Episode 4 - soon, My child

Cough...cough...

I wish to die...please...just kill me already.

Noah grabbed my collar and dragged me into the abandoned room on the second floor. Barely anyone went there, it was an old room with cracks on walls and a damp smell.

They often took me here to torture me, to hurt me.

"Let's see how long you last this time."

Noah threw me onto the cold floor. My back hurt from the fall. My head bumped into the table near.

I started coughing, my eyes wetted with tears. My cheeks got sticky as they ran down my face.

"Look at him, he's crying already." Spirea, who was there as well, spoke loudly for everyone to hear.

'He's a lowly orphan, he has no one on his side, and yet, his crying as if there was someone to help him." She laughed.

"Maybe he wishes there would be someone like that." Someone laughed with her.

My fave burnt with embarrassment. I wanted to die. I want to disappear. But I couldn't.

"Let's leave the pointless talk for later, now, he deserves our attention, don't you think?" Noah spoke with a twisted sense of humour.

His leg flew towards my stomach. I could feel the pain as he striked me. I yelled in pain, but two muscular hands grabbed my face and prevented me from screaming.

I trashed myself. I tried to break free, I knew it was impossible. I lived through this many times before. This time was no exception. I tried everything I could, but Noah, and possibly other people, kicked me all over, they punched my face several times.

It hurt. I wanted it to end soon, but before I could see the end, I fell unconscious.

____________________________________________

When I woke up, my body hurt all over, I could barely get up. They were gone, they probably hoped I'd finally die, bad for them, I'm still alive.

I looked out the window, it was too late to go to class now, and my face also looked bad, so I decided to go home. Every movement hurt like hell. My legs almost gave out a few times.

"Why do they keep doing this...?" I asked myself. No one would answer me. Not even I.

I walked through the dense forest to my cottage.

The rain stopped, it was still cold though. I liked the air after the rain, it was fresh, cold and comfortable.

I opened the door to my house and walked in. As soon as I got there, I found my bed and plopped into it. I was tired, my body hurt and my mind was a mess.

"I sleep for a while and you look like this? What happened?" The voice in my head spoke. It was my wolf.

"Alerin..." I spoke with a gentle and quiet voice.

"Was iit those guys again?!" He spoke with fury.

I just nodded, I was too weak to even speak.

What I managed to say was...

"When will I be able to transform?" My eyes darted from side to side.

Alerin was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Soon, I promise, soon." His words were always reassuring.

He slept all the time, he said he needed sleep to regain his power, he was looking out for me, my body was too weak to handle him, or at least that's what he said.

"I hope it's soon..." My eyes closed and I fell into a deep sleep. My breaths were finally even.

I dreamed of the last again, how the people mistreated me. How painful it was, how starved I was and still am. How no one took care of me, no one talked to me, no one accompanied me.

No one did nothing for me. They all just watched as I slowly withered away.

That's alright, you'll soon have someone to rely on, My child. I'm so sorry...
