Mine

The Reasons

My name is Rain... my mother died when I was 9... ever since my father has beat me, starved me, and made me cater to his ever wish. I have no friends. I'm always covered in bruises. I have many scars from where he has cut me with broken beer bottles. He makes me feel useless like... like I'm not even worth the attention he gives me. I go to school and get perfect grades because if I don't I get more beatings...

I get up from bed at the same time as I always do. I hurry and dress in my usual too-big sweater and pants. I'm 5 foot 2 and 85 pounds of pure starving teenager. I hurry to make breakfast for Hue, my father. I fry his usual eggs and bacon. Then get my only thing I'm aloud to eat a day, one slice of bread. Sometimes I can steal food when he invites his friends over. I eat my bread and then make his plate, setting everything up perfectly. I then clean all the dishes as always. And make sure the house is spotless before walking into his room carefully and waking him.

"Sir, your breakfast is ready," I say as I shake his shoulder. He groans and sits up as I step away from the bed.

"Bitch, are your morning chores done?" He asks as he stretches.

"Yes sir," I reply meekly.

"Then off to school with you. I don't want your weak and worthless pitiful self here any longer than is necessary," he snaps as he slaps me across the face, "Now go!"

"Y-yes sir," I stutter as I run out the door a bruise already forming on my cheek.

I hurry to school and have a normal day untill as I'm walking to my last class... I hear growling.

I look up and see a large male.

"Mine..." he growls his eyes glowing as he stalks towards me. Terror overcomes me as I start shaking violently. He's so much bigger than me... 6'7" at the very least with broad shoulders and huge muscles.

He looks like a wild animal. He is still growling.

"Mine... Mine forever... nobody touches Mine," he says as he closes in on me. I start stumbling back into a corner and he is there blocking any exit. He is feral. I'm whimpering in fear as I bring my arms up to protect my face and curl up in a ball.

"Please don't hit me, please..." I sob and plead. I don't want to hurt anymore.

"I'll never hurt Mate, no one will ever hurt Mate," He says.

Mate? What is he talking about? I think to myself. It doesn't matter. He's gonna protect us. A voice in my head says. I feel oddly trusting of the voice and I feel the need to listen to it. So I peek up at him. He's bending down... and then he's lifting me into his arms. I'm shocked speechless as I feel completely safe. He carries me out of the school. And I pass out as the panic and trama catches up to my mind.
