Chapter 1
This is the new and improved version of my story The Iron Cages. Enjoy.
I hear someone walking towards me and I feel a hand touch my shoulder and I jerk back as a flashbacks flash before my eyes, a man named James was hitting and kicking me for no reason apart from because he enjoyed it, his wife Victoria who was starving me even though she was given plenty of money for my care by the state and Laurent who would choke me just to see how long it would take me to pass out. I screamed and cry, while trying to jerk the hand from my shoulder "Don't touch me, please I won't do anything bad, I promise I'll be good, please NO." I hear some voices just as I black out.
BEEP…BEEP…BEEP...BEEP
What the heck, what is that beeping noise its so annoying. I open my eyes and see a lady towering over me as she smiles "Bella I'm Renee your new case worker. I have found a family who is planning on adopting you. Isn't that grea" I interrupted her with glare "So I don't even get choice with who you are sending me home with and let me guess, they are a nice couple, who will love me like I'm there own child, just like my old case worker said." I laugh bitterly she flinched at my tone of voice "Bella they really are nice people, they have adopted kids before and we have talked to them and they would love to have you." I just sign, no one will know what it was like to go thru what I did but me, I think they are all lying to me and just looking to get rid off me. "Okay but I better get my own room, I don't feel comfortable sharing." She nodded and jot that done "Well they have a big house with three floors, I was told that you will be on the third floor as there is only three rooms up there. The couple have 5 other kids and one of their son's room will be on the third floor with you." I nod and look out the window. "Oh and Bella, we told them what happened at you previous foster homes, so they know what you have been thru, apparently one of the kids went thru something similar and like you he won't let people touch him and barley speaks." Oh well I guess may someone knows what I have been thru after all; I just nod and go back look to looking out the window.
The next day
I grab my headphones and turned music on as I packed up all me belongings, once I was done that, I walked to the car Renee was sitting in, she smiled at me then started the car. I looked outside, it was raining I liked the rain it soothes me. I wonder what the Cullen's will be like, probably like James and Victoria or even Laurent, I shivers and kept looking out the window at the world wondering what it would be like if I was normal had parents that wanted me.
.
I heard a knock at my door but I ignored it, then Esme came in with a plate of food "Here Edward I brought you dinner." I looked at her and nodded "Thanks." She smiled "Oh Bella the girl we are adopting is coming tomorrow, she will have the room next to yours." I just nod as she left, they all knew I liked to be left alone, the first time I came here a girl named Alice touched me and I freaked out as I saw flashes of Billy and Sarah beating me and there son Jacob touching me. Thankfully I got away from him in time, he was always weird around me. I shudder I hate Alice she is annoying and always trying to put me in clothes that I just don't like, with it being either the style or have colors that I hate so much. I hate all colors but black and red. I hear the door bang open; speak of the devil "Hey Edward I have some clothes that will look good on you." I just look at her "Alice I am not your doll, now go away." She pouts "Come on, they will look good on you." She moves forward and I move back "Don't touch me Alice." But she just ignores me and grabs me, I see Billy beating me and I scream and cry I try to open my eyes but I cant, I hear "Alice what have we told you." "But he wouldn't let me dress him." I try to calm down but can't "Please no please, I won't ever do it again." I felt more hands on me, and try to jerk away from the touches. "Shhh Edward it's okay." I shook my head "Nothing is okay." I fell back on my bed and fell asleep some how I knew it was a bad idea.
So we learn about Bella and Edward. What will happen when they meet? This will most be in Edwards POV I will have a chapter that has all of Bella's POV at the end of this story.
