Claire I still felt the sting in my cheek as I ran away. My bright orange toms comforting my feet. A contradiction to the bright green grass. I had to get away. I would run till I couldn't run anymore. Or till I saw water even a puddle. I ran faster the grass wetting my feet and shoes. I turned my head slightly. There he stood still watching me, what a monster. I had trusted him. I felt a crunch in my ankle as I fell. I faced forward falling hard. The air being knocked out of me like a star fighter getting in a good punch. I whined out a small cry. No,no,no!! Why me, why now. I stared at the hole my foot was lodged in. I clawed desperately at the dirt. But it felt the more I fought the dirt to escape the more it glued my foot there. I felt like screaming and crying in desperation. My ankle burned with pain. Slowly searing thru the rest of my body. I stared at the sky. I knew somewhere the gods were starring down at me. "please,oh mighty Zeus please help me"I screamed tears falling down my sore cheek. I felt unconsciousness, my mind slowly numbing it's self. And as I fell into my sleep a bright message went in my mind. 'Trust Me and your Welcome' Great,making me pass out was the answer to my prayer. I slowly fell asleep my body numbing. 25mins later I woke up feeling soft leather. I stared in front of me. Two of the most gorgeous guys I have seen. I stared cautiously,there words seemed like a chinese cartoon. So confusing and not understandable. I slid my hand to my ankle. Steel feeling the burn. But I felt something else. I felt strength, anger and humiliation. 'jump out of the car'a melodic voice said in my head. I didn't hesitate a bit. I slid to the door opening it as I hurled out. I expected instant death. Pain searing thru my body. But no I had landed in the sand. Near the WATER. I crawled hearing the door slam behind me. I crawled faster but felt two strong hands on my hips. "NOOO, anyone help me please"I clawed at the ground. I screamed louder. I knew a fish something would hear me. Even one of my many brothers. But no, a steel hand cupped itself around my mouth. He lifted my body as I hung limp. I felt myself cry again,my icy tears hitting my captors hand. He lifted me in the car sliding beside me. "drive"grants velvety voice yelled. I stared at him scared. He smiled sweetly at me. "Claire baby, you don't know how scared I was for you"he murmured out. Pressing me to his chest. Immediately I flinched back. "look I know you could probably never forgive me, but listen I love you"he said I heard his voice cloud up. Hmm he was a good actor. Because but he sure in he'll wasn't fulling me. He brushed me hair away. Cupping my face in his hand. He kissed my busted lip softly. Didn't mean it didn't still sting. I bit his lip as hard as I could. He snapped back his face angry. But then it turned wary. Ah he's growing impatient with me...hard. He wiped the blood away from his full lips. He sighed and soon I blacked out again. I felt him carry me,his voice turning into chinese dialect. He dropped me in a couch, a lady staring at me. She was in her early twenties. Completely stunning,shed make Aphrodite herself cry. My focus came back as I jumped up. "oh sweet heart relax"she cooed and I felt myself immediately soothed. She bathed my washing all the grime away. She grabbed my ankle as I cringed. "what happened here" "I was jogging in P.E. And I tripped"I said lying thru my teeth. Why was I lying for Grant? She nodded,soon I was dressed my hair combed. She had taken the liberty to put a cloth cast on my foot. I walked out with her behind me. Grant stared at me wickedly. "she looks perfect thanks sissy"he murmured. Sister? What was going on here. She sat me down staring at me. "well done Grant, but her can be trimmed. She's a little to skinny, maybe her lips are to full for her face. Her eyes seem so dead,I thought she was a lively one.…"she said going on about every one of my imperfections. I felt my self esteem crush as this gorgeous woman criticized everything about me. She talked on leaving the room. A more masculine version of grant walked in. He stared at me dirtly. "your a feisty thing aren't ya,now look your lucky are mom isn't home. Were gonna drive you home......"I blanked in and out. Thru my mind it was screaming 'get to the sea!!' I barely caught the last part. "tell anyone cupcake and I'll hurt you alot worse than grant will got it?"he said lifting my face to his. I nodded solemnly. They dropped me off and I stood in front of the apartment to scared to come in. I felt someones hand on my shoulder. I turned slowly facing Carter. He looked angry,but I couldn't talk. We walked to the room. And I just cried and slept. Why had the gods not helped me!! I thought no more slipping into a deep sleep.
Claire I lifted my head up as I stared around me. I was in a small room. It was white and clear. I walked around my feet making a sloshing noise. I looked to the ground as water quickly rose. Water,it had always and will always be my friend. I splashed in it happily. Not aware as the walls closed in changing color. Soon it was like a burning inferno. The water rose to my waist burning my skin. It bubbled and splashed. I screamed out"HELP,Carter help meee"I screeched. I splashed the water as it rose to my neck. It splashed in my mouth slipping to my throat chocking me. I looked around and there was Carter. His beautiful face dark and disturbed. He smiled at me laughing. No what was happening. The water rose to my head as it chocked me. I kicked around,how was thus possible. I had always trusted the water. But now it had betrayed me. I jumped in my sweat soaked bed. Bumping my head on someone, being knocked down again. I laid down opening my eyes feverishly. I stared at Carter above me. He felt my forehead, checking my pulse. He sighed a sigh of release and laid his head on my shoulder. I felt tears form in my eyes as I cried. My heart beating hard. What was that dream and what did it mean? I stared at carter as he rested on my shoulder. Was it telling me something,warning me. Was there more than what the eye can see to him. "what happened to you"he breathed out. "nothing"I chocked out trying to make my voice normal. He looked up at me searching my face. His hair was messy,his eyes bloodshot, his nose red and chapped. He looked like a mess. "your lying"he murmured sitting up. He sat me up Bringing me close to him. "I'm not lying how dare you even insinuate that"I spat out. But the memory,of how I was hurt and scared. Almost being rαped could do that to you. it overcame me as fresh tears formed in my eyes. I wiped them away hurriedly. But he saw coming closer to me. He stared at me in the eyes. His stare scaring me again like he had in the dream. "stop lying to me"he said again more hostile. Finally I gave in crying on his chest. Yelling what Grant had done to me. I beat his chest yelling asking why. He just stared at me awkwardly. And did something unexpected. He peeled me off of him and walked out. As if nothing had happened. Was he honestly that cold,just a minute ago he had seemed like he cared. My same dream went on like this for weeks. Two to be exact. And every night I would wake up with him there. Concerned, care in his eyes and lust? And every night he would walk away. At school everything had stayed the same. Everyday it was me and Grant. And everyday I had died a little. Carter pov Why had I become attached to her. The way she laughed and looked at me. The way she slept, so soundly and beautiful. It was the only time she was quite. I chuckled to myself. Brushing the hair out of her face. Stroking her face softly. Every night I did this. I loved her from afar, the only time I could call her mine. But every night it ended the same. She would wake up scared and wild. Every night crying on my chest. Well I held her and every night I would have to let go. Tonight she slept soundly,I kissed her forehead before going to my room. I got dressed for school walking out. She went out of her room,in one of Grants big t-shirts. She walked around then stared at me and smiled. That smile that made my heart leap. She walked toward me slightly skipping. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I felt my body stiff. She stared at me happily. "you know Carter it's been 2months and your still a big 'ol stuffy"she giggled laying her head on my chest. I grabbed her arms moving them away from me. She smelled so good. She smelled like vanilla and sea spray. I pushed her gently away. "go get ready or I'm leaving without you" She stared at me her bottom lip shaking. She nodded and walked into her room. I sat on the couch feeling the fabric as she walked out. He hair was curled beautifully, her lips had on clear lip gloss that only ensentuiated her full lips. Her legs walked feebly toward me. Her foot was twisted badly. I'm positive it was broken, but she heals quickly. I got up and walked out in front of her. She followed and then stopped. "Claire,now"I said. "no" "what do you mean no"I said turning towards her. Her face was hard as stone,as if trying to show no emotion. "I said no,I'm not going to school" "why not" "why?you wanna really know why"she screamed at me. "yes I do" "because every day I go there I die a little more,I have no one" I walked to her wrapping my arms around her. She cried and held me back harder. "let's go!"I said " I said no"she said still holding onto me tighter. "I mean somewhere else" "where" "a swim that's where" Where do you think there going?

Claire I stared at his face, feeling so much happiness in me. I would finally get to swim. To stretch out my fin and feel like me,feel beautiful. The water had token so many things from me. But it had also given so many back. I stared off,soft tears streaming down my face. I could feel them drop on my skin. I could feel Carters eyes on me. "what is it"he muttered tensely. I grabbed his hand, dragging him slightly. "have I ever told you how I lost my family and mother"I choked out. My tears kept streaming down, only more slowly and steady. "no I don't believe you have" "when I was 4, I had everything. Let me clarify,not everything but it was to me. Because I actually had love"I said harder. Fighting back the sob in my chest. "yes I see and.." "well I had a mother and father, and an older brother. He would be 19 by now. And I had love,I was actually cared about." I said as we walked to the car garage. I slid in the passenger seat. And waited till he walked in to continue. "one day we went down to the dock, we were going on a fishing trip. My dad loved fishing"I said letting a sob get louse as I struggled to suck breath back in. "you don't have to tell me Claire it is obviously hurting you"he said rubbing my back. "no,it has to be heard"I snapped. He nodded meekly as he put the key in the ignition. "we went down to the dock and got in the boat. And everything was okay,it was okay. But the water got so choppy. And a storm had hit, my dad had drove around crazily. He tried to get us to shore. But right as we were coming there shore in sight. Something out of now where hit us"I said my heart splitting itself in two. I grabbed my chest putting myself in a ball. Why, I breathed in a deep breath. "Claire,please no more"he said his eyes watery. He parked, un clicking his belt as he put his strong arms around me. I laid in his chest and continued my story. "I flew around the boat, and my dad had been propelled out. My mom came to grab me put tripped and cracked her head. As the boat sunk my brother had grabbed me, and tried to swim off. But because of me screaming and kicking he pushed me one last time toward shore and drowned"I said screaming the last part. The sob was now in full motion, my heart now open and broken. The scab being pulled off the gaping wound. Leaving it open and fresh. I stared at the window at the sea below us. And only sobbed harder. "if I had only stayed a good girl, I would still have him.I would still have my mom. I hate myself I hate Poseidon and Triton. They took everything away from me. They left me to fight and fight for everything I had till I was 13"I said scowling. He looked in my eyes, gently wiping my tears. He smiled and slowly kissed my lips. Soft and gingerly,caressing my face. His lips soft, kissing me harder as his tongue slipped through. I opened my eyes staring at him. His face was strained, almost in pain. He looked like he was concentrating. Well still kissing me he grabbed my small body. He sat me on his lap as his kiss got harder and harder. I felt the chair move back well his other hand rubbed my back. I pulled my head back staring at his face. I had just told him, how everything I loved had been token away and he was trying to get some? No! Not ever in his life. I opened the door as I rolled out. I ran full force at the ocean, I had a Bone to pick with some gods. Thus trip had now just gone horribly wrong! I dove in and swam,anger propelling me.
That's great! But Claire trusts Carter why would she think he's like Grant? It's just that she knows he's a good guy… Anyway good, update!
