Entries 2 and 3

~Entry 2~

Today I was late for class and wound up getting detention. The thing is, I am not allowed to be late getting home from school. However, and this is probably sad to say, I am getting used to the beatings. Whether it be from my father or the kids here at school. No one in this pack seems to want to help me, and even if they could, they would get into trouble.

All day I have been hearing my classmates call me so many names. Majority of them are always the same. Worthless, ugly, fat, sl*t, and some other names that I will not mention.

Once I got to my house, I was not even able to make it inside before my father threw open the front door.

"YOU'RE LATE! GET IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW! TIME FOR YOUR PUNISHMENT." He screamed at me.

Instead of replying, I made my way into the house. As soon as the door closed he grabbed me by the hair and started punching me where ever he could. When I fell to the floor he proceeded to kick me. What felt like hours later he was finally done, but I was not able to get up from the spot I was curled up in. So, not wanting me to be in his view, my father harshly picked me up, and threw me into my bedroom.

"I do not want to see you the rest of the day. You will have NO food or water until I say otherwise." He said, and then locked me into my room.

There have been so many times that I have wanted to just give up, but I know that will not solve anything. It will just mean that they win.

~Entry 2~

Today had been a long day at school, which is normal for me. I was walking up the stairs to the house after school let out, and when I got to the front door I was grabbed from behind. They placed one hand on my mouth, to stop me from screaming, and the other went around my waist and lifted me off my feet. Once they had me lifted, they started walking towards the back of the house where the forest line was. At this point I was doing everything I could to get away from whoever this person was.

"Stop struggling." A male voice said. As soon as I heard his voice, I knew it was Tyler. "You are going to enjoy this." He continued darkly.

Slowly the hand that he had around my waist moves up to my left breast, and squeezed harshly. The pain from this made me let out a little scream. I am so scared, this has never happened to me before. I am used to harsh words and beatings, not this.

Finally coming to my senses, I used my right foot to kick his shine hard enough for him to stop walking. Then I threw my head back and heard something crack. However, I did not stay long enough to see the damage I had caused to him.

*Lucas*

Rage, anger, sadness, sympathy, and guilt. Those are the emotions that I am currently dealing with right now. Dom is growling so loud in my head right now, so I guess he is feeling the same as I am.

-Me: What are you thinking Dom?

-Dom: I am thinking that if we ever cross paths with either of those men again, they will be ripped to shreds.

-Me: I agree with you on that one. But right now we have to help Natalie get through this.

-Dom: You're right. How are we going to do that though?

-Me: Just keep in contact with Midnight. That way if there is something wrong with Natalie she can tell you. I will also be more observant to her emotions and expressions.

-Dom: Okay, that sounds like a plan.

After talking with Dom I tried to get a little more work done. However, all I could think about was Natalie and how I was going to be able to help her. So I decided that I was done for the day and started putting things away.

Once my office was organized I exited my office and made my way to our bedroom suite. Hopefully she is still in there, although I know she will not be going around the pack house without me right now. That is another thing that I am going to have to work on with her.

Finally I made it back to our bedroom door. Opening the door I was able to see the outline of Natalie on the bed. So trying to be as quiet as I could, I made my way over to her.

After I was crouched down in front of her, I could see that her nose was scrunched up, and she almost had a fearful expression. I guess she is having a nightmare.

"Natalie, baby you need to wake up. You are having a nightmare." I say to her as I am lightly shaking her shoulder. Ever so slowly her eyes started to flutter open. "Hey, are you okay now?"

"Mmmm, yeah. Thank you for waking me up." She said with a small smile. "I take it you read the first entries, huh?"

"I did, and I am so sorry that I was not able to get to you sooner. I feel so guilty about not being there." I told her with guilt in my eyes.

"There is nothing you need to be guilty about Lucas. You saved me at the right time, and that is all that matters to me." She said as she put a hand on my cheek.

"Well, just know that I am here now, and so is Dom. I am going to be more observant to your emotions and facial expressions, that way I know when you are not doing okay. Plus Dom is going to be talking with Midnight more and let me know when I need to get to you." I told her with a serious expression that says, don't-even-try-to-say-otherwise.

"Okay, thank you." Natalie said with a smile.
