Summary: Emotionally neglected Bella wanted to start somewhere new, somewhere fresh... somewhere with sweltoring heat that rivals her family. So, why not Egypt? One, she would be far away from tempermental dogs, two, she meets a mysterious, but handsome, immagrant, and three, what's a vacation without a bit of the seasonal mating urge? Those are good enough reasons.

so, hope you enjoy, contact me if you would want to help out with the story- especialy if your native or even visited Africa or Egypt.. And there will be some fake backgrounds, so no flaming!


Tears blurred my eyes as I continued to shove clothes into my bag, lips trembling, and heart wavering with the decision I had to make. This was my last chance, and I knew it, if I waited until tomorrow night I would lose my nerve and continue being everyone's push over and scapegoat.

I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

I loved them to death, they were my family, but they.. They were special, always getting the attention that I never wanted, but with that attention, came the love and adoration of Billy and the other elders. Didn't I deserve just a tad bit of that? Something to at least show that I'm apart of the family, not an outsider?

I grabbed the wad of money I had saved up for the past year and a half, ever since the change started throughout the family, and it wasn't a whole lot for a lower middle class kid, but it would have to do. I quickly shoved it in my jeans, making sure it wouldn't fall out with the long journey ahead of me.

I glanced out of my cracked window, loathing the full moon that was out and showering the land with its light. I double checked my list, making sure I had all my necessities before glancing down at my rusty watch. Midnight in five minutes, and when that time came to the present I would have twenty minutes to get out before the next shift started and probably get caught in the act.

I took a deep breath and steadied my hammering heart.

This is what I had to do, I was too childish to mope in the corner, giving up, I was too cowardly to threaten them, the pack, my family, but I wasn't suicidal. I would take this time in my life to not kill myself, but make a different life for myself.

I heard a piercing howl that signaled the end of one patrol and glanced down at the one thing that was going to change everything. I smiled down at them, fiddling with the sides for a bit, careful not to crumple the small pieces of paper too much.

I made a grab for the strap of my bag and slung it over my shoulder, opening my window that I had recently greased so it didn't squeak as much, and slid down to the dirt and grassed forest floor. I quietly closed the window, looking in the small bedroom meant to be a closet, not a cage before looking up at the moon.

It glowed with warmth and acceptance.

I shoved the two wads of paper into my pockets and made a run for the border, to freedom, to a better life.
