A New Family(A Twilight Fanfic)

Chapter 5

WARNING: This chapter does mention rape.

The next morning, Macy was in the kitchen eating breakfast. "Macy, can I talk to you after you're done eating?" Carlisle asked. Macy nodded. She finished eating and followed Carlisle up to his office. He closed the door behind him.

"What did you want to talk about?" Macy asked.

Carlisle sat on the couch and motioned for Macy to join him. "How are you doing?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" Macy asked.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright after what happened in the middle of the night." Carlisle said.

"Oh." Macy said. She was quiet for a minute. "Honestly. I'm scared." She replied.

"What are you scared of?" Carlisle asked.

"I'm scared my father is going to come after me since I ran away." Macy said.

"He's not going to come after you." Carlisle said.

"I'm also scared of you guys." Macy said. She felt a little guilty for being scared of the Cullens when they have been nothing but nice to her.

"Why?" Carlisle asked.

"My nightmare was of what happened the other day. In my dream, you guys were hitting me because I broke the picture frame." Macy said. 

"We would never hit you like your father did." Carlisle said. "You don't have to worry about that." Macy nodded. Carlisle could tell that Macy was keeping something from him. "Is there something else?" He asked.

"No." Macy said.

"Macy." Carlisle said.

"It's nothing." Macy said.

"Macy, I can tell there's something you're not telling me." Carlisle persisted. "Talk to me, please."

Macy hesitated before speaking. "My father used to do more than just hit me." Macy said.

"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked.

"He would intentionally burn and cut me. That's why I had the bandages on my wrists." Macy said. "But, He would also touch me in a way that made me uncomfortable."

Carlisle realized where she was going with this. "Did he touch you inappropriately?" He asked. Macy nodded, looking down at her lap. "Macy, I'm going to ask you something and I need you to be honest with me." Carlisle said. Macy nodded. "Did he have sex with you?" Carlisle asked, softly. He had a bad feeling that he already knew the answer. Macy didn't answer and continued to look at her lap. "Macy?" Carlisle said.

"Yes." Macy replied. They heard something crash downstairs and a door slam.

"How long had he been doing that to you?" Carlisle asked.

"Since I was ten." Macy answered.

Carlisle was quiet. He immediately felt anger towards the man that did that to Macy. He couldn't imagine why anyone would do that to a child. He wrapped her in a hug. "I'm so sorry that happened to you, Macy." Carlisle said, hugging her tightly. "You didn't deserve to be put through that."

Macy was crying against his shoulder. "I'm terrified of that happening again." She said between sobs.

"Shh. It's ok." Carlisle said as he rubbed her back. "Macy, I promise you no one here will ever hit you or hurt you like that. You're safe here." Macy pulled away. They stayed quiet for a few moments. Carlisle noticed how exhausted Macy looked. "You look tired." He said. "Why don't you go back to bed."
