Freya's Pov:
I sat on my bed in my room as the morning sun shine brightly on me and stare into space as I think about my life, at midnight I turn twenty years of age and I've made up my mind not to give the Marshalls anymore troubles than I've already given them. They were good enough to take me in when my own biological mother left me in the forest at the age of five, and all I've done for them is cause troubles with these cursed abilities which I do not even know what they are or what I am to call myself and I know for a fact that I am not human.
Tonight I plan on leaving from Mystic Falls to start anew in New Orleans which was about 1523 miles away from Mystic Falls and no one knew me there so I won't be treated as a plague or disease for the time being, it pained my heart that I was going to leave without informing the Marshalls but I did write them a letter which I made sure to put somewhere they can find the next morning.
I've already packed some few belongings of mine and I've already requested transfer to a highschool in New Orleans as my senior year in highschool starts next week and the principal was more than happy to rid me from the school as he signed the transfer without waivering nor did he ask whether the Marshalls knew and I was so glad about that.
I had no friends to miss nor did I have a boyfriend who I'd miss the only ones I had here were the Marshalls and I'm moving away for their sake as I didn't want them to keep suffering because of me, the family friends and neighbors they used to be friends with no longer wanted to be friends with them since they found out about me the cursed child and it has brought more than just conflicts.
I got down from my bed and walk into the bathroom as I brush and took my bath before I walk out, I quickly dress up and walk out of my room to the kitchen to my mom and I hug her from behind and she squeal as she felt startled from my action.
" Oh my God Freya you scared me, what happened? "
She worriedly ask me as she tried to peel me off of her but I wouldn't budge, I'd miss her when I move so I wanted to hug her for all the years I'd spend missing her and I only had now till evening to hug her because after she goes to bed tonight she wouldn't wake up to see me.
Tears started to pool in my eyes as I thought about all the years she spent taking care of me and my needs, my biological mother hasn't done even half of what the Marshalls have done for me and it really pained my heart to see them suffer because of me. Mom quickly raised my face to hers as she heard my silent sobs and she quickly wipe away my tears in worry, she led me to the living room and sat me in the couch before she sat beside me.
" Freya what happened? Did someone say something bad to you again? Did they throw stones at you ? Are you hurt? "
She started to rain down questions on me but I kept shut and snuggle into her arms.
" Please tell me, if you're scared to speak then write it down for me Freya. Please don't leave me stranded with these questions and worries, talk to mom. "
I still kept mute as I didn't know what to say or how to say my goodbyes without alerting her, my mind was conflicted and I wanted to back out of my plans but I just knew I couldn't if I wanted them to live happily.
" Gerald honey come here, Freya isn't feeling well she's shedding tears. "
Mom quickly call out for dad as her face looked more worried than she was and she also started to sob along with me, dad run out of the room to us half way dressed for work and stood still staring at us dumbfounded.
" What's going on and what happened to the both of you? "
" I think Freya is hurt and she wouldn't tell me where she's hurt, she just kept crying Gerald What should we do. "
" Freya did someone throw stones at you again when you went out yesterday? should we go to the hospital? "
They started to overreact which brought me back to my senses and I quickly let go of mom and wave my hands to them.
" No, I'm okay "
I slightly whisper in a very low tone which made mom stop sobbing and I took my book and pen and started to write down what I wanted to say.
" I'm really fine you don't need to overreact. "
" Then why were you crying? "
" Because i love you a lot and I am very grateful for everything you've done for me, mom dad thank you for taking me in, thank you for making me feel at home and thank you for all the love you've given to me. "
They both read out loud and smile warmly and dad walk closer to us as he brought us to a very warm embrace.
" Now both of you stop crying like children, Mia I'm running late please put together our breakfast. "
Dad said and pull away before mom hurriedly went back to the kitchen to continue making breakfast, after we finish eating dad said his goodbyes and left for work and I stayed behind to chat with mom for a while before i also left for my part-time which was two hours walk from home.
My work hours went with people giving death glares and disgusted looks which I didn't let bother because i was already used to it, if they weren't short handed my boss would have fired me along time and today was even my last day there so I smile warmly to the people there.
My working hours were over and it was late seven in the evening, reaching home very late as usual as mom and dad had already turn in for the night and I didn't want to wake them up like I always do.
I tiptoe to my room and took a very quick shower I started to take out my suitcase and backpack. I walk out of my room back to the living room and found my dad was sitting in the couch and he wave the letter I had left for them in anger.
" Really Freya, you were leaving without telling us? Is that how we raised you? I know you don't like us being treated badly but you can't just pack your bags and leave, what about Mia don't you care how she'll feel when she wakes up and find you gone leaving only a letter to inform her? "
I quickly took out my book and pen and I started to jot down my words
" You'll be happy when I'm gone away from your lives, no one will talk bad to you and your lives will go back as it was before you took me in. I am grateful for everything you've done for me so far and I want to repay you, this is the only way I can think of repaying you back for all the love you've given me. "
" Freya I know I can't stop you from going since you're old enough to make your decisions, all I can tell you is to call and text us and don't cut ties with us. I'll explain it to Mia myself, where are you going to and do you have a place to stay over there. "
I smiled very brightly as dad didn't push the matter farther.
" I am moving to New Orleans and I have already rented a small place to stay, I have already found a part-time job and I've already transferred schools. "
" You did all this without even informing us and how come we weren't informed by the school about your transfer?! "
Dad asked in shock and anger, the school didn't care about all that when it comes to me, if it was up to them they'd have me stop schooling there a long time ago.
" The principal signed my transfer dad don't worry it doesn't matter anymore since the school I transferred to is a really good school, I promise I'll be fine on my own and I'll call or text you once a week to let you know of my health. "
I said to him and he sigh before he stood up from the couch and walk to me, he hug me tightly before breaking the hug. Dad pick an envelope from the couch and pass it to me, my eyes almost bulge out when I open the envelope and saw what was in and I quickly start to write in my book.
" Dad I can't take this, it's too much plus I have enough with me that can support me for some years. I'll work part-time too so you don't need to give me this, dad I can't take it. "
" Freya this is the only way I'm agreeing to you living on your own, we'll send you some money monthly to help found your studies okay and I'm not taking a no for answer. "
I gave in as I knew dad wouldn't let me leave without me agreeing to his condition, it was that or I stay and I preferred that over staying.
" Okay dad I'll take it with me but you don't have to force yourself to send money every month, I'll call for it when I'm in need okay. "
" Hmmm okay that's fine with me but I don't know about Mia, Freya should I drop you at the bus station? "
" No I can go by myself you can't leave mom alone she'll get worried if you're missing from her side. "
I quickly said to dad and I place a gentle kiss on his cheek before I started to walk out, I stop at the door and turn to glance at dad once more before I completely step out and gently close the door behind.

I rented at a place without much civilization as it was somehow closer to the forest and it was much closer to my new highschool, I open the door and walk into my new home which wasn't much but it was to my liking and since it had a small kitchen and a bathroom it wasn't bad. it was already morning so I decided to unpack my things and get settled first.
For the next couple of days I got myself familiar with my new place and all but there was something which always bothered me, at night I could hear wolves howl around and bikes making noises in the deep forest around my place and it bothered me to death but I had no way to make it stop. T
he day for me to finally start attending my new school had finally come, I woke up in the morning brush and bath before I put on my clothes and walk out of the house as I lock my door and started to walk to the school, I gasp when I arrive at the school as it as very well decorated for a school far from civilization and it was way bigger and enormous than my old school.
I walk into the school compound and I suddenly felt something stir up in my soul and heart, I feel uneasy as I felt as if my every move was being watched which scared me for the first time in years.
I started to walk hurriedly with my eyes staring down my feet and I suddenly bump into something hard as I took a quick curve, I silently yelp out and I was met with a beautiful warm and bright smile as I slowly raise up my head, " it wasn't a wall! " I thought to myself as the guy I bumped into stare deep into my eyes as he smile brightly to me.
The air around him was cold and he looked dominant, I'd say he is a gangster from just a look at him as everything about him screamed of don't mess with me if you want to be alive but his smile just knocked away my breath.
" Are you okay? I hope you didn't get hurt? I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going "
he said to be in a very loud voice which startled me and I quickly took out my book.
" I'm fine, sorry it was rather my fault. I am sorry once again. "
I quickly show him the book after I had jotted down what I wanted to say and he laugh
" I know you can talk so why are you writing that to me? "
He said to me in a tone I didn't find pleasant so I decided to walk away from him as I thought he was bad news for me but he quickly block my path.
" I'm Jasper and you? I haven't seen you before, are you a transfer student? "
He started to make conversation with me and I decided to ignore him until he gets tired and leave but this Jasper guy just wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to help myself in the only way I know and I prayed deep down my in my heart that he wouldn't get hurt, I raise my head and stare at him in anger
" Get away from me "
I commanded him but instead of him doing as I commanded his eye pupils turn dark for a moment and went back to his hazle color as his face darkened and he frown which made me stunned and terrified at the same time as no one as ever withstood my command before and this was my first time so I decided to try one more time.
" I said get away from me!!! "
This time I decided to put in more command and screamed a bit but it was still futile as he smirk at me before he sigh.
" If you weren't my mate I'd have your head and leave your body for the vultures to feast on you! "
My body run cold just hearing him say that with the face he was making but what bothered me most was what he said first
" What the hell is a mate?! "
