Mountains Of Bruises - Story Three
Chapter 1 – Clarissa Escapes
The screen door was tattered to pieces, splotches of blood mixed with soil sprinkled across the uprooted daises that remained lifeless on the floor.
Clarissa Gould limped away from the house dragging her suitcase barely zipped up with clothes bulging out of its sides. Her leg was burning, glass shards riddled her calf but she kept moving forward. She lived on the outskirts of the city, there was a service station at the border between her town, and the city and that's where she was heading. A car pulled up just a few feet from where she was walking, she felt her hand clench the handle of the suitcase as she quickened her pace, a trail of blood following behind her. Fear surged through her veins, it couldn't be her ex-boyfriend, he was near death when she fled. "It's probably just someone looking for di

Nothing compared to flurry of victory that overcame Clarissa as she reached a little shack in the mountains.Clarissa let her tears flow, she removed her shield long enough to allow herself to feel without guilt, and shame bullying her back into her shell. Each droplet cleansed her battered soul. She coughed as her body erupted with repressed agony, torment, allowing her fragility to breath for the first in years. She felt the heat from her body evaporate into the monochorme tiles as she blacked out from exhaustion.A man was whistling to himself as he strolled down the lane and entered his little Bothy. He dropped the logs in his arms upon seeing Clarissa passed out on his kitchen floor with cuts and bruises covering her body. He rushed to her limp form checking her pulse, it w

The mind holds so many traumas, a plethora of past lives, and it takes longer to heal but as Clarissa found out harder to heal.A psychologist's couch is where she sought refuge on this rainy April afternoon. Clarissa was hesitant to open up because saying what her ex had done out loud made her feel as if she were reliving the torture all over again. She looked to the clouds from between the slits of the dusty blind. The sky was powder blue mixed with the cotton shape of the clouds made the sky look like it was painted. During the silence that came after each beating, she often wished she could live in the clouds. She chose to believe that magical village existed in the sky that could only been seen from the corner of your eye. She was snapped from her happy daydream when the Psychologist cleared his throat."So, Clarissa, what brings y
Muses Of The Bothy Chapter 4 - The Trial, Healing Wounds
A few days prior Clarissa received a letter informing that she was being called up to appear as a witness in a trial against her ex.She fixed her dress and combed her hair staring into her reflection. Today was the hearing and there was a variant of feelings coming at her. On one hand, her ex was getting tried and the karma he deserved but on the contrary, she would have to face him in front of strangers on top of keeping her composure. She felt a hand on her shoulder, Dean had dressed smartly for the occasion. He had been her rock throughout this process and such a wonderful friend to her. Clarissa's parents had flown from Alaska to see her. After, the trial her parents wanted to meet with her privately.Clarissa stood there stoically answering and retelling the judge an
Muses Of The Bothy Chapter 5 - Battle In The Bothy
Clarissa's morning had been notably productive. She had baked a couple of blueberry pie, scrubbed the bothy from top to bottom. Fixed the door hinge and reset the mouse traps. The timer dinged, and Clarissa tested the oxtail soup she was making for herself and Dean's lunch. The day overall was pleasant and placid for a change. She had taken a walk, and passed by some Donkeys on her way home. By the time Clarissa had finished her list of chores her feet ached and were starting to blister. She sighed removing her shoes, the cool floor eased the pain between her toes. The house seemed to be empty but Dean was probably out fixing the fences or getting some miles in before he went to bed but a thump from the other room killed that theory. She entered the living room; the TV was le
Muses Of The Bothy Zodiac Twin Flames - Story Four
Chapter 1 – Star-Crossed SignsOrdinary days are filled with extraordinary people who just want to have peaceful and happy times so in that way aren't we all like Kendrick Samuels.Freshly baked cherry muffins were plopped onto the table to cool by Kendrick who was trying to avoid hitting her massive baby bump. She puffed removing her floral oven mitts, and took a small break. Kendrick had been awake just as the sun began to ascend in the horizon. She was seven months pregnant, and feeling every backward side effect that comes with creating life. As her pregnancy progressed, she found herself needing less sleep but getting more winded with each task. Her husband Justin was very considerate about it, he took up most of the homesteading duties they normally shared, and gave her hug when he had a few minutes to spare. Her husband was

Justin paced back and forth in the deepest part of the basement; guilt washed over him. "What have I done?!" he screamed to the walls Kendrick didn't deserve a verbal lashing but he was unnerved by this experience. The last time he saw those agents they were hauling him away to a prison cell to be tested on. He kicked a chair, and searched the recesses of his mind for an answer. Yet he couldn't find a definitive on, his otherwise all-knowing mind had become a barren wasteland. Could it be that he had spent so long pretending to be human that he had lost touch with his whole self. He caught the image of himself, and Kendrick on their wedding day on the table. He sighed, breaking free from his wallowing. At the moment, the most important thing had to be Kendrick, and his unborn son.Kendrick took a deep breath trying to figure out
Muses Of The Bothy Chapter 3 - A Baby, A Bothy And Mr Moliere
Two bulky men wearing suits were searching around. They had already ransacked the house before killing every animal on the property. Justin felt enraged by this, and his fear for Kendrick grew exponentially. She had gotten away but only by a few miles. These agents wouldn't stop for anything. Justin patted his thigh trying to steady his nerves. He kicked a few pine cones, one of them hit a rabbit grazing nearby, causing it to hop away after shooting Justin a dirty look. He sighed fighting the spasm that was inflicting his eye. Sleeping had been difficult, including the stress he had prior to this, the circumstances weren't helping his psyche at the moment. On top of that, he had no clue how he was going to break the news to Kendrick. She loved those animals just as much he did. He sat down crossing his legs; he had to contact Kendrick, in order to warn her. He projected himself long enough to deflate the tires on the Jeeps belonging to th
Muses Of The Bothy Chapter 4 - The Hybrid Revelation
Hybrids were considered a topic of national security, and only those who were registered were allowed to live on earth.Kendrick was fused to the spot in which she stood, Mr Moliere, a man she just met had proclaimed that he could save her family when he's never met her or Justin before. Her mind was zapped, and the whispers that kept floating into her mind didn't help. Kendrick tried to make sense of the situation, and use logic, maybe this incident could be a mistake and that her husband got confused with someone else who has the same name. Kendrick held her head as pain creeped into it. Mr Moliere guided her over to a chair before rushing into the kitchen. Kendrick stared into the burnout fireplace. Confusion struck her "How can he be making a drink? This place has no power." She thought trying to stand when Mr Moliere appeared, easing her down.
