His Mortal Mate

CHAPTER 6

Elisa

I wake up feeling so happy and refreshed despite sleeping for only few hours, I had the most wonderful night in a long while. Ethan made my night wonderful, his care and concern helped me a lot. I prepare myself for school and take a quick breakfast bite. Before heading out, I take a pain killer to help me endure my walk and stay in class.

I walk smiling all the way to school. I feel so alive and light, unfortunately my happiness is only limited. I see my savior 'doctor' Ethan approaching me, I never knew he went to the same school, though when I am near him he walks away pretending he doesn't know me. I am left smiling alone. My smile turns to sadness immediately. I hear people whispering and laughing while pointing at me. What is happening. I look around confused as the whole school is focused on me. I look at the rear end and I see Alpha and his boy puppets laughing too. But he has the widest grin.

I decide to just ignore everyone and I limp to the class.I take a front seat, because of my height and I always love paying attention to the teacher. In a little while it's class time. People start storming in class. To my surprise they all seem to seat away from me. The chairs around me are avoided by everyone, some even seem to be seated in twos. Why do they have to treat me as if I was not a human being. I feel a hot tear stream down my face. Even the person who helped me last night, who I thought would be my friend treated me as a stranger. It hurts, it really hurts. Another tear streams.

“ Oh! Look she is crying." Alpha immediately comments when he enters in class and makes a fake concerned face. What does he want with me?

“ Oooooh! Poor girl." One of his puppets says pulling my hair slightly. They are now all around me including other class members.

“Ugly W***e." One of the Class member says and the whole class bursts in laughter. I made a mistake coming here, why did I not remain in my town. I cry bitterly my chest heaving up and down. I find myself remembering all the pain I have had to endure these last few months.

“Why are you all treating me this way." I decide to speak up.

“ Oh! So she can speak What a slutty voice." One person says in a pretence surprised voice. Why are they calling me that. I did not do anything to imply that.

I wonder why they are treating me that way. I see Ethan entering the class but to my surprise he just stands there looking at me in anger, he paves way and slaps me really hard on my face I swear I see stars dancing around before I feel the pain the slap caused. I feel my face swell immediately. I also see Alpha flinch as if to help me, but maybe it's just my eyes. It might be the effects of the slap because he starts laughing and his puppets join in. They are really enjoying the show.

“ Ethan, what did I do to deserve the slap." I say as tears are falling uncontrollably now. “ Why are you punishing me for something I do not even know." I add.

He just looks at me and snorts in disgust and leaves my presence. I stand up from the chair so I can leave this tormenting class but Alpha shoves me back down. There is something about his eyes that makes me want to obey him.

“ Sit down slut." He say. Smacking me on my face too. This time I do not feel pain. It's like my body has become immune to pain. My tears are all dried up. I cannot take it anymore. I cannot let this guy treat me as he pleases. I am not his slave.

My mind has the strength to say that but my body is completely exhausted with life. Life has become so unbearable. How can some people just exist to torment you.

“ So tell us, how was it. Was it good. Was it enough to satisfy you. Or maybe it was small for your needs." Alpha says in a disgusted tone. I wonder what he means by that. I have no strength so I just keep quiet and I let him do whatever he pleases. I do not care anymore. I pick up my handkerchief and I wipe away my tears. Some have started to dry up.

“ You are acting rude huh! You will know who I am after class." Alpha says annoyed. He gestures something with one of his puppets and leaves to sit. But his puppet picks up my notebook and tears it into two. I hear Alpha chuckle from behind the class. How can he be able to rejoice in people's misery.

They have ruined my perfect day. Before the puppet leaves he steps intentionally on my hurt leg from under the chair. I let out a loud scream accompanied by other small screams. I feel all the pain coming back. Alpha and Ethan are startled as they both run to the front to see what is wrong with me. Do they care for me? I doubt that. Maybe they came to laugh as I wallow.

Alpha hesitates though, but Ethan looks at my leg immediately. He gasps when he sees me bleeding. He comes around the chair and carries me without uttering a word and he starts heading out of class.

“What happened to her?" We meet with the professor right outside the door.

“ She hurt herself sir, I am bringing her to ther infirmary." Ethan says.

All this time he hasn't even looked at me a wink .Though he carries me as if I was nothing. I hold on to his shoulder tightly so I can have balance.

He takes me to the infirmiry door and puts me down. Then he starts to leave without even saying a word.

“ Ethan." I call him before he leaves. He just looks behind not uttering a word. “ Why are you treating me this way? what did I do huh?" I ask tears streaming my face again. I cannot seem to hold them in today.

He just looks at me in a long while and sighs before he speaks.

“ Why did you have to ruin my name Elisa." He tries to be polite but I can see him fighting so hard.

“ What do you mean Ethan." I say now totally confused.

“ Don't act all innocent Elisa, how could you tell the whole school that we are a thing. I barely know you, I just helped you because I am a good person. How could you tarnish my name like that." He clenches his fist in anger.

“ No Ethan, I can never do that you know. I can never. I am just new here I have no friends to tell them all that. Please believe me. I know we just met but I swear I am a good person. " I plead with him. He is the only person that showed me compassion, I owe it to him that I am safe.

“ I do not believe you Elisa. You are just an ungrateful b****h.Just stay away from me okay. Stay as far away from me as you possibly can. If I see you near me, I will teach you a lesson. Do you understand me?" And with that he storms out. I look around and I had not noticed that we were not alone. I just bow my head down to wait for my turn. What a life of misery. A boring life. I just wish I had a friend or even someone who cared just a bit. But I have none, I am all alone. That is why people they are picking on me each and every moment. Who do I turn to?
