Anna's P.O.V.

"Annie!" Bella cried, tears streaming down her small cheeks.

The door shook violently as Charlie pounded on it. "GIRL, YOU GET OUT HERE! YOU HEAR ME! IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR IN THE NEXT 10 SECONDS, I SWEAR…" He bellowed not finishing his treat. He was drunk. He was mad. He was dangerous. And there was no stopping him.

I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment, trying to escape from my surroundings to go somewhere quite to think. But it hardly worked for only a moment as I was thrown back into the present by a violent shudder tearing thought me. My hands shook with anger and fear.

"Annie!" Bella screamed again. I looked over at her. She was huddled in the far corner of the room; gratefully Charlie hadn't gotten his hands on her small 3-year-old body. But the fear on her face tore at my hart. It was times like these where I whished Renée would have taken the daughter she loved. Her youngest daughter. Even if that meant I would still be left here. I could take a beating. But little Isabella couldn't.

Charlie pounded on the door again. "6!"

Making a snappy decision, I hurried to Bella and scooped her up. She threw her thin arms around my neck and hid her face in my shoulder. I kissed her hair as I opened the window quietly.

"Hold on tight, sweetie," I whispered in her ear as I dunked out the window onto the garage roof. The night was chilly, dark and wary. I jumped off the roof landing on my feet and took off towards the trees.

"GIRL!" I heard Charlie shout, but I didn't dare look back.

"Annie, look out!" Bella cried, pointing over my shoulder to the open window that Charlie was leaning out of……. holding one of his police guns.

"Bella, get down," I said, pulling her hand back and sliding her from my hip to my chest.

Suddenly there was a bang. I jumped and Bella screamed bloody murder. Only 2 seconds later did I feel the pain, blazing in my right arm. I looked over and thought the darkness I could see my long sleeved black t-shirt torn and dark red blood spreading down my arm. I winched and just kept running into the trees, Charlie shouting at me the whole way.

It seemed like hours of running dogging trees until Charlie's muffled shouts, went silent and the only sound was the dry leafs under my black and white loafers. My arm still burned with pain. It was a silver bullet and I could feel the silver spreading thought my blood stream. I felt weak and sick. Bella was whimpering because of the scary shadows of the trees.

"It's okay, Bells, its just trees. I'm here I won't let anything happen to you," I murmured softly, putting her on her feet.

She nodded trying to put on a brave face as she clutched my hand tightly. I closed my eyes again trying to figure out what to do next, every minute that past I felt more and more weak. Then I thought of a plan. I needed help. I needed one of the packs. I needed to change into a wolf.

I sat Bella next to one of the trees. "Stay here, honey." I said.

"Wait, Annie, where you going?" She asked, almost shirked as she reached desperately for my hand that I pulled back.

"I'll be right back, I promises," I said, and then kissed her forehead.

I stumbled about a mile away. With one last violent shudder I gasped and changed into a big light brown wolf.

'Please, be out there.' I begged in my mind. 'Your there when I don't want you. Be here when I do need you. Someone?'

'Anna, what's the matter?' It was a deep calm voice. It was Sam. Thought his eyes I could see he was only a couple miles off the reservation.

'Sam, I need you help," I said.

'Your hurt," he stated. 'What happened?'

'Charlie's drunk and angry. I have Bella with me but I can't get any farther than I'm already am.' I breathed. It was silent for a long time.

'I'll be there soon, Anna. Stay here you are. Stay as a wolf, too, try to heal.'

I shook my head, 'I can't stay as a wolf. Bella's already freaked out. I can't scare her any more.'

'Fine. Stay there." He said, sternly.

'-Oh- and, Sam?' I called.

'Yes?'

'Get Jacob, please. I need him.'

'I will. Be there in a few, Anna, honey.' Then Sam was gone. It wasn't odd for him to call me 'honey' or 'sweetie' all the boys in the pack did. I smiled, softly to myself knowing help was on the way. I changed back into a human, and then went to go find Bella.

When I got back to the tree I left Bella at I found the ground at the bottom of the trunk empty. Was I at the wrong tree? My mind stated to spin with questions and fear. Until I caught a sent that I wasn't used to but knew what it was…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Vampires.

Bella!
