help me, it hurts part 1

8/14/2019 Help me, it hurts Part 1

1/28

I'm trying to run. Runaway. From all the pain and hurt my own family gave me. Why? Why must every time that I forgive somebody that they hurt me even worst thanthe first time. It's not fair. It's not fair! I never asked for this! Why mustit happen to me? I know there is a Jesus up there and I pray every day and nightand yet I continued to be in pain. But he did keep me alive and I guess that isall a pathetic person like me can ask for. Nothing more. Packing now. And fast.My abusive mother and father are knocked out but father should be waking up any

minute now. I hurried and packed everything I needed.Food, clothes, money. I couldn't bring credit cards...they would track me. I packed my best friends necklace and teddy bear. These was her favorite things. I have to hurry. I have to hurry!! If he finds out that I'm trying to runaway he will KILL ME. I'm already bleeding enough. Then I heard footsteps. Oh no! I Ran tothe door and locked it. That should be able to slow him down. I grabbed my bookbag with everything I packed in it and I opened the window. Then I did what anygirl with my life did. I jumped out the window"Ally!!! " I heard him yell from the window. "Ally! Get in here!" His words wereslurring so he must be drunk. I ran and ran and ran until I found somewhere that looked like Las Vegas but I knew it wasn't. But I did knew one thing. I was far from home. They weren't going to find me anytime soon. I sat in a dark alley.

I know it was a stupid thing to do but if the police find me then they will takeme back to my father and mother. They aren't any good. I know I don't deserve anything better but I don't want to be there anymore.I hung on to my bag. I was hungry but I knew I would have to wait until It was absolutely necessary. I don't have a lot of money. Only $500 and that won't lastlong without a job. . . I'm only 15 years old and there isn't a lot of jobs outthere for 15 yr olds. I decided to take a chance and move. During the day I willsleep but at night I will keep moving. I picked my self up wincing at my bleeding wounds and walked down the ally. About five minutes after walking down the ally I felt like someone or something was watching me. I stopped where I was, andslowly turned.I hoped that if I were to die, that it would at least be a woman. Then at leastthere would be a chance of generosity available for a winch like me. Once I turn

ed there was nothing there. I must be hallucinating. I looked at my stomach where my wounds were. They were still bleeding pretty bad. My hand touched my stomach and blood appeared. I sighed I'm going to have to spendmoney on that. Or I would get an infection. I turned back around looking at my feet and started to walkforward as before. But then I bumped into something.. . Or someone. I looked upshocked and scared. Very scared. It was a man. I learned the hard way to nevertrust a man. All they do was hurt you and bring you pain. . . And death."What are you doing back here Miss?" A gentle voice said. It was amazing. The most amazing voice I have ever heard."I. . . I umm. . . " What am I supposed to tell him? Hey oh nothing just runningaway from home. Yea right. " I'm going home. It's right there at the end of this alley" I lied.

"Hm. Pretty strange since I went back there and it's a . . . dead end" My breathing started to harsh."Really? I guess I took the wrong alley. Well thanks for telling me I'm going togo back and see if I can find the right one. Nice meeting you" I said then I started to turn and went back the way I came until a hand was on my shoulder. I immediately started to struggle and beg. "Please! Please don't hurt me! Please!" The mystery guy came into view and I saw what he looked liked. He had short brownhair. It wasn't exactly short but defiantly wasn't long either. His eyes were heart breakinly blue and his features were sharp.His eyes were full of pain for some reason. But it wasn't my business anyway. Once again I begged."Please. Just let me go" He shook his head."You're coming with me"

"No! no! NO! don't please! Don't hurt me." He looked shocked. I struggled and got free of his shocked arms and I ran. I ran even though my stomach was killing me. I ran and ran until his face was gone from view. I stopped and clutched at my

side. Thepain really was killing me. I'm going to die from blood loss. Then I pushed my self further. I walked for another hour I believe, with a bleeding wound. But I took my shirt off and wrapped it tightly around my stomach, but kept myjacket over myself.It helped for awhile but then I started to feel faint. And that eventually whathappened. I fainted. But before I could completely lose conscious, I heard thatsame amazing voice whisper,

"I've been looking everywhere for you stranger." And then I felt myself being lifted and I was lost in unconscious.

I was awake now but I wasn't going to open my eyes. My breathing was harsh, andI had a major headache. I took the chance to open my eyes and when I did, I sawthe most beautiful thing ever. The room was black and gold(the gold just looks like gold not actual gold). The bed I was laying in, the sheets were gold yet thecomforter black. You had black curtains around the bed that was pulled back with gold ropes. I was in a black short summer dress.I lifted the dress up and the wound were my dad stabbed me was wrapped up. I pushed my dress back down. I touched my face. My busted lip was beginning to heal,and my swollen eye wasn't as swollen before. I looked at my arms. They were bett

er.. The bruises were pretty bad but not as bad as before. It still hurt to breathe but I managed anyway. I got out of bed and limped towards the big woodenblack and gold doors."What happened to you? You looked like hell when I found you." I know that voice.I turned around or limped around and saw him again. The same heart breaking blue. My breathing stopped but immediately started to cough. I put my hand over my mouth then when I was finish coughing blood was on my hands. I looked up at the stranger with a apologetic face."S-sorry" He shook his head, it didn't seem like it disturbed him, more like itjust pained him to see it. "Where - where am I ?" I asked a little scared. Normally I would be the one who answers the questions while someone else asks them."My place" Then all of a sudden I remembered my bag. With the little food, money

, and clothes that I had in it."Where's my bag? Sir please you have to give me my bag! I do anything if you just give me my bag!" I said, starting to panic."Calm down. Calm down. Your bag is downstairs""Can I go get it? Please sir?" The best way to stay on a man's good side is to show him that you are his for the taking and that you would not disrespect him inanyway. I learned that the hard way too. I bowed even though it hurt like hell,I still bowed to him for a show of respect.I saw his feet move toward me and I stiffened. He stopped for a second then he took slower steps. He's going to hurt me. I know it. Just accept your punishmentAlly I thought to myself. He was standing in front of me know and I was startingto shake from fear and from not being able to support my weight. I could support it just not for too much longer. I feltHands on m shoulders pushing them up. I cringed and shudder at his touch. He stopped and gently took my arms and pushed me so I was no longer bowing but standing up straight."I show you were your bags are" Then took my hand gently and led me out of the room and downstairs. I was shaking the whole way, men are kind one minute then threatening the next. "Are you alright?" He asked clearly concerned. That's strange. No one was ever concerned about me. Not even my own mother. How strange."I-I'm fine sir" I said keeping my head down staring at my feet. We were downstairs about a minute later and he handed me my bag. I quickly grabbed it and sunkto the floor. I looked through it. I check my wallet, food, clothes, everything.I sighed in relief. Everything was there."Are you living on the streets dear?" The stranger asked me. I jumped but immedi

ately fell back down. He help me up and as soon as he was done I pulled away from him.He looked hurt but regained his expression.

"I have to go. My parents would be worried about me." I lied. They don't care about me even though I care about them."Your not going anywhere" he said. Then I ran, bearing the pain but before I could even make a turn he grabbed me around the waist. I cried out in pain. He instantly let go of me but to only hold me gently but firmly by the arm."you aren't going anywhere when your hurt like this!" he said but his voice wasgetting higher.

I got on my knees and began to beg like I always did when I did something wrong."Please! Please! don't hurt me! don't hurt me!" I said but I started to cry nearthe end."What did you say?" He asked shocked once again."N-Nothing sir"" The name is Andrew. And stop talking to me like I'm your master. Get up" I didas I was told. But wether he knew of it or not, in the world I grew up in, menwere the masters.

"Why do you act this way?" He asked."How do you want me to act?""I want you to act how you want to act"

"You. . . You want me to do something . . . On my own will?" He nodded."It is your life" I didn't respond. I was too busy thinking about what my mothertold me.*flashback*It was during the summer. That night was cold for some strange reason. Nobody knew why but it just was. I ran down the stairs and told my mom what Frank did tome. He hit me and at the time I wasn't going to take that. I used to be stuck up, always put myself first, then family, then friends. I thought I was doing good. Because I would always try to do what would make everyone happy. And I used tobelieve that I would find love one day. That my prince charming, wether he wasthe ugliest person in the world or the richest, I believed that he was going tocome for me.One day wether it was on the worst day ever or the best day. I stillbelieved that he would come. Someday. My mom and I were arguing about what just

happened."It's my life ma! If I want to leave I will!" She slapped me."Its not your life. It's his. He can do whatever he wants with you. You mean nothing to anybody and no one and no thing would ever want you. Ever." That was thefirst time she had hit me."That's not true" I said. I know there is something or someone out there for me.There has to be. She smirked and called,"Frankie?!" He came downstairs and saw me in my pajamas. My booty shorts and tank top and he smiled."Yes dear?" He asked not taking his eyes off of me."Teach her a lesson. Do anything you want to her. I don't care." He smiled onceagain as my mother left the house."Looks like it's just you and me sweet cheeks." Then he started to come towardsme.*Reality*"Miss? Miss? Miss?!" I came back to reality with a jump. Andrew was shaking me.I didn't realized the pain because I was so numb. My face was very warm. I put my hands on my face and there was tears drenching my face. I also realized that Iwas biting my lip. And that blood was dripping down my chin. I released my lipand wiped my chin."S-Sorry ss-sir" His hands were still on my arms. I looked at them and shivered.He removed his hands with a frown."My name is Andrew." He muttered."Yes s- I mean Andrew""What is your name dear?"

"Ally" I said looking at my feet. My parents always told me that Ally was a stupid name. I'm guessing your thinking, why would they call it a stupid if they were the ones that named me. Well. . . I was born in some dude's crack house andmy


4/28

mom never took me to the hospital and she never named me. They always called mebitch until one day they told me to name myself. I told them I thought my name was bitch. They just laughed and told me to just get a name for myself. so I justchose Ally."That's a beautiful name. It's just like you" I didn't react. Men told me that before, only to get me comfortable until I figure what they were doing."thank you sir, I mean Andrew"

"You call people sir a lot don't you? Or men sir a lot.""I was raised to talk that way.""oh. Well. . . I had my nurses clean you up-" I stiffened. I am praying that they weren't male nurses. I could tell that he saw me tensed. " Lucinda picked thedress out" My body relaxed. That must be a girl. But men have girl names all thetime. . ."I-is that a girl? Sir?" He put his hand on his chin and looked at me."What if I say it was a guy?" I froze for a second then my breathing hitched, and my body started to ache and shake. My eyes watered, and my arms automaticallywrapped around myself. They would usually make me feel the pain. I guess I should be grateful. . . I guess."Is that okay?" Andrew asked.

"Y-yes" I whispered as the tears of pain brimmed over. I saw his hand twitch andstart to reach for me but he thought better of it. I quickly wiped the tears away. I had to see what he wanted. He must wanted something or he wouldn't have saved me. I guess I owed him everything since he savedmy life. I bowed the secondtime that day, and the pain was twice as worse, and I said,"What do I owe you?""Stand up." He stated. I did as I was told and waited for him to tell me what Ishould do. "And you don't owe me anything.""yes I do""What makes you think that?""You saved me.""true. But. . . ""What can I do sir?"

"How about this. Stop calling me sir." That was going to be hard. But I would have to get over it and do what I was told. But wait. What would it matter? I'm not staying here."Why would it matter? S- Andrew""Isn't it obvious? You're not living on the streets. You are living with me.""My parents-""Stop with that bullshit. I know you're living on the streets." I blushed and looked down."How old are you exactly?""Sixteen" I froze." Almost 17""And you have a house?""My parents bought it for me. I'm still under their consent. So. . .they just pay for some of the stuff in here.""Well" I said with my eyes wide."How old are you?" He asked with curiosity lingering in it."15. Almost 16 now that I think about it."He smiled. I wish I could smile. . . .it's been years since I have."Come on.""May I asked where you are taking me?""I'm taking you shopping. You need a wardrobe since you are going to be stayinghere." I only nodded. For once I was slightly happy. That I don't have to sleepon the streets, but scared. For him and me. I could only hope and pray that my parents wouldn't be wherever we are going. Or that they won't find us.

ent. She then began to pull me along down into a hallway and into a room. Then it was just me and her in a room. I could tell that she didn't like me. At all.

"Here" she said angrily and threw a dress over to me. It was yellow and was justlike the one I had on. Except yellow of course. But I liked this one better forsome reason it was amazing. "Are you going to gawk at it or put it on?" She said rudely. I flinched and quickly stripped then put the dress on.

"What the hell happen to you?" She asked surprised."Umm. . . N-nothing. I'm-""You look gorgeous." I turned around and Andrew was standing in the doorway. Hewas looking at me with a smile, then he looked at Lucinda and the smile completely erase from his face. If looks could kill then Lucinda would be dead right nowwithout a trace. She gulped then Andrew to my hand and led me back downstairs.When we got outside I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A limo/ I never thought that I would see one. Only in maginzines...."Come on dear. We have a lot of shopping to do." I looked down at myself. My bruises will be noticeable. Then people would ask questions and I can't say who didit or they will fins me..."Umm....Andrew? Do you have a jacket?"

"Of course" He went back in side and came out with a jean jacket. "Here.""Thank you Andrew."'You don't have to say Andrew at the end of each sentence you know""When do I say it?" I was just replacing the word sir with Andrew. Isn't that what he wanted? He shrugged."Just not at the end of every sentence.""Yes A- yes" I said as I caught my mistake. He smiled and chuckled slightly."Come. We're going shopping" Then we got into the car and went to hell knows where.

"Stop! Stop!""Shut up you bitch!" I struggled and struggled yet I couldn't break him off."Help! help! help!" I cried yet no help came.

"Shut UP!" Then he slapped me. I didn't stop though. I kept fighting back untilI just got tired of fighting....just got tired of it."Ally? Ally? Ally, sweetheart? Wake up" I slowly opened my eyes and saw a worried face Andrew. I looked down at myself. I was sweating. My neck was very sweatytoo. I was also shaking like crazy! And why did he call me sweetheart? Nobody had ever called me sweetheart..."Sorry" I whispered. I looked down, and then I heard I deep breath. An angry deep breath. I looked up and saw his face angered."Did I do something wrong?" I asked. He just looked at me, and I remembered whatI did wrong."Oh sorry! I'm so sorry sir!" he just looked out the window. Then I realized that I yet again made another mistake."Sor-"He put his finger on my lips."don't say that word" I just nodded. His hand slid from my face and onto the seat beside my hand. I blushed. I was embarrassed because I have always been good at doing what I was told to do but now I was just falling to pieces. I turned inmy spot and leaned my head against the window."Andrew?""Yes?" He said calm now." Are we almost there?""Look out the window." I looked out the window for the first time and it was amazing. The stores surrounded a beautiful walk way, that had a garden in the middle of it. The walkway was tiles that I knew were VERY expensive."It's beautiful" I whispered. But....how was I suppose to pay for anything in here when I only had $500? I couldn't dare spend a dime in case of an emergency. I

just couldn't."Andrew? I don't think this is such a good idea""Why not?" He asked looking at me. I could feel his gaze as I looked out the win

dow."I don't have that much money. How am I suppose to pay for a freaking soda in here?" He laughed." did you not hear me earlier? I said I was taking you shopping. Therefore I'm going to be paying while you are going to be shopping" I gasped and turned to look at him."Why?" I asked.

"What do you mean by, 'why'"?"Why are you taking me shopping? And why did you help my wounds? And. . . Why doyou act like you care?""First, you need some clothes, second I don't think I could let you go around with a stab in your stomach, and bruises all over you. Along with those cuts." Heangrily. " And third, Everybody needs someone to care for." I turned my head after that. That's not true. If so, then how come frank doesn't care for anybody? Not for my mom. Not for his brothers. And especially not for me. I pulled my knees up and wrap my arms around them and rested my chin on my knees.In my world, if you wanted to survive then you had to care for yourself , and for only yourself, and do what you needed to survive. About five minutes later, Isaw the most beautiful 'mall' ever. But it didn't look like a mall. I don't know

what it looked like but certainly not a mall for sure. Once in the parking lot, he gotten out of the car and came around my side ofthe car. I was about to open the door ,but he already did before I had the chance. I cleared my throat as he took my hand led me into the 'mall'. Once we entered, I got stares and glares from everybody there. Even people working in the windows, setting up displays looked at me. Then they would get yelled at by their bosses but once their bosses see what they were staring at they would stare too.The crowd soon dissolved back to what they were doing but still stole glances atme."Well, I guess clothes are first." I opened my mouth to say "yes sir" or "yes Andrew" but I thought better of it and just nodded. He led to a store called, Frede Chan. I didn't know what it meant or what language it was. He entered the store and was immediately greeted with a dozen roses. Behind the roses, slowly reve

aled a young lady. A brunette to be exact, with green eyes, and her face was perfect. Maybe this is his girlfriend? Maybe he has more than one girlfriend... I stopped myself from rolling my eyes at the thought from him being a player. Should have known. And when I felt the disappointment in me, I knew that I had already begun to hope that he was different. I need to be more careful... She put theroses on a counter that was nearby and hugged Andrew. While doing so she took myhand and shoved it aside. I winced as the pain shot up my arm but I didn't sayanything.Another rule is to respect your 'owner's' friends. I think I might think of himlike that now. I just can't say it because I think that he would get mad. I looked around the store. It looked very expensive. There was dresses everywhere, andshoes, purses, dressy &casual clothes. It was amazing."I guess you aren't used to these type of clothes huh?" I turned and saw the brunette looking at me. I just stared at her not knowing wether or not if she was talking to me."are you going to answer me?" I shivered and said,"I...I am not." I said in a respectful tone. She smiled and returned her attention to Andrew once again. I didn't mind, I guess.... She put her hands on his chest and leaned in close, whispering something. He leaned back, uncomfortable."Mind getting off of me?" He asked. She looked hurt and then she looked over atme with hate in her eyes. Like it was my fault...but everything that goes wrongis because of me. Then she walked away never letting her eyes leave mine. I shivered again."Come. We must get you some clothes now. We are wasting time standing here." I nodded as he led me to the dresses. He picked out dresses, jeans, and all sorts o

f clothes. He made me try on everyone of them on and come out to show him. He had also tried to make me smile but it didn't really work. I would manage a smallsad smile. I didn't know why I was sad but before we left, when I was changing o

nto regular clothes, I decided that this would be the only time when I might beable to see the sun. So I'm going to enjoy it wether I like it or not.We paid or he paid and we left the store with the woman glaring at me. The samewoman from earlier, the brunette."Ally," Andrew said once we were away from the store, " Ally, what is the matter?" I looked up at him."Nothing"

" Don't lie to me" He said as he stared into my eyes."I'm not." I said. " I was a little sad earlier but not now. I am perfectly finenow. Thank you for asking." He nodded believing me, but why wouldn't he? It isthe truth. We went to other stores and the ladies did the same thing as the brunette, flirted with him, glared at me, gave him gifts, but gave me attitude. We were walking through the mall towards the food court, when I saw them. How did they get here?! I'm sure I ran far away from my parents. They can't be anywhere near here, yet there they were. I stopped in my tracks, looking at them."Ally? Ally sweetie?" Andrew's voice called to me. I looked up at him. He had worry written all over his face. His arm was around my waist shaking me slightly,I flinched. His hold loosen but didn't let go."yes?" I asked quietly. He looked to where I was looking a minute ago.

"You know them?" he asked. What do I do? I can't tell them their my parents, then he would give me back to them. .. That can't happen! Maybe if I lie .." Don't even think about lying to me." He whispered."They...they..." He glared at me, his glare was so cold that I shivered and started to move away from him tripping over my feet. I fell on my butt, and I couldn't hold it in any longer. I broke down, I started crying and whimpering, but I didn't do so loudly." Ally? Ally honey did I scare you? I'm sorry. So terribly sorry." He bent downand picked me up. I just kept crying. Then some people came and took the bags following behind me and Andrew towards, what I think, the car is. The people loaded the bags in one car, and me and Andrew got into another. I felt the car move,and heard something move. I turned in his arms , with tears still spilling overmy eyes, and saw a black tainted window separating the driver from us. Uh oh. He

didn't want the driver to see him beating me. This is bad, my eyes wide-eyed inhorror. I turned back to him, while praying in my head the he would have mercy."I'm not going to hurt you" he said."Th-then what are you going to do?""I just want to talk to you okay? I don't want the driver hearing our conversation.""Oh, okay" Then I realized that I was still sitting in his lap. I quickly wipedmy tears away, and started to move from his lap, when he wrapped his arms aroundme warning me to stay. I instantly stopped moving."Tell me your story." He stated. I looked up at him in shock, no on e had ever asked or cared about me enough to ask me that except,....for that one girl I had....that one friend. I sighed. By the look on his face, I would get a bad ass beating if I didn't tell him. So I told him the truth, I told him my story.

I told him about everything. About the abuse, the hurt, pain, the hope I had, the Jesus that I knew existed, the silence of darkness that I endured. How I hated, yet feared men. All men, when I said this he just stared at me. I saw understanding, pain, and sadness in his eyes. I also told him about the one friend I had....

*flashback*

"Hey Clare!" I called."Hey," she greeted me, " ready for the test?" I nodded." I studied allele week" I remembered what my dad did to me when he found out th

at I actually wanted to get my grades up so that maybe I could get a job and move out of this place with Clare by my side. No I wasn't a lesbo but she was likemy sister. I loved her.


9/28

"He beat you for studying didn't he?" She asked quietly. She was the only one that knew. I looked at her, she nodded. The beatings weren't bad as they recentlywere. At this time I didn't really have to hide my skin. I just had to wear thinjackets but I could leave them unzipped. We entered the class and took the test. After that the rest of the day was a breeze. But little did I know that it wasgoing to be the last day for Clare, .... And almost the last day for me."Clare!" I turned and there was my father looking at my only friend. He had a gu

n pointed at her."CLARE RUN!!!! RUN!!!! PLEASE RUN!!!!!" I screeched. Clare was talking to another friend of hers and when she heard me call her she turned around with fear written all over her face."RUN!!!!" I screeched, I tried to protect her. I tried to warn her."I told you no friends or else!" He yelled looking at me. I tried to run towardsher but one of my 'dad's' friends got out of the car and grabbed me. I struggled and struggled trying to get to her. Trying to save a life. A sister's life."DON'T DON'T!!!!!!" I kept yelling but it was no use. The guy that held me pulled out a gun. I thought he was going to shoot me but instead he started beating me. But I didn't care right now, right now I cared for Clare.POW! I froze. POW POW POW! There Clare was....on the ground with 4 bullets in he

r. Bleeding. There was so much blood...so much. She wasn't going to make it. I struggled anyway."Let her go" I heard my father say. I ran over to her. I put my hands on her face, her heart, her stomach. Everywhere wherever there was a bullet. I looked at my hands. My bloody hands. I pressed my head against her heart. THUMP...THUMp...THUmp............THump......................Thump.....................................................thump. I waited to hear another thump but I didn't get one.BEEP BEEP I heard the ambulance beeping the horn through the traffic. I shook my head, Then that's when I realized something....when he said he would kill anyone who I got close to ...he would kill them. He meant what he said. ...he meanteverything he said. He meant that I would never be loved and always hated. He meant that I would never be cared for but always abused. He meant that in the endI was a dead woman. My life would end in torture. I looked at the man who killed

my friend. I looked at the man I would always be apart of. I looked at what wasthe main source of my pain. I looked at my father.

"Is that why you ere scared when I told you Lucinda was a man?""Yes s- Andrew" He nodded."Are....are you afraid of me?" I looked at him in the eyes."I don't know.""well you don't have to worry about me abusing you. Or hurting you.""You can't promise that." I whispered."Why not?" He asked appalled." You can't control if you hurt someone. Wether it's emotional or physical. Youmay be able to control physical better of course but emotional. You can't control it, unless you did it on purpose, of course." I whispered. He held me tight tohis chest. But I still couldn't wrap my mind around it. Why does he care? Why did Clare care? Why did he take me in to his home? And take me shopping? Why musthe lie to me about him caring about me? Why is the question I don't have an answer to.We arrived back at home about 45 minutes later. I was about to move and reachedfor the door, but Andrew held me tighter and got out of the car with me in his arms. I was uncomfortable but I didn't let it show. He sat me on the couch once inside the house. He sat down on the couch and looked at me."Did the police...?" I knew instantly what he was talking about. The police knewabout my dad ,but where I lived the police to scared about the connections my dad had. Even though I hate admit it, him and his gang could burn the whole police station and not even get caught. Other police counties were to scared to do an

ything. Even when they had evidence."They were to scared.""Too scared? What the... they're police! Shouldn't they-"


10/28

"My dad is a part of a gang. A big gang that could burn the police station and get away with it even if they left a note saying that they did it." I had tears in my eyes now. He took my hand, and I shivered ,but he didn't let go. He just held it tighter."Come on. Your clothes are in your room. All ready put away." How? I didn't seethem come in through the doors. . . "They went through the back." He said. Oh, that would make sense. He led me up the stairs, and into my room. It was amazing.

The walls were lime green, while the bed was dark green, but not dark shit green but a nice pretty dark green with lime green stars. It also had pillows to match. There was a desk in the corner with a laptop, paper, writing utensils, and etc.. There was also a bookshelf with dictionaries and encyclopedias on it but nothing else."Sorry, I didn't know what books you liked...""Oh my god. I never had one.""What?" I breathed in and out."I never....I never had someone who cared." I whispered. I know I should slap myself for this, but I couldn't help but be thankful and to not wondered , for once, that he cared. Because I now I knew that he cared. I now knew that someone cared for me. . .Wow.. Who could imagine?

"You like it?" I smiled and tears once again came in my eyes. But for once in mylife. It wasn't tears that meant I was hurting but tears of joy. Tears of joy that meant he really meant what he said. But...so did my father... But whatever,I am going to move on. I won't let my father mistakes mess up my life. No more.I looked up at him with tears streaming on my face. He frowned."I can have it changed if you want-""What? What are you talking about? I ....I love it! It's....it's...," I shook myhead, "It's amazing. . . I ... it's perfect... I....I can't even explain it. ..Wow?" He smiled that heart breaking smile of his. I looked away from his gaze and went to the closet, slowly, and poked my head in. W......O......W.... a walkin closet that seemed like a house. Or an apartment more like it. It was as bigas the apartment I was living in! Including all the rooms put together! I wouldhave ran around in there spinning around like the latest Disney princess but I c

ouldn't exactly run at the moment. My butt still hurts. I went into the center of a room, and spun in a very slow circle, looking around. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics...everything."Oh my.""I'm guessing I don't have to change this either" I jumped when he whispered inmy ear. I turned and he was looking at me with a smile that was as happy as canbe. I smiled and looked around the room again. It was truly unbelievable. "Change, and come back out so we can get dinner.""Dinner as in downstairs?""No. Dinner as in, we're going to a restaurant." oh."A...a restaurant?""yes. So...dress up nice." I looked at a dress that caught my eye. It was long sleeved and showed me off perfect. With showing any bruises..."That would be perfect to wear..." He said following my gaze."I'll be waiting." He whispered in my ear before he left. I took a deep breath and decided that I shouldn't keep him waiting for long. I went into a bathroom that was in the closet. damn, talk about money I walked into the bathroom and wasjust as amazed as I was a second ago. The bathroom was based off of my bedroom.Lime green and dark green tiles, and towels. The curtains were brown while the toilet was well....brown too.I jumped in the shower, after stripping down, of course, and turned it on. The tiles around the shower were also green and brown. I smiled, man did it felt goodto smile and laugh and.... To finally start to be happy.

uldn't I see it at first?! She must love, or is very fond of, Andrew. Since he brought me something and not her... She looked at me accusingly. " you b-""Lucinda! Stop it this instant or I will have you kicked out!" She froze then slowly turned to look at Andrew."You wouldn't" she whispered. He looked at her."I would if I have to" Then he took my hand, grabbing my purse from Lucinda andhanding it to me, and led me out the door. There was a limo waiting for us. And

a person with light brown and gray hair waiting for us. When he spotted me he smiled and bowed."Ms....?""Ms. Davidson" I smiling politely. I tried to hide the fear from my face but I could tell that I didn't do a good job. He opened the door and I got in with Andrew close behind. But before he got in he whispered something to the driver."yes sir" The driver replied. Once he got in, Andrew, sat close beside me."I think you're going to love this place I'm taking you" He said while looking out the window."Expensive?" he looked at me."Is that a problem?" uh oh."Oh no. None at all." He frowned slightly. He kept frowning for about another 10

-20 minutes. Then his face lit up."come on" he took my hand once the car stopped and led me to a restaurant. The name was, 'Che dun la' it looked like something you would see from a movie. It was dark outside, and the restaurant was near water. Everything seemed to be nearwater here. There were lanterns hanging everywhere, and candles on the tables. There was a dock near the water, with benches for people to sit at.Then there was, what I think to be, a dance floor. There was also soft music playing, and couples were eating, dancing and looking, gracefully. I was no comparison to them. But Andrew seemed to think so if he brung me here."Wow" I breathed. That was all I seemed to be saying today. Wow's, and amazing's. He once again took my hand and led me to a table. Tonight was a very nice warmnight. Lighting bugs lighting up near the dock. He sat across from me after holding my chair out for me. Then a server came, it was a girl, thankfully, and she

seemed eager to come over and take our order. I looked over at Andrew and I finally noticed what he was wearing. A nice expensive button up shirt, with a jacket over it, and some men dress pants."Hello my name is Amber and I'm your server for tonight. How may I help you tonight ?" she asked us. More like Andrew, you can hear the double meaning, but it shouldn't bother me.... She was blonde, a bleach blonde. I know not all blondes are bad, and that some are pretty smart but some were just snobs. She had green eyes, and her skin was spray tanned though it was really un even. That has to suck, I thought. " You can help her first" He said looking at me. The girl, Amber,turned to me, stomping her foot."What do you want?" She asked rudely. I flinched but before I could answer Andrew said something."Don't be rude, you know that I could get you fired in less than a second. Don'tmake me do it." He said strong, and confident. She turned back to me and said very politely,"what would you like to drink?""A sprite please." I whispered. She turned back to Andrew, but not with the sameeager as before."And you?""The same" She nodded and then left quickly."I'm sorry everyone is being rude to you" He whispered."Well not everyone. You're not being mean or rude to me" I said. And it was true. For once, I think that I made a friend. I smiled yet slightly frowned. He wasas friend, but... I was still slightly afraid him. Hopefully that would change soon.

"Here are your drinks" Amber said returning. I looked up at her and muttered a thank you. After giving us our drinks she took out order for food then left onceagain without another word. Silence took over while we waited for our food. Once

I'll keep you close to meWhen I remember a place in time still belong to usStays preserved in my mind.In my memories there is SolaceOoh! Never to faraway! I won't let time eraseOne minute of yesterdayCause I have learned thatNobody can take your place!Though we can never eI'll think of you and meAlways remember

Looooooooove!!!!!You're never to far!

You're never to far Clare I thought to myself. I slowly began to move my feet inthe water, making rings appear. My heart felt like a million pounds have been lifted off of it. Not all of the weight but a lot. I looked up at the moon, withthe few clouds surrounding it. The cool yet warm night surrounding me like a warmth from a fire. Lightening bugs are spreading around the dock like butter on bread.I looked around me, the dock was humongous! I stood up, with my toes wet from the warm water. Then I did, what I believed any girl with my life so far would'vedone. I spun around like a princess. My arms above my head, feet twirling, body

spinning. I smiled, and I kept smiling until I had to laugh. I'm so happy. If anyone were to hurt me now...I wouldn't mind so much....because the joy I'm feeling right now would last me a lifetime.Then WHAM! I opened my eyes, startled, by the sudden appearance of Andrew.

Andrew's POV"I'll be right back" I told Ally. I looked at her once more before I went behindthe restaurant . Damn her! Damn all the girls here! Except for Ally of course,she had done nothing wrong yet the pathetic girls here continue to harm her. ButI hate one person, one woman, most of all. My ex, Lucinda. She too was beaten but not as bad as Ally. I never loved her, I liked her as a friend but nothing more. She asked me out, I could not turn her down, well I could but I didn't. I thought I might as well take a chance at going out to date while I waited for my soulmate to come along. Boy was that a mistake..... She became obsessed, following me everywhere, asking me what I was doing every second of the day. Literally.She would text me all the time asking 'what are you doing' for every text she sent me.But that has to stop now. I broke up with her a while ago when the stalking started. But now I found my soulmate and she needed to let go."Oh my god1 I didn't know you were going to be here! And what are you doing around out back? It's like you knew I was here!" Lucinda said acting surprised."Lucinda," I said sternly, " what are you doing here?""well what are you doing here?" she asked, obviously trying to get information."What does it look like? I'm taking Ally out for dinner. And the longer you stayhere, the longer she is waiting."

"Well I might want to stay for a couple of years then" I'm usually a gentlemen but Lucinda just pushing me to the edge."Damn it Lucinda! What do you not get about the word OVER. O-V-E-R over!"


15/28

"What can she possibly have that I don't?! huh?! Besides when it's time to takethe throne you are going to need someone who knows how to rule. Not a pathetic human.""Call her pathetic one more time and I will personally make sure that you don'thave a tongue to say it again.""Why not kill me?" She asked smug."Don't tempt me" I growled at her. She immediately lost her smugness. " And she

had everything that you don't have. And when I do take the throne, I need a wife-""Me right?" She asked eager."NO! I'm going to ask Ally!""You don't even know her! And she doesn't even know about you being a prince, avampire, let alone her soulmate!" She hissed."well get over it. Because now that I found her, she isn't going anywhere. And Iwill tell her one day once she stops being afraid.""Well she is going to be a hell of a lot more afraid once you told her.""Shut up!" I hissed. She cringed. "Leave! While you're still alive." She glaredat me then she walked away. I huffed and let out a big breath.I went back to the table where I left her and she wasn't there. I sniffed the ai

r and followed her scent. I just took my time, I knew she was okay, I could feelit. I would know if she was hurt. I found her on the dock, dancing. Lighteningbugs surrounded her, watching her. But she didn't notice. Her eyes were closed,she was smiling, and eventually started to laugh. I couldn't help but think, isit because of me? Is she happy because of me? I hope so.... I quietly stepped out from the tree I was behind. I walked towards her twirling figure. I must've been very distracted by her beautiful figure because I walked right in to her."I...I am so s-sorry I didn't mean to" I frowned, she still I scared of me but at least not as much as before."Don't be. I walked in to you. My apologies" Shock came into her very light blueeyes that they looked gray."umm" She started but I interrupted her." want to dance with me?" I asked her.

" er...umm... sure" She didn't seem scared but more surprised than anything. I took her hand, and wrapped an arm around her waist. She wrapped her other arm around my neck and I bent down and rested my chin on her head. She was so full of warmth, and love... I can barely contain the excitement felt when her body touched mine. Every time I took her hand shocks of love filled me."Have you danced with someone before?"" No I haven't" She responded quietly. I smiled, that was a good thing. I was the first person she danced with. I began our dance. She says she never danced before but she seemed like she danced forever. She was a natural. It wasn't acquired at all, we talked , laughed. Ally really is a great person. We kept dancing until her eyes began to droop, and her breathing began to deepen. I stopped movingand wrapped an arm around her waist. Her head rested against my shoulder and her feet dragged. After I paid at the front, I led her back to the car."You can sleep now." I whispered in her ear. I could tell Ally was scared to sleep, but I couldn't blame her. Not after what she told me about her life. "Im notgoing to hurt you" And I meant every word I said. I can't stand it when she ishurt. When she flinches from pain, or cries from hurt. About ten minutes later ,she was falling asleep with a smile on her face. But before she went under, shemumbled."Thank you for making me happy"When we arrived at the house, I picked her up, bridal style, and carried her into the house. I laid her on the bed, under the covers, and kissed her cheek. Whata beautiful creature I thought to myself. I went back to my room and changed into another shirt and some jeans. On my way back to Ally's room , I ran into ....Lucinda.

"Where are you going honey?" She asked."To Ally's room""Oh, don't bother her. She's asleep"


16/28

"I know, and I'm not going to bother her" She wrapped her arms around my neck and said rather loudly," I enjoyed spending time with you this evening. I hope she was mad that I tookyou away for a few minutes.""Why are you talking so loud?" She just shrugged and kiss my cheek and then walked away back to her room.I just stood there confused, then after a minute I walked into Ally's room. I sa

w that she moved in her sleep...or got out of the bed! Lucinda must have made sure that Ally heard the conversation making it seem that I am with her. I slappedmy palm to my forehead. great dude, just great. Her back was towards me."Ally, I know your awake." I whispered in her ear. She sighed and then opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder. I gave a small smile. Her beautiful light blue eyes met mine. But as I looked into her eyes, the small smile on my lips disappeared. Her eyes were angered, but more sorrow than anything."hey" I said. She gently bit her lip."Hey" I went around the bed so her back wasn't turned to me anymore. We were silent for a few minutes and I could see that she refused to break the silence."You know it's not true" I said confidently while looking in her eyes. She stared back at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" She whispered."You and I both know that's a lie ,darling." I rubbed her cheek with my thumb. She looked down, with a slight blush on her cheeks."I am not, I repeat, am NOT going out with her. She is the last person on Earththat I would even want to think about dating.""She did kiss you on the cheek...""True. But that doesn't mean I wanted her to. I would rather someone else..." Isaid as I lifted her chin up and looked her in the eye. She tried to look away but I held her gaze."So... if you aren't going out with her? Who's the lucky girl?" She asked curious. I could see the soulmate bond taking its toll on her. But of course she didn't realize that. She didn't even know that the soulmate bond exist!"I don't have a girl...but I want one." Her eyes lit up.

"really?" She asked as she sat up in the bed. "Tell me! I want to know! Oh was it the brunette?" it shocked me how...how she just all of a sudden felt so comfortable. Believe me I am glad it just ...shocking. I smiled and said,"She's not a brunette" I got up and sat beside her on the bed, my back supportedby the pillows behind me."Oh...hmm..." her lips went into a frown as she started thinking."A blonde?" I shook my head and continue to gaze at her."Well I can guess later. Right now I'm hungry." I laughed and took her hand."Come one." I led her to the kitchen and pulled out a chair by the counters thatare in the center of the kitchen a sink. She didn't sit down immediately, she just looked around the kitchen. I had to admit, it was pretty cool."What would you like to eat honey?" I asked her."Nothing much. Do you have Ben and Jerry?" she answered."haha I am pretty sure I do. What kind?""I don't know what its called. I only had it once and I had to steal it. .. Hmm...""Can you tell me what it looked or tasted like?""Sure... It was sort of like a cookie but...very cold. And there was little chunks of it in ..what do you call it? Oh yea ice cream! Here was chunks of cold cookies in the ice cream.""I think you like cookie dough" I smiled."Cookie dough? Interesting." I grabbed a carton of Cookie Dough Ben and Jerry and two spoons. I walked over and sat beside her and started to eat of the carton."Here you go" I pushed the carton towards her. She smiled a hungry smile and duginto the carton. I put my spoon down and just watched her go through the ice cr

eam, looking for the cookie dough. When she seemed like she found all of the dough, I took the cartoon and the spoons and put them away. "Want me to tuck you in?" I asked. Even though if she said no I would still go and tuck her in.


17/28

"Yes please. That would be nice" I gently took her hand and led her up to her room."I'm guessing that you're not going to tell me huh?""About..?""About the lucky girl.""You seem mighty interested in it.""I am. Nobody ever tells me anything... I just thought that maybe you will" I st

opped in front of her bedroom door. I lifted my hand and caressed her face."trust me. You will know soon enough" Blood rushed to her face and her cheeks burned."Okay" She whispered. "good night Andrew""Good night darling" She gave a small smile, and slowly pulled away. The bond isgetting strongerI watched her enter her room , then I went to my room and thought about Ally.

Ally's POV

I wonder who the lucky girl is.... I thought to myself. I'm so strangely ...happy around him. Its just a feeling I have around him, like he's pulling me to him.But I must be hallucinating, its probably because I like him. Even though I HATE to admit it I do. Or maybe I don't hate him but, I hate the fact that I like him therefore he has some sort of power over me. As longs as I like him, he willalways have some sort of hold on me. .. And that terrifies me. But wether I likeit or not, I do like him...more than I should. He makes me feel safe, and thatI could just be myself and say what I want and not get a beating... Wait, what is that?I walked over to an unfamiliar door. It was green. I opened it and the sight wasbreath taking. It was a balcony painted green and brown, just like my room. Itwas humongous! I walked over to the edge and settled my hands on the cool bar. Ismiled and went into the bedroom. There has to be a song that can described how

I am feeling. I can remember it in a few minutes...I'm good at memorizing things...if only I can sing it of course.I got onto my laptop that was on the desk and started to look up songs that described how I felt.(after I figured out how to work the internet) That took me a few minutes... but I found a place called ..you tube. I listen to some of the songs but none of them really fit how I felt. But one of them did. Halo. Halo by Beyonce. She sings really good... I went back onto the balcony with the laptop. Isat it on a bench that was in the corner then I started to play the song...

Remember those walls I build?Well baby there tumbling down.And they didn't even put up a fightThey didn't even make a sound.I found a way to let you inBut I never really had a doubtStanding in the light of your haloI got my angel now. . .

I sung my heart out! I had to admit that I'm good at this song too."Aww... how cute. Is that how you feel about Andrew?" I jumped up and turned around. Lucinda was there leaning against the door frame."Please sing it again" She said giving me an evil sound. When I didn't do anything she came towards me."Sing it again or I will throw you over this fucking balcony" She threatened. Ilooked over the balcony. I gulped, that sure is a long way down.... I turned to

the laptop and put the music back on, trembling. Why would she want me to sing again anyway?Remember those walls I build?


18/28

Well baby their tumbling down...I was scared at first but as the song moved on and on... I started thinking of Andrew instead of falling off a balcony. I finished the song and I had a big asssmile on my face. Then all of sudden, my happiness was taken away from me. SLAP!Then came punch after punch....kick after kick. ... drop of blood after drop ofblood. I felt the blood around my head where she punched me, and my stomach where she kicked me. And a throbbing on my face where I was sure I would have a bru

ise at tomorrow morning. I didn't scream at all, because I would get beaten evenharder. All the time she was saying,"He was mine! I don't care if you're his soulmate! He belongs to me! Not you! Ihate you! You're pathetic! Why would he want you! A vampire falling for a human!Gah!" she kept going until I screamed. I had to! It helped me take my mind offthe pain."ALLY!" I heard Andrew yell. Lucinda immediately tried to run but Andrew grabbedher arm. " I. will. Deal. With. You. Later." He said, or more like growled. Sheran out of my room and I heard a door slammed. Andrew tried to pick me up but Icried out in pain."Damn it! I can't even touch you without you being in pain" He hissed. Tears drenched my face making a waterfall.

"Okay Ally, I'm going to pick you up. I know it it's going to hurt but can you just hold on tight?" I nodded. He lifted me up quickly, yet gently and ran to a white room. I couldn't see much else, I was just a little busy with trying to ease the pain. I started to cry softly, it shocked me a little. I would usually just cry in silence. He laid me on a bed that looked like one of those hospital ones. I clutched at my bleeding stomach, and I cried louder. It hurt so bad, why? Ididn't do anything to her...did I? Andrew started to life my dress. He stoppedand gave me a look asking for permission. I nodded, all I wanted was for the pain to stop. He lifted the dress no more than it need to be lifted and then he started to patch me up.Once he was finish, I started to get sleepy...really sleepy..."Let's get you to bed. May I?" He asked holding out his arms. I nodded, it's notlike I really have a choice... He took me upstairs and tucked me in, once again

, that night."Andrew, what was she talking about? About soulmate? And me taking you away fromher? And...and something about a vampire..." His eyes angered slightly."I'll explain later. Right now you need rest. Okay?""Okay""Goodnight my love." For some reason, it didn't shock me. It was like he alwayscalled me that, but it still makes me jump with joy."Goodnight" I said as I touched his face "thanks for helping me""Anytime" Then he kissed my forehead, then my cheek. I was hoping for more, butmy hope was crushed when he pulled away. He then laid beside me on the bed."Aren't you going to bed?""No. I don't know what Lucinda will do...""Oh. Okay then." I didn't mind, I wanted him to stay with me tonight. Tonight and the many nights after that. wait. No. you can NOT like him any more than you already do! You..you just cant! I took a deep breath and then fell asleep besideAndrew.Ally's POVI yawned as I awoke this morning. I slowly opened my eyes to see Andrew staringat me with a loving expression. I smiled at him, but my smile was erased when Isaw Lucinda enter the room." Andrew" she said softly. I saw Andrew's expression change from loving to hatred as I stared at her. Then everything came back to me. Me on the balcony, Lucinda threatening me and hurting me, Andrew voice yelling my name... and Andrew tucking me in. But what I remember most of all, was what Lucinda said to me."He was mine! I don't care if you're his soulmate! He belongs to me! Not you! I

hate you! You're pathetic! Why would he want you! A vampire falling for a human!Gah!" I looked at Andrew with accusing eyes, and he stared back at me with a frown on his face.


19/28

"I will explain, just let me deal with something first. You can explore the house if you would like to, this might take awhile" I nodded and watched him and Lucinda walk out of the room.I slowly got out of bed and went to take a shower. It stung a little but it wasn't too bad. After I finish showering, I went to the closet and put some clotheson. I had gray baggy sweatpants and a red camisole. I didn't bother putting shoes on. I then went to the balcony and looked down. Shivers went down my spine as

I closed my eyes, thinking of what could've been. I opened my eyes again, and gasped. I didn't see it last night, it was too dark. But now...it was beautiful. There was a garden... with animals. From what I can see, there was all kinds of flowers with bees, birds, ponds with ducks, frogs, and another wide open field beside the beautiful garden. There was a farm beside that, cows, pigs, chickens...Then there was dogs going from place to place.I quickly turned and went out the bedroom door. Andrew and Lucinda wasn't there,so I went downstairs. I looked around me. hmmm... which way to go? That is thefront door so...maybe ...this way! I turned to the door and opened it. I was right! And the garden was even more beautiful than it was from the balcony, and that is saying something. I was right about there being all kinds of flowers, treessurrounded little gardens, but you can easily get through them with the wide sp

aces between one tree and another. Birds pecking at trees, and fruits. Cows mooing and pigs onking in the distance.Woof! Woof! I looked down startled. It was a little dog, no wait. A BIG dog. Very, very big, it was half my height! Which is 5'0 feet.Woof! He looked like he was about kill somebody. He was very angry, maybe this was his garden... He walked around me in a circle, and soon other dogs came alongand did the same. Each dog looked different, yet they all looked furious. I'm guessing the first dog I met is the leader. But I can't blame them for being mad..., they might think I am a threat to their young ones. They all started to sniff me, then they all backed away, making a path. There sure was a lot of dogs.

Andrew's POV"Lucinda. I have told you time and time again, to NOT touch her. You're lucky yo

u get to even be in the same house with her!""I'm sorry""No your not. ..But you will be""No wait please!""I'm not going to kill you. Yet. If you do it again that will be a different story." She breathed a sigh of relief."But I am going to have to punish you'""Why?!""1. She is my soulmate, mess with her and your messing with me. 2. She is the future Queen of this kingdom therefore either I give you the punishment or my father. And 3rd, if you go without a punishment, then you will do again , and I can't allow it." She had tears in her eyes now, and her face radiated fear. I took her arm and pulled her downstairs to the basement where the punishment room was.There was punisher there, shining up his tools."Punish her""What kind sir?" I smiled." you choose. But not death. Not yet anyways""Yes sir."

Ally's POVAt the end of the path was a little puppy. He was so cute! But I knew better than to even go to him with all the dogs around me. Then I felt myself being pushed. I turned around and the first dog had his nose on my back pushing me. I guesshe wanted me to walk. So I started to will my legs to go forward. I stopped whenthe pressure on my back was released. The little puppy walked the rest of the w

ay towards which was a foot. I looked down into its adorable blue eyes and his stared back at me. Then after a few minutes he barked with a smile on his face then he jumped on me and licked my face.


20/28

It hurt but I started to laugh and pet him. I mean who could resist?his fur wasblack and short and his bark was high pitch. He slowly got off of me, I sat up.The first dog, came up to me with a smile, and started to lick me. I was laughing so hard that my stomach started to bleed. But when that happened I started coughing. The two dogs got off of me, and whimpered. I too, got up and started to walk around again. I didn't really mind the bleeding, it wasn't that bad. It wasjust a little cut. I wandered through the garden, ponds and fields. The two dogs

followed me, while the others spread out through the place.I was walking down a path, when I felt someone stop. I turned around, and the little dog was watching the other dogs play with a ball. I guess he wants to play.I thought to myself. I walked over to him and kneeled down."Go ahead. You can go and play. You don't have to stick with me." The puppy smiled and licked my face and then went running off to where the other puppies were.When the saw him running their way, they ran towards and they all started to play. I turned around and started to walk again. About 10 minutes later, I found alittle pond. Surrounded by trees that had apples and oranges. There were two birds in the trees singing a little tune and a duck with 5 duckies following her."So beautiful" I whispered. I then sat beside the pond, in the cool summer day.Part of the sun showed through the tall green trees, giving the flowers that sur

rounded the pond, sunlight.What's your name girl? a strange voice said. I turned around, but the only otherthing there was the dog. I looked at him and he smirked."Did you just say something?" I asked the dog, feeling like a complete idiot while doing so.Maybe...maybe notHe did say something...or maybe I'm just losing it. ..Your not losing it. I can read your mind human. Not tell me, what's your name?My name is Ally. May I ask yours?Nice to meet you Ally, princess of the wolves. My name is Edgar. I stared at himhorrified. Princess? Wolves? I started to panic. My breathing came in and out quicker, and my skin began to sweat. I felt the my blood washing through me in every direction, and my brain scrambled for solutions on what to do.

Hey. Calm down kid.What are you talking about?Well..hmm..how to put this. When the youngest of the pack finds someone, wetherthey're human or not, that they...like. They become the princess of the wolves.Don't' worry, its not like you have to marry a wolf or anything. I mean-Well can't you like someone else?Pshh! Us wolves don't like ANYBODY! Except for our masters and the princess, butother than that. No we don't like anybody or anything. And we cant serve someone we don't like, and we like you, therefore you are the princess.Why I am not running? Why do I feel so calm all of a sudden? What is going on?!You aren't freaking out because you are the princess and blah blah blah. You can't freak out because its natural to you so...you just can't freak out. Look thisis hard to explain. The bottom line is , you are the princess of the wolves, weare loyal to you, we will protect you, and do anything for you, okay? So you'resort of like the leader!Okay...I think I understand.Good. And if you start getting these weird voices, and thoughts in your head. Orwhat seem like flashbacks from another era, then don't freak out. Its just yourpowers kicking in. you have got to be kidding me. Powers?!Every princess has powers.What's mine?Well, you have all the strength of the pack, and mind reading, and talking intoother people's minds. It may not seem much but I asure you that it all comes inhandy.That cool!

Haha I thought you would say that. Well, now, lets see...oh yes. There will always be protection around you. Even at night, there will be some sort of group onthe look out. And here is the best part.

about wolves and princesses? I don't think I'm going anywhere. If I could handlethat I think I can handle this""Promise" He commanded, with his jaw tight."I promise""here it goes."Wow. My soulmate? I stopped walking on the path that I was on with Andrew. His hands were in his pockets, ...but I didn't want them there. I looked up at him an

d met his blue eyes. Vampire? But I suppose in a world of werewolves , you haveto have vampires. But what about all the people at the mall? And Lucinda? Out ofall people why must it be me? I don't think it's a bad thing but, what if he cheats on me? I'm don't want to fall for someone who is going to hurt me. Did he just picked me because I'm easy?And what is up with this soulmate bond thing? I slowly slid to the ground and sat on my butt gently. Andrew came and sat beside me, still not touching me. Did Ido something wrong? I don't remember doing anything wrong, so what's his problem?"I guess you have a lot of questions." he assumed."Soulmate?" I whispered."Yes"

"You must have made a mistake. . . A girl like me doesn't' have a soulmate.""Yes she does. Me""What exactly is a soulmate?" He looked me straight in the eyes."You know what it is.""No, I don't""You will soon enough" I looked away from his gaze, but I still felt his eyes onme."Why did you pick me?" I asked quietly."We can't pick our soulmate. It's more like,....fate picks it for us." Fate? AndAndrew still hasn't touched me. ...and it was bugging me now. So I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I honestly don't think he is lying at all...I feel...connected to him. His arms are wrapped around me, I smiled. About time. I thought.

" Would you like to go dancing with me? As my date?" I felt cool sweet his breath on my hair. He just asked me out on a date? Oh my god! My first date!! But what if I say no... but I don't want to say no... but what about Lucinda? She saidsomething about taking him away for a few minutes that night he took me out fordinner."Are we going to be interrupted? ""huh?""Lucinda""I don't think you're going to see her anytime soon..." I looked up at him."Why not?"" I had to punish her.""oh- what? Punish?""She hurt you, and she would've continued if she went without punishment""Punishment?" That sounded like something a ...king would say...no! By the lookon my face I could tell that he knew I knew."Prince or King?" I asked."Prince...soon to be King" I looked down. Doesn't that mean you have to marry aprincess? I know I'm princess of the wolves but... is that enough? I guess we wont be together for too long...so why be together at all? I Pulled out of his arms and put my head on my hands that were on my knees the were cuddled to my chest."Did I do something...?" He asked. I shook my head."I'm tired, I'm going to go bed." I said quickly."Do you even know your way back?" he asked."Edgar" I called. He was by my side in a flash. "take me to my room?"

Yes Princess he bowed his head and started walking. I walked behind him, following him back to the ...'house' You could ride if you wantThanks but I'm already enough trouble.


23/28

Okay let me put it this way. You are going to ride. I laughed and sat on his back. I know he didn't mean it, he's just looking out for me...He sat me down on my bed."thank you" I said. I wonder why Andrew didn't come and get me yet...Goodnight Princess then he walked out of my room and to outside. I took a shower, then I changed into a silk nightgown dress. It also had a silk robe to match it, I put it on and walked out to the balcony. I looked over the edge, and saw El

lan and Edgar. They looked up and smiled, I waved to them then looked at the sky. After about 15minutes, I decided I should get back inside. I turned around andscreamed. Edgar and Ellan jumped upon the balcony. Princess?"Just got scared. I'm fine" They nodded then jumped off the balcony and onto thegrass."I guess your powers didn't fully kick in yet." Andrew said."you scared me." I whispered breathing hard."Sorry... I thought you heard me because of your powers but they didn't come infull affect yet.""Oh" I looked away from him. Every time I look at him I think of some other girlon his side.I imagined a pretty brunette at his side, and him looking at her with love in hi

s eyes telling her how much he loves her."Well good night." I whispered, then I took off towards my bed, but before I made it there, Andrew was in my way. I tried to step around him but he just steppedin front of me again."I have to get to bed" I mumbled looking at the ground."I know" I waited for him to move out of the way but he didn't." Excuse me" I said. I looked up at him, but he didn't seem like he was going tomove. I looked back down at the ground."Excuse me sir" I saw his body tensed."Ally-""I'm really tired" He gently took my chin and made me look up at him."what's wrong? Did I say something?" I shook my head."Is it because I'm a vampire?" He asked hurt.

"No....it's not that" His body relaxed,"then what is it?""nothing" I shrugged."It's something. Tell me." He held my chin higher, forcing me to look up at himin the eye. "Tell me""well...""Yes?"" If you're a prince, then that means you have to marry a princess...""That may be true in books, but not here. I can marry whoever I want." He said looking at me in the eye."oh.""Better?""Much. Thanks for clearing that up""Anytime." He said while kissing my forehead. I smiled then walked around him, he actually let me get around this time, and got in bed. He came and tucked me in, and whispered a good night then walked out the room. I rolled over and closedmy eyes. I couldn't go to sleep, I was to happy. A few minutes later I felt someone wrap their arms around me. Andrew, I knew his arms anywhere. He pressed hischeek to mine, and whispered,"You never did tell me your answer""To what?" I whispered."Our date" I smiled,"Yes" Then I rolled over and cuddled into his chest while his arms tightened around me. Then I fell asleep, with a smile on my face. And I had a feeling this smile was actually going to last.

"Wake up hon. Come on, time to wake up. I made breakfest." I moaned and rolled over pulling the covers with me. I am NOT leaving these warm covers behind. I refused to. I am soooooo tired!! I've never been this tired. Why am I this tired? I

didn't go to bed late."Let me sleep""No""come on.... Just give me...a couple more years. .""haha I don't think so." I moaned again and ducked my head under a pillow. ThenI felt arms around my waist, pulling me up. I groaned again and as he put me over his shoulder, I didn't let go of the blanket. He put me over his shoulder and

I felt my silk nightgown rise a little. Then he started walking and my arms dangling down his back, but my hands holding on to the pillow and a blanket. I felthim go downstairs, and walk into what I think was the kitchen. He sat me down atthe table and immediately my head hit the table. But as soon as my head did that I flew up out of shock and fell out of the chair."Ow." I whispered. I tried to get up but failed. I just wrapped the blanket around me and laid my head on the pillow with my body there on the floor, going backto sleep."Are you that tired?" He asked me. I just groaned in response. That was all I was doing today, gaining a concussion and groaning."Come on sweetheart," I heard him mumble, " I'll take you back to bed." He gathered me in his arms, me clutching onto the pillow and blanket, and took me back u

pstairs. He sat me in a chair, and took the blanket and pillow."Hey" I whimpered, with tears in my eyes. What is wrong with me? I'm scaring myself! He threw the stuff on the floor and put his hands on either sides of my face."It's okay. Im just going to make the bed, so then you can sleep as long as youneed to okay?""Okay" I whispered. He quickly made the bed, then he came and picked me up, I held on to his shirt tightly. He tucked me under the covers. My head was getting all fuzzy."What happening to me?" I asked scared. I haven't let Andrew out of my grasp, Iwanted him to stay with me. I know I'm selfish but I don't care, I want him to here with me."Your senses are kicking in." Oh, yea the wolf princess thing.

"Stay." I demanded with my words slurring."You want me to?""Yes" I said quietly."Then I will" And with that I fell asleep.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * ** *I had a terrible headache. I thought this wasn't suppose to hurt because I am the princess? Or maybe that was just for the becoming a princess part...I don't know, I can't remember. I rolled over and THUMP! If I'm not mistaking, I think I hit the floor."I'm gone for exactly 2 seconds and you're on the floor?" Andrew's voice filledthe room. I didn't say anything, this headache was killing me! Good grief!"It hurts" I whisper in pain. My back arched as the pain shot from my head to myback."I think I can help" But I barely heard him, the pain was too much. I saw him make the bed out of the corner of my eye and then he picked me up and laid me on the bed stomach down."Just make it stop" I whispered. If I were to say anything any louder I would beyelling....screaming. He took my shirt off. If it was any other day, I would'veobjected but I know he wouldn't try anything. Especially since I'm not ready, and its not like he's seeing anything.Then I felt his fingers going up and down my back, in little circles with the perfect amount of pressure. I relaxed after a few minutes."Is this better?""Yea" I sighed. Then all of a sudden I started to feel sleepy again. His hands p

ut the shirt back on me, and tucked me in once more. "I'm tired of being tired."I mumbled. He chuckled,"You won't be this tired anymore after this time" He said getting beside me in t

he bed. "Go to sleep and I'll be here when you wake up, then you can get ready for our date." I smiled slightly and fell into a deep sleep ...again.Andrew's POVShe doesn't even know how beautiful she is, with and without a shirt. I got outof the bed and went downstairs to get a glass of water for her for when she wakes up. I sat the glass of water beside her bed, and I opened up a window. It wasgetting stuffy in here. Then I took a shower and changed clothes. I'm taking All

y out to get a dress, even though I know she has plenty, I love pampering her.I went back into her bedroom and laid beside her. 5...4...3...2...1,"Andrew..." She mumbled."hey"Ally's POV"Andrew?""Hey" I turned over and found myself cradling into his chest. I felt wide awakenow, like today is the perfect day, which I hope it is."Can I get ready for my date now?" He laughed."Yes I would like that very much. So get dress, I'm taking you shopping." I smiled, I think I'm actually starting to like this 'shopping' thing."Shopping...you say?" He laughed at my expression.

" Yes.""Okay, well I'll be ready in 30 minutes tops.""Alright." He said leaving out the room. I hurried and took a 15 minute shower and then got dresses. I had a black tshirt on, with silver splattered dots on thefront. And some jeans and what people call, 'converse'. I like them! I grabbedmy purse from Andrew and hopped downstairs."Got everything?" He asked once I got downstairs."Yes" Then he took my hand and led me to the car...or limo. We talked a little on the way there, but other than that not much. I got out of the car, still afraid of this place. I may not be afraid of Andrew, but I certainly was of everyoneand everything here. I hope my parents wasn't here. But little did I know, thatnot all wishes come true.

"Okay, find a dress, jewelry, and stuff here. Just call me when your done. I won't be far." Andrew told me, as he led me to a Che Fun Dela store."Then go ....shopping afterwards? Please?" I asked."Of course" he said laughing, " I have to introduce you to my sister.""You have a sister?""Yes I do. Two actually. They both love shopping."" Cant wait to meet them" I said nervously. I would love to meet his family, butI'm nervous... what would they think of me? Me being me and the wolf princess?Hmm....."I'm sure they will love you, you will meet them soon enough. But for now...""shopping" I squealed jumping up and down. Then I went into the store with the biggest smile on my face. But wait...how was I suppose to pay for this?Look in your wallet Andrew's voice whispered in my head. I looked in my wallet and wala! What do you call these things again? Oh yea, credit cards! I think I'mgoing to like this new friend of mine. I looked around the store for awhile after receiving a.... wonderful greeting. *note the sarcasim*Then that is when I found it. Nice and elegant. Brown silk, strapless, with a pink ribbon around the waist. And some very cute shoes with it too. (cant really describe it so...here is the pic of the shoes and dress http://www.dcnearlyweds.com/lz.jpg ) I want it. I bought the dress, but nothing else. I'm going to wear the necklace that Andrew gave me, along with the earrings and bracelet. I was walking out the store about to call Andrew, when suddenly a painful grip wrapped around my waist. I whimpered."Shut up" A familiar voice... way to familiar."dad?" The grip on my waist tightened.

"Sir to you, Now come on and act like your with me or I will kill you in a second." I nodded. I looked down into my purse, my phone was right there. But, couldn't I take him on? I should have the pack's strength....

physical but...emotional. I found myself walking towards him. He held out a hand, I looked at it for a second. Then I took it. The pull I felt gained even morestrength, as Andrew started to lead the way towards the car waiting for us outside."Thank you. For everything, but you...have got to stop spoiling me." I told himwhen we were in the car driving away. I played with the dress I was wearing whenI said 'spoiling me'.

" your welcome. But... I can't promise you that I will stop hon." I laughed,"I guess I have to keep you in check huh?""Yes. I guess you have to" His hand squeezed mine as he said this. A little while later we arrived at the restaurant."Table for two" He said to a red head. She had green eyes and pretty good tan."yes Mr. Philips" She led us to a table with a single candle and a single rose.Except the rose was blue, so is it still a rose? It looked like one..."Thanks" I said as he pulled out a chair for me, then he took a seat himself. Tonight was just like the other night. He brought me to a little dancing area, andwe danced and talked, while he continued to threatened people about losing their jobs if they don't treat me right. But tonight, we weren't interrupted, it wasjust me and him.

"ready to go dancing?" He asked."Sure." I said nervously."What's wrong?" he asked as he paid the waitress."I don't really...know how to dance"" I think you do. You just don't know it." he took my hand and led us back to the car. A good 10 minutes later we were at a beautiful place. It was outside dancing. And, of course since it's the summer, there were fireflies surrounding theplace. Couples dancing swiftly, yet gracefully. Some in expensive evening gowns,others in jeans and shirts. There were cute little children sanding together too. There were round, wood tables surrounding the dance floor."Come on, lets dance" I felt the emotional pull, strengthen as he pulled me to the dance floor.

The young night surrounded us as he led us onto the dance floor. He ,of course,began the movements of emotions. I never once, looked at my feet, I was to caught up in Andrew's eyes. Once the dance we had was over, he led me back to a table. Then everything was like usual, exciting, happy, just...being us I guess you can say. By the end of the date, I was worn out, not as worn out as last time, but worst. I wanted to walk but I couldn't, so Andrew carried me to the car, whereI fell into a deep, welcoming sleep.***********************************************************Ally's Father POV"That son of a bitch! She with some...some rich ass punk! I didn't even get a chance to robbed the god damn place!" I yelled at Ally's mother, Mare.(pronouncedMa-ray)"You saw her huh?""Hell yea I saw her!""With...with a man?""yes!""Well...where is she?""I don't know...but, I sent one of my men to follow them after the scene at themall""Alright. What you gonna do when you get her?""Beat the hell out of her, yell at her, have my type of fun with her" Mare nodded. That's what I like about this woman. She always gives me what I want.Andrew's POVThe evening went great besides the fact that one of Ally's dad's men were following us. I hadn't had the chance to kill him yet, but there was no need. He didn'

t see anything. Hopefully he wont so I wont have to kill him. He was one of theinnocent ones, that had nothing to do with what happened to Ally. He actually tried saving her once, but only ended up having his own daughter slaughtered in fr

My cheeks flamed and I am pretty sure that my face wasas hot as fire.Umm I said.You like? He said laughing.
