Alaric
I was asked by an old college buddy to come speak to his class at East Forsyth High. I didn’t really want to go teach at a high school but I owe him a favor, and this will be a good chance to speak on the launch. You know kind of like a pre-launch speech. I have been standing in the halls for the past 10 minutes and he still won’t pick up the phone.
‘Great! He won’t answer his phone and the damn secretary isn’t in the office. Now where do I go?' I ask myself. Just as I am about to leave a girl walks right into my chest.
“Omph”
Shaking her head she says, “ Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I wasn’t looking where I was going!”
‘Look mate is checking us out,' hums Draco happily.
We watch as her eyes go from our head to our toes stopping at our groin.
'Mmm, I can smell mates arousal, mate likes what she sees,' Draco
LizaI can’t believe Tyler would do that. What’s worse, is I have no clue why I got angry. I never fight back.‘What was that? I’m not a confrontational person,’ I say to myself.What ever happened now I have Brittney as an enemy, this isn’t good. I’m the girl sitting in the back in the shadows. The one slumped over, depressed, girl no one talks to, and the teachers forget she’s in the classroom. The invisible girl, the one no one wants to be around. What have I got myself into?*Lunchtime*As I walk into the cafeteria I should have known something was off. Looking around I see everyone looking my way, suddenly self conscious I try to shrink inwardly. Once I crossed the door something hits me, like a cold splash of water. I can hear the all of them laughing, and then suddenly they gasp in horror.“OMG! The
Alaric“Oh. I’m a bit clumsy, I fell,” was all she said.I can sense she is lying to me, but I will let it go for now. I turn to go to the desk when I hear her friend whisper to her.“Why don’t you tell him the truth? Maybe he could help?”“My parents would kill me if I said anything. No, no one can find out. Promise me Mands please. Otherwise you know I will have to deal with Marks punishment, and I don’t even wanna thing what cruel twisted forms he comes up with.”“Fine.”So I sit there trying to determine what exactly they could mean when it dawns on me, she’s being abused at home. I can feel Draco’s protectiveness through the bond and know I must do what I can to keep her safe. I just need proof. Yea because getting that will be super easy right.“OK, class should start soon if you need to gather anything before then girls.” I announce, and th
(*Draco’s Thoughts During the Drive*)'Alaric, will you please, allow me to finish saying this before you respond?' Draco asks. I normally don't speak, but this must be said, its urgent.'OK.' He replied.‘I know that you have been watching our mate, just as I have today. Those marks and scars on her body have me worried. Some of them looked fresh, like 24 hours old or less. While the others are in various healing stages, from week old to almost fully healed. Looking into her Ocean blue eyes, I felt like I was drowning. They were once bright but from our first run in this morning, they seem duller. I tried to communicate mentally with mate, but somehow she managed to block me today. No typical human can do this, she is a very special human. I can sense something about her, like pre war familiar many centuries ago.’ I worriedly say.'I agree. There is something g
Alaric“Is everything OK?” I ask her.Judging by the way she jumped, I can tell she was deep in thought and didn’t hear me walk up to her. Hopefully she will open up to me, I can't stand seeing her upset like this. Mate or not, I really want to be able to help her. Wonder if I suggest we take the food to one of her favorite places it will make her more comfortable.“Oh, you scared me. Sorry I didn’t hear you, with everything today at school I really do need you to change your mind on firing Brittney's dad.” Liza says as she nearly jumped out of her skin, holding her chest.“Let's get our food then we can talk about it. I am sure we can come up with something reasonable. The way she behaved is unacceptable. Is there a spot you'd like to go to so we can talk without you being uncomfortable? I can tell this means a lot to you as if you are scared of something. So,
Alaric‘I have a bad feeling. We should follow mate!’ Draco kept screaming in my head.Watching her leave I was feeling the same way. Something didn’t feel right, I could sense something was wrong. So, listening to my gut instincts, I decided we would follow her. Liza assured us that she would meet us, but just in case, we would be there in case she needed us.LizaWalking home I was elated. Finally, I will be free. This is amazing, never in a million's years did I think that I would be free before I turned 18. Smiling the entire way, I was so lost in my own happiness. I figured a quick shower then I would pack what I could.Running upstairs I started the water, then walked into my closet to grab change of clothes. I grab my leather pants, knee high black boots, white tank top th
The Morning After, Many QuestionsLizaI wake up frantically looking around. The last thing that I remember, I was running away from Mark wrapped in my sheet. The tears start flowing, as I remember the events of last night. Why would my mom allow Mark to rape me; luckily, he failed, but still a mother is supposed to love and protect her child. Looking around I notice that I am wearing a silk night gown. Who dressed me, but the more important question is, where the hell am I?I get up to search for any clue as to where I am. I notice I am in a very lavish bedroom. There is a king size bed with satin sheets and a beautiful rose-colored comforter. The bed made it feel as if I was laying on clouds, easily the best sleep I have had in a while. There are two doors made of glass that led out to a balcony. Walking outside, the view is amazing. The smell of fresh flowers from the garden below, there are roses o
Liza*Two Months Later*I still cannot get over the fact, that this is my house. Amanda has been here almost every weekend; she has been helping me decorate the house. Alaric comes by to check on me almost daily. He has hired therapists to help me work on myself. He has been so sweet, today he said he had a surprise for me, so here I am getting ready. I wonder what it could be, he’s being so cryptic won’t even give a decent hint.Shoot I only have 10 minutes before he is here. I quickly get dressed in my army green tactical pants, combat boots; since all he gave was hiking; black fitted tank that really hugs my body. I also grab a light jacket just in case it gets cold.*KNOCK* *KNOCK*I quickly open the door with a smile, there stands Alaric wearing a similar outfit. “Here, these are for you,” he says handing me a beautiful bouquet of blue roses
AlaricAs our faces slowly moving forward, I can hear Draco urging me forward. Lost completely in the sparks that are exploding where our skin touches, slowly our eyes begin to close as we are only mere inches from our lips touching;*cough* *cough*.
