This is my first try at a fanfiction so please don't hate too much. Please give feedback on how I can improve.
"Ella get up!" My mom yells loud enough so the neighbors can hear. I force my legs to move and swing myself off the bed. My little sister is sound asleep.
"Marley. Time to get up." I shake her gently.
"One more minute please!" Her pillow is like her cocoon; she never leaves it.
I look down and realize that I slept in my clothes again. I decide to just leave them on. My legs and arms ache and I can taste blood in my mouth. I don't even know how I got this cut. I gaze over at the light peaking through the heavy drapes, I wish I could open them but mom says it's not safe. Today I start a new school; the third in 8 months. I leave my sister to sleep; let mom deal with her. I empty the textbooks from my last school into the trash and grab my backpack. The stairs creak loudly as I walk down. The kitchen looks as dirty and crammed as usual. My mom sits at the table buttering toast.
"You're going to that new school today. What's the principle's name again?" My mom couldn't care less if I went to school.
"Mr. Daimen." Of all the schools I've been to my mom has never met a teacher. Luckily the teachers wouldn't care if I lived in a volcano and was mauled by a wolf each night as long as I went to school.
"Ok well anyway if he wants to meet with me you'll tell him that I can't? And you will not tell any of your friends anything?" My mom goes through this with every new school.
"Don't worry. Bye." I run outside the door.
I feel as if I was a slave who had been on a ship for 20 days. It feels so good to have the sun on my face and the birds chirping in my ears. The pavement may be cracked and hard but it feels more like home than my own bedroom.
I walk along the street while balancing on the edge of the sidewalk. I used to do this a lot when I was little. Strange I know the memory but I can't feel myself in it. A man running past me at superhuman speed causing me to lose my balance and fall face first on the ground suddenly interrupts my train of thought. Great, more blood. Another man runs after him but stops to yank me up. He wears a long coat and has a smile that could light up a planet.
"You may want to go the other way Miss." Is all he manages to say before continuing to run. I don't know why but I run after him. Why am I doing this? I don't know him, and that gun could be dangerous. But yet, I run without a second thought.
He runs into the park rushing through the swings and dodging little kids. I am not so graceful. I run over a kid and fall onto the swings. Someone picks me up. I turn to look and see that it's the man who was being chased. His teeth are sharp as fangs and they bite into my neck. Pain spreads through my body so quickly that I cannot move a muscle without screeching. Suddenly I am dropped and the long coat man stands above me. I look beside me and the fanged man is dead.
"You killed him!"
"Yes I did. Now I'm going to give you this needle, which will help with the poison. You'll need to come to my lab to be fully cured though." The needle pokes into my skin and I am immediately relieved.
"No way am I coming with you. I don't even know you!" I try to get up but my body is too weak. He holds me down with one hand gently placed on my chest. His eyes look so sad; they are filled with so much pain.
"Sorry but you have no choice. That needle also has a sleeping pill in it so you won't cause any trouble. I'll just bring you to my lab to get the needle and I'll bring you home." I should feel scared of him but I'm not. I can slowly feel myself slipping out of consciousness.
"Who are you?" Are the last words I utter.
"Captain Jack Harkness." I blank out.
