Chapter 7: Winter Break

Lucy's POV

We are on the train heading back to London for winter break. All my friends are heading back home for winter break. I was looking out of the foggy glass window as the others talked about their plans for their break. I just wanted to be with Jack's pack and be able to run in the woods in my wolf form. Since I can't run around at school, I just want to strip out of my closes and run in the woods.

Since I found out the truth about my family, I felt so empty and depressed. I know my friends are trying to make me feel better. We are so young, and they don't know how to help, and I don't know how to feel better. I have all these emotions running through me and I don't know what I should do. I hope Jack is at the house when I get to the station. I need to call him too see if he can pick me up, since I didn't know what time, the train would get there.

The boys helped me with my trunk, and I bid them farewell and headed out. Jack and a few of the others was there waiting for me. I managed a smile when I saw them. When I looked at Jack and ran to him and through myself into his body. Jack put his arms around me, and I felt him freeze as I took in his scent. "You lost a lot of weight." Jack said with worry. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "Nat get Lucy's stuff and take it to the house. I'm going to take Lucy home now." Jack said as he lead me to his car.

I sat in the front seat and Jack didn't say anything to me for a while. He just kept looking at me worried. "You hungry Lucy?" Jack said with a small smile. I had my head resting against the glass looking outside at all the snow. "Yes." I said. I really don't know if I was or not but if I said no, he would be more worried. I know its bad to be underweight for a werewolf. Jack let out a small sigh. "If I asked what happened to you will you tell me?" Jack said in a crack voice. This made me turn to look at him.

I noticed he was gripping the steering wheel tightly and the smell of worry is in the air. "Can you give me a few days? I'm still trying to figure out how to tell you without breaking down." I said softly. "Did someone hurt you at school?" Jack said with a growl of rage. "No, its something else." I said as tears started to run down my face once more.

By the time we got back to Jack's house I was still crying, and Jack had to pick me up and take me inside. The house didn't have a lot of the pack there, but the pack came running to the room I was in. They all had worried looks on their faces as they looked at me. Then they looked at their alpha. "Give her a few days and she will tell me what happened and if she wants you to know I will tell you. If not don't push her. "Jack said and the others nodded, and they came over to me and nuzzled me.

This made me feel a little better, I nuzzled them back and Jack took me to a room that I would be staying in till I go back to school. When dinner was ready, I went down and it was just Jack, his mate Cleo, Nat and me. They told me the others was working or with their own families. I nodded as I tried to eat more but my stomach couldn't hold it. I saw Jack about to say something just as my food is coming back up. I took off to the nearest bathroom and vomited up all the food I eat.

"Sweetie are you ok?" Cleo said as she held back my hair. Once I was done and washed my mouth out, I spoke. "I'm just use to eating that much. I haven't been eating a lot and I know its bad for us not to eat. I just can't keep much done these days." I said in a low voice. I smelt Jack there, so he heard everything I said. "How many times a day did you eat?" Jack asked in a soft voice. "Once and it was mostly at dinner." I said as Cleo rubbed my back. "Ok, we are going to try and get you to eat three times a day. Just eat what you can and if you get hungry at any point just ask or go get something to eat ok Lucy?" Jack said and I nodded my head. "Thank you." I said before we went back to the dining room.

I ate a little then went to go get ready for bed. Taking a hot shower and then crawling into the bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow I blacked out.

3rd POV

Jack made sure that Lucy was fast asleep before he called Bran. "What's wrong Jack?" Bran said as soon as he saw who was calling him. "Lucy came back for winter break." Jack said slowly trying to figure out how to tell him about Lucy. "Is she ok?" Bran said with worry in his voice. "By the looks of her. . .no she's not. I think she is going through something emotionally and she said she will tell me when she figures out how to tell me. I just wanted you to know that she is back, but she lost a lot of weight. I'm going to get her back to eating." Jack said and Bran went quite. "I be there in the morning." Bran said before he hung up.

Bran got up and packed a bag before heading out. His sons was there and looked at his father. "I'm going to London I be back whenever I can." Bran said and Samuel spoke up. "I come too. I might be able to help with the omega." Samuel said before he went to go pack. "I stay here and watch over the pack." Charlies said and Bran nodded.

It wasn't long before the Bran and Samuel was up in the air. Samuel was looking at his father and notice how is father is acting. "This must be a very special omega." Samuel said with a small smile. "What do you mean?" Bran said to his soon. "You wouldn't leave this soon for just anyone. She must really be something." Samuel said and Bran just growled as he closed his eyes to get some sleep before getting there. Since Lucy wasn't herself, Brain didn't get much sleep because he was so worried about Lucy. Now that she is back in London he can go and see her and try to make her feel better.

It was early in the morning when Bran and Samuel got to Jack's house. Cleo was the one that opened the door for them. "Glade to see you Bran just wish it was one better times." Cleo said as she looked up to a room that had Lucy in it. "Same Cleo. How is Lucy?" Bran asked her softly. "She is still asleep we are about to start on breakfast. Then we are going to go and wake her up. Besides being underweight I don't think she's been sleeping well." Cleo said with great sorrow.

Bran had to hold himself back, from running up to Lucy's room. Bran and Samuel headed to the kitchen to help with cooking. Bran went up to Lucy's room to wake her up to come eat. Lucy was balled up in the middle of the bed and Bran can smell her pain, rage and depression. He wanted to hold her and tell her everything is going to be ok. But he couldn't do that, she is still so young, and she might not like him in that way when she get older.

"Lucy its time to get up and eat." Bran said softly as he put his hand on her. "Lucy growled as she jerked away. She slowly opened her mixed match eyes and looked at Bran.

All Bran could see was a blur for crimson and he felt Lucy hit his body with her own. Bran put his arms around her and felt how much weight she lost and that she was shacking. He looked down and saw tears running down her face. "Sweetie what happened?" Bran said in some pain in his voice. He didn't like seeing her like this. Lucy didn't look like the Lucy he left a few months ago. This one looks so lost and broken. It made Bran's heart bleed to see her like this.

Very slowly Lucy started to tell him what happened. Lucy didn't think she was going to be seeing Bran this visit that is why she told Jack to give her a few days before she told them. With Bran she felt like she can tell him anything. Everyone in the house listened to what Lucy said. Beside Bran being in a deep rage, Cleo roared with rage at what Jean and Mary did and how Lucy had to find out. Cleo is normally a calm and sweet female, but she does has a side you do not want to piss off. Everyone else is mad too, but those two are more pissed off because of different reasons.

Cleo see's Lucy as a daughter that she will never have. Lucy hickuped a little as now she was sitting back on the bed. "Lucy, I don't know what to say, but they don't define who you are. You decide who you are. They should have told you the truth, but they could have been waiting till you were a little older to understand. Then again, I really don't know why they did what they did. If you don't feel like going back to them, I make sure you have a safe place to go." Bran said. Before Lucy could say anything, Cleo spoke up. "We take her in as our own. If she wants us." Cleo said from downstairs.

Lucy's face was red when Cleo spoke out. "You don't mind taking me in?" Lucy said softly because right now she didn't trust her aunt or uncle. After reading about them she didn't feel safe with them. "Of course Lulu. We love having you around, not just because you are an omega. You are a sweet loving child that anyone would be happy to call daughter." Cleo said as tears ran down her face. "She is right Lucy; we be more then happy to have you here with us. In the short time you where here we fell in love with you. Just always know you have a home with us." Jack said as he held Cleo in his arms.

Bran is happy to hear that they would take her in, but he was going to say she was welcome to live with him during the summer. Maybe when she gets older, he will invite her there. "Thank you so much. I will take you up on that. I don't feel safe with them anymore." Lucy said and Bran held out his hand towards Lucy. Lucy took his hand and stood up. Then the two of them headed down to eat.

Lucy hugged Cleo and Jack before they went to eat. Lucy saw Samuel and smiled as she looked at him. "Lucy this is my oldest son, Samuel." Bran said and Lucy smiled more. "Hello Samuel, its very nice to meet you." Lucy said and Samuel smiled at the 11-year-old. "Its very nice to meet you two Lucy." Samuel said. Bran got the feeling that Lucy is going to need him to help her figure out who she is and to help her feel better.
