His Whispering Mate

Chapter 1

Rochelle Williams Pov

I am the girl who could barely utter two words. Stammering is something I have eventually accepted. I have been home schooled. In schools my classmates always laughed at me, bullied me when there was no faculties around. I have people phobia. I cannot be around many people. I get panic attacks. New York is the city where I have lived all my life. Even if this city is always lighted with its ambiance and nature mostly stay indoors because of my phobia.

It all started when I was eight years old. Before I was a happy lively girl who had friends, best mother and uncle. After that particular incident everything changed. I barely spoke to anyone. Life has been tough. Whenever I think about that incident I get goose bumps all over my body.

If it was not for uncle Lucas I would have been dead long back. life is not easy. I have had grown through all the stages and emotions. Its been tough since that tragedy happened with me.

With the connections which my Mom and Uncle Luca had, they found me soon enough. I don't Know what would have happened if they were even a second late. I don't remember what happened later when they saved me because i was unconscious when i woke up next time.

Even after all those years passed i am still trying to recover from that particular incident. I still have nightmares. This is how my life is with all the tragedy that happened my mama and Uncle Luca has made sure to protect me all the time. They both made life a little more easier and simple. What else could i ask for in my life. They have put up with my every phase of growing up.

A shiver passes down my spine whenever i think about it.It ll appears in front of my eyes like a clear vision. I am thankful of my childhood friend who was the one to inform the principal of our school. I don't know if she would have not seen me getting kidnapped than how would have my mama and Uncle found me. i would be forever grateful of her.

I was just shy of eight years old when that incident happened. Some people kidnapped me from school when I was waiting for my mom to arrive and pick me up. Later I found myself in a room tied to the chair. I was unconscious when they bought me here. I did not know where I was. I was just eight years old, hungry and scared. I started crying and wailing loudly.

“Mama….

Mama, please come

Where are you?” I was shouting but mama was not there. With all the crying and shouting my voice had become hoarse. I was exhausted. After a while one uncle came with a plate of food and glass of water. Even though the food was not tasty I had it when they removed the knot from my hands. Once done I started running towards the door when I was near the door one uncle appeared in front of me and pushed me in.

“please uncle I want to got to my mama” I cry and start hitting him with my tiny fist.. he started laughing and pushed me in. I fell down and got scratched.

“She is feisty, I like it. Too bad she is young” he says. He was looking at me in a weird way. I got scared and moved back.

“Keep her starved, don’t give her food. Only one meal a day is enough” he informs the uncle who was keeping an eye on me and walks out closing the door. I move to the corner of the room and sit quietly.

“mama, where are you. Please come soon” thinking that I drifted into sleep on the hard surface of the room.

Its been two days since they brought me here. I am feeling very weak. The uncle who had pushed me everyone calls him master. I am very scared of him. My face is tear stained and my dress has become dirty. There is small window with bars. Looking outside I see its dark.

That means it is night time. They have kept me in between the woods in one room so that no one will find me. After a while I hear voice of animals and I am really scared.

“Uncle, please take me to mama I won’t trouble.” I tell him crying. As usual there was no response from him.

I get up at the sound. Its like an animal is there outside the room. I am really scared now. I get up and slowly walk near the window and peak outside. My body is in pain, they have beaten me with belt and I have got red marks where the rope was tied. Looking out I see a fox .

It was white and black. It was not a small fox, it was so big. I see the fox face towards the opposite direction. I move a little closer towards the window and take a good look. It was shiny in the moon light.

It makes some kind of loud voice as if like the wolves howl. Scared I duck inside down when the animal turns it face. After a few seconds I get up. What I see has my body frozen on the spot. The uncle who was guarding me walks near that animal with a gun. But the animal was very vicious and bit that uncle’s neck living his body limp.

A shocked gasp escaped my lips. I feel my heart hammering inside my chest. As I see the fox getting up and standing. Little by little I see human hands appearing and fur was not there. Standing there was a man in the place of the fox.

“No no this can’t be” looking wide eyes I faint on the spot.
