I own nothing just playing with the characters that Stephanie Meyer's made.
Walking inside the house I was greeted by Jacob.
"Well, well, well, looks like my new soon to be whore has returned. I think it's time I get a look at the goods" as he approached me with an evil grin on his face.
He reached his hand out to touch me and I smacked his hand away. His face got red and he swung his fist at my face and punched me. It hurt so bad I screamed and hit the floor. Tears were falling down my cheek. Jacob started to come up to me again.
"Jacob stop, I have to take her back in two weeks. You'll have to wait till she has no more appointments" Billy told him as he wheeled himself in.
"Just wait, you will be mine. You're lucky Cullen was appointed your doctor. Now get to work I want my supper and it better be good too. Nessie will take your place on giving Dad his bath" with that he left the room.
While cooking lasagna, I could see my reflection in the pot I was using. My cheek was starting to swell where Jacob hit me. In two weeks time though I hope it would be gone. As I was working, a slight tingling feeling seemed to have invaded my body. I just worked through it so I could go to bed since I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
When I entered the room I shared with the other girls, a new cot was put in the middle of it so that I had to crawl over the new cot to reach my bed. Lauren was already in bed. When I looked at her though she had a color around her, it was a dark muddled pink color mixed with a brownish orange color. Nessie came in next with a girl that was slightly taller than average with brown hair and brown eyes. It was unbelievable, she had a glow too only hers was different than Laurens; Nessie's glow was emerald green and orange around the edges. The new girl's color were different, her's was a deep red and had a greenish yellow center. I can't understand what all of the colors mean or where they came from. Why am I seeing them and have I finally gone crazy?
Nessie came over to me with a panicked look on her face.
"This is Angela we have to try to keep her safe tonight. She is a transfer from another home. She, she…. talked back to Jacob. I know she will be punished because Jacob is hot headed. Since she was a transfer, to him she is fair game and she just turned 21."
My face must have shown true horror on it because Angela became frightened.
"What do you mean punished? I did nothing wrong, just because I told him no does not mean he can do anything he wants. I have rights too you know" by the time she was done she was all but shouting.
Nessie tries to shush her scared that the Blacks will come in here. Lauren just sits up and smiles a knowing smile.
Around an hour later I hear this loud angry howl.
Nessie bolts up out and try to find a corner to hide.
Angela gets this confused but scared look on her on her tired face.
Suddenly the door is ripped off its hinges and a giant russet colored wolf is in the door way. It looks angry with big black eyes and sharp white teeth. Surrounding the wolf is the deepest color of black ever. The wolf looks around like it is looking for its next victim. It moves its head a few times back and forth until settling on Angela. Before she has a chance to scream the wolf is on her. Its paw slashes across her check and bites her arm a couple times. Then moves to go back through the door, before it leaves it turns to look at me as if saying I'm next.
I have never been so scared in my life; it makes me wish I was back home with my grandparents. At least there I know I was safe even with the restrictions and being ignored. My parents were never around since they are in the military and so it was my father's side that was left with taking care of me. Though right now I can't think of what I want have to tend to Angela. She is still on her bed bleeding and crying. I can't and don't even want to imagine what it would be like to go through that. Nessie is still in a corner crying and holding her arm as if she had been hurt.
I go over to Nessie first, "Nessie we have to help her where is the first aid kit or anything to clean her up? Nessie please you have to help me help her" I beg.
The whole time Nessie is sobbing "I knew it was going to happen, I knew it. It's all my fault, I should have tried to do something but I froze".
From that I knew she was going to be no help.
Carefully I tiptoed up to Angela; she was still shaking and bleeding from her traumatic ordeal. When I touched her good arm she jumped and just cried even harder. I had no idea what to do or how to help her. Lauren at that time decided to be a little useful and handed me a box full of bandages and peroxide. Then she went back to bed and turned her back to us. I could tell then and there we were going to get along so well.
"Angela, it's ok it's just me. I want to help you if you'll let me. You have to quiet down though."
The bottle of water helped clean her up a little. The slashes on her face were red, angry and bleeding. I bandaged them up the best I could; but truthfully they need to be stitched and I don't see that happening.
Now I knew how Nessie had gotten the scars on her face and what it meant to be marked. Angela let me have her arm and whimpered as I put the peroxide on it and bandaged her arm up. I don't think the girl will ever be the same again.
Over the next two weeks the work stayed exhausting, I had to try to avoid Jacob the best I could, and the wolf never showed back up though Jacob had the same coloring as the wolf. Angela's colors had changed in those two weeks to a muddy blue.
If only I could figure out what the colors mean and where they were coming from.
