Living in a small town can be the worst, but also the best. Living in the small town of Northumberland, you know everyone. But no one knew me . Maybe it's because I lived in the woods for the last couple years. My Mum and Dad use to hurt me all the time. At times I would even black out from all the pain. And I still have scars from the last beating that was like a year or two ago. Now that I'm on my own I don't have to worry about my parents ever again... Unless they find me. But there noses won't be able to find me that easy. After my run in with the police, I now have to start going to school. And I really don't want to be near any humans. I don't hate them, it's just... they bother me a little. Ok. Maybe a lot. They put me in high school even though I'm supposed to be in 7th grade. They told me that my iq level is too high, so they decided to put me in 10th . I don't want to go because no one would be like me unless there are tamed wolf bloods there, but I doubt that. And wild wolf bloods won't even go near any humans. Let alone bright lights. I'm a wild wolf blood, but I'm also tamed. I taught my self how to control my "wolf". I'm starting school tomorrow at Stoney Brooke High School. So I guess that's good that I can control my "wolf", cause I don't think I would want anyone to know that I'm a wolf blood. So until I'm locked away into a hell whole called school , I can run wild and free in the woods for ever. I woke up and realized that today was the day I started school. I got up and put on the school uniform. Which is a grey button up shirt and a dark green tie with Khaki pants. I got out of the trailer and started to run. The school was about five to six miles so I could run there. Once I got there people were looking at me and pointing and saying stuff like 'why is she here', 'loser' or 'she will never fit in'. Ok that one stung a little. I walked in to the school and walked right into the principles office. "Ahh, miss.Echo Morris. You're here" he said I don't really know what to say so "yea... Why wouldn't I be" I said with a small smile. " Don't know, but here is your classes and follow me to your home room." He handed me a piece of paper and I looked down to see what I got. I got photographer and honor classes I didn't even know that could happen and foods! I can't wait for that one. I got up and walked to the door and the man led me to my first class. As soon I walked in the door I smelled another wolf blood actually two . THANK YOU GOD!! I'm not the only one. "Guys this is miss.Echo Morris. She is your new student." he looks over at me and I gave a small smile and a little wave "hi...." I said. I went to the back of the room and sat down and looked down at my hands. My veins stated to turn black. Uhh... again I haven't been here for five minutes and I'm starting to change. I got up and hid under neath the table cause you know I won't be able to run out the door. Then a guy sees me under the table struggling to control my "wolf". He gets up and pulls the fire alarm and everyone runs out the door screaming. He comes to me and comes under the table and says" are you ok?" I look up and say "yea, I am now. Thanks." he grabs my hand and leads me outside "By the way, my name is Rhydian" he says I remember that name my mum would always scream it at my for no reason. "Nice to meet you Rhydian. I'm Echo" we walk out to where everyone is lined up and this girl runs up and starts to talk to Rhydian " Where were you?" She said and he looked over at me. I just look down embarrassed because of what happened. She looks over at me and says "oh.." And walks away. Then the teacher started to yell at Rhydian because he pulled the fire alarm. The principal led him to his office leaving me there to stand alone. The girl comes back and says " hey, I'm Maddie" with a smile . " I'm Echo" I said and we started to talk for a while until we were led back in to the school. After we got back and settled into our seats again we started to learn and the Shirtwaist Fire. It didn't take me that long to blank out into space thinking about my past. Flashback: As my father raised his had for another strike I backed up into a corner and started to cry. I didn't know how much my body could take. My dad hit me in the stomach and I fell to the ground with a thud and just laid there. I didn't have the strength to get up and fight. My mum came up and and kicked me in my ribs. This lasted for a while with me pleading for them to stop but they never do. By the time they stopped I had blood all over my shirt and half of my face was covered in it they left me there in the corner laughing while I laid there softly crying my self to sleep. This type of beating would last up to five to six hours a day so most of my day I would be getting beaten up by the ones that were to protect me.
