As my feet hit to cool ground I started running. I ran and ran, faster and faster. I feel my feet getting taken underneath me and I fall face first on to the ground. I turn around to see Vanoss sneering,

"Where do you think your going?" He asks, I gulp,

"U-u-um." I start but I get hit in the side, the wind getting knocked out of me. He smiles and kicks me again and again until there's blood on the ground.

"That's for getting off the hook." He says, I groan and he walks off. I pull myself off the ground and limp to the small woods off the side of my neighborhood, I stumble over roots and stumps and find myself sitting against a tree crying. I want to die. I want to die!

I look around my surroundings and hear twigs being snapped. I started to freak out when I saw a man walking towards me,

"Please don't hurt me!" I whimper, the man looks over at me and crouches in front of me,

"What are you doing out here?" He asks,

"Abusive father, ran away." I stutter, the mans eyes soften,

"You can come home with me, I have a wife and a boy, you can stay with us for a while." He says, I apprehensively nod and he leads me out of the woods. We head to a car and he opens the door for me. I silently look out the window and eventually fall asleep.
