Episode 2

It was yet another school morning.

I had to wake up at 6 in the morning. I was tired and didn't want to get up, my muscles still hurt, my stomach was bruised.

I still remembered the previous day vividly.

The two alphas striking me with their fists and legs. They spit on me as well.

I felt ashamed, I felt disgusting.

To top it off, I had that nightmare again, the nightmare in which I submitted myself to these alphas, their disgusting touches and their lips on my skin. It makes me want to claw my skin out.

I always wake up with my heart beating fast.

"Another tiring day ahead of me."

I sighed and got up from the bed.

I brushed my teeth and put on my favourite yellow sweater. I combed my blond hair and put cream on my skin.

I walked out of my room, only to find Leah sitting on the stairs.

"What's going on?" I asked her.

"Mom's having a bad day again." she answered me.

"I see." I nodded. Mom was having his bad days too often these days, he'd always tell us to go to our rooms or to be quiet.

"He'll get over it soon." I told her and started going down the stairs.

"I hope so."

Leah was only 13 years old, she was still a young child.

Same with her twin brother, Jace.

They were both young.

Lucas was already 19 years old, and was studying in a college.

Mom and dad had high hopes for him, in Leah and Jace too, I was a... disappointment.

I wasn't that good at biology or math, I couldn't properly understand literature.

I was a failure in their eyes.

"Raven, take your siblings to school." mom yelled out of the kitchen, when he heard me walk down the stairs.

"But I have to go to my school!" I stopped in my tracks, their school was on the other side of the city.

"Don't argue with me, you can spare one hour for your siblings, no?"

"You know I have attendance!"

"Don't make it into so much drama." he came out of the kitchen, his expression was angry.

"Just take them, it won't do anything with your attendance."

I shook my head in disagreement.

"No." I said.

"What?" my mom was angry, his fave was turning red.

"I have to attend today! They aren't so little anymore, they can walk themselves!"

Slap.

My head turned to the side. My cheek burnt.

"How dare you talk back to me!?"

He yelled out at me.

"I told you to take them, so take them."

"No..."

I was stubborn till the end.

"Take them yourself." why should I care about my siblings, when you don't care about me?

I turned around and walked out the door.

"When you come back home, you'll stay in your room and won't come out until I say you can!'

I could hear him yell at me from the back.

But I didn't care, it was normal to be punished for something I can't do.

I had to be at school early today, I planned a meeting with my boyfriend.

He said he wanted to talk about something.

Maybe I should've just gone with my siblings that day, maybe then, I wouldn't have to feel the pain I did.

Maybe then, I would've wanted to keep living.
