AUTUMN ROSE by Lisa Ann (phonics reader TXT) 📕

A little background info on Autumn

{Autumn's P.O.V.}

It's been a year and a half since I was kidnapped on November 5, the day before my birthday. I was gone for 4 months before I was found.

After I was found I was finally reunited with my older brother Blake, who I thought I would never see again.

Since our parents were killed that day we moved in with our Aunt Kelly so we could start over fresh in the town she lived in.

We moved in over the summer and had three months to get settled down. Soon school would be starting and I was a little worried and scared about being around people I didn't know.

Only my brother and my Aunt Kelly knew why I didn't like crowds, other people touching me or being around guys.

The only time I don't flinch or have a panick attack is when I around my brother or my Aunt Kelly.

As long as I had my family then I would be okay. But what I didn't know was that on the first week of school I would meet someone that would change my life forever.

{Still Autumn's P.O.V.}

I didn't have to worry about wanting to stay in bed longer after I heard my alarm go off because there was no point when you have nightmares that keep you up.

Most of the time I tired going back to sleep, but it would just make it worse.

"Autumn Rose breakfast is ready!" I heard Aunt Kelly yelled from downstairs.

She always use my first and middle name when she wants me to do something.

"Coming!" I replied.

I pulled myself out of bed to get a quick shower.

Once I was done with my shower I went to my closet to find something to wear.

I pulled out a pair of dark skinny jeans, a grey and purple stripped tee with sleeves that came to my elbow, a white tank to go underneath and a pair of Blake's old biker boots.

After getting dressed I put my hair up in a messy bun, grabbed my phone, house keys, and school bag.

I made my way out my room and down the hall.

When I got to the kitchen I took a deep calming breath so Blake wouldn't ask what was wrong like he always does.

"Morning little sis," Blake grinned before pulling me into a big bear hug.

"Morning to you too big bro," I smiled sleeply.

Blake looked at my narrowing his eyes to find something wrong, but all he did was smile and went to fill his plat full of food.

I sighed in relief when he didn't ask me nothing.

Blake was wearing dark jeans, a blue tee with his new pair of biker boots.

It was easy to tell we were siblings cause we had the same hair color.

I had long curly auburn hair with bright emerald green eyes that sometimes turned a pale green.

While Blake had short wavy auburn hair with warm hazel eyes.

After sitting down next to Blake, my Aunt placed two plates down in front of us with food filled on them.

She made eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast with orange juice.

By the time I had finished eating Blake was already finished with his second plate.

"You are such a pig," I laughed at Blake as I put my plate in the sink.

"Whatever. So that's where my boots went?" Blake questioned pointing down at my feet.

"Yah, I stole them cause they fit me and there comfy too," I smiled.

Blake stood there for a few seconds then smirked, "So you had them the entire time I was looking for them?"

I nodded my head yes patting his cheek.

He laughed, "Well then I'm glad you have them cause that means that I didn't waste money buying my new ones."

Then we said bye to our Aunt Kelly and went to grab our jackets from the coat closet.

I took one of Blake's old hoodies that was black and he grabbed his leather jacket.

Stuffing the hoodie in my bag I took a deep breath before following my brother out to the car.

I just pray that my first day is not bad.

{This chapter will be split into both Autumn's and Blake's P.O.V.S}


{Autumn's P.O.V.}

The whole car ride to school I just starred out the window.

I was trying not to freak out too much that would cause Blake to worry.

Blake pulled in the parking lot and got out to come around and open the door for me.

"Just breath Autumn, ok? You're gonna be fine, nothing is going to happen to you here," Blake resurred me as he slung his arm over my shoulders.

Breathing slowly I shrugged, "I know as long as your close by that everything will be fine. I'm just a little scared that's all."

Since my brother was a Shifter or werewolf as some call them, I knew I would be safe.

We have a closer bond than most siblings our age would ever have.

Blake has been very protective of me since that day and I don't blame him for being that way, I mean, who could.

We walked through the front doors of our new school so Blake could get our schedules.

People starred at us as we got closer to the main office.

I stayed close by Blake's side when we got to the front desk.

I was freaking out just enough that I wasn't paying any attention to Blake trying to give me my schedule.

"Autumn?" I heard Blake question.

This is no time to be freaking out when you haven't even started class yet.

"I'm ok," I repiled taking my schedule and comparing it to his.

We had a total of 8 classes and every other class I had with him, starting with 2nd.

This was going to be harder because I would have to start my 1st class off with not knowing anyone.

Shit. I'm totally going to have a panick attack.

"There's nothing to worry bout. Just remember that the principal and all our teachers already know what happend because Aunt Kelly told them so it would make it easier on us in case something happend," Blake informed me.

My Aunt Kelly had told me and Blake last night all of this because she didn't want there to be any problems in case I had a panick attack or just needed to leave school early.

To make myself feel better I asked Blake a question that I already knew the answer too.

"You'll have your phone on right? And if I want to leave early from my classes or anything I can do that too?"

Blake hugged me tightly, "Yeah, I'll have my phone on at all times so you can call me anytime you need to and if you need to leave class early then you can do that."

"Ok. I think I'm ready to go to 1st now,"

When Blake pulled out of the hug we went to go find our lockers and I was happy to see that they near each other.


{Blake's P.O.V.}


There were two lockers in between my locker and Autumn's.

As I opened my locker to put my things away I heard someone ask Autumn a question.

I looked up to see a girl with short wavy red hair and warm chocolate brown eyes opening up the locker next to Autumn's.

She was the same height as my sister which had to be about 5'5 since I was about 6'3.

"Hi my names Zoe! What's yours?" the girl smiled to my sister.

Autumn took a small enough step back from the girl named Zoe that she didn't even notice.

Closing my locker quickly, I went to stand next to Autumn so she didn't freak out.

"It's nice to meet you Zoe. I'm Blake and this is my sister Autumn we're new here," I smiled back, placing my arm over Autumn's shoulder so that she would relax.

Zoe's smile got even bigger, "That means I get to show ya'll around school. This is going to be so awesome cause I get to hang with the new kids."

Wow! Zoe is a really bubbly person in the morning.

I looked down at Autumn and noticed that she was smiling too. Maybe being friends with Zoe will help her feel more comfortable in school when I'm not around.

"Do you mind if I see if we have any classes together?" Zoe asked.

"No I don't mind," Autumn said handing Zoe her schedule.

Zoe then started jumping up and down clapping her hands.

"We have the same classes together! Now I'll have someone to finally talk to!"

This made me feel even better that Autumn would know at least one person in the classes that I didn't have with her.

"Do you mind if I hang out with you Zoe?" Autumn asked shyly.

Zoe smiled at me for a few seconds then looked at Autumn.

"That would be so awesome because I don't have many friends to hang out with here either and Blake can hang with us too,"

This time Zoe looked me in the eyes and I felt a spark flow through me and I knew she did too because she glanced from me to my sister.

In that moment I knew that she was my mate. Maybe that's why Autumn didn't shy away from Zoe when she wanted be friends with her.
