I know I need to be updating my other two stories and I have chapters for them I just need to type them up and I had to write this for English so it was already typed up so I decided to make part of my story chapter one and I know its short. Anyways enjoy. And Bella has a stepdad before Phil in my story and a little brother and sister

"Don't you ever come back!" my drunken stepfather, Kyle, yelled.

He is an alcoholic and he's not one of those, "act insanely funny," types either. He's more a, "beat you into next week," type. His routine is always the same. He goes to Billy's Bar to when my mom goes to work; she's an E.R. receptionist and when she leaves he goes and gets drunk. He then comes home to our two-story Colorado house totally wasted and takes all his anger out on me. He thinks it's funny, I disagree! My mom is oblivious to it. I'm clumsy so I fall down and get hurt a lot.

She's getting suspicious, due to the fact that at the beginning of summer vacation I had to go to the E.R. when Kyle lost a five hundred dollar bet, he was furious. I arrived at the E.R. with two broken ribs, a cracked rib, and a broken nose. Mom saw me and asked what happened. Kyle told her that I went to the library and found that it was closed so I turned to go home falling down the white concrete stairs of the public library. I, of course, had to play along with his lie. Mentally I was screaming what really happened along with every swear word in my vocabulary.

Now you may be asking yourself, "why didn't she just run away?" I didn't do to the fact that I have a little brother and sister I take care of while mom's at work. It I left who was to say Kyle wouldn't start beating them, his own son and daughter. Yes, he's sadly their dad though they hate him. Both of them are four years old with chocolate brown hair that reminds me of Dove milk chocolate. My brother, Tyler, has thin lips, a strong jawbone a small round nose, and emerald green eyes.

My sister, Sapphire, has full lips, strong cheekbones, a small pointed nose, and sapphire blue eyes that look as if they belong to Zeus himself. They can be electrifying and warm and kind at the same time.

Tonight however, Kyle kicked me out when I fought back during our never ending fight. I had had enough! I wasn't going to put up with his… nonsense anymore! He was beyond furious! He told me to leave and never come back, a demand I happily obliged.

I ran upstairs and grabbed three ratted up old backpacks. The first I packed cloths for the three of us. The second was home to blankets, tarps, and a first-aid kit, as with a few thousand dollars that I saved and that of which I stole from Kyle. The third and final backpack I packed any nonperishable food we had along with water, pop, and juice. Then I went to wake the twins up.

"Why are we leaving?" Ty asked.

"Kyle kicked me out and I'm not leaving without you."

"Ok." They replied in unison.

I'm like their own personal superhero so they listen to me and do as I say. They think I'm like Flash or Iron man.

We left out our back door into the cool Rocky Mountain air. Our destination was a remote valley in the mountains I found a few years back. It is full of wildflowers and has a picture perfect lake. The place is just peaceful and tranquil.

We walked the small game trail the few hours it took to reach our own little piece of heaven. The moon was full and reflecting off the lake when we arrived.

"Bella, this is so cool! Can we live here!?!?" Saph squeaked.

"Until winter, yes."

"Awesome!" they squealed.

I had to laugh.

We lived there for a month without any problems. We went swimming, hiking, and cave exploring; only we didn't climb in them. It was like a non-stop vacation!

Then exactly one month after we arrived when the moon was full in the sky, I heard voices. At first they were inaudible but after time they became more distinct until I could make out seven male voices.

Please review. If I get 5 reviews today I will post another chapter.
