Hey guys! I'm new to writing fanfiction (which would explain my poor detail and grammar, please forgive that! I'll get better, promise!) so please be gentle. Please review my story and feel free to leave suggestions, those would be much appreciated since I am a beginner at this. I'll keep writing if you guys like it and review.

I don't own Twilight.

"Stop it, STOP it, please!" I yelled at my stepfather as his fist landed another blow to my head. My stepfather was high on drugs or alcohol (or a combination of both) , as usual and I, as usual, was powerless against him. He attacked me almost on a daily basis and when he was really out of it, he'd rape me. Where was my mother? Well, she was passed out on the couch after having too much to drink.

"Shut up Michelle, you're giving me a headache," my mom moaned out. She continued watching Joe, my stepfather, hit me with no end in sight. She never once tried stopping him. She loved this man more than she loved me, the daughter she gave birth to 16 years ago.

All this time, I kept thinking of how I wanted to die. After 6 years of agonizing torture that started when I was 10, this was the final straw. I fell in and out of consciousness when I suddenly felt myself being dragged by my hair to my room. I knew where this was going. I was thrown on my bed as Joe ripped my clothes off of my body and threw them in the corner. His clothes landed next to mine in a matter of seconds and before I could yell out, he covered my mouth with duct tape and had his way with me.

I begged for mercy as he raped me. I kicked and kicked until I felt o more energy in my body. Tears came to my eyes and down my face as this all went on. When it was over, I felt him pick me up and throw me in his pickup truck.

"Please just kill me, kill me please," I said as he carried me to his car. We must have driven around for close to an hour, until we reached what seemed to be a forest. He gave me a couple more punches to the head and kicked me all over before he threw me out of the car and sped away.

I don't know what I did to deserve this. I was the top of my class at school, I obeyed every single order that my "parents" gave me (because if I didn't obey them, I was in for a world of pain) yet my so called parents left me out here to die.

"Help me, someone please help me," I whispered as I slowly drifted to sleep. I was awakened hours later when I heard the rustling of leaves and faint noises. I opened my eyes and saw two men hovering over me. Both were tall, although one was taller, one had blonde hair and the other had brown hair. They both were built big and extremely pale and seemed to have red eyes, although in my condition, I wasn't quite sure.

Demetri POV

"Do you smell that Felix, there is a human nearby," I turned to him and noticed that he was still sucking another human dry. When the blood was completely drained from the body, he got up and fixed himself.

"Lets go," he said, "it smells delicious but we must hurry as Aro and the other are expecting us soon." I nodded in agreement and we ran off to find the source of the scent. The scent was strong which allowed us to track the source down quickly. I saw the girl laying in the leafs half naked, badly bruised and beaten. Blood was dripping from her head as I lifted her off the ground. She moved slightly but did not open her eyes. Usually, I was quick to drink from a human this delicious but this human was different than others we have ever encountered. The moment I picked her up, I felt something, almost like a connection to her. I couldn't let her die.

"What are you doing?" Felix looked at me in confusion, trying to analyze my intentions. "Kill her already and lets go, you know how the masters get when we are late."

"I can't let her die," I said, "I'm taking her back to the masters at once. Something about this human is different and they surely would want to know why."

Felix didn't like the idea of taking back this human to Aro, Marcus, and Caius but he was powerless. We ran back to Volterra and burst through the doors of the palace until we reached the meeting hall.
