Was the sounds coming to my ears, I was sure that this was just a packed up lie to make me give up and return to where I was coming from.
Since my mother was my only reason for coming back.
“Iris, you can’t play with me about my mother, stop it” I smiled even though it was extra weird.
“Your mother is dead, buried in the old yard, her ashes weren’t even collected” she rasped arrogantly that I lost my patience and ran her over.
“Who the hell do you think you are to talk about my mother!” I slapped her angrily whilst jerking her up by her collar.
Calling unto to the attentions of the villagers and her maids trying to stop me.
“You are just a bastard child, you are not even my fathers daughter and the only reason I care for you is only because I felt I should but this is how you treat me in return” she was more than shocked to hear that from me.
I shouldn’t worry about how she felt or she was going to feel but myself, I should worry about whether she’s lying or not.
Without hesitation, I dashed over to my mothers hut only for me to see guards from the village running after me.
I got to the garden and felt this uneasy feeling, this place looks unkept.
No,
Don’t tell me this is real?
With tears threatening to drop from my eyes, I staggered slowly with my legs slowly becoming numb and fingers trembling with fear.
Mother
I called in my thoughts.
I silently break down when I noticed that everything in her room has been boxed up and kept at a side.
Before I could go further inside to check, I was grabbed by two guards who would do anything to stop me from going inside.
“What did you do to my mother you wicked woman!” I screamed angrily whilst trying to rush over to the wicked step mother.
“Now that you’ve spent some days with the wolfs, you’ve beginning to act like them” she uttered, maintaining her false elegancy.
“Dare to let me go so I can show you that I’ve truly become a part of them?” I was never like this, they turned me into this.
“How bold of you!, how the hell did you leave there?” My father stepped in,
I was hoping to see him rush over whilst stopping the guards from holding me down but he was so relieved to see me like this.
“Bring her to my chambers, she’d be there until they come back for her”
“You are going to sell me out again?, after killing my mother?, I’ll never forgive you, never!!” I screamed so loudly.
“No one killed your mother, she was sick, she died because it was her time!” She fired back.
I was literally begging God to grant me the ability to kill just by staring but it seems I hoped too high.
I was watched by half of the villagers as I got dragged away.
Tied to the pole in my fathers chamber like a goat, they would do anything to stop me from escaping.
It took me a while to finally drown into reality, after everything, my mother left me behind.
To continue to suffer until I end up like her too?, did I choose this fate for myself or was I denied of my actual fate.
This is too much, I’ve had my last good days when I was 6 and for the past 12 years, I’ve been going through the bad phase.
When will this end?
I cried silently, unable to control the rate at which the tears filled its brim at every thought of my mother, everything and my past with her kept flashing through my mind.
I wish I could live a better life,
With her in it.

Some hours passed.
“Tell me, did anyone touch her in a way they shouldn’t have???” I jerked at the heavy yell’s from outside and a part of me could tell who it was from.
Him.
Again!
Before I could think of what to do, the sun rays flashed across my face as the curtain pulled up with him standing gallantly by the door.
“I did not escape!” I tried to tell him.
For some reasons, I fear him, I fear that he was going to hurt me.
“I only came here to visit my mother because..” I stuttered, my body shaking as I talk.
“We are going back!, you do not belong here.” He stated whilst untying me. His fresh scent filling my nostrils.
“I never…” my words seized in my throat the moment his eyes met with mine.
He stared harder and I was finding it hard to keep up with him, just when I decided to look away.
“Hmph!” I scoffed as he cupped my face in his palm, our face was just few inches apart.
“If I want to do it, no one will stop me!” Was all he said before crashing his lips on mine.
My eyes botched in disbelief as I stared blankly at nothing.
I wasn’t able to reciprocate because why should I?
I angrily pushed him away whilst spitting on his face.
“Asshole!” I screamed, trying to run away.
But of course, he grabbed me by my waist and dragged me back.
“Let me show you what it actually means to be an asshole” he said and pushed me away with his hand still on my dress.
He was able to drag and tear till I was almost stark naked with him in my fathers chambers until we heard footsteps.
He quickly ran over and wrapped me in his regalia.
“We are returning to the pack and you’ll never be able to escape again”
I stared around, taking his words really seriously as if this was truly the last time.
Here in my fathers village, the nobles rode on carriages but with him, it was with a horse.
“Take one last look and say goodbye!” He said as he pulled me up on the horse, immediately he sat behind me.
I felt this unusual arousal when his shaft touched my back even though that wasn’t fully felt.
I Arya, choose to accept this fate, of living in the beast land.
My family are worse than beasts, why must I be with them?
