I’m Not Just A Human

I felt a stinging pain shoot through my cheek as someone lightly places something very cold on it. I flinch at the stinging and heard a light little voice apologized. I didn’t recognize the voice, so I didn’t know if I should stress or not.  I started to remember the ass whipping I got and realized I must have paused out. Fuck ! Bilbo! I shot up and instantly regret it as pain shot up every piece of my body.

“Wow , wow. You went through a lot. Your body needs rest.” I heard a girly voice say.

“How late is it? I need to pick up my brother?” I said as the dizziness started to fade. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a little redheaded girl. She was probably 17 or 16 but she looked so much younger.

“It’s okay, you have only been out for 40 minutes. Who is your brother and where is he? I’ll go pick him up and bring him back here.” She said in a shy voice. Who is this girl. And why is she helping me. I frowned since I didn’t know what to do. She realised my confusion and continued talking

“I am Layla Frey. I saw how badly the others were treating you and I wanted to stop them, but I knew I couldn’t so I stayed until they left so that I could help you.” She finished.

“Are you also one of them?” I asked before I could stop myself. She looked towards the floor and nodded her head

“I’m a omega in their pack, so I know how it feels when they treat people like this. That’s way I wanted to help you, because I know how badly its needed after one of their fights.” She said with a sad and fearful tone. I lifted my hand and placed it on her shoulder. Giving her a small smile. She returned the smile.

“I’m sorry their such assholes. My name is Sophia Hale, but my friend call me Sof. My brother is Noah Hale and his in Red Hawk school. I would really appreciate it, if you would fetch him. Just tell him your a friend of mine and if he doesn’t believe you say – Bilbo, Fify needs you to come with me. He will believe you then.” I finish with a smile.

“The school is just down the street. I’ll go fetch him, well you rest here, … Sof.” she said with a bigger smile and quickly took her keys and walked out if the door, before saying a quick goodbye.

I think we will be good friends. I smile to myself. I finally have a friend. I look around the room and realise I have no idea where I am. This can’t be Layla’s house since she is a teenager and all teenagers have to stay in a pack house. I know that much. I’ll ask her when she comes back. Maybe it won’t be so bad here.

I was woken up, by someone laughing. I slowly stood up, because my head was still sore as hell and everything else still ache. I move out of the lightly pink painted room and into a green painted living room. I smile at the scene in front of me. Noah was running around the couches well Layla was chasing him. He was laughing so much, it melted my heart. After a few second Layla notices me and Noah also. They both looked scared and shock to see me.

Noah slowly walked towards me tears forming at the back of his eyes. Why does he want to cry? He took my hand and pulled me downwards so that I would be eye level with him. He lifted his small hand and placed it on my still sore face. That when I knew what was going on. Not because I remember that I was beaten, but, because of Noah’s action. Whenever I would get beaten or burned by our father Noah would place his hand as lightly as he could on the place that it hurt, as if he could take the pain away, just like he is doing know. His tears started to fall and just as he started to cry so did I. We ran away from home so that we wouldn’t have to deal with abuse and to move forward with our lives, but I feel like we just took 20 steps backwards.

“I’m sorry Sophia. We can leave. I know you want to keep me safe, but their are better options then this. This place isn’t worth it anymore. ” Noah cried out and gave me a hug. I patted his back until he started to calm down a bit and then I pulled back so that I could look into his eyes

“Like always Bilbo you are right. I don’t want this to be our new life. I promised you happiness and joy and a real life, but this isn’t it. This is just new people with the same problem. We will leave right after my birthday okay?” I finished and he smiled and nodded. I stood up and walked to Layla. I gave her a light hug and then looked her straight in the eyes.

“And you my new friend will be joining us.” She looked taken back, but Noah jumped up and down and yelled at the top of his lungs.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Yayyy, our new friend is joining us, our new friend is joining us, ya ya ya!”

We all laughed at his behavior. And she looked at me and nodded. So it was settled, for the weekend we stayed at Layla granny’s house. The one with the pink bedroom and green living room. We planned everything out and had fun the entire weekend. We watch movies and ate pizza, we played board games and had lots and lots of conversations. She told me how badly the pack – Bloodmoon pack – treated her and how she was basically a slave to them and I told her everything as well. I told her about my parents and my stepfather. We laughted about a lot of things but that night we cried our eyes out. That’s when I also decide that I love Layla and that I will not see her as a friend, but as a part of my family.

It just sucks that Monday, we will have to go back to school and face all the other problems in our lives.
