The Alpha Beast

Chapter 7: Disputes

Evelyn

Next few days I was going back and forth with my illnes. Was also crying my eyes out. I had too much free time to overhink about everything in my life. But mostly about my father. Slowly I was starting to accept the reality. I never felt so alone. I was lonely quite often in my life but I always had someone to go to. Now it's just me. No one to go to, no one to talk to. 

I'm sick of constantly lying down. I get up and go to the kitchen.

"Oh you're up. Are you feeling better?" asks Dianna, looking like she really cares.

She was by my side all this time. Bringing me to eat, talking to me, comforting me.

"I am. Can I ask you...This thing...About warevolves...Do you believe in that?"

"Honey there's nothing to believe. It's whether you're aware of it or not."

Are we all collectively crazy in here? 

"So...For how long are they around?"

"From the beginning of the world." She takes a look at me: "They are human too. Just a little more advanced." 

Definitely.

"Are they dangerous?"

"Not more then everyone else." she turns to focus on chopping some vegetables.

It's quite difficult to get anything out of Dianna. She is always rationalising and defending everything and everyone. She also keeps telling me that I am not kidnaped nor captivated and thas as soon as I get better and the roads clear, Theodore is gonna take me home.

Speaking of the devil, I haven't seen him since that night. So much about closed roads.

I get up and head the living room, as I'm still out of shape. In the hallway I come across Theodore, who just came in from outside.

"Enjoying your freedom?" I don't know why I said that.

He looks at me a little surprised.

"This place is huge, you're free to roam around." he says and walks away.

Nice.

Tomorrow I woke up early. I am definitely getting crazy in here. With nothing to do and nowere to go. Just going through what happened over and over again. And that same nightmare repeating. Me as a little girl and men that turn into beasts trying to reach me. Is it my subconscious telling me how helpless I acctualy feel? 

"Good morning. Can I help you with something?" I come up to Dianna, feeling some sudden extra enery in me. 

"Someone is an early riser. Good morning to you too. Thank you, but I manage everything." she says with a soft smile.

"Please. Anything. I can't be idle anymore. I'm going to burst." I beg.

 "Fine. You can start peeling these apples. I could make some apple pie." she winks and heads out the kitchen.

"Nanna...Oh...I see you are entertaining yourself." Theodore comes casually.

I roll my eyes.

"It would be much entertaining if I wasn't trapped here."

"You wouldn't be trapped if you didn't run away.."

"I wouldn't have run away if you hadn't abduct and locked me."

"That's enough!" he growls taking me by my upper arm.

"You should be gratefull!" he drags me to extern door left from the kitchen counter and trows me out.

Before I know I am outside, facing the closed door. That jerk! I turn around and see incredible amount of snow all over the yard. It must reach to my waist and maybe above! What an asshole! Who does he think he is! What a nasty temper he's got! Aaagh!

God it's freezing out here! I'm still in my summer clothes and in the house it's not specially warm. I embrace myself. What an i***t! Does he want me to not to recover and leave? 

Afer a while he opens the damn door.

"Have cooled yourself down? Wanna come in and behave well?"

I just stare at him bitterly. He moves aside and I get in. Dianna is also looking annoyed.

"Will you kids stop to conflict already?"
