I sat up and looked to him he looked at me and I shook my head “I don’t think you understand what you have just done you could get in real trouble you are older than me.” Fletch took both of my hands and held them,“ she also is in love with a man older than her.” I held his hand and looked away thinking of the dream and looking up at Fletch my mom’s face sat and I froze his face was back to normal and I took a breath. “People will hate us,” Fletch scoffed “come home with me,” I dropped his hands and looked at him shocked by his words. “Leave the humans, come live with me.” I shook my head thinking of my brother, “I can barely understand a few phrases in Norse and half the time I can’t even remember a word.” Fletch pulled my head to his chest and stroked my head I closed my eyes and felt as tears went down my face. “Last night you scared me so bad seeing you like that… It’s because of these toxic humans even your own blood throws insults at you daily yet you stand next to them.” I looked at Fletch and he smiled “Come home to a new life,” I shook my head “I have another idea, what if we leave this town and go to another town find somewhere nice where we can work out our feelings.” Fletch pulled my hand to his chest “you talk like you don’t know what your feelings for me are but you are such a bad not truther.” I watched as Fletch moved a strand of my hair and kissed me I kissed back and we sat. “Will you be my boyfriend?” Fletch said gently caressing my face his hands so big and warm, I held his hand to my face and closed my eyes and felt as a smile filled my face “Yes.” I heard someone clear their throat and I sat up to see a teacher and rather well known rude and mean teacher, to be honest. “What do you think you are doing bys kissing each other do you want to burn in hell?” I stood and tapped the hat of the lady “if I can be with him then I wouldn’t mind it.” I walked away holding his hand Marie ran over to us and smiled “so cute I love it.” She hugged us and I smiled not ever having a positive reaction like this ever. “Good job Fletch so where are you two loverboys headed off to.” I smiled and tightened my grasp on Fletch’s hand “Out of this fucking town.” Marie smiled and patted my back and cheered me on she watched as we walked toward the school parking lot my Spanish teacher called me out from his car he closed the door to his car as he walked to me. “Hey, Gale where are you going?” I looked to Fletch and groaned “my ribs are really bothering me I just can’t make it through the rest of the day.” Fletch played along and he let us pass after we were out of view we held hands all the way to Alec’s house to grab some stuff with an hour walk Alec was home. I opened the door and my brother stood and looked me up and down “what are you doing, the school called me to say that the cameras caught you leaving the school.” I looked to Fletch “could you grab my stuff while I talk to him?” Fletch nodded and headed up the stairs. Alec waved his hands “Hello why did you ask him to get your stuff where do you think you are going I told you he was bad for you.” I took a deep breathe “Guess what… I like dick Dad was beating me because I like dicks the kids at school beat me because I am gay. Guess what Fletch is hot as fuck! He is a great guy he is funny and takes care of me where were you when I had my panic attack when I woke up last night?” I looked to my brother and he scoffed and grabbed me “I can help you get you a doctor and get you fixed.” I pushed away from my brother and screamed in his face “oh no it’s the gay better run and hide.” I waved my arms around as I went around in circles. “I love guys I am a homosexual and I am not broken I am not going to be controlled by you.” My brother rubbed his head as he turned around going into the drawers and cabinets he pulled a taser gun. “I won’t let you leave. This isn’t you,” I felt my heart drop as it pointed it to me had prepared myself for this moment but if you are color blind and know it, it doesn’t mean that you that the colors fade in. I sighed and inched toward my brother he pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees as the shock filled my body and I screamed my brother dragged me into the bathroom and locked me in it. I heard as his footsteps went up the stairs I groaned and laid in pain, I heard a thud and I heard several more thuds as something was dragged down the stairs. The dogs began barking and freaking out, Alec sighed as he called someone. “Sir I think you should see this I found some kind of half human creature,” I slowly regained my strength and began to bang on the door. Fletch woke up and broke down the door, the necklace was shoved into my pocket as he grabbed my limb body as we went back into the living room Alec laid the phone in his hand. Fletch grabbed a few of my things and headed out the door and we ran through the woods on and on. Days quickly passed as each day Fletch would go into Wolf form and run while I held on to his back we would stop around noon he would hunt some food I would cook it and we ate then we went back to running. Winter dragging closer food became harder to find and Fletch kept running into other starving animals that attacked him leaving more scars on his skin and more food. I easily got sick the cold wind from the speed of him running with lack of sleep and showers I quickly got sick. One day I woke up and my throat burned and my body was hot and cold, sweat poured down my face as I wheezed in a breathe. I grabbed Fletch who was still sleeping beside me I groaned and tried to speak my voice was rasp and filled my throat with a burning pain I tapped him and he woke up he smiled as he slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and touched my head, he held my wrist and checked my pulse, he pulled me to his chest and stroked my head. Tears formed in his eyes as he stood grabbing our things and running he called out for help as he put on the necklace. My body was limp and weak I took weak breathes as the sound of cars faded in, when a car horn blare filled my ears Fletch screamed: “Help please!!!” A woman came out from her car and ran to us “he woke up like this I don’t know what to do please take us in the moving car to Hos spit all.” The woman opened the car door and rushed us in I watched as color faded and I reached out to Fletch my hand shaking “I love you,” I felt my eyes slowly close and back open Fletch pulled me to his chest I took a breath and my hand fell to my side as tears from Fletch’s face came down on mine.”I love you too and you better not leave me alone okay.” Fletch stroked my head and I closed my eyes, “Small please stay awake.” My eyes became steel doors that locked down the feeling in my fingertips faded and my body shut down. “GALE ?!” Fletch screamed and the sounds all became distorted and I fell asleep. Everything was white as I spun around looking to where I was, a black desk with a mirror sat photos of Fletch and I filled it, us laughing and smiling my different colored eyes were something Fletch loved one photo was him staring into them as he gently touched my face. I saw Fletch’s crying face looking down his hair a mess and his lips cracked and bleeding, the moment from the car. I tore down the picture and my mother’s withered broken body looked back at me I shook my head and realized it was me my hair dark brown my eyes looking back into me my body so thin and bony. I crumbled the photo of Fletch crying as tears streamed down my face. “Gale”, I turned at the sound of a sweet soft voice my mother stood wearing one of her favorite dress a blue dress that flowed down her dotted skin. She long black hair was straight and framed her face as it went down her back, “mom…” I ran to her as she held out her hands I ran to her and took the hug tears streamed down my face “mom I missed you so much.” Her grasp moved to my throat as she lifted me into the air “not as much as you miss Fletch,” I tore at her hands and tried to free myself from her grasp I closed my eyes and tore at her grasp then I opened them and she was gone. I crumbled to the floor and clawed at my head screaming I banged my head on the ground and just screamed as if screaming could fix every problem I have ever had. A mix of tears and snot filled my face as every memory of any time I was never enough flooded me I tore at my neck and my head. It seemed like hours of pure pain and hatred a black blanket came over me and I thrashed around as water filled the blanket. Water slowly came in I thrashed around and the water came faster and flooded everything taking in water and feeling as it had nowhere as I let it take me as my strength faded and my body kept falling the feeling of drowning didn’t leave as I kept falling utter darkness felt like forever. Sound slowly faded in after what seemed like years of darkness and drowning, the sound of steady beeping echoed in the darkness as it faded to white. I reached out and grabbed something, my eyes slowly opened and light poured into my eyes a roof and Iv drips coming toward me. I squeezed what was in my hand and glanced around Fletch stood in the corner of the room my hand had a clump of a white and grey plaid blanket. A mask sat on my face and my arms were paperwhite, I couldn’t move or speak I felt tears run down my face as Fletch paced back forth he sat down and got back up, his hair was cut short and was in his face and barely touched his cheeks his body trembles with each step his body was bony and his clothes were worn and torn the necklace dangled from his chest with each step. I couldn’t tell him I was here, that I was awake, that I need him, I needed the warmth of his hand, and his deep gentle voice echo in the room as he spoke or sang. The machine I was attached to began to beep faster, tears streamed down my face as my eyes began to slowly open and close the thought of me going back to the darkness and drowning over and over again sent my tears pouring faster as my eyes became clouded with them. Fletch turned to me and fleed to my side tears in his eyes as he crumbled to the floor holding my hand. “Oh my god Gale.” I took his hand and held it so tight his hand trembled as he gently touched my head pulling his hand back and kissing my head. Gently stroking my hair, “Oh Gale I am so sorry.” Fletch trembled with each word as he gently touched my face his voice was raspy and dry. My brother came through the door and scoffed “get away from him I thought I told you not to come here you were the one who did this to him the one who knocked me out and tore him from his family.” I clenched FLetch’s hand as he stood to walk away from me, he stopped and looked back at me. “Put him back in his chains, and make sure he doesn’t escape this time,” I watched as a huge big strong guy grabbed Fletch and clicked a metal collar on him and grabbed his wrists and put heavy shackles on his wrist chains were hooked on the heavy collar and Fletch was pulled from the room as he left I saw tears stream down his face. I groaned and tried to move my finger flinched and my hand slowly raised by the time my hand was reaching for the door he was gone. I groaned and tried to say words and they came out slurred and nowhere near the words I tried so hard to say. My brother sighed as he came to my side holding my hand he looked to me and told me I had a fever so bad I almost died he went on to say that I was not gay and I was going to get help with recovering from the time I had been torn from his grasp. I turned away as tears dripped from my eyes Alec touched my arm and sighed “I am sorry but it needed to be done.” Alec took his hand away and sighed “Go ahead and deal with the wolf boy he has proved he won’t follow orders.” I slowly sat up my brother sitting in a chair as I managed to gain control of my limbs he slowly fell asleep. I leaned on the Iv and wheeled it out of the room, slowly closing the door I walked down a white hallway nothing labeled and I followed my gut. I heard screaming so I followed it low and behold finding a huge big steel door torn and broken on the floor. I peeked my head around it as a scream broke through everything Fletch was on his knees as a liquid was burning away as it poured down his back. His neck, wrists, and legs chained to the wall, I felt my heart drop I stumbled toward him and grabbed the bottle of acid from the robotic arm and looked around as the sounds of several footsteps echoed in the hallway. I watched as Fletch began to heal I raised the glass as if to throw it as the guards flooded the room they stopped at the sight of the glass bottle I leaned on my Iv stand and took a breath “stay back.” I watched as Fletch slowly stood “get out of Here.” I shook my head and watched the men as I slowly poured a tiny drop on the shackles and burned threw the one on his hand and he tore off the others himself. I watched as a clear way was made as I limbed by Fletch followed I shoved the bottle in the faces of the guards as I passed making sure no one charged us. Fletch and I made our way to the surface I pulled the Iv out and Fletch grabbed a hand full of his hair as guards followed us he pulled it and began to chant something. He groaned as a light began to form around his feet he tore the hair from his head and dropped it wind picked up as a green light shallowed him forcing everyone to shield their eyes. A ringing sound filled my ears as I raised my head back to Fletch he stood and he groaned and his hands clung to his chest he slowly fell and a voice called out “Father are you alright?” A woman caught him as he fell and gently set him down I felt my body freeze as I saw the woman's face.
