I woke up with pain throbbing through my body, just another normal day I thought after thinking of my torturous fate last night, not that it was any different from any other day of my life ever since my 5th birthday.

My names Ameera the name given to me by a stranger that found me amongst my family's dead bodies. They were killed by an animal so they told. No further leads I guess since I haven't heard anything else after that day. The stranger that found me took me to a family that became my worst nightmare.

I guess that stranger never knew that I would be tortured every day of my life. I could not remember my name nor my family's whatsoever after that tragedy. I kinda like Ameera it sounds like there is still hope for me. My adoptive family doesn't call me by my name they prefer 'slut, bitch, runt' all the things that you would never want to call your daughter, well I guess I after all am not their daughter, okay, okay enough about my past I need to get up and get ready the sun will rise soon and I need to get breakfast ready for the Angle's my new family. Today I turned 18 hoping that I would be able to leave this retched life behind soon and start fresh but I am not allowed to leave my room without permission let alone the house. They didn't even let me go to school. The Angles' have two daughters one 2 years younger than me Kiara, she is nice to me, mostly because she pity's me and another my age Shihanna, she on the other hand enjoys seeing me tortured. Mr. Angle he is like the big bad wolf in the stories I heard Mrs. Angle read to Kiara and Shihanna at night when they had to go to bed. I would lean my ear as close to the flour to make out her voice gentle as she tells the tale, although that gentle voice she does not use on me. My room is the attic part of it at least, no windows to get sunlight just the cracks between the wooden slats of the walls surrounding me. I am basically a slave to them I cook; I clean; I tend to them as they need me. If I mess up or take too long Mr. Angle would almost beat me to death. Last night I thought he did, unfortunately he would not grant me the freedom of death. So today just another day as usual.

I get dressed in my only set of ragged clothes, put my journal in a hidden gap in the roofs slabs otherwise they would take that from me too.

Running down stairs to the kitchen I open the fridge to get all the ingredients out for breakfast it will take me about 45 minutes to finish breakfast and set the table which leave about 15 mins before they come down. I should go back to my room before they see me hopefully after breakfast, they would leave me some scraps too eat when I clean up the table and kitchen. After finishing everything I was about to run up the stairs back to my room when suddenly I heard Shihanna's voice coming from her room, knowing that she would most likely cause me to get another beating I decided to run out the back door and lay low in the woods that surround the amazingly big house. I have a special spot that I like going too it is near a waterfall there is a cave that feels like my very own safe house, I have been coming here very seldomly since I am not aloud out and if I get caught well you know what would happen. As I sat down on the edge of the cave and dipping me feet in the luke warm water, suddenly I hear a rustle in-between the woods behind me terrified I leaped into the water holding my breath while being submerged just in case it was Mr. Angle. While I tried to make out the pixels of the moving waters, I could have sworn I saw a wolf pass the water fall.

It had big eyes; it was huge; it was breathtaking… Golden fur… I have never seen a wolf like that I have never seen a wolf period. Luckily it didn't spot me, as it left my sight I came up to the water's surface for air, air I was running out of very quickly. I slowly emerged out of the water and did not see it anymore my muscles relaxed. I slump back down on the edge of the rock I had sat down on earlier.

Damn it the kitchen and the dining hall I need to get back now, but my clothes they are wet. So, I stripped my dress off and quickly twisted all the water out as much as my strength could muster. Slipped my dress back on then started running back towards the house. Hoping the running would dry my clothes a little more. By the time I reached the edge of the forest I saw about 9 cars parked in front. Oh no they usually have these gatherings with a lot of people unfortunately I was never included I had to always stay in the attic every time they had guests around which was a lot more frequent than you would think. I am currently not supposed to be outside the attic. I guess I will just have to sneak in through the back door. I have practically mastered sneaking around well I would like to think so. I slowly cracked open the back door, just enough to see if anyone would spot me running past. Pew, clear, no one will see me if I go now. As I jogged/tiptoed through the hall way nearing the staircase I make eye contact with Shihanna. I quickly leap behind the staircase praying she didn't notice me. Scared to shit I peeked towards Shihanna she carried on speaking to two gorgeous young men.

Not lingering to long I snuck to one of the two entrances to the kitchen then one that had no one around as I entered the kitchen, I bumped into someone. Shrieking I looked up into Kiara's eyes. She has always been nice to me but I was so unsure of what she would do right now. To my surprise she just smiled nodded and passed me leaving the kitchen. Wow at least I have someone I don't need to be scared of. I considered myself lucky, just for a second though. I spotted the dirty piled up dishes on the corner of the kitchen island, my yearning hungry stomach caused me to spot the tiniest of piece of bread left in one plate leftovers from the breakfast I made for them this morning. Although I would like to have my dignity, unfortunately this would maybe be my only meal for another few days I quickly grabbed the piece of bread clenched it in between my jaws not chewing it yet, I would like to savor it.

"Eww how dear you eat our food you little trash!!" I hear Shihanna behind me, I freeze in my spot and slowly turn to face her. Suddenly there came a roar from behind her. It's Mr. Angle, oh no hear comes another beating. "What is going on in here!" he shouts, chilling me to the bone. "She is eating our food, father!" Shihanna smiles as she makes me look bad once again. "How dare you; you runt!" He storms towards me, grabs the back of my neck and smashes my head straight into the marble kitchen counter top. My vision flashes white and black all at once as I drop to the floor. Mr. Angle reaches for my throat and lifts me into the air and stares deep into my eyes. "You are nothing but a slave not worth anything and I am just about done tolerating you." This time his voice deep not loud but just as terrifying. With his one hand around my neck my feet swinging high above the floor he tosses me against the wall very hard. I hear how my bones crack and break with the impact; I scream in agony." Shut up you whore, you will disturb my guests, get up and go back to the attic and stay there until I come get you." I tried getting up but I could not feel my legs, my entire bottom part of my body was numb. "I... I… can't move…, sir... "I tried to be as polite as I could be. "You weakling…" he murmurs. "Don't touch her, Alpha Angle!" I hear a very domineering voice behind Mr. Angle. "Alpha?" I whisper, it's very strange to call someone that.
