and violence!

*EMMA'S POV*
A week, I'd been here a week... I think.

I was battered and bruised, I had a cut on my cheek, bruises on my wrists, arms and neck. There was nothing I could do, I was powerless against him, against James... He doesn't care, he never cared about me.

I was sat down stairs in the living room, James was lying on the sofa watching the latest football game, I didn't know what team it was, to be honest I didn't care. It was pointless and boring much like my current life; James and I never spoke, when we did the house turned into a war zone.

"We interrupt this playback with some breaking News; The search for Emma Hiddleston- Swan is still on going. Actor Tom Hiddleston, Emma's adopted father is not giving up the search for his daughter. Many other celebrities have joined his campaign and fans are helping world wide-" A Reporter said.

James turned the TV off; I could hear him growling in anger. I slowly looked at him... "Go to your room!" He ordered me.

I didn't move. "No!" I told him.

"What?" He asked as he turned to look at me.

I stood up finding some courage. "I said no, you can't keep me there forever, my Dad's coming for me!" I told him. "People are looking for me!"

"SHUT UP!" He yelled and grabbed me by my shirt. "You will never leave this house, ever!"

James dragged me up stairs, I tried kicking and punching but it did nothing, he gripped my shirt tighter and pushed me in my room and locked it, I scratched, punched and kicked to the door begging to be let out; This was my prison, this was my hell. I leaned against the door and screamed at the top of my lungs.

"I didn't ask for this!" I stated. "I didn't want this, I just wanted a family, that's all I ever wanted and when I was finally happy it was taken away from me... I guess I'm supposed to be alone after all."

"I'm going out, I'll be a few hours!" James shouted and slammed the front door shut.

I rested my head against the door and sighed; I had to get out of here. I got up and changed my clothes, packed a bag; I put my small blanket in, some spare clothes, as I slipped the bag on my back I looked around my room; I had a pen the other day! I looked by the side of the wardrobe and found it, I stood on my bed and wrote a little message then I pulled a draw out of the wardrobe, I went over to the window and hit the glass with all my strength but nothing happened, just a few cracks, I did it again and it smashed. YES!

I looked out my window, I had a platform below me, I climbed out the window and went to he edge of the platform, I found the drain pipe and slowly made my way down it, I dropped the last few feet and looked up at my shattered window. I looked around, just trees... I took a breath and went over to the trees, I climbed up a tree and over the back fence into a forest; Great! I picked up a large stick, it seemed pretty deadly?

I started walking away from the house, I was walking pretty fast, I want to make sure I was a good distance away from that hell in case James came back early and tried to track me down. The forest was quiet, very peaceful and it was beautiful to look at, the colours the different patterns on the leaves.

I still had no clue where I was. my mind just told me to keep walking, keep walking until my legs couldn't go any further...

- Later that Evening -

*TOM'S POV*

I was a wreck. I couldn't believe this had happened!

I had been round London searching for Emma, searching for James; I knew he had her. I told the police it could be him that had taken here and when they couldn't get in contact with him, all the evidence pointed at him.

My family and friends had been searching too, the children from Emma's dance school had be asking other gangs if they knew anything but it was useless, it was like Emma had disappeared completely.

"I never should have told her to go home, I should have made her stay with me!" I spoke out loud.

"Tom calm down, we'll find her!" My sister Sarah told me. "Everyone is out looking for her!"

I stood up and looked out into my garden. "I can just picture her out there now, practicing her tricks or climbing the tree and hanging upside down in it," I told her.

*KNOCK**KNOCK*
Someone knocked the door.

I went to the door and opened it revealing two police officers. "Mr Hiddleston, may we have a word?" One asked. I nodded and let them in, I led them into the living room and we all sat down. "Mr Hiddleston we have arrested Mr James Swan."

"Where was he?" I asked. "Does he know where Emma is?"

"Mr Swan was found in Stoke on Trent a few hours ago stealing from a hardware store," The other officer explained. "We found where he was living, Emma wasn't there but there was a room that looked like some had been trapped in there."

I frowned. "What do you mean trapped?" I asked in confusion.

The officers handed me some photo's of the room; Scratches on the door, blood on the bed covers and on the walls, the room was trashed and the window was in pieces.

"It is possible Emma was kept in here," An Officer told me.

I shook my head as I teared up. "Do you think she escaped?" I asked.

The Officers looked at each other and handed me another photo, it was off the wall... In Black Marker was written 'Operation Wings is a go!'.

"Does this mean anything to you?" The Officer asked.

I looked at them. "I know someonw who'll know what it means!" I told them and grabbed my phone, I typed in Ruffio's number and called him.

"Hi Tom what's up?" Ruffio asked.

"Ruffio what is 'Operation Wings'?" I asked him.

"It's what Emma and the others call 'Running away', why?" He asked.

I smiled. "Because Emma's alive!" I told him then cut the call, I looked at the Officers. "Only Emma and her friends know what that means, she's alive!"

The Officers nodded. "We have Officers searching all of Stoke," The Officer told me. "We'll bring Emma home!"

I nodded. "Thank you!" I told them.

Please Emma, please be okay!
