While you sleep//Peter Pan fanfic

Chapter 1

.Elisabeth's POV

A tear trickles down my cheek.

"Are you crying?" A voice says. I shake my head. No I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to let him see me cry. I won't let him.

"I said are you crying?" My stepdad yells.

"No. I'm not you sick bastard....." I screamed. He grabs my ear pulls me up then throws me down.

"Richie, stop!! You're hurting her," my mothers voice shrieks.

"That's the point, Linda," his voice sounds calm, too calm. Almost as if he knows something, I don't know.   

I stand up behind him. I raise my hand to hit him.

"Elisabeth, no!!" My mother screams, Richie turns around and hit my left cheek knocking me out cold. As my head hits the ground I hear my mother 

"Elisab......" She gasps

I'm surrounded by blackness. My head is dizzy, too dizzy, too dizzy to function.

I slowly open my eyes, I hear crying next to me. My mum sits on the floor crying next to me.

"You killed her, you killed her. You monster!!" She screams through her tears. I see her stand up and start attacking Richie. She pounds and pounds on his chest. Richie lifts his hand, and hits her upside the head.

"Mum!" I scream scrambling up. She starts to fall backwards, I catch her and fall to the floor, holding her in my arms.

Her body is cold and lifeless. I put my ear to her heart listening for a pulse, it's there but slow.

Bum..........bum...................bum.........................bum........

"Elisabeth stay strong..." My mum coughs blood coming out of her mouth. "Stay strong my little fighter, find true love.. And remember I love you." She says then her breath slows and her heart beat is gone.

"Mum. Mum. Mum no mum you can't go mum!!" I scream, shaking her trying to wake her. I don't cry Richie is still behind me. I won't cry because I don't want him to see me cry and beat me because I'm 'weak'.

"You. Killed. My. MOTHER!!!" I scream in furry. I run toward him to start beating him. But he doesn't let me. He starts beating me back, I don't feel a thing. I only feel angry. Then he grabs a empty beer  bottle and snaps it in half on the table. He still holds half. He knocks me to the ground and, starts curving a word into my arm. I scream out of pain.

"Stop screaming you weakling," the craving goes on. I scream and scream. The next thing I know Im passed out on the floor.

I open my eyes and run towards my room. I'm blind with rage, as I pack my bag to leave. I put two tank tops, a t-shirt, three pairs of jeans, a pair of jeans cut to shorts, a sweatshirt, and converse.

I put my hair into a pony tail. And jump out the window, and jump onto the roof. I slowly climb down the ladder from the roof to the ground, and start running.

"Elisabeth!!!!" I hear a scream coming from inside my house. I keep running ignoring my stepfather. I run towards the docks, hoping I can stowaway on a ship. I see a giant one, and jump over the side.

"All men on deck!" A man yells.

"I captain!" The crew yells. I step behind a box, and crouch. The boat takes off.

We sail for a few hours, then I hear a grumble. Crap, I haven't eaten at all today. I sneak away from my hiding place, there's rolls in the middle of the deck.
