Raine got to her feet, her head spinning. "You always this much of a sarcastic shit?"

Zoe whimpered in discomfort. "It hurts, Aidan. It really really hurts."

"Because you pissed me off." He said with annoyance in his voice.

"I don't plan on living that long." Jacob laughed. Then he thought for a moment. "I think I'm gonna publish some of my writing. Yeah, that's what I'll do."

Wolfie yapped and started chewing on Zoe's gown. Zoe was too tired to say anything about it. "I feel sick..."

Zoe frowned. "Awww I was looking forward to having a big wolf to cuddle with." Zoe said softly, massaging Wolfie's ears.

"Yeah... How's his ribs doing?" Zoe asked as Wolfie started to paw at her belly button again.

Jacob nodded, following her. If this failed, he'd be under the belt again. He didn't know if he could handle that again.

Jacob rubbed a scar on his hip and nodded. "Worth a shot..." He repeated.

Jacob looked down at her with a smile. "You think we'd make it?"

"I left there a while ago. I've been cycling through orphanages. Every time I get belted I'm sent somewhere new." Jacob said softly.

"But you can't. You can't fix what's happened to me. No one can. That's why I'm distant. That's why I'm angry. I'm damaged beyond repair." Jacob whispered. He looked her in the eyes as she apologized. "It's not your fault. Don't be sorry."

Jacob took a deep breath. "I shut out everyone so it hurts less." He lifted his shirt off of his chest to reveal the deep scars he'd gotten from being belted. "I think that if I shut out the world... This won't happen again."

Jacob flinches. They belt kids. That was the worse possible news he could have recieved. He stood up and followed her. "Wait, wait. I'm sorry I pissed you off." Jacob apologizes. "I just... I needed to know."

Jacob closes his eyes. "Do they belt kids here?" He asked suddenly.

Jacob shrugged. "Do what you wish." Jacob curled up and let out a long, audible sighe.

"I'm fine." Jacob whispered. "Just need some time to settle in."

Jacob shook his head. He had his anger for a reason. The scars on his back felt stiff suddenly. When Ask left, Jacob took over the hammock and looked up at the trees. He couldn't help but feel resentment towards the trees. How dare they be so undamaged?
