The Runaway

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Melissa's P.O.V.

I want to get out of here.

I want to be with my family, my real family.

I want to laugh and be with my best friend, Sophie.

I want to hug and be with my mate, Adrian.

I only hope that I will be found. That I will be saved. It's a dark scary place.

I was literally ripped out of my day dream by my "uncle" Jinx.

"You hungry?" He asks coming close to my cell.

I nod, "yes." I reply.

I'm obviously hungry since I was heading to lunch when they decided to take me. I've been here for hours, I don't know maybe days. It sure seems like a few days, they've kept me here for a very long time and all these people do are come down to my cell and beat me.

I bet I'm all bruised up and bloody, but I could care less because I've been hurt worse. I've been left unconscious and beaten to a point where I didn't recognize myself. Scratches and burns mark my skin to remember. All the horrid memories fill my mind, blood spilling out of my wounds, I'm pleading for him to stop. The darkness that I've come accustomed too.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts.

"Well, too bad. We aren't going to give you shit." He spits before opening the cell and walking towards me in long strides.

I back up in a corner and put my arms around myself. Once he's in front of me he bends down to my level and grabs a fistful of my hair. I wince at the pain and look at him.

"Aw, poor little Melissa thought she can run away. Too bad we always have our ways to find someone, most especially you." He taunts.

I want to punch him and hurt him to the extent of him being dead. I want him dead. I want my 'dad' dead. I want my 'mom' dead.

They weren't even my real parents and I stopped giving a shit about them many years ago when the beatings started. They can go fuck themselves for all I care.

"Let. Go. Of. My. Hair." I grit out, my teeth clenched.

He laughs, "Now why would I do that? You can't tell me what to do because your just a weak, slutty bitch." Then he sends a blow to my ribs and next a slap to the face.

Since he had a fitful of my hair he simply pulls me up and throws me to the other side of the cell. Let me tell you it hurt like a bitch.

Anger courses through my veins. I start shaking as all the anger I've been holding in starts to show. My eyes shift from its greenish/ blueish colour to a black with gold specks colour.

I look up at Jinx and see him starting at me with fear in his eyes. Why does he have that look?

I slowly stand up and stride slowly towards him.

I feel my hands get warm and look towards them and I see fire. Fire is shooting through my hands.

"Not so big are you now?" I sneer.

He backs up and his back hits the wall. He's trapped, perfect.

He's shaking with fear as I trap him.

"Not going to say anything? I thought you had a lot more to say, why so quiet now? Huh?"

I shoot fire to the ground near him.

"Think I'm still weak now?" I say as I shoot more fire at the ground.

He still doesn't answer.

"Ha! People always thinking I'm weak, but really you made me stronger. Without the pain I've been through I was never weak just simply becoming more and more strong and you know what?" I ask.

He shakes his head.

"I thank you guys for that."

Now he just looks really confused.

"If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be who I am now. I had suffered and WANTED TO DIE. MY PARENTS HATED ME AND BEAT ME. IF THEY WANTED TO HURT ME SO MUCH WHY NOT JUST KILL ME THEN, RIGHT?" My voice raised.

"Go to hell. " I said as he was swallowed up in the fire.

I walk away and out of the cell.

I'm finding my way out of here when someone appears. I haven't fed my vampire in a while, why not feed now?

As he sees me he's about to charge, but I run to him with un-human speed and tackle him to the ground. I feel my fangs come out and I put them against his neck. I drain all the blood out of him.

I get off of him and wipe the blood off my mouth. I continue walking and decide I should kill my bastard 'parents'.

I sniff their scent and follow it. Their scent leads me to a door. I open it and see that it's an office. I enter with a smirk on my face as I see they have their backs towards me.

"Miss me?" I ask. I see their backs tense and my smirk widens. They turn around and see me.

Shock is written in their faces.

"How did you get out?" Booms my 'dad', Nate. I just simply laughed and made a 'tsk' noise.

"I'm stronger than you think."

"How could've you possibly gotten out?" Asks my 'mom', Valerie.

"I have my ways." I smirked getting closer to them, "So so so many ways. I also have a lot of ways to how your death will come up to."

They back up.

"Good bye."

~_~ ~_~ ~_~ ~_~

I need to find my way to go back home. I don't even know where I am.

I took one of the cars that I saw on the parking space at the place where I was and drove away.

Now I'm at a gas station. I look around to find a pay phone and see one. I walk towards it and place in 25 cents before dialling Adrian.

After three rings he answers.

"Hello?"

"Adrian! Hey! It's Melissa." I hear shuffling in the background.

"Oh my god. Melissa your okay. Where are you?" He says with relief and concern.

"I'm not sure, but I'm at this gas station."

He asks which and I tell him. Before hanging up he says he knows where I am and to wait there for him.

I'm free.

Not just free from that cell, but free from those horrid people I called parents.

They will no longer hurt me.

She's out of the cell. Who would've thought she would escape that way? I bet mainly everyone thought Adrian and her family will be there to save her.

Not everyone needs a saviour because your the one who can save yourself the most.

Hope you enjoyed.
