The Broken

Mother died when I was young, no one would tell me what happened and how she died, they all would just smile and tell me she was a wonderful woman and was the most beautiful woman they ever met. I never understood why they wouldn't give me an answer, it made me very curious to what our whole pack was hiding from me. But every time I would get close to something or find something, my Father King Uzziah would step in the way, which made me more suspicious. But soon I gave up and let it go, or at least as far as everyone else thought. I was in my room laying in bed wondering if I would ever be happy if anyone would ever fall in love with a White Wolf who doesn't even blend with them nor with the regular wolves. I had long white hair like the White Wolves, also pale skin like them, but out of all the things that had to be different that I cant really hide are my eyes, my left eye is green and my right eye is blue. I always wondered what happened if the Goddess meant for me to look like this and be different. I shook my head and decided to get out of bed and go downstairs to grab food, I put my robe on and walked to the door and sighed. "Here I go" I told myself preparing for the questions and uproar of my Step-Mother Jessabelle, I walked down the stairs and saw no one was down there yet, went into the kitchen and starting making scrambled eggs and bacon for everyone. I started to finish up when I turned around and saw my Step-Mother and Father walking into the room, I stuck the food on the table and started to place the plates for everyone at the table than placed food on my own plate and set the rest on the table for everyone to help themselves. Jessabelle sighed and looked at me like I did something wrong "Ombre, why is your hair such a mess? and do you have to walk around in a robe?" She rolled her eyes as she sat in the chair across from my Father. I hesitated and was about to answer when my two big brothers walked into the room and smiled at me as they sat down to eat breakfast, they always tell me that I am a great cook and that they are really grateful for my cooking. I wish everyone in this house thought that. Amell smiled at all the bacon and scrambled eggs "Ombre you always out do yourself! goodness this looks amazing thank you." He smiled and laughed at his Mothers face expression. Angus also smiled at me and thanked me with a nod, I always wondered why they where so nice and there Mother was so rude. I never understood it at all, I started to relax until I heard my Half-Sisters talking and coming this way. I have four Half-Sisters who I despise my Father for having, they are rude and stuck up and think that they are better than everyone. I grabbed my plate and some juice real quick and started to take off upstairs when my Father cleared his throat and I froze. He sat in his chair and looked at me "Ombre, don't forget you need to go to the store and grab some things for your birthday tonight and for the signing over your rights to your Mothers kingdom and money." he smiled at me like I was just a piece of dirt on his shoe, I turned to look at him as he stared me down "Also, you will marry Atticus tomorrow, Ombre." He went back to talking to everyone at the table like I didn't need to saying anything at all. Angus and Amell both looked at me with what seemed like pity in there eyes they know how there friend Atticus could be he was rough with every woman he comes by and cruel and dark, granted he is handsome but he will definitely not allow me to take back my kingdom he is always on my Fathers side. He already pushes me around and tells me what to do my heart starts to quicken and that's when I turned around ran upstairs packed a bag for the gym, while adding in some stuff to escape before tomorrow or during the wedding at least before I say I do. I got dressed in short shorts for exercising and a tank top and packed my bag with other things in it and stuck in a extra bag inside just so I can put it all in that and hide it, probably around my moms grave that's heading towards the Vampires direction but that's the only area they wont follow me and at this moment I rather die than live another life time under these circumstances. I grabbed my stuff and walked downstairs, my family was chilling in the living room, I hurried to the door and opened it and closed it trying to avoid my Step-Mother and Father. I sighed, *Why cant my life be normal, why cant I have parents that love me for me. Was I that much of a mistake.* I took off running to my moms grave and put the bag and my extra stuff right there and than decided to go shopping before I went to the gym. I walked into the mall and went and found something for later when I saw Vanadeen, one of my friends, well only friend, I laughed at myself. I walked over to Vanadeen who was looking at some clothes like they where going somewhere. I stopped next to her "Hey, girly. You wanna help me find an outfit for my Birthday tonight?" I tried to smile about it, but in my heart I was freaking out like no other. She looked up at me and hesitated "you mean that party, you don't wanna have?" she laughed as I scrunched up my nose. "But as your best friend, I will definitely help you sense I never thought you would ask me that." She smiled and put back the stuff she was looking at. I followed her around and we talked and laughed as everything that was about to happen wasn't dragging me down, like I wasn't about to be bullied into signing some dumb papers tonight, and than tomorrow marry Dice. I groaned don't get me wrong he's hot but he hates me, like hardcore hates me and it hurts a little because, I wanna be loved and bonded to my significant other. I wanna be able to be me. I was so caught up in my head that I didn't realize until it was to late and I collided right into my worse nightmare. Dice. I groaned as I hit the floor, "son of a b***h" I looked up and saw Dice, I stood up quickly and backed right into Vanadeen, I felt my body tense up when his two close friends sneered at me. "I-I am so sorry Dice..." I tried to go the other direction but his friend Jeff got in my way and Josiah laughed at me. Dice looked at me with a blank stare than grabbed me roughly and slammed me into him ignoring the pain I cried out "Well, well if it isn't my little w***e, I tried to push him away from me but he just yanked my hair back really hard. I groaned as the pain shot through my body and tears threatened to spill down "please, Dice, let me go, I am sorry.." tears spilled down my face as I pleaded with him to let me go. Vanadeen stepped forward to try and help me "Just let her go you big..." She squealed as Josiah grabbed her and held her. She looked at me and you could see the pity in her eyes. Dice, laughed and yanked my face towards him and did the worse thing he could do he kissed me, I tried to pull away but I couldn't, I was actually enjoying it or at least my body was. I shoved him as hard as I could, that he just let go and laughed at me as I fell back and smacked my head on the ground. I shot up and slapped him as hard as I could without thinking about what I just did. after my hand collided with his face I realized what I just did and stepped back right into Jeff, he grabbed me, I yelped as he grabbed me really rough and I saw the anger in Dices eyes. I tried to fight against Jeff but didn't succeed, Dice stepped up into my face and a cruel smile crossed it. He stared at me "Ombre." He yanked me right out of Jeff's arms and slammed me against him, I yelped again this time his knee was out and hit me really hard to the point I would have doubled over if it wasn't for him holding me. This time tears spilled even more down my cheek. He yanked my chin up "look at me Ombre!" he growled at me. I didn't have a choice but to look at him, I tried to, through the tears but I couldn't look him in the eyes. He growled again and this time his hand went across my face, I yelped, and more tears fell I tried to get out of his grip but he wasn't budging. I started hitting him trying to get him to let go and he hit me harder to where he let go and I fell to the ground my face was bleeding from the impact of his hit. He crouched down and grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked as hard as he could, he pressed his lips on mine and than pulled away and whispered in my ear "Don't you ever fight me, little girl, or next time I wont be as nice." He slammed my face on the ground and left. Josiah let Vanadeen go and walked off laughing, as she flipped him off. Vanadeen crouched down, "Ombre are you okay?" tears sprung to her eyes as I didn't budge. "Ombre!" she grabbed her phone from her back pocket and dialed numbers. "Amell, this is Vanadeen, its Ombre she's hurt we are at the mall." she hung up the phone and turned me over "Ombre, please wake up!" she begged. I groaned and tried to blink my eyes open to adjust to the light, I looked around and noticed I was still in the mall. "What happened?" I looked at Vanadeen, but before she could respond I saw Amell and Angus running towards us. I groaned again "why are they here?" I sighed. Vanadeen sighed "I called them, but in my defense, you wouldn't wake up." she hesitated and looked at Amell and Angus "thank you for coming they hurt her bad this time." she frowned. Amell sighed "What the H**l happened Ombre..." he stopped and sniffed me and than the air and growled "Dice!" he stood up and started to walk towards the way Dice came while Angus tried cleaning all the blood off of me from the rags that he brought. Yeah its not the first time they have done this to me, but every time this happens it gets worse. I shot up and went after Amell "please you will only make it worse, look I am healed please, Amell!" I ran in front of him trying to push him back but all he did was stop and look at me, than walked around me. "Amell please, I beg of you!" He ignored me, Angus caught up to me and saw why I was frozen, sitting a few feet from us was Dice, Jeff and Josiah and Aphrodite, Lilith and Malainia. Amell grabbed Dice by his shirt and glared at him "If you EVER lay your filthy hands on my sister again I will KILL YOU! do I make myself clear." He waited till he got a nod from Dice and than chucked him back in his seat, than he turned his Alpha powers on everyone else "THAT INCLUDES ALL OF YOU!" He glared at all of them and than turned to look at me. "Ombre, you wanna say anything?" he looked at me with soft eyes. I shook my head and ran off with Vanadeen tears running down my face as I tried to escape them all. I finally stopped when I knew I was away from everyone. I sat down on the bench and put my face in my hands as tears slid down my face uncontrollably. I felt someone put there hand on me, I refused to look all I could do was cry. "Ombre, I am so sorry I wish I could have helped, but please stop crying." she sighed as she watched me. I tried to hold back all my tears but the pain of all this was to much and that's when I knew I had to leave tonight. I finally wiped my tears and looked up at Vanadeen and started to laugh hysterically. "I have to leave" I laughed even harder, Vanadeen just stared at me like I wasn't speaking English anymore "I have to leave if I don't they will force me to marry Dice, I cant marry him I cant Vanadeen." I smiled and laughed "I am leaving tonight, I have to Vanadeen." I stopped laughing and sighed as I looked her in her eyes trying to read her. Vanadeen sighed "Your right, as much as I would hate to loose my best friend but your right." she looked at me and smiled "I support you, and believe your right." She started to laugh when we heard a deep voice behind us. "What is she right about?" Amell and Angus walked over to us looking at me and than Vanadeen, waiting for us to answer there question. Vanadeen cleared her throat and before I could stop her, she blurted everything out. "Ombre is gonna run away tonight and never come back so she doesn't have to marry Dice, tomorrow.." she smiled and looked at them and than at me and realized I was glaring at her. I looked away from her and sighed "really! Vanadeen, you call yourself my bestfriend and than go and blurt it out to MY two OLDER BROTHERS!" I snapped at her and stood up and backed away from Amell and Angus, thinking they where gonna be mad at me. Angus started to laugh really hard "Its cute when you think we are gonna get mad and get you in trouble. But I am in, I'll help you." he smiled at me and than looked at Amell. Amell sighed "I will also help you." we all cheered and I hugged them both "But, we have to be careful Ombre after you sign that paper and you try to escape you will be known as a Rogue Wolf. So we all are gonna have to play this cool and I hope you also, know the risk you are taking." he eyed me waiting for a response. I smiled and looked at him "What's the worse that could happen, that hasn't happened to me yet? Death I will welcome any day, but I have to run, I cant be with him I wanna find my mate. I also, already have a plan the less who knows the better all I need is a distraction, before I sign those papers." I sighed and that's when I looked up at all three and they all where smiling and that's when I knew they had my back. Angus looked at me for a second "Did you find your outfit you at least need to play the part and you need to hurry because it is now noon almost one." I squealed and grabbed Vanadeen and pulled her a long with me. as we walked away all I heard was my brothers laughing at me. As we where walking we went past this short sparkly plain dress and I froze "This one, Vanadeen, its perfect!." I squealed and ran into the store and grabbed my size and went and tried it on and fell in love it made my hair and my eyes pop out. After trying it on I bought it and than bought some black flats, and than went and bought some makeup to go with it and than went and got my hair done where they curled my hair and left it down all the way down to my back. I decided I wouldn't make it to the exercise room here in the mall so I just grabbed everything grabbed some flowers and told Vanadeen goodbye, it was a longer goodbye due to the fact that she wont see me after this and than I walked all the way back to my moms head stone and set the flowers down tears welling in my eyes knowing that this was my last time ever seeing her marked grave. I finally said goodbye and walked home. I walked inside and was grabbed by my Father "WHERE THE H**L HAVE YOU BEEN, OMBRE? Your signing starts soon it is now 5pm and you walk in now! where were you!?" Before I could react or answer my Father slapped me hard across the face. Before he could hit me again someone had grabbed his arm. "DONT YOU DARE HIT HER AGAIN!" Angus and Amell growled at him, my father put his hand down and stormed off without a word knowing that if he tried to fight them he wouldn't win and he would loose Jessabelle's pack. Amell reached his hand out and helped me up "You should probably go get ready Ombre." he smiled and they both walked away from me. I ran to my room and jumped into the cold bath and very carefully washed myself without ruining my hair and than realized I tasted blood in my mouth and frowned, I finished scrubbing myself and than got out of the cold water and finished getting dressed and than did my makeup after I was done, I stood looking into the mirror and realized how beautiful I looked for once I didn't look a mess or all bloody I looked perfect. I smiled at myself and than frowned as I looked at my eyes the one thing that is different that I can never get used to, the one thing I get made fun of a lot. It broke my heart to think the Gods and Goddesses weren't on my side at all. I turned away from the mirror and headed down stairs so my Father and Step-Mother could look me over and tell me everything I already know sign the paper don't forget to smile while doing it make it look like you want to be there, Blah blah blah. I felt my heart skip as I remembered my plan to run away and started to fear crossing into Vampire territory but knew anything was better than here. My Father and Step-Mother both bombarded me the minute I was downstairs. My Step-Mother looked me up and down and smiled, I believe that's the first time I have genuinely seen her smile at me. She touched my hair and tears came to her eyes "You look beautiful, absolutely beautiful, doesn't she Uzziah, she doesn't look like a mess like she normally does." After she said the last part I thought theirs my mean Step-Mother always has to say something criticizing. My Father looked me up and down as I looked him in the eyes I swear I saw tears "You look so much like your Mother." Next thing I knew he walked away from me and went to a different room. Angus and Amell walked up to me "Well look here she can dress like a girl, Angus!" Amell laughed at me "Your right she can and doesn't she look more stunning than anything you have ever seen." Angus laughed even harder. I rolled my eyes at my twin brothers and they looked at there Mother "see mom I told you she could be a girl, and you didn't believe me." Jessabelle raised her hands to hit them when they both took off, I started to laugh as they ran and Jessabelle turned and winked at me. I looked at her and hesitated trying to figure out why she's being so nice "Why are you being nice to me?" I blurted it out before I could even think about what just came out of my mouth, I quickly looked down at my hands knowing she could see the fear in my eyes. We stood there for what seemed awhile and she finally answered "because for once you actually showed me you can act like a woman and not dress like a man and tonight you will make the right decision Ombre, I just wanted you to be a woman but you always seemed to do the opposite of what I wanted and it hurt me. Also, I accept that you are not mine, I was jealous of you because you weren't mine, come follow me." She led me outside to the dock away from any ear shot. "Ombre, you need to runaway! I was cruel because of your Father if I wouldn't have listened I would end up like your Mother." she heled up her before I could speak "Listen to me and listen to me carefully, your Father is a monster who will do anything for power, one of the reasons I am still alive is because of Angus and Amell. You need to escape Ombre, I know I have been cruel but trust me and I already know you are planning to run tonight, your brothers told me and I agree. Run and never look back Ombre." She leaned in and kissed me on my head and ran back to the house afraid that Father would catch her out here telling me everything, finally I understood and my Heart Broke as tears sprang to my eyes.
