The Lost Swan

Leaving this hell of a home

10 years ago....

"What's the situation, Petey?" Detective Parker asked when Petey barged in. "Another foster case, Madeleine Swan, parents Renee Swan and father Charlie Swan. Mother and stepfather are dead."

"So we send her to the father, right?" Petey questions and detective Parker nods. He fills out a form for Madeleine and marks her as 'with parent' so she can be sent there.

"Officer Petey, we got a 10-89 at hillberry highschool," Petey nods and heads out of the office.

A few minutes after he left, something flew by so quick you couldn't really see it. No one could move that fast, so what was it? A breeze filled Petey's office as it moved towards his desk and snatched Madeleine's form. Quickly it was marked as foster home and that her father did not want her. The form was set on the chiefs desk, where he would send it to an orphanage

*Maddeline POV*

My name is Maddeline Renee Swan, I am the sister of Bella Swan, or was..... We got into a certain argument, I said some things that I regret and she said some horrible things back. All those years of sisterly love gone, just like that. Anyway, that is in the past, in the present, I live in an orphanage, while Charlie, my father, and Bella are in Forks,Washington, which is only hours away from here in Seattle. Maybe my family just don't love me anymore. Here at this orphanage I learn only one thing. To fend for yourself, because no one else will do it for you. At the New Horizons Orphanage, I am abused, verbally and sometimes physically. I am treated like a maid, like a piece of dirt. I can't go down one hall without being punched, kicked, shoved, or insulted. God I hate my life. When I was younger I was taken to many homes, but would never last there for more than a month. I was too much of a hassle for them, the kids would often tease me. I wanted to think horrible things about them, but I knew that they did those terrible things to me because they felt like I had: unwanted. Today was the day that the parents would come, the older kids knew that it wouldn't be them that was picked. Parents wanted a child that they could make an impression on, not a moody teenage girl. Mr. Johnson came out and introduced us to the parents with a loving smile, it made me cringe to see it because he never smiles around us. As I was introduced he grabbed onto my shoulder and smiled, making it seem like he was a great loving man who would care for his children. Soon after, the little kids were asleep and us older kids would get it from him. " Candice, next time, you smile like your life depends on it, or else." He barked at poor Candice who was shaking when he showed his fangs.

I know what he is, I think everyone does but is too afraid to admit it, he's a vampire, since he's a vampire he's super strong, he never really uses it, not in front of the younger kids, but let me tell you when he loses his temper it's horrible. I had always wanted to see the world,but I wouldn't know the first place to go. He walks toward me and my heart drops, I've never seen him so livid. "During introductions you are expected to smile, not to whine or frown or pout. If I ever see that on your face again I will beat you!" He yelled. "I-I-I'm sorry sir, I promise not to do it again," I answer wearily, heading for the door. That is until I'm pulled by my hair. The friction of the tiled floor, just begging to cause burns, then down the stairs I go. Most likely breaking a bone per step as I keep hitting the sharp edges of the wooden stairs. I whimper as I hear the sound of him taking off his belt tears begin to appear, "I'm sorry sir" I sob, but he doesn't take the apology. He whips me as I cry out in pain, the belt he uses have coarse metal edges. Once he's done with the whipping he begins kicking and punching not hesitating to use his super strength. At that point I pass out......

There I was lying on the ground lying in my own blood feeling weaker than ever. Occasionally, he would bite me and try to drink my blood, but somehow it would just replenish. That is why he did it to me so often, he could take as much as he wanted to and I would be fine, as long as my body would reject the venom. That is enough, I've got to leave before he kills me. I limp to the bathroom, and clean up my injuries the best I can, which is not that good. I don't have anything except the locket my mother got me for my 8th birthday, which is the 21st of January.

As I sneak out the first story window, my last words are, " I am no one's slave." I run as fast as I can into the woods behind the orphanage.

With each footstep, another wave of energy flows out of my body, 1 day before crossing into La Push, my cuts reopened and began bleeding. Now it's worse, since I don't have any medical supplies, and I am bleeding heavily. The forest suddenly becomes a little blurry, so I rest my body on one of the trees, only to black out.
