moonlight secrets by Caitlin Keeton aka Gaara (world of reading TXT) 📕

way to school coming up with how she would be when she got older. It was a known fact that people like her always ended up with the short end of the stick. Or so we liked to think. We were halfway down the hall when Emily bumped into someone. It must have been the new guy. Although he wasn’t my type I could understand why everyone had made such a big deal about him. He had brown shaggy hair that went just below his chin, chocolate brown eyes, and was tall and muscular. Emily stood there standing there looking into his eyes as though she couldn’t look away and by the look on the other guys face I could see that he to was having trouble looking away. Awww that’s so cute I thought smiling and walking away I knew they needed some privacy. She was so into the moment she didn’t even notice that I had walked away. I sat down at my normal desk wondering if I should save her seat. What if that guy had the same class as us? Would he want to sit with her alone. I felt dread I was happy for her but I was a little hesitant to share my new friend but I knew that by the way they looked at each other I would. Emily came in giggling and to my relief alone and sat next to me. I turned around and raised my eyebrows at her asking an unspoken question.
“He asked me out!” wait what? hadn’t they just meet? But then again it wasn’t my business. I smiled and congratulated her I was happy for her I told myself. But the truth was I was jealous. I had been here my whole life and not once had I had someone like me like that. Instead all I had was my step father who had just rapped me five days ago. But then again maybe it was a good thing I didn’t have that. I had learned a long time ago that people disappointed you. Relying on other people could make you go insane.

I cried out in pain as my step father drug me up the stares by my hair. His nails were digging in my scalp. He was so fast that I couldn’t even try and walk up the stares instead all I could do was drag I could already feel the bruises form. He took me up into the bathroom where I saw it was filled with water. He drug me to the tub and shoved my head under the water. I lost count of the times he had left me under there for several minutes then pulled me up for only a seconded then plunging me back under. Oh god I thought I’m going to die I thought. My tattoo was burning as if it were on fire. It had started to do that the moment I had walked in the door. My step father had then attacked me with a knife. He had token a hold of me and sliced a perfect line down my face. The bath water was bloody because if it. I was above the water again I braced myself to be plunged into the water again but was surprised to hear a roar of anger and to hear my step fathers scream of pain. I looked back only to see the new guy. What was he doing here? I thought. He turned towards me and looked me in the eye. I heard a gasp and looked over to see Emily there in the door way tears in her eyes. She ran over to me and hugged me.
“Rain! I’m so sorry.” she sobbed.
“Its ok Emily I’m fine.” I assured her although I knew I wasn’t. I felt like I couldn’t breath must have been from the near drowning experience. I thought before blacking out.


Chapter #4 it takes a brave person to know when the battle is lost and still he fights
I woke up with the sound of my fathers sobbing. I had never heard him cry not ever but there he was crying. I felt guilty knowing I was the reason he was crying. I kept my eyes closed and my breathing even I didn’t want him to know I had witnessed this. I heard gentle footsteps then a sigh.
“Oh hunter what are we going to do?” It was Lauran.
“we are going to have her live here I will never let her go back.” my father said fiercely. Never had I heard him sound so angry and heart broken.
“What else do you think happened to her?” she asked. My father hesitated.
“I don’t know but I know it was bad. The other night I noticed there was something wrong something different never would I have imagined he would have gone so far.”
“Shouldn’t we go to the police? He should get arrested.” my father si Imprint
