Start To End (COMPLETED)

chapter fifty two

I instantly bended down to her height when I saw the tears piling up in her bright moonlid eyes. Her face had fallen and I didn't like that and it caused a biting fear to ignite in my chest at the sadden face of the young girl

Outstretching my hands I placed them softly on her shaken up shoulder blazes and stared at her watery eyes as she started back at me. Her bottom lip trembled as she looked at me and I saw a younger version of Zac in my eyes

Brushing my thoughts to the side I stared back at her with concern lacing in my eyes

"What's wrong, tesoro? Who hurt you sw-." I was cut of when a tear slid down her cheek and her small arms wrapped tightly around my neck in a split second. The grip she held me in ment that she needed my help and didn't want me to let her go

Unknowingly in my instincts I wrapped my own arms around her waist. I pulled her protectively close to my body, as if shielding her away from whatever she was running away from. Holding her small frame close to my body and covering her up

When she nuzzled her teary face into my neck I felt Hayden's or Jayden's mark burn up and heat my body up, and not in a good enjoyable way but a painful torturing way

Taking no notice of the burning pain that engaged my body, I moved my lowered eyes up and locked them onto Mrs. Linda's concerned ones and Mrs. Stone's sadden ones. Mrs. Stone's face fell down into a more panicked one when Ruby let out a little wail, in pain?

Her body was heating up at a rapid paste in my grasp and I panicked, unsure of what to do with the small girl in my arms. It wasn't very likely for a supernatural child's body temperature to heat up like hers

Her body was burning against my skin, like fire was Lighting up my skin but I didn't dare let her go. I couldn't when I could feel her tears starting to prickle down the side of my neck and wet that area

"Ruby, honey?" Taking my eyes of the empty spot -that Mrs. Stone was standing at earlier- I was pointlessly staring at I once again lowered my gaze down in front of me to see a very concerned and worked up Mrs. Stone

Ruby's tightened her arms around me when she heard her mothers soft voice and my eyebrows wrinkled together in confusion but I held back into her. Giving her a comforting hug while Mrs. Stone started at her child's back helplessly

The helplessly look in her eyes didn't suit her and it also caused my heart to clench the more I looked up at her face and eyes

I took my eyes of Mrs. Stones face to have them settled onto the men, two boys and Mrs. Linda that occupied the room as well. Everyone's face had fallen as they stared down at the young girl that was gripping onto me like I was her life line

"I-I don't l-like her..." Ruby cried into my neck after she had managed to mumble those words out of her in a trembling fearful voice

Her voice came out muffled and I want sure if anyone else heard her other then me and Mrs. Stone

Confusion swirled up into me about the her Ruby was talking about but I didn't pressure her and ask her more questions and just held her tightly into my arms. That's all she need, a hug from someone at the moment

'Her?' Anna questioned with a range of emotions swirling through her fixated eyes. Her voice seemed distanced but I could feel the anger her voice provided for her closed of body. The anger between us and our two mates

I felt an ache in my heart when I heard Ruby let out another little sob in my arms

"Ruby, honey." Mrs. Stone started in a gentle tone as she moved her hand up to touch Ruby's shoulder but instantly dropped it back to her side as Ruby sniffed into my neck "Ruby, look at mammy please?" Mrs. Stone asked in a pleading voice and my inside seemed to have calmed down after hearing her voice

Her voice was so gentle and kind, it's wasn't anything near to the harsh tone my mother would usually use against me. No Mrs. Stone's voice doesn't even compare to the high pitch voice my mother would use against me

Moms voice was harsh while Stones was soft and understanding, not something my mind was used to hear from a mothers tones

But what would I know about how a mother treats her kids. I didn't really grow up with a mother figure in my life, no she came in and out of my life most of the time and was a druggy

She hated her kids, and didn't want anything to do with them. She up and left when I was around fourtheen and that's when all the beatings, nightmares, scars and my traumas started from. That's when I left high school and become to take on part-time jobs to provide for my drunked dad and my slibings

That's also when I become the best of friends with Ben and Bella. They helped me through my tough times and I still don't know how to repay them for the trouble that I made them go through with me and my life back then

They not only helped me but helped my younger siblings as well and that warmed my heart up

I was closer to Ben then I was to Bella but that didn't mean that me and her didn't hold a special sister and sister bond. But was that bond being broken now? Was that kind going to be ripped away from the two of us after I had found out the truth?

My own eye slight teared up when my thoughts kept being pounded into my head nonstop

I wanted them thoughts to go away! I wanted some freedom and wanted this to go away! I didn't want mates! I didn't ask for any of this...

I hid my face into Ruby's hair to hide my vulnerable face from everyone's slight and finally let the tears that had waited in my eyes and let them slip down my face as o held the small girl in my scared arms

Holding Ruby in my arms bought me unwanted memories that made me into the person I am today and I didn't know how to feel about that. It was overwhelming and my thoughts just wouldn't stop going into my head

My eye lids felt heavy with the few tears that had streamed down my face, without my contestant

One thing about me was that I hated showing my emotions but then again you can't always keep your walls up high. Those walls are bound to break one day and you just have to embrace yourself for the worst or best outcome for yourself

Pulling Ruby closer to me I saw a younger version of myself laying pale on the floor while my blood decorated my skin with black and blue bruise shown on different part of my body

My body was being laid on the cold floor of a basement with a dislocated shoulder and ankle, ripped closed and bruised hands from fighting back but putting myself through worst trouble

I wish I died trying to live. It would have been way easier for me and everyone else
