Reborn

Chapter Two ~ Escaped

Jasmine

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you" I said softly to the bird who was laying infront of the crack in my wall, his wing looked broken and he looked just as scared as me. He seemed to have relaxed at my soothing words as I slowly lifted him up with my two hands.

He looked at me, thankful for my kindness and I smiled down at him. I untwisted his wing and he flapped it to see if it still hurt. Luckily the crack was big enough for me to fit my hand through as I let the bird fly free again.

I could see storm clouds form above in the sky, so I knew there was going to be a storm soon. The sun was barely up so I knew it was early in the morning.

I climb back in my blood stained bed and just as my head hit the pillow the door flew open.

"Wake up!" My father shouted as his daughter and wife follow behind him. They're daughter, Lilly, was the complete opposite of her parents. She was kind and sweet, she sometimes came to talk to me when she got the chance. She passed me a sad, weak smile which I quickly return as I sit up on my bed.

"Your blood isn't working so well for us anymore dear" My step mother said as she carefully sat down next to my father. I looked at them confused, this was the first time my blood had failed for them.

"What do you mean? My blood always works, things like this never happen" I said, my step mother nodded and rolled her eyes at the same time.

"What we mean, stupid girl, is that your blood doesn't keep us from ageing anymore. We're drinking injecting the blood for nothing!" He shouted as he got up from the chair, picked it up and threw it at the wall.

"So what do we do now Jasper? We can't age, I'm not ready!" Regina said Dramatically.

"Neither am I Regina, but I have a plan, don't worry" He said as he grabbed her shoulders to calm her down and I shifted in my seat as the both of them looked at me.

"I went to see a witch yesterday, the one who's been helping us." My father said. Regina looked at him, raising both her eyebrows at him.

"And?" 

"She told me how to make the spell permanent. We don't have to age again."

"That's amazing!" Regina screamed excitingly and I felt a tiny bit of hope raise in my chest.

What if they don't need me anymore?

Will I be set free?

"How?" She asked as she twisted a piece of her red curly hair between her fingers.

"By using Jasmine's heart" He said after a moment of silence. My heart started to pound in my chest as I looked between them. They want to kill me...for good?

Lilly's eyes held the same emotion as mine, shock and fear.

"So we will kill Jasmine for good?" Regina asked as she looked at me, my dad's eyes flickered to me and I saw no signs of emotion in his cold eyes.

"Yes" my dad said with a smirk, and I felt tears build up in my eyes.

I knew he hated me but I didn't know it was so bad that he wanted me dead. Forcing myself to push the tears back I laid back against the wall on my bed.

"W-We can't do that" Lilly said fear dripping from her tone. My dad's head snapped to her and he stoood up.

"Shut up child" He said as he lifted his hand to slap her.

"Stop" I said quickly as I sat up, everyone looked at me and I sighed.

"Y-You can do it" I shakily said looking at my hands that where rested on my lap.

"Oh dear, We were going to do it anyway." Regina said.

"Put her to sleep I want this over and done with quickly" My father said as he walked out of the cramped room, my step mother following behind him.

"I'm so sorry" Lilly said sniffing, I quickly hugged her to show comfort and she hugged me back.

"Don't worry it's not your fault" I said gently rubbing her back.

"I should be helping you instead I'm sitting here scared of what my own parents might do to me" she said as she wiped away a tear from her cheek. I felt bad for her, that she had to be dragged into this mess, she's only fifteen.

"I don't want you to blame yourself I want you to be happy and not worry about me okay?" I told her, she looked like she was fighting with herself before she nodded

"Lilly, move now" Her mother said as she was roughly removed from me. Lilly ran to the door as she gave me a sad nod.

I sighed as I looked at the big needle Regina was holding as she walked to me.

"Lie down" she ordered and I obeyed. I felt the sting of the needle prick my arm and I closed my eyes to try and distract myself from the hurt.

I'll never be a wife or a mother, I'll never see my kids grow or know the feeling of love and happiness, I'll never laugh or smile again, I'll never feel the sun on my skin or feel the grass under my feet.

But at least I will be with the people I had lost.

I'll see you soon mot-

My thoughts where cut off as I heard a smash making me open my eyes quickly and saw Regina falling to the floor, my vision was blurry due to the some of the sedate that she injected into me. Blinking my eyes a couple times I see Lilly standing next to me with half a broken glass bottle in her hand.

She looked down at her mom, fear filling her eyes. She quickly looked at me and took the needle out of my arm helping me sit up.

"L-Lilly?" I asked confused and she nodded.

"Look you don't have much time, my dad will be here in any minute and I don't know how long my mom will be unconscious, so you need to run, now." She said unlocking my chains, my hand slowly touched my ankle where the chain was once before.It felt weird not having a heavy metal chain attached to me.

A small smile slipped onto my lips.

I was free

"I can't leave you, who knows what he will do." I said, one tear escaping my eye. She shook her head as she pushed me towards the open door. 

"Don't worry about me Jasmine. You have to run...now!" I didn't have time to say anything else. Panic filled me to quickly so I did what I could..run.

Hard drops of rain fell onto my skin, the sun was hidden behind storm clouds but it still felt like it was stinging my skin. The smell of wet grass and mud filled my nostrils, making a smile once again appear on my face.

The sound of a car brought me out of my trans and I quickly started to run, I felt my speed increase only more as the wind boosted my body. I ran and ran without looking back, without stopping to catch my breath...because this feeling was so amazing that I didn't want to stop.

The feeling of being free.
