The door in the living room went open and Kelsey entered the house. She had wished her parents were gone to bed, but even her 13 year old sister was still awake.
“You’re home early” Amber noted, looking at the clock. “It’s not even midnight yet”
“What’s on your head?” Gabe pointed at Kelsey’s head. Kelsey, who had forgotten there was blood on it, tried to wipe her head. “Oww” she groaned.
“What is it?” Gabe repeated. Kelsey shot a glance at her sister and Rachel understood what she was trying to say. “Amber, go to your room. It’s bedtime”
It was as if Rachel had ordered her to chop her feet. “What? No! I want to stay up. I want to hear what’s going on” Amber protested.
“It’s none of your business” Kelsey said snarky.
“Amber, please go to your room” Rachel said.
“No!” Amber yelled. Gabe grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs. They heard Amber crying; they knew how violent their father could get. He came back downstairs soon enough.
“Now what happened?” he asked in a tone that required a straight answer.
“Car accident” Kelsey answered quickly. “I didn’t see the red light”
“Any other victims?” Gabe asked and Kelsey noticed how his angry voice now had an undertone of fear. She didn’t answer, but the tears in her eyes spoke louder than words. “Oh God” Gabe said. He lifted his hand and hit his oldest daughter. Kelsey gasped and touched her cheek, looking shocked at her father. “Didn’t I tell you to be careful? Didn’t I tell you to stay out of trouble?” he asked, grabbing and shaking her. “Dad, please, don’t” Kelsey cried. “Gabe, let go of her” Rachel demanded and Gabe let go. “Pack your bags” “What?” Kelsey said confused. “Pack your bags” Gabe repeated. “You’re leaving” “What?” Kelsey exclaimed. “Gabe, come on, don’t be ridiculous” Rachel tried to bring reason to her husband.
“You can’t do this” Kelsey said upset.
“Watch me” Gabe said. He grabbed Kelsey the way he’d done with Amber, but Kelsey jerked her arm. “I can walk myself” she snapped and she ran upstairs, passing Amber who had clearly eavesdropped their fight. Amber got up as Kelsey walked into her room. “You hit someone?” she asked, eager for details, but Kelsey slammed the door in her face. “Oh come on, I always have to tell you everything” Amber complained. The door went back open and Kelsey came outside with her suitcase. She walked passed Amber and ran downstairs. She grabbed her coat and opened the front door.
“Kelsey, please stay here” Rachel begged. Kelsey turned around. “I thought you’d support me, but you two are a pathetic excuse for parents”
That being said she walked outside and walked away.

I tried to be differnt, and it worked.
All my life I have always blended into the atmosphere and the people around me. I was nothing special. I was ordinary.
My chance to be different and my chance to be free came with a cost... one I was sure I was willing to take.
"Turn away from the past, and follow me." were the words I recieved.
"Do you want to be different?" He asked me, and of course what sliped out of my mouth was a simple,
"Yes." But was I going to follow through with what he had in store for me?

Daphne took his hand. “I don’t want to lose you. You have to stay with me forever” she insisted.
Cas nodded, not really considering what she was saying.
“Emmanuel, I want you to make me your wife” Daphne said breathless.
Zoey and Shannen were sitting at the kitchen table in Zoey’s house. “I’m glad you came” Zoey said.“
Yeah, sure” Shannen said. “I meant what I said. I’ll do what I can to help you”
“Thank you” Zoey said. “I really don’t trust Emmanuel, but I promised Daphne I’d give him the benefit of the doubt”
“I get it” Shannen said. “What do you want me to do?”
“I want you to follow him, take pictures of him, maybe even film him” Zoey said.
“I don’t think that’s legal”” Shannen said careful.
“If he hurts my daughter it won’t be legal, either” Zoey snapped and Shannen cringed.
“All right, I’ll do it” Shannen agreed reluctantly.

“What do you mean, she’s gone?”
Cas and Zoey had been told that Daphne was gone.
“She’s not in her room. But we’re searching the entire building and the neighborhood. She can’t get far” the head doctor said.
“How could this happen?” Zoey asked mad. “Don’t you have some kind of security system here?”
“She stole a badge. She didn’t have to break into the system. She could just open the door” the doctor explained.
“And who’s the idiot who let her steal his badge?” Zoey asked demeaning.
“He’s waiting in my office” the doctor answered. “He already told me what happened. Listen, Mrs. Moore, Daphne can’t get far. We’ll find her by the end of the night”
He walked away from them; he had to go fire the nurse.
Zoey looked at Cas. “We need to find her” she said, slightly panicking.
