I close my door and lock it, shoving stuff in front of it. I run and hide in my closet as my chest heaves. I open the small door and crawl in and hide the door with a bunch of blankets. I close the door and curl up into a ball. I bury my face in my knees and get to calm my breathing. I hear my door bust open and flinch.

"ALLISON!!! I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!!!" He yells furiously.

I squeeze my eyes shut and hope my secret spot in my closet will keep me safe.

"COME ON OUT!!!"

I bite my lip and I hear the closet door rip open. I flinch again and slide backward.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?! COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!"

I catch a little bit of light through the crack of the door that wasn't there before. He knows.

"Not in here? Okay, but I'll find you sooner or later."

I hear him walk away then the door rips open and I scream as he jerks me out of the small place. He slams me on the floor and kicks me in the side. I crawl backwards and flinch slightly.

"Oh no, you get double punishment because you ran and hid."

He goes to grab me but I run out of the room. I run downstairs and out the main door. I run down the road as fast as I can and try to get away. I run off into the woods, which is dangerous around here. I hurtle a tree and run about another mile deeper into the woods before resting my back against a tree. My chest heaves and I try to catch my breath. I grip a low branch to hold myself up when a twig snaps. I look around slightly and push myself up a little higher. I cover my mouth with one hand to make my breathing quieter. Another twig snaps and leaves rustle. I squeeze my eyes shut and shake my head slightly. I hear leaves crunch and my breath hitches.

"Wait! I think someone's out here." Someone says in a hushed tone. I open my eyes and keep a hand over my mouth.

"Or maybe it's an animal muscles for brains." Someone snaps back.

"Nope, definitely human." Another chimes.

"Rosalie, take Jasper back." Rosalie? Jasper? Oh, god.

"You see anyone?" A voice asks.

"No, but I can smell someone." The first voice replies.

"Allison? Is that you?" One of the others asks. I clench my jaw. "Carlisle, she's hurt. She goes to school with us."

"Allison, we can help you if you're hurt. It's me, Alice. We're lab partners." Alice, great. "Are you okay? Why are you out here? Especially this late." I could ask all of you the same. "Allison?" I hear footsteps nearing me and move my hand away from my mouth and take the hand off of the limb.

"We can help you Allison." I cross my arms and the footsteps get closer.

"I don't need help." I state as they round the tree.

"Why are you out here so late?" Alice asks.

"I could ask the same of you." I retort.

"You know I'm surprised how you're even standing, let alone you were running. Two broken ribs is a lot of pain, running with two broken ribs is a lot worse." I manage to make out Edward and Emmett, but it was Edward who spoke.

"I do it all of the time." I say glancing at the ground. "I'm practically numbed to the pain anyways. After so long you stop feeling it."

"Why haven't you told anyone?" Edward asks.

"What do you mean?" I question.

"About your dad." He clarifies.

"What do you know?" I ask gripping the limb again.

"All of it." He replies.

"How?" I watch him carefully. He glances at Dr. Cullen who nods a reply.

"That's hard to explain." Edward states.

"I'm not answering anything else until you tell me." I retort.

"I can read minds." He says. I scoff and roll my eyes.

"The truth." I grumble. His eyes glow red and I bite my lip slightly. I half nod. "Okay so that wasn't full truth, but I'll take the glowing eyes as a sign that you probably can read minds, but then again considering what you guys were saying, you're all definitely not human."

"Then you would be correct." Dr. Cullen states.

"Why haven't you told anyone about your dad?" Edward asks again.

"You're the mind reader." I retort. He shakes his head slightly. "He would've done a lot worse than just breaking a few bones if I told anyone, and you can't tell anyone or he'll probably rip my head off or something."

"He's probably not going to be too nice about you running either." Alice adds.

"He was already beating the hell out if me for running to my room and barricading the door then hiding in my closet. I'll probably get locked in that damned freezer for the rest of night, but that's nothing new." I state.

"Locked in a freezer?" A woman slightly gasps.

"Unfortunately, yes, but I'm used to it. The son of bitch has been doing it for years." I scoff.

"How long is years?" Dr. Cullen asks.

"Since he killed my mother, I'm just surprised he hasn't killed me yet." I reply. Emmett places a hand on my shoulder and I shrug it off. "You were there, you're the one that had to break the news to the husband and four year old daughter. The results were inconclusive for the COD. I know exactly how he did it. He made it look like an accident too. I know how to do it, but it takes too much time to do it, time that I don't have."

"If you watched him kill her, why didn't you say so and never get abused a day in your life?" Alice asks.

"He told me if I said anything he'd kill me too." I shrug.
