When Two Beasts Fell in Love

Chapter 1

Early in the morning, while the sun hadn’t risen yet, Angelique helped her mother harvesting their crops. She has always been helping her mother since she's thirteen, now that she’s eighteen years old, she keeps on doing it. Her body already adopted the heavy work on the farm but she’s still an overweight girl they always see. 

“Honey, you might lose weight on what you're doing,” her mother told her while laughing. She knew that her mother had no bad intention, she just wanted her to laugh. 

“I hope too, Mama.” I hope so. She said with a smile on her face, then she picked up the sack of potatoes. She said it like it is fine but inside her head, she has a bitter smile. 

Growing up, even when she exercised and starved herself, she still became chubbier each year. She tried to lose weight and she was always conscious of what she eats, but nothing happened. 

That’s also the reason why the bullying got worse. They were already physically abusing her, students and teachers alike. But still, her mother didn’t know all of this and she really does not want to tell her.  

She did everything just to hide it all from her mother. She didn’t want her mother to worry about her. It was enough that she did everything for her to study and feed her. Susan was already going through so much just by taking care of her, she does not want to add more burden to her mother.

“Are you going to school today?” Susan asked.

“Yes, Mama. We have a final exam,” she answered as she put the last sack on the truck. 

“Did you study?” she asked her again as she wiped her sweat. Angelique approached her and took the towel, she wiped her mother’s sweat instead. 

“I did last night,” and she smiled, assuring her mother. 

“So, you have to be ready for school. The sun is already rising.” Her mother told her and took back the towel. She nodded and followed what her mother told her. 

She didn’t want to go to school, but she pushed herself because her mother might notice what she was hiding. Ever since she was a kid, her mother knew her if something was wrong. As time passed by, she perfected the art of pretending and masking her emotions. 

“I’m going now, Mama!” she shouted while running outside, not hearing what her mother just said. She didn’t want her mother to go with her, not because she’s ashamed, but because she didn’t want her mother to know what's going on with her at school. 

She just slowly walked, recalling what she just studied last night. Until she stumbled and fell down.

“Oh! What happened to you, cousin? Did you catch some fish?” asked a baritone voice and followed by the laughter of four people. She knew all of them 

Angelique didn’t say anything and just slowly stood up and patted her clothes, taking the dirt away. She walked away from them because she didn’t want to be in trouble especially with her second cousin. Her mother thought that they were taking care of her since before, but the opposite of it happened.

They always bullied her and made fun of her every now and then. Worst if at school because no one’s around to stop them. 

Angelique didn’t answer them just walked away. She was thankful that her cousin let her walk away. But she knew, everything didn’t end there. 

After a while, she strode inside the school premises, looking down, wishing no one could notice her. But, she really had a bit of bad luck.

She felt a wet and sticky substance thrown at her. Some slime was put inside the balloon and it exploded when it hit her  She just closed her eyes so her eyes will be safe, and she opened them when she knew they were done. Laughter echoed as they taunted her. 

She’s used to this kind of treatment. It never got old. But it doesn’t mean she’s not tired because she is. She wanted to give up her life a long time ago, but she still has a mother to think of. 

She didn’t look at them and then she ran to the nearest bathroom. She always brought extra clothes because it always happens to her. 

No one dared to help her. No one wanted to face the wrath of everyone like she experienced. She chose that way than someone got hurt too and then they will blame it all on her. She already passed through that stage. 

She can still remember how a popular girl tricked her and in the end, she just hurt her. While changing her clothes, she remembered it all like yesterday...

“Angelique, let's go!” Taylor said with a smile on her face. Angelique saw that she’s happy being with her, her true friend according to her, and no one touched them because Taylor came from an influential family. 

Taylor is a beautiful and sexy girl every boy wants. She is what they call, the queen bee. Girls looked up at her and boys following her everywhere. 

“Coming!” she screamed and carried their project. They were partners in their science project that was a really big help because they were friends. 

They were happily walking inside the school, Brixton Colleges of Science and Technology, sharing their ideas. Students they passed through didn’t mind them because they didn’t want to face Taylor and her wrath.  

At first, Taylor was a pest for Angelique’s quiet life, who was also a persistent person to be her friend, saying she wants a real friend. It took too long for Angelique to accept her until Taylor helped her with some of her bullies.

Since then, they were inseparable. When one goes to a bathroom, one will follow. 

When they got to their classroom, they both settled down on their chair, at the same time as the teacher came in. 

“Okay, guys. Please prepare for the presentation of your project,” she said smiling at them all. The said project is a group project where Taylor and Angelique were in one group. 

They all get ready. One by one, they were called until they were the last ones to present. Taylor was the one who presented them, as Taylor suggested with Angelique.

Taylor stood up in front of the class with a smile on her face. She was beautiful and all, so many adored her. 

“You think everything’s perfect? Watch and learn, Pig!” Someone whispered on her back that made her heart beats fast. She knew who was sitting on her back, Taylor’s friend before she approached her. 

She just looked at Taylor, wishing her gut-feeling was not right. But, the opposite happened and her wish vanished like a bubble. 

“That’s a beautiful presentation, Miss Brook. Who made those?” their teacher asked her. 

“Of course, Ma’am…” she paused, looking at Angelique with a smirk on her face. “Just me. I’m intelligent, right?” she said and that's a bomb on Angelique’s ears. The truth, it was all her ideas and all Taylor did was to present them. She never helped her in assembling all of it. 

“So, Angelique didn’t help you?” their teacher asked Taylor and looked at her sharply with one of her brows rising. She’s one of the teachers that terrorized her. 

“That’s not true, Ma’am!” she said without waiting for Taylor to answer. “It’s the opposite. I did all that all night and she just presented it,” she reasoned out but seems everyone is deaf and believing Taylor’s words, that was crying right now. Of course, acting. She’s good at it. 

“Look at her! She just claims my hard work. I worked hard to achieve this kind of presentation.” Taylor told the whole class a whole lie and no one could see that it is a lie. 

“Are you broken now, Pig? Told you!” It was followed by a laugh. “Game over, Pig!” Some whispered again and that broke her heart for friendship. All is just a game...

She closed her eyes and shook her head to erase the memories of last year. That was years ago, but she still felt the betrayal. 

Everything was not bot true and it was just a game. A deal where Taylor got her new designer’s bag. It was all fake. 

She sighed after remembering it. She was really an i***t back there.

She finished her shower and changed her clothes. She brought it inside the bathroom because she already had her lesson when she left her things behind. One time, they hid her clothes and she didn’t have any choice than to run to the forest naked. She was just thankful that she hid some of her clothes there. 

She dressed and walked to her first class of the day. People talking about her again, making fun of her. They never got tired while she was, but kept on holding on for her loved ones. 

She walked inside the noisy classroom and sat down on her assigned sit on the back. No one liked to sit with her after Taylor… and it is better that way. 

The noises stopped when Taylor and her companies came in. Yes. They were still schoolmates, and Taylor bullied her. She was the most bully of them all. 

“Oh!” She exclaimed and sat in front of Angelique with a big smile on her face. “How’s my favorite pet, Pig?”

She didn’t answer her like she didn’t hear anything at all. To what she did, it triggered something in Taylor, her big smile turned into a mischievous one. 

“Oh! Are you sulking? Don’t worry, pig. We will be having fun later.” She smiled again. “See you later, best friend.” She taunted her, stressing the word best friend, and then it was followed by her and her minions’ laugh. 

But Angelique never even gave them a blink of an eye. She was too tired to entertain them all. When the teacher came in, Angelique focused on answering the exam. She was just thankful that they didn’t try to change her grades. That's where her mother will know what’s going on, she didn’t want to be a burden to her mother again. 

When everything’s done, she waited for her classmate to go out before she followed. But everything was planned. 

She got wet again. When she opened the door something poured on her. Everyone laughed at her demise but she showed them that she’s not affected by all of this. 

She walked past them and went to her spot, the forest. There, her only true friend was waiting for her… and she was right. The beast was just sitting on the fallen tree, and when she saw her, it wagged her tail saying how excited she was to see her. 

“Kiara, it is good to see you, too!” Angelique said with a real smile on her face. She was so happy from escaping the hell hole named school. 

Kiara ran to her that made her stumble but she laughed as the beast licked her face. Kiara’s playfulness brings joy to her heart and dying soul. She was so numb down her heart and tired, but someone still loves and cares for her. 

Kiara laid down on the ground showing her tummy, saying she wants to be petted there. Angelique smiled wider and did what her beast wanted her to do. By touching her fur, Angelique calmed down. She didn’t know but Kiara’s presence really calmed her down. 

“They did it again. I’m wet as you see.” She forgot that she was wet when she saw Kiara. She stood up and took her clothes off. 

Angelique has a big body. As she grows older, she becomes fatter. She didn’t know how to lose it. She did all the diet things, exercise, and all, but nothing happened. That’s the main reason why the school was disgusted with her. 

“I don’t know what to do anymore, Kiara,” she told her friend as she wore one of her hidden clothes. “I’m tired of them.”

Kiara answered her with a growl. Barring her canine, showing how to kill. She was mad about what happened to Angelique.

“You want me to kill them?” She asked and then Angelique laughed when Kiara answered her with a growl. “You know I can’t do that. I’m just a weak fat girl who only knows how to do farming and mathematics.” She sat down on the ground with a frown on her face. 

Kiara felt sad for her, so she snuggled on the emotional girl. “Thanks, Kiara. I feel like not a woman yet. That I’m still a girl from six years ago who doesn’t know anything but get comfort from you. And I’m thankful you didn’t get tired of me." She kissed Kiara’s head after her emotional speech. “I love you!”

With those words, Kiara released a moan of satisfaction. Angelique giggled at how Kiara loved the affection coming from her. 

Angelique is the beast that everyone disgusts with. But the wolf Kiara is the beast that loves Angelique.
