Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Seventeen

                                                                    Willows POV

    Amber came up to tell me that she is being sent away to Luna training.  I wish I could go someday but I don’t think I’ll ever have the chance too.  Of course this was all a month ago.  I text her almost every night as long as she isn’t too exhausted.  She checks up on me to make sure I’m ok and she apologies that I won’t get to have a nice hot shower once a week over the summer.  I’ve told her it’s not her fault.  I hate the she keeps feeling guilty, I feel she has spent most of her childhood looking after and caring for since no one else would.  She should be able to enjoy herself as well.  That’s why I have been hiding from her the fact things around here have gotten worse.  Everyday I get beaten and then when everyone else is inside that guy who grabbed my chest awhile back has been slowly doing more and he knows he can get away with it since I’m mute and no one cares anyway.

    “Willow we should do something to make him stop” Sumeria said to me.  I sighed because there was unfortunately nothing that could be done about it.

    “You and I both know there isn’t anything we can do to make him stop right?  I mean first of all we’re weak, we’re mute, and everyone here hates us.  Even if I could fight him off and scream no one would come to our rescue” I said to her.  

    “What if we told Amber? Or Ansel?” Sumeria asked.  

    “Amber doesn’t need that kind of stress since there isn’t anything she can do to help and I don’t think Ansel can do much either” I said.  Although I have thought about it.

    “Tell you what, if it starts to get really really bad then I’ll tell Ansel since he may be slightly more able to help us” I told Sumeria.  I couldn’t wait for Amber to get back home since I could tell her about it and she’d be able to stop it.

    I continued on with my day and luckily that guy was no where to be found.  I figured I may have just been lucky and he probably would show up tomorrow.  However I started to make an attempt to train a tiny bit.  Every morning right before everyone had to wake up I would go for a run in wolf form, mainly to keep my healing abilities in good shape and because Sumeria needed the exercise.  I would occasionally let her hunt a bit and I would actually feel kinda full when I would shift back.  It was nice because I essentially found a rather stable food source.  Even if I couldn’t get food from the pack house I at least had food from outside.  I also made an attempt for a rather short period of time would do small little exercises.  It made me feel a little better about myself at least.

    Over the next week things seemed to not be as bad and I hadn’t seen that guy once.  I began to wonder what happened to him.  Maybe he was banished or died during a fight.

    “Oh f**k!” I heard someone shout.  I ran towards who shouted and there I found my answer.  I would never have to worry about the guy touching me ever again.  He was in the back by the stage with his innards all over the place.  The words child predator were scorched into the ground.  I felt so f*****g relieved about it.  Everyone in the pack seemed baffled, I on the other hand snuck back inside to continue cleaning.  Since everyone was busy dealing with the body of that pack member no one bothered me.  Even dinner was actually a tad bit pleasant for me.  I then went back to my room.  I couldn’t wait for Amber to come back but now I wasn’t as miserable.  I got a text from Ansel.

    Ansel: Hey Willow how are you doing?

    Me: I’m okay, a pack member was killed mysteriously

    Ansel: WTF are you okay?

    Me: Oh I am more than ok since that creep had been touching me for the past week

    Ansel: HE WHAT!?

    Me: I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think it was a big deal

    Ansel: Well he is dead so there isn’t much I can do.  But can you promise me if something like that happens again you’ll tell me?

    Me: Yes I will

    Ansel: Ok good because I want to do what I can to keep you safe, I mean I can’t really do much now unfortunately

    Me: That is true, but why do you care about me?  We hardly know each other

    Ansel: Even so you’re a child who is in a terrible situation, anyone who has a heart would want to do what they could to help

    Me: That might be the nicest thing anyone has said to me

    Ansel: Wow your pack is really shitty if that's the nicest thing that's been said to you

    Me: Yeah I mean You’re not wrong

    Ansel: Well I need to sleep now, I’ll try to message you tomorrow if I can or at least in the next few days

    Me: Goodnight

    Ansel: Goodnight sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite

    I smiled to myself reading that last message.  He really cared about me, maybe I could try to go to his pack when I turn 16.  I don’t care if I ever find a mate, I doubt anyone would want to be my mate but if I can be somewhere where I’m treated as a person then I’ll be happy and content with life.  I fell asleep smiling.

    I woke up the next morning in a rather good mood.  I snuck outside and went on my morning run.  It felt so nice to be free!

    I agree with that

    I wish I could let you run more often Sumeria

    I’m happy I get to run around at all.  Even if it’s for a short amount of time it’s still better then never being allowed to run.

    I smiled at how understanding Sumeria is.  I told her we couldn’t hunt today since we did so a few days ago.  She sighed but understood.  After about half an hour we went back to the house so I could get dressed and carry on with my day.
