Chapter 1

EmilyPOV

I quickly placed Sam's dinner into the oven and put it on a low heat. Same was my husband, and I used to love him, I think. When I met him, he was a nice man, very friendly, but since we were married, he became violent. If I did anything wrong, he would beat me and lock me in a room until the next morning. I couldn't leave him, last time I tried, I ended up with a scar on my face where he had punished me for it.

I looked at the clock on the wall. Sam would be home in 2 hours. The house needed food supplies so I would have to go out to the local foods store. I debated with myself before grabbing my jacket and purse and headed out the door to the old pick-up truck in the drive. I got in and started the old engine. I pulled out of the drive and headed towards the store. There was a little voice in my head telling me to turn around and go back home before Sam got back. I tried ignoring it. I felt free. This feeling was are and I wasn't going to waste it. I pulled up and headed towards the big shop.

I raced around the aisles, collecting the items I needed. I went to the checkout and paid for it as quickly as I could. On my drive back, there was a little nagging sort of feeling telling me something bad was going to happen. I didn't know what time it was, so I wouldn't know if Sam was back. I tried driving home as fast as I could. I wasn't fast enough.

Sam's car was in the trucks previous place. I could feel myself starting to hyperventilate. I slowly calmed myself down and grabbed the 2 shopping bags next to me. I walked into the house and straight into the kitchen. Sam was leaning against the kitchen counter, looking out of the window. I walked over to the table and put the groceries down. Sam didn't move.

"Where were you?" He asked, trying hard to remain calm.

"I-I was at t-the shop" I said, fear creeping into my voice.

"Are you sure? Seems to me like you were trying to escape! But you thought better of it" He said, the calm façade gona altogether and his voice just pure anger.

"No Sam!" I said, a little too quickly. He pushed me hard until I fell into the wall beside me.

"I work my butt off all day and all I ask for is a nice meal when I get back, but you cant even do that!" He said, sweeping his legs under mine, causing me to fall backwards. I felt my head smash off the hard ground and I could feel the gash in my head where it had come into contact with the ground.

"Worthless piece of crap" He said, before spitting on me and walking out into the back garden. I already felt too weak when I saw the silver cell phone on the kitchen worktop. I heaved myself up and grabbed it before falling back to my previous position.

I knew who I was going to call. I punched in the numbers and pressed call.

"Hello?" the voice said.

"Is this Charlie?" I asked.

"Yes. Who is this?""Charlie! Oh Charlie, its me Emily, please come and help me!" I said, my breathing getting harder and harder.

"Calm down Emily. Now tell me what's going on?" He said calmly.

"Its Sam…he's…going to…kill me. Please…help…" I said, my eyes felt very heavy, and my breathing was irregular.

"Emily? Emily! Hold on! We're on our way!" He said, and the phone went dead.

"Thank…you…" I said to no-one. The phone slipped away from my hand, and so did my consciousness.

SamPOV

"Worthless piece of crap" I said, spitting on her and walking out into the back garden and started pacing back and forth. What was even the point in her being around. She didn't do anything! She was just a lazy old bag. She deserved everything that came to her. All I ask is for dinner on the table when I come back, and she can't even do that!

I stopped pacing and went back into the house. Emily lay on the ground in the corner. There was a lot of blood on her, and she was laying in a lot too. As I looked at her, the silver phone by her hand caught my eye. I knelt beside her and picked up the phone to see who had been the last caller. Charlie…I know that name. Suddenly it hit me, Charlie Swan, the Chief of police. She called the cops on me! I checked her pulse, none. She was gone. Now Charlie is gona throw me in jail for murder! I stood up, panicked. I stood there, wondering what to do. Right on cue, I could hear the sirens pulling onto our street. I ran to the living room and checked out the window. Just then, 2, maybe 3, police cars pulled up and a dozen police officers jumped out and headed towards the front door. I saw Charlie get out and wave his hands towards the front door. I ran back through the house and as I ran out back, I heard the door being kicked down and footsteps in the hallway. I ran through the garden and hopped the back fence and into the surrounding trees. Behind me I could hear footsteps, and dogs barking. He set the dogs on me! I could feel myself getting slower and slower.

Suddenly I felt the cops pile on top of me as I struggled on the ground. The cuffs went around my wrists and I stopped fighting against them. I was caught, and Charlie was going to pay for it. He walked beside the police officer restraining my hands behind my back.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you do or say will be held against you in the court of law" I blanked him out as I came up with my revenge plan. I got it! I need to get re-acquainted with some old friends…
