Note: Chapter 1-6 are edited. Now there's more feelings and it's a bit easier to get in the story...I think. Enjoy!
SHORT FLASHBACK:
…"We'll call her 'Sam' and leave it with that." T.J. sighed annoyed by the two girls.
"That's more for a guy, don't you think?" Ivella obviously found the name 'Sam' off limits.
"I don't care. Her name is Sam." T.J. said.
"Then at least call her Sammy." Sharon added.
"Fine." T.J. grabbed the pen and wrote the name down in the notebook, then gave it back to her. "It says: 'Sammy'. It will be your name from now on, so when people ask you, you won't have to say you were never given one, cuz that just raises too many questions."
"As if her appearance alone doesn't raise any questions." Chris muttered.
T.J. pretended not to hear Chris and continued. "Now, you better go before these two girls start changing your name again." he smiled at her.
She smiled back a bit shyly and thanked them all, even Chris, in her own way (nodding) and left with a new map and her own name.
Sammy was again on her way to Edward, she was back on track...

I own nothing except this particular storyline. So there, no one's gonna see me in court.

CHAPTER 7: WORDS AND RUNNING…
-
Because of the experiences from the moment she stepped outside, until the moment she was given a name, she encountered several humans. And those encounters were enough for her wanting to avoid every one of them. She got so confused by those humans. They kept scaring her; making her uncertain of what to expect.
At first they seem nice and willing to help, but the next they're the enemy. However, there were some who actually tried to help her. Some like Ivella, or Sharon, T.J. and the second guy she met; Nino. He had helped her away from Jason; the boy with the knife, who wanted all of her belongings.
But she hadn't forgotten about the police. They were scaring her the most with their loud sounding cars and their intimidating uniforms. They were not what her father said they were. The didn't want to help her. According to this man, the father of the twin brothers, the police would've taken her to the hospital. But that's not where she had to go. Why didn't they understand? If she would've been taken to the hospital, it would slow her down and she would never be with Edward before Sunday.
Humans were a mystery to her.
She promised herself no more distractions. Just one priority and one only; get to Edward before Sunday morning and avoid any human contact.

So she walked on, holding the notebook with the map in it, in her hands. Again she could admire the moon and stars above her. Only clouds hid them, now and then. But that was fine by her, as long as she had enough light to see the map. And if the moon an stars weren't able to provide her with that, there were enough streetlights she could turn to.
'It's Friday night.' she thought. She took another look up and felt something small touching her nose. She closed her eyes in reflex and stepped back. What was that?
She moved her hand up to her nose and touched it. It felt cold and wet. She knew what this was. It was called water!
More and more of those silly wet drops came falling from the sky. She smiled as she felt the drops tickling her neck and noticed how the drops fell faster and faster. There was another name for water that came from the sky. But what was that again? She couldn't reach the word for it. The word was still lost inside her head. Her smile died away when she realized that not even the experience of falling water could trigger her memory. So much for her trigger-theory.
She gazed up as if the clouds would tell her the name for the falling water, but the silence in her head was tormenting her. If nothing would remind her of this particular word…then, would more words be…gone?
She closed her eyes and bowed her head, sighing once to relieve her from confusion, but it wouldn't help.
Maybe, just maybe Edward could help her when…Edward! She got once again distracted. How could she ever reach Edward in time if there was just too much to see in this strange world? Humans, cars, falling water, the moon and stars, the beautiful sun and much, much more!
'No, stop it. I have to move. No distractions, concentrate.'
-
Sammy could concentrate all the way to Saturday morning. She walked down the street when suddenly she heard voices calling out: "It's her! I swear it's her! Haven't you seen the news this morning?"
Sammy looked behind her. There were humans and they were clearly talking about her. They glared in her direction. And what was this with the 'news'? Another voice added. This one more silent.
"The girl that was spotted spying in the village nearby. She was chased down the woods, but they never got her."
"O yea, the diseased one. Look at how pale she is."
"Let's get her."
"Are you insane? If she really is sick, then what are the odds you get it? Just call the police."
'The police!' Sammy thought in shock.
"Let them know she's here and let them deal with it. Gimme your phone."
Sammy waited no longer. She ran as fast as she could away from them, but they seemed to chase her. Sammy kept running…
