Chapter 2

The Struggle

Rosella 

My stepfather stalked towards me with a predatory look in his eyes. He looked at Cole, smiled at him, and said, “Now that is not how you treat a girl, Son.” And then he laughed maniacally.

My body was pinned on the ground by Cole’s body, and then my stepfather came towards us and yanked me by hand, and pushed me towards a tree. My entire body was burning due to dread.

“I think she is strong enough to take both of us together, son. Don’t you think that your father should have some fun as well?” he asked Cole thoughtfully.

“Of course, dad. I think we should both fuck her useless cunt until she is dead. At least we won’t have to deal with her then,” he said with a disgusted expression, and then they both charged at me.

Their pin on me against the tree was hard and forceful. The bark of the tree scratched my back, and I let out a cry. Both the father and son started to touch my entire body together. I felt their hands everywhere on me. My breasts, my cheeks, my face, and I was torn between feeling confused as to what was happening and scared of what may happen if they succeeded in their attempt to rape me.

“She is a slut just like her mother, but she is sexier than her mother,” my stepdad, Nathan, grunted as he forced himself upon me.

Cole pulled my jeans down my legs, and my legs and entire body were quivering due to fear. I was constantly begging and pleading with them to stop, but they didn’t listen to even one plea of mine.

I was crying uncontrollably as they both carried on with their assault on me.

Amidst all the torture I had to bear, I heard a familiar voice.

“Dad! Cole! What are you doing to her& Let go of her right now!” Kate shrieked as she stood far away from us. Her eyes were wide with shock.

I know that the position I was in it is not my fault, but I still felt shame. I opened my eyes slowly to see Kate. Her eyes had teary, and defiance was evident.

“What are you doing here, Kate? Get back inside now!” Cole yelled at her.

However, my sister just walked in front of us boldly, and they both loosened their grip on me, which caused me to fall onto the ground.

She took out a dagger that she was hiding behind her back and raised it in front of our stepfather.

“If you hurt my sister, I will dagger you with this mystical dagger, and you are well aware of how much pain it’s going to cause you,” Kate warned him, and I wished I had even a little of her bravery.

She was everything that I was not. She was brave when I was weak. She was confident when I was timid.

“Put the dagger gown, Kate. We were not harming her,” my stepfather said while moving toward Kate to tame her so that she doesn’t use the dagger on anyone.

That dagger is a mystical weapon given to both of us by our mother. It causes excruciating pain to any supernatural creature, even if it scratches them. It restrains them from using the powers for some time. This dagger is the only good thing she ever did for us. However, I don’t even know how to use a weapon, so it is basically useless to me.

My sister helped me get on my feet and turned to me while still holding onto the dagger, “Are you alright?”

I just nodded mindlessly.

“Get far away from here, and don’t worry about me. I will handle everything here. You just take care of yourself.”

“Don’t do this, Kate! Why the hell would you go against your own fiancé for this useless piece of ass?” Cole yelled at her harshly, his breathing was hard, and his entire body was shaking with rage.

“If you defy us for this slut, I am going to make sure that your life ends in agonizing pain and endless torture. You will be reprimanded from the pack.” My stepdad warned her he was not as affected by Kate’s presence as Cole was. He looked rather cold than startled.

“As if I give a damn about any of that,” she scoffed, and then she looked at me with a vulnerable expression as if this was the last time we were to see each other. “Run away, Rose. Go as far away as you can,” she said with a sad smile on her face.

And I ran away. Away from our pack, away from my miseries, away from the situation like a fucking coward. I can’t believe my sister sacrificed herself for my freedom.

And what did I do? I left her like a fucking weakling to die! I was worried about my sister’s well-being, and while running mindlessly into the woods, I wondered if I would ever see her again.
