Chapter One: Hiding

She under her bed, trying hard as she could not to hear the raised voices down the hall, or the sound of her Step-Father's fist colliding with her Mother's face. Sadly for her this had become routine for them, the violence, the pain and the fear and she had really begun to hate it.

"Warren, please stop" her Mother, Sharon yelled which was followed by a terrifying, blood curdling scream, she held her breath as the sound of a gunshot rung through the house, her heart skipped a beat, before it began to thud painfully against her chest, she felt tears roll down her cheeks. Her relationship with her Mom had sucked big time, she held a lot of anger and hatred towards her for marrying Warren, for letting him hurt them both, but she didn't want her dead, not really.

She hear Warren leave but knowing him, once he'd sobered up, he'd be back for her, now she had to decide, did she want him to off her to, or was she willing to save herself. Fear won out and she crawled out from under her bed. She grabbed her bag; she shoved some clothes, money, iPod, photo album and some jewellery into it. She picked it up, grabbed her laptop bag and cell phone and got out of there as quickly as she could, careful not to look at her now dead mother.

Once she got as far from the house as possible she took her cell out and flipped through the contacts, she came to a number that she had never rung before now, her Mom had given it to her a couple of months ago and said if anything ever happened, if she was ever in any trouble to ring that number and she'd be okay.

The phone rang a couple of times before a gruff voice answered "Gibbs."
