You sigh as you're met with the sound of your Mom and step Dad fighting as soon as you step into the house.

When you were 8, your Mama, Penelope, died and your Mom fell apart. They were soulmates, they got together when they were 13 and didn't break up once, not until she died. Anyways, your Mom was so vulnerable and Rafael took that as his chance to make his move. Before you know it, you were moving in with with, they were getting married, and your Mom was pregnant only a year later. You were officially trapped.

At first, Rafael was sweet and caring and he treated your Mom so well, but he changed. He started to get angry all the time, he snapped, he shouted, he threw things, he got in your Mom's face, he treats the twins, Harper and Charlie, like they're not even his kids. He treats you like you're shit on the bottom of his shoe, and your Mom doesn't stop it because she's too scared of him.

It's been ten years now and you're more miserable than ever.

"Hey, Harps." Your greet your little sister.

"Hi, Y/NN." She replies and looks up from her book. The twins are 9 now. Harper is the quiet twin whilst Charlie is the out going one.

"Where's Charlie?" You ask and kiss her head.

"He's playing his Xbox." She tells you.

"I'll be back." You promise before going to find your brother.

You find him deep into he middle of a fifa match.
You chuckle and kiss his head, knowing you won't get a word from him when he's in his zone.

More screaming from upstairs makes you sigh deeply, they're always fighting and it's exhausting trying to distract the twins so they don't pay attention to it.

Suddenly, their bedroom door bursts open and Rafael stomps down the stairs as Josie yells after him angrily.

"Move." He growls and roughly shoves you into the wall.

You groan at the pain that shoots down your arm, feeling it dislocate. Your Mama was a wolf so you inherited the gene and triggered it when you were 12 by accidentally causing a fire that killed someone. You're also a siphoner. This isn't the first time your shoulder has dislocated and because it's happened before, it doesn't take much for it to happen again.

Rafael slams the front door shut as he leaves the house.

"Baby," Josie sighs and runs down the stairs. "Oh god, your shoulder. Let me help-"

"It will heal." You huff and pull away from her when she goes to touch you.

"Y/N." She says, hurt.

For the last four years your relationship with your Mom has been rocky. She just stands by and lets Rafael treat you like shit and you resent her for it.

"Don't act like you care about me." You spit and rub your shoulder, wincing in pain.

"That's not fair, you know how much you mean to me. You're my whole world, you and the twins." She whispers.

"You have a funny way of showing it." You quip angrily.

"Just let me help you, Princess." Josie begs which you clench your jaw. Your silence makes Josie siphon from you before casting a healing spell on your shoulder.

"Do you even know what today is?" You ask quietly, tears shining in your eyes.

"Of course I do." Her voice cracks. It's 11 years ago today that your Mama died.

"Funny that. You haven't asked me if I'm okay once today." You shake your head. "Mama would be disgusted with you." You grumble before making your way up the stairs.
