Chapter 1

Again???

I ambled down the main streets. Where was the fun in life if you played it safe? And in my opinion sticking to the side streets while skipping school defiantly qualified as plying it safe. Now the question was, what was I to do. I had so many options but no choices.

I was mentally contemplating this fact when I heard a sudden shill of sirens. and what do you do if you're a teenage delinquent who's committing truancy, you run like the devils on your heels. Which is kind of ironic because in a way a devil was right on you heels. A devil who at the moment was in a very fast police car were as I was in flats, not the best running shoes. But instead of giving up like a good girl, letting the officers- whom I sure were perfectly nice people- take me 'downtown' and calling it a day, I gave chase.

I ran like my life depended on it. I ran for what seemed like forever until suddenly as I was passing a side street a car speed to a stop in front of me. I skidded to a halt. Prepared as I was to scream undignified words at the douche in the car, my mouth became glued shut when I saw who walked out of the car. And let me tell you it was a face I never wanted to see again in all the years I lived. A face that still stood out after all these years and still remained etched in my memory. It was a face that couldn't simply be tossed aside and forgotten like some damn etched sketch. No it was much worse.

The man stepped out from behind the drivers seat, as cocky as ever, lowered his dark shades to the brim of his square nose, looked me straight in the eye and said three words that shook me all the way to my inner core. "Hello again, Isabella."

Those three words hit me hard. Not again. No! I never wanted this to happen again. Prison was better than this. So that's exactly what I opted for. Prison. I turned quick on my heels and hightailed it the opposite direction, back the way I came, back to the fast approaching, wailing police cars. Just before I was out of reach thought I heard a cynical laughter that echoed off the walls of my head, taunting me. And just then I knew that I was caught.
