The Curse of the Human Wolf

All hope is gone! *Trigger Warning*

Viola POV:

I woke up groggily, my eyes were dry and heavy from all the dust in my room. I sat up and stretched really big. Last night's swim was really good but that creepy feeling of being watched really ruined the serenity of the night. Two more days till I'm out of here!

I yawned for the last time and my stomach growled. I could feel the acid burning through my empty stomach. I needed to find something to eat. I got up and walked down stairs, once I'm out of here, I'm gonna buy a delicious giant cheese burger as a celebratory dish! My stomach growled louder just thinking about the gherkins and the cheese on the hot beef patty, Oh my gosh! I need to stop! I swallowed the excess saliva that had pooled in my mouth and headed towards the kitchen. Dad was sitting and looking outside this morning, which was strange but whatever and I couldn't hear Damon anywhere so maybe he's still asleep or he's gone out and Mom is definitely still asleep. When I got to the kitchen, I saw the Burger King wrappers next to the bag and when I opened the bag silently, I saw one cheese burger left. f**k it! I grabbed the Burger and wolfed it down as I kept glancing to the stairs, I was straining my ears to listen for any movement up stairs or anyone's steps. It was silent except for my thundering heart beat. Once I was done, I stuffed the wrapping in the bag like the others and drank 3 cups of water to wash down any remaining food in my teeth, just in case they cavity searched me.

I was so anxious as I walked up stairs and then I noticed my room door was closed and my heart beat faster, why is it closed? I don't remember closing it! I scrambled to the door handle and grabbed it hard to find my mother and Damon kneeling over my money box and counting the money. My mother was smiling as she had her hands clasped together, looking proudly at her son for stealing my money. I was frozen but not for long, I ran towards Damon screaming, not sure why I did it like that and I started beating his head with my fist, he swung me off and I flew against the wall. "You f*****g b***h!" He growled at me and my mother looked at me horrified, "how could you attack your brother like that?" She looked at me appalled, like I was the one stealing from him, "You hid this from us!" Damon growled and stomped over to me grabbing my hair and swinging my head into the wall, "Damon, no!" shouted my mother, pulling his hands away from my hair, for less than a second, I felt like my mother was seeing me as a daughter again. "Damon, she has a pretty face and you can't go ruining it now!" She exclaimed with a wicked smile, Damon had also started smiling at me now and the Burger King in my stomach is threatening to climb out of my throat. "How else is she going to make us money?" There it is! I force the vomit back down, I'll keep swallowing because this might be my only meal for awhile.

My mother grabs the money from Damon, and counts it in front of my face, "$500," she gasps in fake surprise, "so you've been stealing my money?" She mocks me, "No! It's mine!" I yell, my face is turning red and my throat is closing up, I can't help the tears that are threatening to fall. My mother pulls the money away from reach, she's smiling, probably enjoying this. "Now, look here sweetheart," she gestures for my brother to leave and he does while smirking, she gets up and steps towards the door, taking the key. "You're my daughter! I would never want to hurt you but you have to understand that this pains me more than it does you," she shook her head in fake sadness while pulling an exaggerated pout, "what are you doing?" I called out, realizing it too late. She slams the door and locks it, I pound on the door and scream, "Let me the f**k out of here!" I won't stop pounding, I'll break through this f*****g door! "You can't do this!" I scream with tears streaming down my face, "You can't f*****g do this!"

I hear my mother, give my brother $50, "buy me a box of smokes and some breakfast!" She sounds so giggly and giddy, "did I do good Ma?" He asks, sounding like a young boy. "Oh yes, my baby!" I hear her wet smooch probably , "You did great!" I can hear my brother's happiness, I pound on the door harder. "Make all the noise you want, little missy, but you ain't leaving!" My mother's voice is cheery. "Please mom!" I beg through deep sobs, I hear her walk towards the door, her bare feet making soft thuds, "Now sweetie, remember when I said you'll be a w***e some day too?" She doesn't wait fir a response, "well on your 18th birthday sweets, you'll become one!" She laughs and giggles as she walks to her room. I bury my face in my hands and cry.
