Chapter 5
She was running very fast. She never felt as powerful as this when she felt the lightness of her body storming through the woods. She was able to dodge trees, big rocks, heels and every single thing. She could hear them whispering. It spoke to her! From the air, ground, water, trees, animals and every living things around her. For the first time, she was free. It was the best feeling in the world.
Suddenly, she hears a rustling to her left and there was a reek smell coming from there. Rage builds up inside of her and she find her way as fast as she could to the sound. She saw a man with red eyes was feeding an inch away from where she stood. She heard a growled coming from her. That was odd..., she thought to herself but when the man starts to run, she chased him .All of a sudden, her surrounding starts to change. The sky becomes dark and the trees were covered with snow.
The man was fast but she was faster. She was able to tackle the man and attack him. Shredding his body to pieces. After what seems like an hour. She backed away and stared with horror of what she had done .She felt like throwing up so she walked to the lake nearby and stared at her own reflection in the lake. She gasps. Her body was different. She was on all four, covered in pure white fur. She had a snout for nose and most importantly, she had fangs. Her eyes were still the colour blue but it looks like... God damn! She was a werewolf!
Angelique start to shiver and she was terrified. She heard herself whimpering and tried to get away from her reflection but she felt something touched her leg. She turned around and saw her father's head staring at her with deep claw wounds on his cheeks covered to his forehead. Oh God! What have I done?! She screamed.
"No!No!Father!No!" She was trashing in her bed and when she opened her eyes, her father was hugging her tightly to his chest, trying to calm her down. It was a never ending tears. She could not remember how much tears she had shed. She was sobbing when she hugged her father back, trying to speak to him, "Oh, father... I had a terrible dream. Oooh.. it was terrible, father. I killed you. I really killed you. I was a bloody monster. A wolf, father and I attack you. You were dead. You were really dead. "She said and her sobbed was overpowering her until she could not say anything.
Her father stroked her hair and whispered to her, "My dear, tis was only a nightmare. It's not real. Relax my dear" Getting frustrated, Angelique pushed her father away and whimpered, "NO! It felt real, father. I felt real. I turn into a wolf and you were there as I tore you to pieces. The worse of all, I was satisfied, happy. I'm scared, father. Caius was right! What if I hurt you? What if you were dead? I can't live with myself knowing that I've hurt the only person who truly loved me." She covered her face and continued sobbing, "I just can't." She was shaking all over. Marcus sighed and hugged his daughter again and kept on stroking her back. "Now, now, child. Do you expect me to believe that my beautiful and sweet daughter could ever hurt anyone? You give life to a person, my love. Didn't I always teach you that a beast is only what a person can show by their action but not by what is in their blood? You are never a monster. Not then, not now and not ever."
Angelique look at her father with tears keep falling down, "But, father..." Marcus brushed her golden locks behind her ear, "No buts. You are a strong woman and if your wolf were to show itself, you can control it. I believe in you." She nodded softly and closed her eyes as she relaxed in his father's warmth. I doubt that I believe in myself.
The next morning, Angelique was sitting by her window and slurping a cup of hot cocoa. It has always kept her calm every time she felt like falling apart. It happens every day when she had to listen to every hurtful word in the buildings. In her dreams, she felt free. It's like all her pain and worries just washed away and the creature that she saw in the lake was happy. Not for killing her father in her dreams but the creature was happy to see herself let go. What troubles Angelique was why isn't her wolf emerged yet? She brushed the dreams out of her head and continues slurping the creamy goodness of the cocoa.
Suddenly, she had the image of Renesmee Cullen in her mind. She never seen her in person but she ever saw her pictures and she was beautiful. It is said that she possessed the ability to show people her thoughts by touching them. It might not be a powerful gift but she was able to put fear to the leaders. Her mother, Bella Cullen was gifted with shield that even Jane could not hurt her, Edward had the ability to reads people thoughts and Alice was able to see the future. The rest of the family was as strong as the rest. They were magnificent.
Maybe... yes! She had an idea. What if she could learn how to control her power, her wolf from getting berserk? Yes, maybe she could stay with the Cullens for a while and learn from them how to use her power for good .Then, whatever that Caius has accused her of will be proven wrong. She stood up and smiled to herself, this will be great Angelique. You'll learn. You will not hurt father or anyone in this coven. She put her cup away and decided to speak to her father about that.
"No, I forbid you to leave!" Marcus said with a stern voice. He was angry but she kept a calm look. "But, father, I'll only be there for three months. It won't be that long and I promise you that once three months is over, the wedding will start as soon as I arrive." Marcus stare at her angrily, "Do you think they will treat you good? They despised us for almost trying to kill their family. What makes you think they will allow you to even enter their house?"
Angelique sighs and held her father's hand on the table. She thought that maybe if they were to talk at the garden, maybe he'll be fine but she knows that he is angry." Father, have I ever ask you for anything?" Marcus relaxed and continue staring at her, "All I ask is that you will let me go for only three months. It won't be long, father. I want to control my wolf before it's got out of hand. Please, father. Give me this opportunity to prove that I am strong and I am not the beast they are expecting me to be. I've heard many good things about the Cullens, father. They'll see me for myself and Edward can read minds isn't he? He'll know I only come for good reasons. Like you said, you believe in me. Are you now?"
Marcus was speechless. Never had her daughter tried this hard to convince him to anything. She really wants this so much. He closed his eyes and laid his back on the chair. "Fine, if that's what you want, I'll allow." Angelique was elated and she walks to her father to hug him tightly. Even when he sat down, she can feel her father was much taller than her. Marcus chuckled, "But you have to promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Call me with the phone that I have bought for you. If anything were to happen to you, I will come as fast as I can, do you understand?" There were happy tears in her eyes and she nodded. He kissed her forehead and strokes her back
That night, Angelique was packing her clothes for her trip tomorrow. She knows how soon it was after having those conversations with her father just this morning but she just can't wait. Three months is not a long time so if she arrives sooner, she'll have a few days extra. Maybe that will help her relaxed before her wedding.
When she turned around, she gasps realizing that Alec was standing in front of her. Alec was dressed in black button down shirt with black trousers. His red eyes staring angrily at her. Fear overcome her as he steps closer , "Why did I hear that you are going to visits the Cullen in three months before we were to wed and you never ask me about that?!" He shouted which make Angelique shocked and hit a table behind her. "It won't be long, Alec. I'm going to learn how to control my strength. I don't want to risk getting anyone hurt if my wolf were to emerge. "She tried to speak as cool as she can but when she want to take her clothes from the closet, Alec's pulled her arms and pushed her on the bed with force.
Angelique was terrified and when she tried to sit up, he takes hold of her hands tightly between her heads .As scared as she was, she tried to struggled but his hand keeps getting tighter every time she move. He moved his face closer to hers and he kissed her cheeks to her neck and her chest. She moaned in pain .His lips touched her ear whispering, "You are mine, Angel. For now, your father will allow you to go to that bloody family and do whatever you want but once you're mine, I'll make sure you will be punished appropriately." His fangs cuts her cheeks .He lapped up her blood and whispered, "You blood taste so good for an animal .I wonder which part of your body taste the same."
One of his hands hold her cheeks. Her tears were flowing and he could smell the sweet fragrance of fear coming out of her. "Beautiful." He slammed his lips to hers .He sucked her lips as he put his hand on her waist and tighten his body to hers. Then, he licked her bottom lips before trying to push his tongue into her mouth. She kept her teeth shut but when he bite her lips with his fangs, she moan and his tongue enters her sweet cavern tasting every parts of her mouth. His tongue entwined hers forcefully and his chest starts to feel hot just as his cock getting hard.
He finished the kiss with a peck on her lips before releasing her and stood up straight, adjusting his sleeves while Angelique sobbed on the floor with blood dripping from her lips and her cheeks. She looked up with tears welling up in her eyes, looking at Alec with fear. Alec knelt down with smirked on his lips, "You look beautiful with my mark on your cheek and your beautiful lips. Once we're married I will add more marks on your body to show everyone your mine. Not even your father can stop me. This I swear" He growled. "Goodnight, Angel." He left calmly as if nothing ever happened.
Angelique covered her mouth and cried; hopping no one will see or hear her. God, what have I got myself into? Her body shook from tears. At least her wounds were already healing itself and there was only blood stained left on her cheek. How can she let herself get married to that monster? She can't. He'll hurt her but what can she do? She promised her father and she was already engaged. It was too late.
