The pain woke me up again.I jolted awake gripping my left side .I got up quickly and ran to the bathroom .Pulling my shirt aside I gazed into the mirror there.The bruise was getting bigger each day.I howled in pain as an excruciating wave of pain passed my left side and then just like the other times it disappeared completely leaving only the bruise as evidence.

I looked at the red hued eyes.It was getting difficult to keep my eyes in check now.Anything that threatened my well being triggered the red hue.It kept escaping the tight leash I kept on emotions.I was scared.But there was no one I could confide my fears in.

After Granna left yesterday,I worked my day in the perfecting the small garden which was already becoming a large part of my life here.It helped me to stay sane and not dwell on other things in my life.When working, hardly any thought entered my head and in a way I was at peace despite the hard,irregular and mundane everyday existence of this new life.

I washed my face and made my way back to bed.

After many attempts of trying to sleep,my lids finally gave in and I went in deep slumber.

My eyes opened to find the shining rays of sun falling on my face.I jerked up.I slept too late today.I got up and freshened myself to go tend my garden.I was late.

The day opened like any other and already I was making a list as to what was to be done in the garden today.

I walked down the stairs and towards the door preoccupied in my thoughts when a voice stopped me.

I looked at Ravine motioning me with her finger to come closer.I trudged my steps to her slowly,surprised.

"Bring me a cup of coffee." I stood confused.She looked at my stupefied face and repeated irritated "Well do you need a written invitation to bring that cup."

I looked at her mother sitting at the table sipping from her cup looking at us.

What is happening here.?Ravine's talking to me..?!!Does she has some trick up her sleeve.?

No,maybe she's just trying to involve me.Trying to make some bridge between us.

I went to the kitchen and remembering to not enter the kitchen,I looked inside to find Martha there.

"Ravine wants her cup of coffee." I said politely.She looked at me suspiciously and came out to inquire Ravine about it.Getting a nod from Leann she proceeded with her task.Handing me the tray she shooed me away with her hand.

Shaking my head slightly,ignoring her,I took the tray to Ravine.As I reached the table,Leann pushed her leg out throwing me off balance.The cup on the tray fell down slipping the coffee on Ravine's shoes .I took a step back quickly to prevent any from falling on her legs.

Ravine screamed."Ouch,you bitch.You burned me.?"

Leann got up as well and inspected her daughter.I was sure that I was successful in my attempt to save her.Taking the table cloth Leann started dabbing at her daughter's legs.Then suddenly turning to me she slapped me hard on the face.I fell down over the spilled coffee."You did this on purpose,didn't you..?You are just trying to take your hatred out on her."

"N-no..No..No..it was a mistake.Please believe me.I didn't do it on purpose.." I pleaded.

"AAghhh. it's burning ." Ravine cried out.

"Don't worry sweetheart..Aiinata,Martha..!! anyone.!! .bring some ice here right now." The ruckus created now had everyone's attention.

"Mom,its hurting me." Ravine screeched again.

The front door opened and Aeran walked in with other guys.Inspecting the scene he directed the question to Leann."What happened here.?"

"Aeran."Hearing Ravine's voice his gaze focused on her.He took the few steps towards her.

"That fucking bitch burned my daughter.She spilled the hot coffee on her on purpose.Can you believe her.?Why did she have to ."

Before Leann could complete her rant Aeran turned to me still on ground.His furious face had me backing away.My body started shaking."Did you do this.?"He asked quietly.But his quiet voice didn't fool anyone.

"I-I didn't do it on purpose.I swear.I didn't. The mug shook.."His sudden movement towards me halted anything I had to say.

I howled as he grabbed my hair forcefully in his hand and started dragging me to the door much to my shock."Get out" He roared in anger.I couldn't think.

This cruelty was beyond my thoughts.Despite the shock,I tried proving my honesty.

"I didn't do it.I didn't" I kept on chanting to stop this madness.I looked at the others for help."please,Please stop this."I begged again.No help came.They were too interested to know what Aeran will do next ,to stop him.I saw Martha nodding her head at Aeran as if justifying and agreeing with his brutal behavior.Leann and Ravine were enjoying this too much to stop him.

"Get the fuck out of my home" He bellowed again.

He cruelly kept me dragging out the door ,not giving me the chance to get up.I tried putting up resistance but he was much stronger than me to thwart my attempts to stop him.

"Aeran,stop it." Aiinata screamed and ran to Aeran."This is not right." Leann came forward and grabbed Aiinata's hand to stop her.

The three guys who came with him sidestepped and gave way.Throwing open the door he pushed me away.I toppled over the stairs and hit the ground hard.

"Don't let her inside again.Do you hear me.It's Alpha's order." He shouted to the others inside and drew the doors closed.

I brought my hands up to my forehead.There was a big painful bump.I sat up and looked at the closed doors.I was horrified.

Too disturbed and appalled at this incident to acknowledge any hurt I felt.Slowly I got myself up and walked to my garden.I knew my eyes were rimmed red but I didn't pay any attention to anything that was happening.I just continued on my path.

When I got up this morning I didn't realize that this day was going to be any different than any other.

Oh! how wrong I was.
