Chapter 26: Chapter: 24
*warning: mentions of sexual assault*
Annabelle's POV:
Thankfully the walk to Fenris' apartment didn't take long, it was probably a twenty minute walk, and Annabelle got to hold Fenris' hand the whole way.
Walking up to the apartment building Annabelle thought it looked nice, the outside had a sort of warm feeling with the light brown and red bricks. Lots of bushes and trees were scattered all around making you feel like you're in the woods. There was all the scent of many supernaturals.
Annabelle pulled on Fenris' hand to get her attention, "Fenris, do you know how many supernaturals live here? It smells like a lot." she asked.
"The whole building is supernaturals, no humans. The person who owns the complex is a druid, and although they don't allow only supernatural tenants they do send out notice of a vacancy to the supernatural community first. They do it because it's hard to find a place to rent where you can be yourself, which is why I'm not hiding right now and my wings are out." Fenris explained.
Annabelle looked at the massive wings on Fenris' back, reaching out her hand she gently stroked some of the grey feathers. She smiled when she could feel Fenris shiver under her touch. "I've never really lived near humans, I forget that what I see as normal isn't what they see as normal."
Fenris just smiled and pulled her up the stairs to the second floor. Walking to a door she pulled out a key, inserted it into the lock, and opened the door. "Please come in."
Walking in Annabelle inhaled and sighed, Fenris' scent felt like it wrapped around her, telling her that she was safe and protected. Smiling Annabelle walked further in and looked around at everything, wanting to know all she can about Fenris.
While she was looking around she had heard Fenris close the door and was now standing there staring at her. "Do you want a glass of water?" Fenris asked, clearing her throat. Annabelle simply nodded her head and went back to looking around when Fenris walked to the kitchen.
Fenris had a very simple apartment. The door opened into the living room with the kitchen right next to it, there was a counter that separated the kitchen and living room with little stools under it. There weren't any photos on the walls, instead there were shelves with books and plants on them. The couch was a light grey with black pillows on it, a soft red blanket was thrown across the back. It was not really the look Annabelle had expected of a teenager who lived on their own, but it was nice.
Not finding anything to tell her about Fenris Annabelle walked up to the TV. The TV was on a dark brown wooden stand with two small doors. Under the TV was an Xbox and Playstation as well as four controllers. [So she likes to play video games. What does she play?] Opening up the door on the left she saw two big black zipped binders. Pulling them out she opened them and saw they were filled with movies, mainly horror movies, but Annabelle was ecstatic to see that there was also many Disney and Pixar movies that she loved. [Yay! We have to have a movie night!]
"Hey, here's your water." Fenris said, walking back into the room. Looking over her shoulder Annabelle saw Fenris' eyes go wide and dart to the other door of the TV stand. "Did you, uh, did you look in the other door yet?"
Annabelle cocked her head to the side in confusion, but shook her head. "No, I was going through your movies."
She could see Fenris visibly relax and sit on the couch. "Do you want to talk?" Deciding to just look at what's behind the door later Annabelle put the movies back and got up to sit on the couch. Walking over she sat down next to Fenris and grabbed one of the waters, taking a slow sip. "Annabelle," Fenris whispered, "what happened? Why did you break my heart? Why were you with Johnny? Why?"
"Before I tell you I need you to promise me you won't get mad at me and that you won't leave me."
Fenris' POV:
Hearing Annabelle say this Fenris knew that she was probably going to lose her control from what Annabelle was going to say, but she needed to know. So Fenris just nodded.
Taking a deep breath Annabelle looked down at her lap and started telling Fenris everything. Annabelle told her how her mother had beat her that night they found out they were mates. How her mother told her to break it off with Fenris, and how she said the never loved Annabelle. Hearing all that angered Fenris and broke her heart. In less than a week her mate had gone through all that, and Fenris didn't know, worse was she knew there was more. The words Annabelle said earlier replayed in her head 'He tried, but I never let him.'
"There's more. At school you said, 'he tried'. What did Johnny try to do Annabelle?"
Annabelle who had had tears running down her face started to sob and scream. The noise broke Fenris, it was the sound of pure pain and terror. No person should ever have to make this sound let alone hear it. Fenris' heart started to physically hurt at the sound and sight of her mate, who looked so small and fragile curled up on the couch.
Slowly Fenris wrapped her arms around Annabelle and pulled her on her lap, wrapping her arms and wings tightly around her. Fenris started to randomly hum and rock back and forth trying to calm Annabelle down, tears coming out of her own eyes knowing that her mate was in this situation.
Eventually Annabelle quieted down and curled into Fenris. She had her head against Fenris' shoulder, her hand clutching at Fenris' chest. Annabelle took a shaky breath, "He tried to force himself on me when my mother told me he was my new mate." Fenris tightened her hold on Annabelle and released a growl. Annabelle snuggled closer and kissed her jaw, causing Fenris to melt at the action and relax her arms. "He kissed me and tried to go further, but I fought him, I got hurt but I fought him. After that he got more persistent, more aggressive. Every time he would come over my mother would leave us alone together and he would try to force me to have sex with him. Thankfully it never went very far, he was always interrupted by Mary or Ray coming home, and they would never leave us alone together."
"How, how far did he get?" Fenris knew it wasn't a good idea to ask such a question, but she had to know.
Annabelle turned her head away, "He had ripped my shirt off and had been kissing and groping my body. Suddenly he stood up and pulled his pants down, grabbing his dick he had tried to force it in my mouth. Thank the Goddess Mary had come home and banged on my door looking for me. Before I was able to leave, he said if I told Mary he would rape and murder her in front of me, and would do it to any one else I told as well."
Fenris was definitely going to kill Johnny, first she was going to find him, tie him up and torture him for days before she killed him. She would normally be out that door right now in search for him, but she promised Annabelle she wouldn't leave, and looking down at her mate she knew Annabelle needed her with her.
Grabbing Annabelle's chin, Fenris moved it so she was looking back at her. "I, I had to protect her. She's my sister." Annabelle cried looking at Fenris.
Fenris smiled sadly, "I know sweetheart, I know. You are staying with me and I will keep you safe."
Annabelle sat up in Fenris' lap and looked at her. "Really?"
"Of course. The best way to keep you safe is if you're here with me. I want my mate to be safe and happy, mentally and physically."
Annabelle moved and was now straddling Fenris, causing the black haired girl to blush at the change in position. "You still want me to be your mate?"
"Yes I do, that is if you want to be my mate?"
Annabelle threw her arms around Fenris' neck and hugged her screaming 'yes' over and over. Overjoyed Fenris wrapped her arms around Annabelle's waist and hugged her back.
Pulling back Fenris looked into Annabelle's eyes, searching them and saw nothing but love and content.
Fenris' mind went to their mate marks and how they might get them. Looking down at Annabelle's soft pink lips Fenris wanted to kiss them. "Can I kiss you?"
Annabelle answered by surging forwards and connecting their lips, causing Fenris to moan at the feel of Annabelle's lips pressed against hers. Annabelle's lips so soft and plumped moved against Fenris' in a frantic kiss. Neither had ever felt this level of pleasure, and only from a kiss. Annabelle grabbed Fenris' head and pulled her closer, fisting Fenris' hair and tugging on it causing Fenris to moan into her mouth. Fenris brought her hands down to Annabelle's ass and squeezed it while nipping at her bottom lip, making a string of moans escape from Annabelle.
Before the heated make out session could go any further Fenris felt a dull burning feeling go from her left wrist and up her arm to her neck. She hissed at the pain and pulled back. Annabelle looked at her concerned until she too felt the same burning feeling.
"Fenris, is this our..."
Looking at her left arm Fenris smiled, "Yeah it is."
