When my father was arrested, it was the happiest day of my life.... Then again the most painful. I had been rushed to the hospital I had a broken arm and a few broken fingers, but other then that I was fine. They put that germ crap that stops cuts from getting infected on my cuts. After some of my scars healed, they put me in an adoption home. I was surprisingly adopted quickly. They didn't even seem to mind my what are now scars and broken bones.
In fact, it wasn't even a them, it was just a her. A single parent. But I didn't mind, I was used to it. The girl herself had dogs, but they were nothing like my dads Rottweilers and Dobermans. They were a husky and a blue healer, my now personal favorites.
My new mom actually lived on a farm too. She had cows, pigs, chickens, cats, and horses. Her horse, Ella, had been pregnant when she adopted me. About a month after I was living with her, Ella had a filly. My new mom gave the little horse to me and let me call it whatever I wanted. I went with Fade. The horse was an appaloosa.
I was for once sense my mom had died happy. I had someone who cares for once in a long time.
But it didn't last long...
About six months after I was living with my new mom, Melony, I thought everything was normal and I was comfortable with everything I did now. I had friends at school now sense before people had been scared of my cuts and bruises. I always told them dogs attacked me and my father was a psycho but everyone thought I was trying to draw attention to myself. The teachers had always known I had a wild imagination with the stories I wrote in writing, so they didn't fall for it either.
But luckily I moved too a new school down the line from my old one. My main friends were, Rain and February, the twins, Aurora, Piper, Luke, Celeste, Hazel, Leo, Jason, and Percy. Everyone had known each other sense they were born. Other then Rain and February, the others parents had ran away together when they were young and we're doing fine now. They had ran way when they were 13. Rain and February had never met their dad and only had there mom, Marina. The twins were excited for summer sense there mom had told them about the summer camp they would be going too this year.
Everything for once was fine until the next morning when Melony had been watching the news.
"A prisoner has escaped jail last night. By the name of Patrick Mclellan."
My heart nearly stopped. That was my fathers name.
"The suspect was arrested for abusing his daughter, with the name of Fern, by having illegal dog fights and illegally betting on them. It's also been found he murdered his now diseased wife, by burning the barn she was in."
Melony then looked over at me. I was starting too cry. She ran over and hugged me.
"He won't find you its ok. I won't let him."
That day while I was at school she called the cops and asked for someone too stay on watch near the home. So they sent a guard at night in case something happened.
I walked into the lunch room and sat down with my friends next to Percy and February.rain could tell something was up, even though she was only 8. It was weird. Her sister was 5 months younger then her yet they were twins. I was hesitant to respond but I finally said it all.
"My dad escaped prison last night." I told them.
They all were in shock. February and Rain hugged me and the other girls ran over and did the same. The boys felt awkward about hugging so they patted my shoulders. I nearly teared up. Just a few months ago I was alone to fend for myself, now I had people who loved me and cared.
Then again my father was out there. I didn't know where but he'd be looking for me or at least too get revenge on me or attack Melony. But I couldn't let that happen, not too any of my friends or my new mom.
