Chapter 1

"Girls Wake Up!"

I can hear my best friends dad yell at us. Just another day in paradise. Fallin' asleep at 2:30 and wakin up at 9:30.

Why do I put myself through all this? I dont know.

Oh wait. Yes I do.

Its that magnificent guy down the hall that-

"I wanna see eyeballs ladies!"

All three of us open our eyes to look straight at the door as a late 40's man with grey beard that goes not to far from his face and black eyes that peirce into your soul walks in. His sagged skin from working to hard causes bags under his eyes. 

"We are up. I'll get them ready." I say kindly.

"Thank you Princess."

He leaves through the room and I plop right back down onto my bed. Well its just really a matress they keep in the room for me.

Not much more than I need though. I just need to make sure he's here at all times. Safety is my number one priority.

...Unfortunaly this family thinks I like him.

Haha thats just so cute.

I get up and wake Journey up but not Delaney. She never wakes up when asked to. She rebels to much. WAKING UP IS NOT THE END OF YOUR LIFE DELANEY!

"Jo, wake up."

She throws a pillow at me and groans. She gets up and grabs some clothes. I grab my clothes and walk towards the closet, as she walks out to the bathroom for a shower.

Her brown hair refuses to get dirty, as long as it is, even here in England.

"Mum!"

Baliey yells from the room next to us. She's four years younger than us and quite obnotious. Being in the girls hallway is hard enough, but mum and dads room is right next to us as well.

I change into my clothes as Journey takes her shower. I throw on some ripped grey jeans and a white crop top with black socks.

 I dash on some mascara and cover up to look like every normal teenage girl even through I dont really need cover up.

I am not leaving the house today, i decide.

Not that I have a choice half the time. I always have to be by him. If he's not safe, gods know what will happen to me.

 I glare at the cross in the room. I was raised to believe in Greek gods, so thats what I believe. I've never been the girl into tea time and crumpets for a snack. I've been raised on whatever you can find in the fridge.

I walk to the end of the hall and walk downstair to see Tommy Mary and Sam sitting in the dining room. I walk into the living room and see Jacob and Josh sitting there playing a game.

*Beep Beep*

I click the answer button on the  phone that was placed in my hand. Thank the gods its flat and no one knows its there. Its always on vibrate and only I can feel it. I run into the bathroom and put my hand to my ear.

"What." I snarl into the phone.

"Check the alley."

*Click*

Why the alley? No ones been seen in the alley since the old man died. Said it was a legend that he'd follow you but, then again, it was a legend.

 I walk calmly to the alley and look around. I see an old man walking down the alley calmly. I hide behind some trash cans and watch. The old man puts his hand up and starts talking.

"Shes always here, we cant take the boy... Not Sir your underestimating m- No!... Fine. I'll get him myself."

I jumped out and tackled the man to the floor. I cover him mouth and wait for the threat to be eliminated.

I may look small, but I'm the strongest person in my old training class.

The man thrashed and thrashed but didnt have the strength to stop me. I eliminated him as fast as he would eliminate Jake.

Out of the corner of my eye I spot some curls running down the street, rounding the corner.

Oh well.

The world doesn't remember me for who I was, only who I am. A teenage runaway in a catholic family.

I get up and brush my hands on my pants and go inside to find Josh, Bailey, Sam, Delaney, Mary, and the oldest Tommy to be held with guns by their head.

Wait.

Journey.

I told Journey to always have a gun ready, and now I'm glad I taught her to use it.

I smile, pull out my gun, and prepare for a fight.
