Killed We loved our little village.My father died after I was born, I can't remember anything about him but I love hearing my 5 brothers talk about him. Caleb, Dean and Ash are triplets, Zak and Kyle are twins and I'm the only girl, no twin or anything. I also was a teen mom, my mother supported me the whole way even when my brothers tried talking me out of keeping the baby. I never found the father again after our short time being together. I was returning home after fetching some water from the village well, when I was pulled into a dark street. I dropped the bucket, water splashing everywhere, soaking my dress. A hand clamped over my mouth and two golden eyes stared into my enchanting blue ones. I fell to the side asleep right in their arms. I awoke by a wet cloth on my forehead. I opened my eyes to reveal the golden eyes again, they stared at me in the dark room. It felt like my head was exploding, I screamed as images of my entire family flashed through my head. Images of them ripped apart, their guts yanked out, blood everywhere. I threw up and passed out. I awoke again by a knife slicing my leg. I looked down to find my wrists and ankles restrained. My arms and legs were covered in cuts. The eyes looked at my face, then placed the knife on my stomach. I screamed as loud as my lungs would let me as it went through the skin, drawing blood. I heard shouting from the wall, I looked up to see my family spotlighted. It moved into the light and I saw the face. It was chalk white, bald and covered in scars running down the face. It put the knife to my mothers chest and sliced through it. He put his hand in her chest, pulled out her heart and dropped it on the floor. He stamped on it, crushing it. My brothers shouted as he made his way back to me. I blacked out as he cut me again. When I came round, he was cutting dean on the back. I struggled against the strips of metal and he turned to me stabbing Dean through the neck. He had pinned dean to the wall by a knife in his neck. Caleb and Ash screamed. Tears ran down my face leaving clean stripes on my cheeks. He killed Caleb by beheading him, Ash by yanking his guts out. I threw up each time, it was horrible watching my family die one by one. Zak and Kyle looked so scared. He made his way to them and stabbed them lots in the chest. The last stab killed them. I struggled even more knowing I was next. Then he left. A few hours later, he came in and released me, letting me go. I was surprised, then ran for my #life like hell was chasing me. I went to the police and told them everything. They sent me to the hospital and the doctor checked me then sent me with the police. I took them to the place and watched as they assessed the area. A flash appeared and killed them all, ripping their bodies apart, pulling the organs out, everything. I was last. I felt the knife slide across my neck slowly. I felt his arms holding me as I felt my blood flowing down my porcelain skin onto my dress. I looked up as I was taking my last breaths and recognised the face in full light. It was my baby's father. My eyes closed as I died. My last thought was that I'd found the dad and he was a killer. He killed my family and the police. He killed me then held me in my last moments. Years and years later, a hiker found the building and the bodies. He was killed instantly. Rumours go around the town that the building is cursed. One body was never found but had been killed by the killer. The body was my body. He had buried me in the lovely valley next to it. He put a mini gravestone there as well.. I had always tried to protect my village, I failed as a human and alive. I didn't want to fail and a spirit, I lure people there to find the pile. One person found them and made it out alive. I led him to my little grave and watched him carry my ever beautiful body to the village. They gave everyone a proper burial. I still watch the village hundreds of years later.

Devil's Daughter I had a normal teenage girl #life until he came. He was in my room, with my suitcases packed, my room was bare. Everything packed or gone. My grandmother was there crying until he grabbed my forearm. Puff. We were gone just like that. I opened my eyes very slowly to reveal a paradise that was hot, beautiful and had lots of fire. I screamed when I realised it was Hell. He was the Devil. I sank to my knees, only to be dragged upwards by someone. I let them drag me somewhere, they released me in a big room in front of a big black throne. I looked up to be faced by a man wearing all black. He had a black bone crown resting on his head. He had a matching tiara on a silk pillow on the throne next to him. The devil also was holding a small delicate black tiara with rubies and amethysts embedded into it. He shouted for a maid to take me to my room where I found was in the highest and most secure tower. As soon as the door closed and locked, I walked around the room and was awed by the decorations. There were big velvet curtains at every window, the bed was covered in black, purple and red silk sheets. There was a walk in closet that only held gowns in every shade of dark colours, it held knee length dresses in the same colours and there was another door. The other door led to a closet of shoes and jewellery. I walked back to the main room only to meet a team of maids that crowded me. After they were finished, I looked in a mirror, I was wearing a black floor length dress with my hair curling around my shoulders. A guard came in and led me to the throne room again where the Devil, King of Hell awaited me. He made a beeline for me and placed the tiara in amongst my blonde curls. A few days had passed and I caught word of a ball coming up. I went to find my father and found him in a huge garden room filled with black, red, purple, silver and gold flowers. It was breathtaking, he was twirling a purple lily in his hand and in the other hand, there was a picture of him, a woman and a baby. I guessed the baby was me and the woman was my mother. A woman I hadn't seen in fourteen years, a woman who abandoned me to my grandmother, a woman who never cared about me and a woman who had never told me the truth. The truth that I was a princess of Hell, land of the dead. My father turned and saw me, I could he had been crying and I realised so had I. I turned on my heel and ran for the tower. I was only stopped by someone whipping a boy who looked about a year or two older than me. I ran in front of the woman. Her whip caught my bare arm and pushed me to the floor. The tiara fell off and landed halfway across the room. My father ran into the room accompanied by a lot of guards. A couple ran over to me and helped me to my feet, another couple went to the room and pushed her to her knees in front of the King. When I was on my feet, I walked over to the boy and helped him up. He was gorgeous. He picked my tiara up and put it on my head, then he looked at the woman and the guards. He began shifting his weight from foot to foot. A guard started to lead me back to my room but I insisted that the boy came as well. He looked gratefully at me and I smiled. The guard had left us in my tower and I watched curiously as the boy went straight to the fireplace and huddled there. Even though Hell had pits of fire, it was freezing most of the time. I quickly went to my closet and changed into the lightest dress I had, a sapphire blue mini dress. I replaced the tiara with a hairband and the heels with ballet flats from home. I walked back to the boy to find him with a biscuit in his hand and sugar around his mouth. I kneeled on the floor next to him and he looked alarmed. We sat and talked about random things. It turns out he is really sweet and is called Kile. We laughed for hours, then we were interrupted by a knock at the door. I got up and answered it to reveal a guard who walked uninvited inside my room. I rolled my eyes and sat back down with Kile. On the night of the ball, I found it was to welcome the new princess, me. My maids dressed me in an elegant ruby red gown with heels that will kill my feet. The twisted my hair into an equally elegant bun with strands of blonde curls framing my face. Then they placed a new tiara with rubies and diamonds. My neck was decorated with a silver chain holding a large ruby in the shape of a heart. It hung into the low cut of my bodice, my wrists were decorated with diamond bracelets. I was escorted to the ballroom and Kile was awaiting me at the door. He looked so nervous and was in a black suit. I have to admit he was even more handsome. He opened the doors and we walked in, I went to my father who began to make an announcement about how his heir and soul daughter had been returned to him by fate. The ball went on until midnight, which is when I headed to my room. Kile walked me there and we said our good nights. A few weeks went by and I was starting a o get used to living in Hell, it was alright and I'd made a couple of friends. Kile and a few of the guards were nice to me, even the maids I considered as my friends. I wasn't getting used to the fact that whatever I said it was done. My father had started preparing me for the throne which was boring. A few days came and went, I was getting really bored because Kile had work so did my dad. I went looking for him and tried his bedroom. There was no one around so I slipped through the door and went to his desk. I found diaries and opened the most recent one. I read the entry from 2 days ago. It said about how I was young, naive and the perfect choice. I read on to find out he was using me to keep the throne for longer. He even planned for me to be engaged in 3 days. I worked out in my head that I was supposed to be engaged today. Today! I was too young, I'm only 16. I can't get married. There was a smash in the hall, I ran and hid in his wardrobe. Then the door opened and my father walked in with 2 men. One was his age and the other looked about 25. I guessed he was to be my future husband, someone nearly 10 years older than me. I remembered I still had the diary in my hand. I opened it again and began reading. He said stuff about me marrying this man would be good and he would lots of little heirs. I slammed the book shut forgetting the men were outside of the wardrobe. I quickly hid the book in a random coat pocket. The doors flew open and the young man was stood there, he smiled softly then grabbed my arm and led me to my father. He took me by the wrist and sat me down in a chair. He nodded to the young man and he introduced himself and his father. They were from a neighbouring kingdom, so they were King and princes as well. King Stephen and prince James. James led me outside to the gardens, to the gazebo where an afternoon tea was ready. I sat across from him and he started talking about himself then came to my side and knelt down. He opened a small black box and asked me to marry him. I couldn't help but start crying, he slid the ring on my finger and helped me stand. We went inside to the my room. He led me to the fire. He placed on hand on my waist and held my hand. He led me into a slow dance, pressing me against him. He began kissing my neck trailing them up to my jaw and my cheek. Then very slowly he kissed the corner of my mouth and when I didn't stop him, he kissed me on the mouth. He coaxed my lips open and explored my mouth with his tongue. A few hours later, I fell asleep curled up next to James. I dreamed of my mother, my grandmother and my old friends. Someone was repeating my name, I opened my eyes to see James looming over me. He wiped my face and I realised I had been crying. He went to get me a drink and I noticed I was in a bed. He must have carried me to the bed so I was more comfortable. James reappeared with a glass of water. I smiled up at him and took the water. James sat next to me, put the glass on a table and leaned over me. He kissed me and coaxed my lips open again, he shoved his tongue in my mouth and explored. Kile walked in and I pushed James away. Kile ran out of the room, I stood up, kicked my shoes off and ran after him. My gown was trailing behind as I ran, so was my hair. It had fallen loose from the curls and hairstyle. I finally caught up with him, when I did, I grabbed his arm and spun him around. Kile placed his hands on my waist and pulled me close, his mouth closed over mine. I pulled away. I told him I was engaged, that he was too late. A couple of days had passed, James moved into my room and we were to be married next week. I was nervous all the time, getting married, being a princess and my father wanting us to have babies as soon as possible. It was all getting to me, luckily I had James. The wedding was in two days time, everything was ready. I was excited, I had fallen in love with James. His sisters were my bridesmaids. The wedding day. Arianna, Lacy, Rosie and Rebecca had all stayed in my room last night and were getting ready now. The maids helped me with my dress, makeup and hair. I was stood outside the ballroom, waiting for my cue to go in. My bridesmaids started walking in so did I. The ceremony was over and we were at the party. I told James I was going outside for some air, he nodded and started dancing with little Rosie. I went outside and found Kile in the secret garden. Our place. I sat beside him and he looked up. His eyes were red, I hugged him and started crying again. I held his hand as we walked inside. I persuaded him to come to the party until he gave in and said yes. After the wedding, me and James went to our room. As soon as the door closed and locked, he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. He unzipped the back of my dress and I stepped out of it, I removed his tie and jacket. He lifted me up as I was unbuttoning his shirt. He laid me on the bed and threw his shirt on the floor. I closed my eyes as he began undoing the ribbons on my corset. My corset joined his shirt on the floor and so did my panties. He removed the rest of his clothes and made love to me. A couple of days had passed since the wedding and I was sick. I kept throwing up and everything. It was horrible. My maids suspected I was pregnant but I kept saying there was no way. A week had passed and I stopped throwing up. A few more weeks had passed and I was getting a bump. My father called a doctor and the doctor confirmed it. I was pregnant. My father and James were so happy. 16, married and pregnant. Well done me and the father was fricking 9 years older than me. A month had passed and my bump was getting bigger, my maids were constantly adjusting my dresses. 3 months had passed and my baby bump was huge. 5 months down, 4 months to go. Kile began visiting again and made fun of me, he also brought some stuff up. James was so excited. 3 more months had passed, the baby bump was massive, I had to stay in bed all the time, I couldn't go anywhere. The doctor came every morning and afternoon to see how I am. I had 3 and a half weeks to go until the birth. The doctor was checking on me and I went into labour. My father and James were in a meeting. James was fetched immediately and within minutes he was by my side. I kept pushing whenever the doctor.told me to. Eventually, the baby was born and cleaned. James sat on the bed while I held our baby daughter. We had called her Dahlia. I fell asleep soon after Dahlia did.. Dahlia was 3 months old, James had gone done to another meeting with my father, which left me and Dahlia alone. She started crying, I picked her up and bared my breast to her. When she was full, the doctor appeared. He checked Dahlia. Then he put dahlia in her crib and shut the door. I was on my bed and I sat up but he pushed me back down again. He made sure I was healthy. He then left. They lived in peace, dahlia became a loved princess, I became queen and James became King. The end, they lived happily ever after. my dresses. 3 months passed and my stomach was huge.kept telling them no.James away.to get me a drink and I sat up. I was on the bed, James must have carried me to the bed so I was more comfortable. boring. straight away so that had to be a bonus, right?

I get ready to go to the club with my black minidress, black makeup and black stilettos. When I get to the club doors, I spot my friends and we head inside,we go get drinks, then I spot someone alone. I head over to the man who meets me halfway. He kisses my neck at the tender spot and bites. I feel light headed and I pass out. When I come round,carries me outside and takes me to his home. My eyelids begin to droop, so I fall asleep in his arms. It's morning when I wake up, I get up, shower and dressed into a maxi leopard print dress. Padding barefoot down the grand stairs, I see no one is around, until someone grabs me from behind and bites into my neck. I scream at the pain and fall. The person kneels on the floor keeping hold of my neck while they feed. A man walks in and yanks a younger man off of me, my blood is pooling onto the stone floor from my neck. At first the older one doesn't see, until the younger one points it out. I get told that their blood can heal me, I just need to drink it. I nod as the older one put his bleeding wrist on my mouth. I drink his blood and suck at his skin. The bleeding stops and I try to sit up but the young man lifts me up and takes me upstairs to his bedroom. His name is written on the door and I find out he is called Alex. He sits me on the bed and sits next to me. I try to inch away but he catches my wrist. I can feel my pulse rising from fear, so he must be able to feel it in my wrist. He caresses my skin and pulls me closer. He kisses my speeding pulse and my arm, all the way to my neck. " You nearly killed me, Alex. Do you really want risk it?" I say. " Haha. I can drink from you if you let me or I will just take your blood." He whispers in my ear. I don't answer. I just surrender and bare my neck for him. He crawls on top of me and pins my wrists above my head and lowers his face to my throat." This won't hurt. I promise, my beauty" he says in my neck. I close my eyes and feel a sharp sting in the skin. My heart skips a beat and Alex lowers his whole body on mine. I start to feel sleepy but I force myself to stay awake. " You know, you can go to sleep and I'll let you stay in my bed. Hell I might join you. I'm exhausted. " he says to me, planting a sweet kiss on my lips then goes back to feeding. I stay awake though. When Alex decides he is full, he rolls off of me and holds me while I fall asleep. I'm awoken by something smashing, Alex is gone, so I climb out of bed and stand up. I walk downstairs and find both men in a kitchen, making dinner. I laugh at how burnt the food is and startle them. " do you not know how to cook?" They didn't answer and looked at the floor. I took over and made some sandwiches. I sit down at the table to eat, Alex stays stood at the other end of the room. When I'm finished, I wash the dishes then leave. I go back to my room and put flats on and head downstairs. I go outside and walk around the beautiful gardens. I decide to sit out in the sun for a bit. I stay outside until it's sunset. I start back round to the front doors, at the gates there is a black silhouette. It tries to break in and when the gates swing open, it races towards me. I black out with the impact of the body. Alex is looming over me with a knife in his hand, he slices his wrist open and places it over my mouth. The more I drink, the more aware of my surroundings I become. It's dark, it's cold and I'm on the floor outside. I'm shivering, I should of grabbed a cardigan from the wardrobe. Alex puts his jacket round my shoulders and carries me inside. He takes me to my room and lays me on the bed. He pulls a chair up and sits, he holds my hand as I slip into a deep sleep. When I wake up, Alex's head is on the bed beside my arm. The other man is in the doorway, Alex told me his name is Max. Max signals for me to be quiet and to follow him. I carefully remove my hand from Alex's grip. I throw a dressing gown on then follow Max. He led me to a big room which had been converted into a library. I gasp at the sight of so many books. There was a mini sitting area in the middle of the room. Alex had come in at some point and was enjoying my reaction. Max whispered something to Alex then left. I sat on the sofa with Alex next to me. " So how old are you?" I asked "19" " I'm only 16" " What's your name?" He asked " Rosa" We sat and talked for hours until he said he was hungry and left. I went to the kitchen for a drink and found him and Max with bottles of red blood. I run outside to the gates to find them locked and padlocked. I can't escape. I can't run away. I'm doomed. I'm going to die. As quietly as I can I go to my room and get dressed. I go back to the library and sit and read a book about love. I was in the middle of a page before the book is whisked out of my hands and out of my reach. I look up and Alex has it. I don't smile, I just get up and walk away to to find another book. Every book I pick Alex takes it and puts back. I turn around and look up at him, he looks back at me and walks me backwards into the wall. My head is level with his neck so he bends his head down to kiss me on the forehead before kissing me on the mouth. I'm shocked at first but then I kiss him back and put my arms around his neck until Max pushes him away from me. They glare at each other, then Max takes my arm to lead me somewhere. We go into the kitchen and he shoves me onto the floor . My eyes close as he trails kisses up my neck like he did the first night we met. I move my head, exposing more of my neck to him but instead he kisses me on the lips before trailing kisses to my wrist. With his mouth at my wrist, he takes a bite and drinks. One hand is holding my arm for him . He is drinking too much blood and I can feel my heart racing, my pulse rocketing. Thoughts are going through my head but one thought remains - I'm dying, he's killing me. But he stops the last minute, leaving me in pain. I fall asleep, no dreams and no nightmares. Just peaceful sleep. When my eyelids flutter open, I'm in a bed with oxygen tubes to keep me breathing. There are also tubes carrying blood into my veins, a sign that I lost a lot of blood. I was shattered, so I go to sleep again. When I wake up again, Alex is there. He shoots up seeing that I was awake. He leaned over me and stroked my hair out of my face. I turned my face towards him, he sat on the edge of the bed and kissed me. He kissed me and coaxed my lips apart. I obeyed and he explored my mouth with his tongue. The door opened and he pulled away. Max walked in and looked like he hadn't slept for a while. He started apologising and saying it was all his fault, he should have been more careful with me. I smiled and said it was ok. Then he disappeared and Alex appeared with food for me. A few days later I'm starting to regain strength Alex has been taking me to the library or he brings books to me when I'm too tired. Months pass, I get to know Alex and Max more and I even start to enjoy #life at the castle. When I look at a calendar, I see the date and realise it's my birthday in next week and someone has already wrote it on. Rolling my eyes, I head back into my room where Alex is waiting me. I lie down and straight away he kisses the skin under my ear to my neck and the front of my neck. He likes doing that because it tickles me and it's nice when he acts all sweet. I notice his skin is a little paler than usual. I sit up, startling him. " You haven't fed, have you? Alex, answer." He says no. I lean back into the pillows and offer him my neck where it is tender, where the vein is. He starts to protest but I grab his neck and place his mouth where he starts to lick. He bites, I close my eyes and soon I'm asleep. As I wake up,, Alex is laughing and kissing my neck. I move quickly out of his reach and he face plants the bed. I laugh and I can hear muttering about not trusting teenage girls. We must have woken Max up because seconds later, he storms in. And starts telling us how we are inside and we have to use indoor voices. When he leaves, we burst out laughing and Alex falls off the bed. We laugh even more. A few more days pass until my birthday is the next day. That night, Alex carries me into his room after I fall asleep reading a book in his arms. I'm awoken by confetti in my face. I look around and groan, of course they remembered. Max hands me a sparkly present, before I look at who it is from, I know who sent it. My mom. She loves all things glittery and sparkly. " How does she know where I am?" I ask, " because she is here, Max got her." Alex says. I climb out of the bed and run to where my mom is. She turns around and laughs as I hug her as tight as I can. She begins to cry and has a go at me for telling her I was leaving, I began to explain everything leaving out the fact that I nearly died and there are vampires with me. When we are sat outside, talking, she gives me a card and present from my dad. I roll my eyes, glare at the gift before opening it. It's a dress in my size and the card has a lovely picture on. My mother talks me into trying it on. We race indoors, laughing all the way until we run into the boys. We continue giggling until Alex takes me into the library while Max takes my mom to the kitchen- the other side of the castle. He reminds that I've been in bed a lot with oxygen tubes. "That can't be all you have to say, is it?" I say teasingly. " Well nothing to say but kiss yes." He equally teases me. I walk him backwards into the sofa and push him. I climb onto his lap. I kiss his neck and shoulders. He does the same to me. He licks my neck and kisses it gently. Then he kisses me on the mouth hungrily and pushes his tongue in my mouth. Alex grips my waist, while I grip his shoulders. After a final kiss, I pull away and he chases me upstairs to my room. I hide in the closet and quietly try on the dress. Before I can change out of it, he finds me but his breath hitches through his teeth when he sees it..It's lace, tight and hugs my body. My mom walks in to find me and Alex embracing.She walks out of the room no doubt to one of the spare rooms and it is only then that I notice a door next to my bed. I walk over to it and open it. It connects mine and Alex's rooms together. He sneaks up behind me and wraps his arms around me and starts kissing my skin. He slowly undoes the first three buttons exposing my bra. He looks at me and I nod, pressing his fingers against the buttons. Soon I'm stood in my bra and knickers and he is topless. He lifts me and takes me to the bed. There he lies me down. Alex carefully lowers himself onto me.. We stay like that with me under the covers and him holding me. I end up falling asleep for a bit.After we went to see if my mom was alright, she told me she was leaving to find my father. We hug and say our goodbyes. As soon as she leaves, I collapse, luckily into Alex's arms. I can hear shouting but I can't hear what. Just I like I can hear him whispering stuff to me but I can't hear what he is saying. His fingers are at my wrist then neck and Max has his hands at my chest. My vision goes red and hazy. I start coughing my lips feel wet. I hear Alex swear and say that I'm coughing up blood. Finally I give into sleep, which I guess makes it easier for them to do whatever they are doing. Before I open my eyes, I can hear lots of beeping of machines. Curious I open my eyes and slam them shut due to the bright light. I guess this is what it feels like to die. You can hear everything that's happening but your not there. The machines give one last beep before silence. Alex keeps saying no and doing CPR on me and breathing into my mouth. I can feel it all happening. I start to cry and tears roll down my face. I can hear Alex crying and Max telling him I'm alive. He refuses to look at me. My eyelids open as I take a deep breath. The machines beep again. Max takes my vitals then leaves. I reach out for Alex but my fingertips only brush his arm before dropping again. Alex straightens at the slight movement and whirls around. He rushes to my side. I open my mouth to speak but he covers it with a hand. I scowl and he bursts out laughing. I stay in the bed with the tubes and wires keeping me alive and healthy for a few weeks. At least until I hear shouting from upstairs and automatically get out of the bed and see what is happening. I walk up the stairs slowly so I don't fall and find Max arguing with Alex then on the landing my mom arguing with my dad. " dad? Is that really you?" I say in a small voice. I haven't seen my dad in years since my mom left in the middle of the night with me after a big fight which I had witnessed. Everyone turns around at my voice. I run over to my dad and hug him, he hugs me back and I cry. I haven't seen him but he hasn't changed one bit from my last memory of him. Max tries to take me back downstairs but I push him away. My mom hugs me and my dad. We are like one happy family but it is all an illusion created by my mind. I'm awoken by someone shaking me and I look up to see Alex sat up on the bed, wiping my face with a tissue. " ssshhh. Your okay. It was just a nightmare, another nightmare. It's not real." He keeps repeating this to me and I start to calm down.It's lace, tight and hugs my body. voices. doing the same with my skirt. I pant Rosa" gopasta.

He is always there. Chapter 5 I'm so dazed I can barely tell what is going on. I grip the arms of my chair as Jace puts some boxing gloves on and climbs into the makeshift ring. My father grabs the back of my neck and punched me ,then pushed me away as he climbs in the ring as well. I'm left gasping for air as Alex walks in, he makes me stand up. They start to fight and Alex presses both arms into my chest, Jace sees and gets more wound up. My father just laughs at him. Alex presses tighter, hard enough to make me scream. I'm still screaming at the pain in my chest. Jace gets distracted by me and my dad knocks him out. Alex takes him to the spare room, I follow and stay by jaces side. When Jace begins to wake up, my father comes in and starts beating me until I'm bleeding from several cuts and I'm coughing up blood. He walks out of the house with Alex and locks the house. Probably to get beer and that. Jace picks me up and puts me on the bed with him. Tears are strolling down my face as he holds me. Once I've calmed down, he rolls on top of me and kisses me. I kiss him back, placing my arms around his neck. He kisses me even harder on my lips, then my cheek, below my ear and trailing kisses down my neck and collarbone. Trailing his lips back up my neck and cheek, he smiles and laughs. The front door slams open, My father comes into the room, grabs me, opens a beer and I realise he's in a bad mood. I swallow and he takes a long swig of it. Alex forces Jace to leave the house as I squirm in my fathers grasp to get out of the house.He walks us into my room and pushes me on the bed, he laughs then leaves, locking the door behind him. I get changed into jeans and a shirt, then climb out of the window and down the trellis. I run straight ahead, right into someone. I look up " I'm..I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking. It's my fault." Then I realise it's a police officer. " hi, are you Alexia Adams?" "Yea. Why? Am I in trouble for something?" " No, we are looking Mr. Adams. He is wanted around the area." "oh" I back away from the officer and say that it's just me and my brother. He asks about the bruising on my arms and I say it's because me and my brother box in the gym in our house. He walks away and I continue running to Jaces. "Jace, open the door. Open the door please, Jace. I need to talk to you. Please." I can hear Jace on the other side. " Come on Jace, open the door or I will kick it in." This seems to grab his attention and he opens it. " what do you want alexia?" He says to me in an agitated voice. " I love you Jace." At that he grabs my waist and pulls me to him, shuts the door and pushes me against it. Chapter 6 He kisses me passionately and takes me upstairs and kisses me again. I fall backwards but he catches me and swings me onto the bed. He crawls over me, using his hands to keep me from moving my head and his legs to pin my hips. My father walks in to jaces room even though it's not his house. I scream and Jace rolls onto the bed next to me. He grabs me by my wrist and pulls me off the bed. He pushes me against the wall and puts his hand round my neck and squeezes. I try to pull his hands away from my throat but I can't. My vision goes red and hazy. I give up, I'm going to die. He places his body on mine and looks me in the eye before I hear gunshot. My father falls to the floor and so do I. We land next to each other, him dead and me alive. Alex lets go of Jace and kneels next me, hugging me and crying with me. We are happy that we are rid of our father but without him we have no one. Alex's mum is dead and I don't even know who mine is. The police come upstairs and take him away and lead Alex away. Jace holds me while the police explain everything to Alex as he is the oldest one. I mean he is 19. but

He is always there now. Chapter 3 All I can see is black, all I can hear are mumbles and..crying. My eyes flutter open, there is a window which shows me that it is hail outside, so school will have been cancelled. I move my head to the side slightly and then someone shouts. There is someone in the room with me, but I can't see who. Slowly I begin to recognise the room-Jaces bedroom. Jace and his mother are at the doorway looking at me with concern. "I should go home" I manage to say. "No,don't go Alexia" he says back. " Why, I just want to go home. I'll see you tomorrow." I say with a bit of a stronger voice. A few minutes later, his mum is asking if she can talk to me, so I say yes. When we sat at the table in the kitchen, she sends Jace away and then asks if there has been anything going on at home that she should be concerned about. After answering her questions, I left and went home. I walked in and locked the door, my dad was waiting for me in the room at the back of the house. I went to him, he stopped boxing with Alex, they both took off their gloves and came to either side of me. They started kicking and punching me. When Alex started kicking my ribs,I screamed and a few moments later we heard the door opening. The person came into the room and began getting them off me. Alex wasn't for giving up and even started fighting the guy. My vision became hazy as I slid to the floor, Jace knelt beside me and cradled me in his arms, he took me upstairs and packed a suitcase with my clothes and stuff. Then he helped me to his house after I changed into a dress. His mum was a bit stunned from Jace running out of the house and coming back with me. He explained what had happened while I curled up on the sofa. His mum was utterly disgusted by what my family do to me. When she asked about my mum, I shrugged, I've never met her, I've never seen her and I don't know who she is, her name, her age, her anything. As Jace held me in his arms, I broke down crying. A few hours later, I had cried myself to sleep, when I woke up I expected Alex to come in and beat me. A month had passed, I was staying at jaces house at the minute, school had been cancelled until Easter, with the hail and everything, my breathing was a lot better, my chest stopped hurting. However, one problem remained, I had to go back to my house at some point. At that point the doorbell rang, I went to get the door to find my brother. He put his hands round my neck and squeezed. He took me outside and to my house. He opened the door and shut it again. He took me upstairs and started beating me up. My father was downstairs shouting at someone. Jace stormed into the room and pulled him off of me. With Alex protesting, Jace carried me across the road. Chapter 4 I had managed to convince Jace and his mother that was fine. And that I couldn't possibly live with them anymore, it wasn't fair to them. They let me go back home. I shut the door, went to my bedroom and changed into jeans and a belly top. There was a knock at the door at I ran down the stairs.My dad had ordered pizza, I took it and the guy started to use his thumb to brush blood off my face from my split lip. My dad came downstairs and punched the guy in the face, pushed him outside and shut the door. Then put his attention on me, I told him that school had been cancelled until Easter. There was another bang at the door. Keeping his grip on my arms by twisting them behind my back, he opened the door to reveal Jace. My father invited him in and led Jace to the gym room. All the way, he kept his hands on my arms. My father sat me down on the chairs in the room. Jace looked ready to fight my father. And there was nothing I could do to stop it. honey.
