. I turn and walk to class, sitting down in the back. Than my teacher walks in and looks around but her eyes stop at me.

"Nicole, did you get into a fight again?" she asks. I nod and look back down. "Well, go to the nurses." I groan and stand up, leaving the room and walking to the nurses.

"Ahh...Nicole, nice to see you again." she says as I sit down. "What happened this time?"

"I got hit. Nothing special." I say looking down. She lifts my head and lightly touches the bruse making me flinch. "That hurts!"

"Really?! Hold still so I can see if there's any damage to your jaw." she hits me in the back of the head and holds me in place. She pushes the wound with abit of force making me wince. 

"Stop it! It hurts like hell!" I say. 

"Nicole! Do you want the rest of the day off to go back to your dad?!" she asks. She knows my father and also that he hits me but I begged, on my knees for her not to tell anybody. Now she's like my mother. "The bones chipped abit but thats nothing. Just put some ice on it and head to the library. I know you love to read." she's right, I love reading so I nod and leave for the library. I sit in one of the corners and open a book about the medieval times. About an hour later I feel a.....strange feeling. I stand up and inhale the scent around me. 

"Mine." a low, deep voice says. I turn and see a boy about an inch taller than me with dark brown, shoulder length hair and bright green eyes. He smiles showing his sharp canines, a wolf. "Your mine."

"Your's? What you mean 'your's'?" I ask backing away from him even though my heart wants me closer.

"Your a wolf little girl. Your mine." he says stepping forward. "Come here." my legs go forward as my mind goes back. "Closer little wolfy." I get so close he wraps his large arms around me and inhales my scent.

"Who are you?" I ask. He rests his head on mine and rubs my back. All very comforting.

"Attila. You?" he says. Attila, that name runs through my mind over and over again.

"Nicole." I say quietly. He pulls away and looks at the bruise on my cheek.

"This wasn't from a fight. Who did this to you?" he asks. I shake my head and back away. "Tell me."

"My father." I say. He growls and pulls me into his arms again.

"I'm here now." he says quietly. I feel so....happy with him. So accepted. "I'm your mate and I'll laways be here for you." I think I've found my first love?
