Kalia hissed again as the boy switched the positions. She tried to struggle away but he was too strong for her. She didn't like him. At all. Plus, insulting her punch was just too far. She had a very good right hook, thankyouverymuch. She narrowed her eyes, turning them into slits. She could feel her fangs coming out again and blood trickled down her chin from her split lip.
Then he spoke. And everything fell into place. The wings, the hair, the eyes. The beauty... She gasped despite herself. "You- You're- How-" She stumbled over her words. Her eyes widened to big green circles. The color had intensified when she was Turned and whenever people saw them, they could help but stare. That coupled with her extremely long red hair and she knew that she was unusual. Maybe not pretty but definitely unusual.
Kalia strengthened her struggle to escape the boy's arms. If she had been human and so had he, this might have been an intimate position. But they were no humans and this was anything but intimate. A growl built up at the back of her throat that quickly turned to a whimper. That's when his fingers brushed against the long scar (one of the many that was on her body) on her arm and a memory started to surface.
She had only been 15. She was walking down the road with her mom to her house. It was around 11 at night and they were walking home from the movies. As they turned around the corner, she sensed that there was someone there. She stopped abruptly and searched the shadows but saw nothing. That's when they had jumped her.
Two hooded figures appeared from an alleyway and jumped in front of them. Her mom had screamed but Kalia was already drawing out the small dagger she always kept in her boot ever since she was mugged when she was 12. But they were just too fast for her. They pushed her aside and no matter how strong she was, they were stronger. She stumbled backwards and fell into a wall, hitting the back of her head. She pulled herself up and turned back to her mom. They were advancing on her and she was screaming for help. Kalia tried to go to her but her legs gave out from under her before she could reach her. She watched from the ground, unable to scream as they cut her mother's throat open and pierced her heart.
Then they turned on Kalia. The watched as they advanced on her with their knives too delirious to do anything but watch. She started to cut her. First on her legs, then her arms, working their way up her body. She doesn't remember how long they tortured her for. Only that silent tears streamed down her face as she swam in and out of consciousness. Suddenly, the pain stopped and another pair of boots came into her vision followed by the sound of bones being crushed. Then, she blacked out.
When she woke up, she was Turned.
Kalia gasped and squirmed as his fingers brushed against another scar. She whimpered again and she felt hot tears prick the back of her eyes.
