************************************
*Alex's P.O.V.*

I walk into the room to the back of the building. Amy wasn't kidding the bath tub was full of water. I grabbed the bucket beside it and got some water from it. Some of it splashed up when I placed it on the floor and knelled. I washed my hands in it and looked down to see it turned red, when I looked closely I saw my own reflection looking back at me. That's when it came back the day I never wanted to remember.
*Flashback*
Glass shattered against the wall and I moved to the side to escape the fragments of glass. I didn't do so well, I felt a sharp pain in my ankle and looked down to see a peice of glass in it. "Come here you little bastard!" I heard my step-dad yell at me. I tried to make a run for it, any normal day I would beable to out rum him yea any normal day but today wasn't one of those.  The glass in my ankle made me limb and be slow. I wasn't fast enough and he caught me. He throw me aganist the wall and pulled out his switch blade. The throw had made me fall but I was back up on my feet in seconds. I knew he was going to cut me again. He made a swift jab and I tried to dodge it but I was pend. He had stabbed me in the gut. I punched him in the face and limbed out of the house as fast as I could. I don't know how far I ran everything was starting to blur. I found a place behind a dumpster and I hid. I pulled out the glass in my ankle and the knife in my stomach. I looked down to the side of me at a puddle that was colored red with my blood, I looked closer at it and saw something. There was a weak girl looking back at me, it wasn't me I'm not weak. I heard footsteps and grabbed the switch blade just in case. "Merle!" I heard someone scream. Merle? What is a Dixon doing on this side of the territory, it isn't there's  I thought. Just as I did a broad  male figure shadowed over me. Everything was blurry I wanted to raise the blade but I couldn't, I couldn't feel anything. This must be some kind of nightmare I thought as the man bent over me, the everything went black.
*End of Flashback*
I looked up and realized I zoned out in a memory, a terrible memory. I dumped the bloody water down the sink that leads outside. I look into the mirror and see someone. I see a strong independent woman that can take care of herself,  I see myself. I smirk and walk out of the room returning to the new group whos lives I'd just saved not two hours ago.
