This is a backstory for one of my oc's. This World has Powers and monsters, meaning there are people with powers and not. Example- Jane has the power of Telekinesis, Jeffrey is a Vampire, Ryan is a werewolf, Hank is a Wolf, Jennifer is a Girrafe, Rebecca has the power of Sing; her voice able to paralize victims on command temporarily, etc etc.
Santiago grew up in a.. abusive, household none the less, growing up with his many siblings and tribe, and living with many other kids and family's who unfortunately worked and lived there. It was okay, living and just... playing by the rules in an unfair household, everything changed when Santiago Met the love of his life. He knew he loved them from the start, subconsciously of course but his father did the unimaginable Later on, causing him to snap.
He was on the run from the law, though the law didn't know what he did, but he played it safe. He met a girl, (in later chapters) who would change his point of view... stay tuned.
It's not worth it anymore. The fighting, the hurt, the beatings. It was never going to be worth it. But for love...well love makes you stupid. And I loved him with all my heart.
I met the real man who would save me. Like how Bell was saved from Gaston. Except she lived the high life and didn't fear for her existence after her first encounter.
After my first encounter with Axel, and a dreamy one-night stand. The only option for me was to stay away from him and keep to Marcus.
But Marcus is destroying me.

"Don't you dare tell me how easy it is to leave and abusive relationship when you've never been in one, Axel!" Tears poured down my cheeks and all I wanted to do in that moment was crawl into the same hole I should never have crawled out from and die.
"And I was heartbroken, and scared and anxious. I was worried and I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes and took a blind leap. I found you, Cordilia and I'll be dammed if I let that asshole take you away from me."
