Never thought it Could Happen

Early years

Max and the others were so glad to be away from the School. Especially Max, Fang, and, Iggy; the oldest of the group. However, all that happiness changed one night for max. She walked into her room ready for bed and saw Jeb there waiting. Happy she thought that they were going to talk or he would read to her again. But no not his time this time it was different and max will never forget the night it started.

Max P.O.V. until stated differently.

I walked into my room, not thinking about anything important just about what we might do tomorrow, like go flying or something fun, when I saw Jeb. I have loved Jeb like a father, even wishing he was my father, ever since he took us from the School. When I saw him, I was happy; I thought that maybe he wanted to talk or something that is, until I saw his face.

It was contorted with so much rage, I figured that I did something wrong or that Iggy did something and I was being blamed. But no, it even wasn't that, not even close. He thought that I should be preparing the others better and with that he swung at me, hitting me for the first time but definitely not the last.

I never thought that this would happen to me, but then look at my life it's been nothing but horror so why not add this in. He told me that if I fought back then I would watch as one by one my flock got taken back to the School. When he left I collapsed onto my bed in pain and cried. I vowed that I would never make Jeb that mad again. Well let me tell you that lasted a full two days and that's it.

They next day when I woke up I was a colorful mess, as in bruises of every color. The first one to notice was Fang because he came to wake me up. When he asked what happened I remembered Jeb saying that if I told anyone that we would go back to the School before anyone could so much as blink. So I lied and told him that I fell down the stairs last night. Fang knew I was lieing but oddly didn't press.

The one thing he did notice was that max pushed them a lot harder during training that day, even little Angel. It went on like this for almost a year but Max got better at hiding her bruises and Jeb stopped coming up with excuses to beat her and just did it. The oddest and probably the worst thing of all about this whole thing is that Max didn't fight back not even once. Even though Jeb took his threat back and told Max that she could fight back to see if she could ever win one of the fights. She was even promised that if she beat him just once then he would stop, but not once did Max lift a figure to defend herself. Fang always noticed when Max would wince when Angel jumped in her lap or when she would walk just a little too stiffly in the morning. He constantly asked her about it for a good three months but she would always deny that anything was wrong or that he was over reacting. But one thing that he did notice was that Jeb head would always snap up like a Jack-in-the-box when he mentioned it around him and that Max would always quickly look at Jeb before answering. Sometimes she would look at him then look back so quickly that he almost missed it but he never did.

After one particular beating I was in so much pain that I could barley make it to my room. I did but with the help of Fang, he even helped me to bed. He noticed me in the hall as he was coming out of his room. I hadn't cleaned up yet so I was a mess, all bloody and my bruises were actually showing. (I had learned the art of makeup) When he asked what happened I told him that I had crashed landed after falling. He seemed to accept that, but was concerned about my wings and wouldn't let it go until I had shown him them.

That was definitely something I did not want to do because as a new way of pain, Jeb had taken to ripping out some of my feathers in clumps. It left my once beautiful wings looking like a five years doing a patchwork quilt. When Fang saw them he nearly flipped his lid. That is until I told him I had hit a tree in my landing which what had caused me to crash.

As he got up to leave he said that he was going to get Jeb so that he could have a look and fix me up. But I told him no, I didn't need it and that I was fine and only needed rest. But deep down I was hoping beyond hope that he would see through this act and see that I was in pain and had been for months. But he didn't he just shrugged and as he left told me to rest up.

Not over yet people still have about one more chapter to post then it should be done hope you like it it's actually 963 words not my longest but not my shortest either. The next chap. will be longer. Hope you like it more tomorrow or later on to night.
