I sneak towards the door, being careful to be as quiet as i can. I look back to the kitchen one last time but immediately regret that decision as i stare into the haunted eyes of my father. He takes a step forward and i swiftly open the door and run outside, hoping to God that there are people around. I run down our porch steps and let out a shriek as my wrist is grabbed. I kick backwards eventually hitting my target as my wrist is let go. I run down the street, hearing the thundering footsteps behind me. "Help! Please!" Several people look over at us and others run out of their houses, concern clear on their faces. A tall guy runs up to me and pulls me into his arms. I hide my face against his chest, tears running down my face.

"The cops have been called, don't come near us" The man takes a step bak pulling me with him. I hear another voice speak up.

"Hey, back off! I have a gun, i won't hesitate to shoot you idiots!" I hear a growl and then my father speaks up.

"I will get revenge on you one day Emilia!" The footsteps disappear and i feel multiple people surround me making me shrink into the unknown man's arms.

"Shh, it's okay. Calm down" I look up at him for a few seconds before everything goes dark.

Luke's POV

I jump off the ambulance urgently looking around for the injured girl. I see a young man cradling someone in his lap and i quickly run over to them. I gasp when i see the fragile body. "Can you pass her to me as gently as you can?" He pushes himself to his knees and slowly slides her into my arms.

"Her back is bleeding" As soon as he says that i can feel the blood seep onto my hands through her shirt.

"Can you go over and talk to those cops? Once you're done, you can come to the hospital if you want." He nods and walks over to the policemen. I walk over to the stretcher and gently place her fragile body onto it and stepping her in. A nurse helps me let the stretcher into the ambulance. I take a seat beside her and start checking her vitals. The ambulance starts moving and she lets out a groan. "Hey sweetie, you're safe now." She opens her eyes and looks at me with a sad look. "I'm Dr Luke Hemmings, but call me Luke okay?" She nods before looking at her arm where i had inserted her IV. "Can you tell me about yourself?" She hums in response, closing her eyes for a few seconds.

"Emilia Grace, i'm 16" I nod and grab her hand, stroking her knuckles gently. "Do i have to talk about it?"

"You don't have to now but you will have to eventually." She closes her eyes and a thought crosses my mind.

'How could someone hurt her?'
