Chapter Seventeen

Anna's.

"Operation make Snow more humane and more expressive and smile often, starts....Now," I chirped excitedly as I look at the soo not excited faces of Chad, Cade, and Ivan.

"You need to change the name of this operation or don't name it at all or I'm out" Cade says as he picks at his nails.

Bully.

"Okay" I said dejectedly.

"Let's just come up with a plan to make Snow open up to us," I said to them.

"We don't even know if she's a threat... What am I even doing here?" Ivan stood up to leave but I pulled him back to his seat with my telekinesis.

" You need to tame your beast, remember? So you need to start by being nice and helping me " I said to him with my puppy dog cuteness.

" Whatever, just do what you want " he replied with an eye roll.

Yes!

"So Snow didn't go to college and missed the fun of going to parties, getting drunk, and joking around with friends. I'm going to invite her to our pack anniversary party, her birthday is three weeks away... So we are going to surprise her with a birthday party" I finished and waited for their responses

" Cool, kinda difficult but it won't hurt trying" Chad chirped. "I'm going to give her a real gift this time," he chirped excitedly.

"Ivan and Cade, your job is to keep Snow company. You must not do anything to annoy her, No touchy topics.

if any of you disobey my orders, you shall regret it" I threatened.

"Chad and I will go shopping and prepare for the pack anniversary and her birthday " I spoke with honey coating my words.

They all get up to leave but not before muttering things like.....

Cade: How did I get involved in this?

Ivan: And I'm supposed to be the Alpha ( scoffs).

Chad: At least you don't get to go shopping with her ...

I smiled bitterly, I don't have enough time on earth but the little time I have will be enough to change a life or even the world.

SNOW's

I find myself in a gymnasium, I'm in the middle of seated people but they don't seem to notice me. It's kinda dark till bright lights shine in the middle where I can see a girl.. No not a girl, I see myself in a gymnast suit with my hair tied into a ponytail, I can't see her face properly because she is not facing my direction.

The beautiful version of me started with a simple forward tumble, her whole body rotated along with a sideway split to a level that her lower body, including her legs and rear end, is in contact with the ground.

The whole gym goes silent as the lights illuminated her features.

She stood up with elegance and dropped her hands to the floor as a base with her full body upright and erect, her hands still on the floor, legs and back straight and toes pointed upward. a perfect handstand.

She started walking forward before standing up straight with her hands in the air. She struck out her gut, hands by her sides and took off with a split leap then started running, she took a leap off a springboard, maneuvered with a vaulting horse and landed perfectly.

She repeated this again but this time she added a front handspring onto the vaulting horse with two tucked front somersaults off of it.(the vault of death) The crowd goes nuts and I'm shocked and impressed. She faced the crowd and I could finally see her face..... ....

I feel like I got hit by a truck, she looks exactly like me but she has no flame birthmark on her face....

N-nno she's not me, I'm not her .....she looks like me but she's not me, she's who I wish I was.

The room starts to fade as everything disappears, the environment changes and the scene changes into a familiar place...

My Room.

I look around my room trying to grasp any happy moments like how they do in movies but I can't.

"What the hell" I hear an angry shout from the living room and I know exactly who owns that voice.

Daddy Dearest.

I locked my door and tried to look for a place to hide...

"Come out ,come out wherever you are" his haunting voice gets louder, I hear his footsteps getting closer to my door... My heartbeat quickens.

He tries to open my door but he couldn't so he started banging on it.

I hide under my bed. Cliche. I know. You'll think with all my big girl achievements I won't be afraid but am as scared as fuck.

"Where is my beautiful girl hiding? " he cries out in fake worry as he bursts into the room, breaking the door of its hinges.

"You know I hate this hide and seek shit" he growls and starts going through my stuff breaking some things in the process till it suddenly becomes silent.

Everywhere is so still and silent and I try my best to turn down the loud thumping in my chest if that's possible....

Too silent....

"Gotcha"

I scream, he drags me by my ankle, I dug my nails into the wooden floor creating a screeching sound.

I'm lifted off the ground by my hair and he drags me out of my room, I keep trying to wiggle myself free but he pulls my hair harder making it hard for me.

"It's not my fault, you killed your mother! "

He drags me to the direction of the worst part of my nightmare.

....the basement.

"Welcome to your favorite room ... Murderer"

He tries to put me in the electric chair and I try my best to set myself free but to no avail. He pins me to the electric chair and locks both my arms to the chair.

"I thought I told you to get lost before I return? But what a surprise, I found you in my house again.. Such a leech. You want to kill me with your curse too? "

Immediately those words left his mind I felt something ignite in me and glare at him .

"Am not a curse" I spat with so much venom. His expression changes, he moves closer to me and lands a hot slap on my face .

"You have the guts to talk to me like that huh? I'll give you what you want"

He moves to where the control keys are, I try to wiggle myself free, my breaths comes out in huffs and puffs.

He pushes a button and I scream in pain ...it feels like my whole body is on fire and needles.

"I'll like you to repeat what you said earlier" he laughs at my pain, hot tears stream down my face.

"C'mon say it" he taunts.

He pushes the same button higher, the pain intensifies and I scream louder.

Mother called me special.... I'm not a curse a-am not a curse.

"I'm not a CUSRE!!. I scream through the pain.

I opened my eyes and my stepfather is nowhere to be found and I'm no more in my basement but on my bed at my new house...

" It was all a dream" my voice comes out shaky, my shirt drenched in sweat.

It actually ended well this time. It would have continued till the sun came up.

I guess the necklace actually helped.

I need to thank Silvia when I see her and I think Ivan too. The thought makes me cringe
