Just Accept Me

Ch. 14 Snapping

KATHERINE'S POV

     I was seething. Brittany thinks that I ruined her life? She and my 'mother' have oppressed me for almost as long as I can remember!

     Brittany has been pushing my buttons all of my life and now she pushed the wrong one, so she payed the price. Stupid girl.  She lets greed and wrath control her and that will inevitably be her doom.  I growled in anger again and felt my eyes change color and my fangs grow. My inner self was coming forth. My dark self that should not and cannot be seen. I need to calm down.

*knock knock*

     Poop! Oh no. No, no, no, no, no! He cannot see me like this. Um. The faucet! I ran to the leaky faucet in my 'bathroom' and splashed cool water on my face. Looking up in the dingy mirror, I watched as my eyes flashed red to its original color, a greenish blue, to a bright yellow color, as if they couldn't choose what to be.

As soon as my eyes finally settled on their original color, Xander burst through the door to my tiny room, breaking it off of its hinges. I whipped around and looked at him with eyes filled with terror. I knew my mate would never want me. I'm a freak of nature.

"Katherine..." He whispered my name softly I shivered at the way it rolled off of his lips. I backed up into the wall slowly as he came closer, pressing my back against it.

"I won't hurt you... I won't leave you. You're okay now, angel," He said softly, walking towards me. Lies. They're all lies. I will never be okay.

"Lies." I whispered my eyes getting larger, my chest tightening. All my life has been full of lies and I don't need him, my mate, telling me more.

"No. No, kitten. They aren't lies. I'm telling the truth." He pleaded me with his eyes.

I shook as he stood dangerously close. "No, no, no! You're lying! Just like everyone else!" I sobbed out, shaking my head furiously.

He cupped my cheek with his hand, forcing me to keep my head still while he placed the other arm on the wall beside me. "Kitten..." He caressed my face with a gentle touch. "I want you to trust me. Seeing you so upset is killing me."

"Y-you're n-not going t-to r-r-re-reject me?" I stammered, my lip quivering as my eyes gathered tears.

His eyes widened. "No! Of course I wouldn't. Why would I want to? Who wouldn't want a beautiful, strong, intelligent, and brave girl? Why would you think that?" Xander worried.

"M-my whole l-life, I've been rejected. And-and I don't know why!" I cried hysterically. "I'm a reject... I-I am not good enough to be your mate. I c-can't be a Luna!" I began muttering to myself while sliding down the wall.

Xander knelt down in front of me. "Katherine. Katherine! Look at me!"

I looked down at my bruised hands, dried blood on them. Brittany's blood. My eyes widened. "I-I'm s-sorry! I d-didn't mean to!" I started trying to rub off the dried blood and markings on my hands. 'They're not coming off!'

I started crying hysterically. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't want to h-hurt her... I was just so angry!" my breaths came out in shallow pants, my body shaking violently. "She wanted to take you... Y-you would have left me..."

"Katherine!" I flinched at his volume. "Angel, look at me," he spoke gently. "It's okay. You're okay. I won't reject you, I won't leave you, and I will never  let anyone hurt you, you hear me?"

He gathered me in his arms, holding me tightly, as if I would vanish into thin air if he were to let go. "You're stuck with me, whether you like it or not," was the last thing I heard him say before the world around me faded and I fell into oblivion.
