"I tried to run! He grabbed me by the leg and tried to kill me! Please help me." I cry to a police officer. "Who is this man?" She asked. "My father." I say. "Where do you live, we will take him into custody." The woman said. "1934 Birch wood drive." I say. She tells someone my situation and top lice officers run out the door. Someone escorts me into a room. "What is your name?" She asks. "Annie, Annie Cresta." I say with tears streaming down my face.
I'm brought to another room with a police officer waiting in it. "You will be staying with the Odair family. They should take good care of you. There is a boy two years older than you and a girl two years younger than you. There is also their parents. The boy is Finnick and the girl is Breeze." The man informs me. "Okay." I say. "When your father is in custody you can get your things and I'll take you down there." The man says. "Thank you so much." I say.
I'm not really looking forward to living with Finnick because he's jokers but at leas I will be away from my abusive father.
Right now pretty much everything hurts. Including my heart. My father killed my mother but I was too afraid of him so I didn't tell anyone but now I think I'll be safe so I tell the man. He is a police officer so I think its the right thing to do. "Did your father do anything else?" The officer asks. "He killed my mother. He told me not to tell anyone or else he would hurt me badly, so I didn't tell anyone." I say crying.
"That is very useful information, thank you for telling me this. I,promise you will be safe now." The officer says. I nod my head. Something comes in from the radio. "Mrs Cresta, we have him in custody. Would you like to Get your things?" The officer asks. I nod my head. "Let's go." He says. We leave and go to my house, well my old house. I go under the stairs and open up a door. I live under the stairs, kind of like Harry Potter, which happens to be my favorite books. I like to pretend I save the world from Lord Voldemort and stuff just because its one of the few things that make me happy.
i get my few things. I have the Harry Potter books and a time turner necklace like the one from Harry Potter. My mom gave me it for my birthday before she died. It's almost all I have left of herSpoon I've gathered my few outfits and we leave. I'm driven to the Odair family's house and they are waiting outside. I hang my head because I'm a little shy and I'm just not feeling right. I'm sad and depressed happy a little happy.
"Hello!" Mrs. Odair says to me hugging me. "Hi." I say so that you can barely hear me. I shake hands with the rest of them. I walk into their large house. They live right by the beach. They give me a tour of the house. They show me my room. It's huge. Probably 10 times the size of under the stairs. My jaw drops. "It's not that big." Breeze says. "It is if you've lived under the stairs for most of your life." I say. "Kind of like Harry Potter, minus the whole magic and hogwarts thing." Finnick says. "Yeah, kind of." I say. "Tomorrow we can go shopping if yo would like, I notice you don't have much." Mrs. Odair says. "That would be nice. Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Odair." I say.
