TRIGGER WARNING: SA

Rosalia’s nightmare (Age 12)

*I watched my uncle stumble into my room. The smell of whiskey heavy on him. He grabbed my arm roughly to drag me over to my bed.*

*“No..!,” I screamed, earning a slap from him.*

*I stood, shocked from him slapping me, unable to react as he undressed me and left me with nothing on. He pushed me to the bed and started kissing me on my cheek, lips and neck. I shivered due to the disgust it gave me.*

*“Please..!”*

*He kept kissing all the way down, he opened my legs while I tried to push him off of me.*

*“STOP..!”*

*He slapped me and held me tight.*

*“Don’t do this to me!”*

*He started to lick my private parts and it didn’t feel good at all. He licked and sucked, then he inserted a finger inside and I yelled in pain.*

*“Please stop…! You’re supposed to be my uncle! I am your niece and uncles don’t do this to their nieces. Uncle, please, don’t, I am just a kid this isn’t right..!”*

*Slap, Slap, Slap.*

*When he tried to insert something bigger, he stopped and said, “Oh, shut your hoe mouth and take it like the little pretty slut you are!”*

*“Oh. Look at this, my pretty slut is a virgin and I’ll be your first and your last, Rose. You are my rose. Remember that, before you try to run or tell someone. I will kill you and no one will believe you or even miss you. Remember no one cares about you,” Uncle said.*

*As he kept touching me and feeling every bit of my body, all I felt was disgust. This wasn’t right. This felt so wrong. What was happening? Why was this happening to me? I’m just a kid. I knew this isn’t what was supposed to happen to any kid my age. Why would a grown man, let alone my uncle touch me this way? I gave up fighting him, he was stronger than me. I just laid there and cried until he was done.*

*Slap, slap, slap.*

*“You did good, pretty Rose,” Uncle said and before leaving, he gave me a kiss. I laid there and let the darkness consume.*

Rose POV

I stirred as I heard my alarm clock. I jumped and noticed I was having this nightmare that never seems to end. I lay there in bed for five more minutes and groaned as I had to get up. Ugh, it’s 5 AM, it’s still early. I walked to the closet to get my workout clothes and went to the bathroom to do my business. I started running and taking defensive classes after what I went through as a child. I promised myself that no one would ever make me feel weak, small or hurt me ever again.

I take my phone and headphones along with my apartment keys. It’s about 5:30 in the morning and I had two and a half hours. I started running in this forest. I’ve noticed that every time I’m in this forest I am at peace. To be honest, I don’t know what it was about this place, but I was able to live in this beautiful forest. I would gladly do it and be happy and peaceful.

As I kept running, I didn’t notice that I was being followed. Not by a person, but by an animal. As the music I was listening to starts to come to an end, I heard a twig break behind me.

“Stay calm, just keep slow running, there’s no one here, just stay calm.”

‘It’s all in your head.’

‘Stay calm.’

‘Don’t panic.’

‘Rose, you are losing your damn mind, look at you talking to yourself.’

‘Why are you..’

I didn’t get to finish asking my question as I heard a twig break again. ‘Okay, you’re not losing it, Rose! RUN!’

I started running deeper into the woods and I heard it again. I heard something coming after me. Why does it smell like something rotten and garbage?

As I kept running, I noticed it wasn’t just one thing, but more than one coming after me, wait.. is that.. no it can’t be.. wolves? I didn’t notice where I was running to and I ended up tripping on something. Omg, why now? I can’t believe I tripped while running for my life. As I tried to get up and keep running, I turned to see it. No, am I still dreaming. It’s a damn wolf and it isn’t alone.

Why is this happening to me?

Too scared to even notice when two more came running towards me. No, towards the smelly ones. Are they helping me? One of the smelly ones came after me and bit me. I let out a scream and then another after I felt a second bite. Bleeding from my leg and arm, I started to lose consciousness. I thought I was going to die as I let the darkness consume me.

Noah POV

As my brother Elijah and I went on a run, my wolf, Nax, was restless and whimpering or was it excitement. I linked Elijah to see if it’s only my wolf or if his wolf, Eliot was restless just like Nax was. ‘Hey, Elijah, is Eliot restless or excited.’

‘Yes, he’s restless, whimpering and everything, you can think of,’ Elijah linked back, confirming my question.

As we kept running, Nax kept bugging me, restless and not giving me any answers. I tried to ignore him as we were on a run. As we kept running, this intoxicating smell hit my nostrils. It’s a smell that I grew up loving. It smells like chocolate chip pancakes with honey and a hint of vanilla. But why am I smelling a hint of fear and blood mixed into this amazing smell? I ran even faster and I looked to my side to see Elijah running right next to me. Can he smell the same thing I am smelling? As Elijah and I got closer, I felt Nax stir around frantically and said a word that my brother and I had been waiting to hear since we were eighteen.

At eighteen we found our mates and it’s been two years since we hit the mating age. Nax pulled me out of my thoughts when he said….

‘Mate…’
