Seven years later.......
Lyla's POV
krinnnnnkkkkkkk !!!
The sound of my alarm going off, got me jumping out off bed.
I quickly turned it off, not wanting to feel the wrath of my family for waking them up too early..
The weary clock blinked 4:35 am.
I sighed as I quickly rushed out of my bedroom to start my daily chores.
At 5:45 I was done with cleaning the entire house, bar the bedrooms in use, I quickly took a shower and got ready for school. Rushing down the stairs,
I put on an apron and began to work on breakfast.
I laid out croissants and some freshly baked coconut bread.
Then started on the pancakes, bacon and eggs.
When i was done, with the bacon, pancakes and eggs, I made some fresh orange juice and set the table.
Then picked up an old almost mushy apple from the fruit basket behind the kitchen door and let my self out of the house.
I munched on the apple as I walked to school.
I have been living with my uncle Fred and his family in the supreme royal pack for seven years now and its been painful.
They are a family of witches from an ancient blood line. The bloodline stems from my uncle and my mothers family,
the Whitlocks.
My uncles mate and wife, aunt Helen is also a witch.
The thing about witches is that they don't need to waste time and energy hitting you, since they don't have the strength of a wolf,a Lycan or a Vamp.
They just imagine you in pain and say the magic words "Pain" and then you wish for death instead.
Sometimes all they need yo make you suffer is a flick of their fingers.
Aunt Helen is the aunt from hell specially created for me. She mercilessly causes me pain on a daily basis.
Although, the reason for her behavior, baffles me till this day.
But despite all my sufferings and travails, I am grateful, at least for the roof over my head and the food I can get.
School is my only refuge, although I still get bullied mercilessly there.
Not everyone is mean to me.
I still remember my old pack, it was a good pack, with a huge number of wolves and hybrids, it was a wealthy pack, I remember my mom and her friends loved to shop for themselves and for the pack members.
It used to be fun, trying out all those clothes and not heeding my mum's warnings, only to end up in an unimaginable tangled heap.
Every female child, with Whitlock blood is born blonde. Its been that way since the beginning of time.
I was blonde too at birth, but that changed after my seventh birthday.
I had fallen Ill, a week after my birthday, it was an unusual ailment. The pack doctors didn't know what was wrong with me. They even sought help from other pack doctors, to no avail.
Then I remember waking up to my mum crying, she told me I had been unconscious for two weeks.
But everyone was happy that I was finally awake. My hair had fallen of while I was unconscious like I had cancer or something, then grew back when gained consciousness, but the color was now black.
After that, I was too weak to do anything for months, I couldn't walk and could barely eat.
Then one day I was fine, but then some weeks later, I woke up feeling very hot, mom said I had a very bad high fever, but that I would be fine.
The memory of the pains that wracked through my body that day from the fever,makes me shudder as I took the last bend and the school building came into veiw.
My parents and my pack we're murdered three years later, the rouges had come for me, that much I know, but have kept that information to myself, because aunt Helen will JP at any opportunity to throw me out. But I still didn't know why the rogues had come for me.
My mom sent me to my uncle that night, before the attack, after putting me to sleep in a royal supreme border transport train, with a parcel for my uncle, I had cried and begged not to be sent away, somehow I'd, had this foreboding feeling that my life was about to change. I knew my parents were sending me away.
But I didn't understand why, did I do some thing wrong, Whatever it was I had promised to never ever do it again.
They didn't listen to me though.
My uncle picked me up hours later, took me home and my hell began.
Aunt Helen immediately put me to work.
at the age of ten. I had to learn fast, I also learnt quickly that my uncle couldn't interfere in matters involving me at home.
I was given a week to learn everything from house chores to doing laundry and also cooking basic meals.
I went from being my parents little p ( little princess) to a maid.
So yes, I have been doing all types of chores at home, while eating leftovers and spoilt food.
And also, being beaten by my cousins or aunt Helen, at will.
Pain had become daily occurrence for me.
"Good morning Mr. Manuel" I say as I walk past the school's facility manager.
"Morning "
"Hawweryou, little one"? He asks.
"Fine" I mutter as I walk past him.
I Sigh again as I reach my Locker and get the books, I need for the day and head for class.
I am always early and have at least thirty minutes of peace and quiet before class starts, and the glares and hateful stares with promises of bullying begins.
I say a silent prayer to Alena and Athena the moon goddesses for mercy and leniency, before I continue reading a book titled, the psychology of the supremists.
I am Infatuated with everything concerning our kind, I have read almost all history books available to a human like me and more, I have sneaked into Libraries just to read about our kind so I kinda, know a lot.
I can't take any of these books home so I read as much as I can when I am out of the house.
The rest of my time is dedicated to my uncle's family.
Also, I am kind off a nerd, I am top of my class and I am sure I have secured one of the twenty-two kings court scholarships to study in College.
College is very cheap compared to what humans pay in their world, but no one will pay for me, as Aunt Helen would prefer me at home slaving away to nothingness.
That's why I need for the scholarship.
After reading for a while, the door to the classroom is swung open and my biggest nightmare walks in with a glare.
The hateful blonde beauty called Amelia, a vampire- Lycan, mated to my cousin Carson(a supreme wizard).
she seems excited to see me as she drags me by my hair and flings me to the front of the class.
"Oooooh Nice throw Ames" one of her worshipers Deanna coos.
Lisa, Deanna and Rick make up Amelia's close circle of friends, whom I call, her worshippers.
I grunt and grumble in my mind, while rolling my eyes at the ground. Because yet again my prayers to the moon goddess have fallen on deaf ears.
I whimper in pain as my books and bag are thrown at me.
I am the youngest in my set, every one else is 18 or 19, I like to tell my self i am seventeen but i am not quite there yet.
This is my last year in school,and I have suffered broken bones, concussions, dislocations and generally being beaten and picked on, its more like my daily routine.
Oh dear goddess, I can't wait to graduate.
"For an all A's student you are such a dumba*s human !!!"
she shouts as she calls me what everyone except uncle Fred calls me at home.
Dumb**s i***t ,
Dumb**s fool, always something Dumb**s.
Dumb and a*s is beginning to feel like a new name.
"I have told you several times, to never sit when the class is empty.
And to stand by the door until everyone is seated before you do,
but Nooo, Dumb**s wants to be corrected all the time."
She huffs and takes a seat, as other students begin to arrive. I Stand by the door, and when everyone is seated,
I take the last seat In front, by the door, gritting my teeth, to effectively stop any sound from slipping out of my mouth, as pain shot through my back.
Just then , the Algebra teacher walks in and class begins.
