I wake up. I look around. Am I in heaven? I look down and I'm sitting on a bed. Then it hits me, I'm in a hospital. Wait, how am I still alive?
I carefull lift my shirt up to see my wound. I remove the bandaging only to find nothing. Not a single scratch. I close my eyes and open them again just to make sure I'm not imagining things. I open them again and sure enough there was nothing. Gasping, I get up and run to bathroom.
I look at myself with wide eyes. I lean in closely to look at myself better.
No this can't be! No no no!
I stare at my now red eyes. Alpha eyes. I put a hand over my mouth to quiet my sobs and then I see claws on my finger tips and I loose it. Tears stream down my face and my knees collapse under me. I fall to the floor crying. How did this happen? Did the blade have some sort of the nogitsunes blood or saliva on it?
"No one can see me like this." I say to myself. "I don't want anyone getting hurt."

I'm about to escape through the hospital window when I remember something important that Scott always mentioned. Control. You have to learn how to control it before you go Allison.

I sit down and start taking slow and steady breaths. Then I start thinking of Scott and a small smile appears on my face. If I was his anchor, he can probably be mine. I watch as my claws slowly start to disappear. My smile is replaced with a frown when I think of Isaac. I shouldn't have led him on, I am still in love with Scott. It was so stupid of me to deny it and deny him. More tears form in my eyes. This is why I have to leave. I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me anymore.

After continuing to experiment my control and getting a hang of it, I gather as much things that I need as possible. I get food from the mini fridge in my hospital room and make my own bag using the sheets.

Finally, I gather everything and check the watch on the night stand. It read 8:09 a.m. I sigh and think about where I'm going to go so I won't be found. One country pops in my head.

Mexico.

It's far but not that far from here. I don't want to end up like my mother. I close my eyes, be brave Allison. I take a deep breath and open the window. I throw all my belongings out the window. I close my eyes and jump. I land softly on my feet. I take off running towards my destination. My escape. My new home.
