Well here we have my first chapter of a Bones fan fiction. First of all I do not own Bones, I am just using their characters for my own entertainment. The only "people" that I own are Ari, her friends, and anyone you do not recognize.

"Bye guys, I'll text you as soon as I get home." Said Ari as she waved good-bye to Shelley and Kelly.

Walking in the dark street she started to get a bit of a chill, so she picked up her pace. "Just another block and I'm home." She repeated to herself as she walked in front of an alley, when suddenly a hand grabbed her and held her, while another muffled her screams. She started to squirm and bite the hand off her mouth. The person holding her yelped and released her, when dropped she started to run away, but the man grabbed her again and hit her head with what looked like a gun. Confused by the hit, the man picked her up and dragged her to a van in the back of the alley.

Ari was losing her consciousness, when she saw the man closing the van door and whispered "Mike".

He's not gonna notice that I took a piece of the bread, it'll be just a bit… Yeah just so my stomach stops making sounds. Plus Sir always complains about it so a bit of bread will be no problem.

Ari thought as she cut a piece of bread and ate it quickly, when she finished she turned around to finish cleaning, but she saw Sir looking at her.

SHIT! Ari thought. "Sir, I-I was just about t-to finish here", she said as her voice trembled. "Right and your stealing my food is part of cleaning?" He said as he slowly took his belt of. Ari slowly took a few steps back but bumped into the counter. "Please, Sir, I-I was hungry. Please don't punish me, p-please." She whimpered. "Please I-I'm sorry, I'll never do it again. Please no more." She started crying as he started to hit her with his belt.

"I should lock you up in the room again. It's so sad, I thought you had changed after our last lesson, or were you lying to me?" He said as he kept hitting her.

"No! Please not the room, I'm sorry! Please stop, I'll be good I promise!" Ari cried, while trying to get away from the belt. She felt many of her old wounds reopen and her back getting wet from all the blood from her wounds, old and new.

"You know what, I don't think you have learned your lesson." He said stopping the beating. "Come on, we're moving this to the room." He told her, while moving toward her.

"No! I'm not going back to t-that r-room!" Ari screamed getting up from the floor and taking the knife she used to cut the bread. "Don't get near me, don't touch me. GET AWAY!" She screamed, as he got closer.

"If you keep this up, you will not get out of that room unless I feel it! So drop the knife and come here, now!" He nearly screamed.

"No, I'm not going there to get tortured by you." Ari cried as she positioned the knife in front of her.

"I said to stop this, NOW!" He screamed and advanced on her. He used one hand to hold the knife and the other to hit her with the belt again. Ari got scared and closed her eyes pushing the knife in front of her. Sir screamed and when she opened her eyes she saw the knife in his stomach. She was surprised by all the bleeding and had no idea what to do.

"Bitch! H-help me, or you will be in a world of pain as soon as I heal." Sir growled as he took the knife out. Ari got scared and ran out of the house with him following her. She heard a thump and stopped; when she looked back Sir was on the floor with a pool of blood around him, looking extremely pale and shivering. With no idea what to do, she started running and running until she started to get dizzy from her blood lost. She looked around and saw a gas station and decided to look around and borrow a couple of snacks, while she thought what to do. As she was leaving she saw the date in a newspaper and was shocked.

I have been with that bastard for a year… I'm seventeen and I never noticed, damn. I wonder if my aunt and uncle are okay, I mean I never arrived home. I should go looking for them and let them know that I'm okay… Well as okay as I can be. I should also get something for my back and shoulder and… Well for everything. With that she got out of the gas station with her home as a destination.

Her first week in the streets was hard, between trying not to flinch every time someone got to close, and taking care of the wounds she could reach. Ari knew that unless she finds her way in two or three days her wounds were going to get infected and fast. A couple of hours later, she finally arrived to her house and went to knock on it excited to see her family, but the persons living there were not her aunt and uncle.

"E-excuse me, w-what happened to the family that lived here before you?" Ari asked a bit scared by the man in front of her.

"Well the lad that lived here sold the house when his parents died and we bought it. Why?" He asked a bit wary.

"Um… It's just that… They… um… They were my aunt and uncle. You said they died? Do you know how long ago?" Ari asked.

"Well it was almost a year ago, I think." Answered the man.

"Oh, well thanks anyways… Do you by any chance know where their son lives?"

"Actually, yeah he gave me his address in case we got his mail."

"Can I please have a copy? I-I would like to s-see him, p-please?" She said while holding her tears at bay, not that she was doing such a good job.

"I guess I could give it to you… Hold a moment while my wife looks for it." He went inside the house "Marie could you look for the kids address, that young man that lived here before us. It's the counter, yeah under the keys." He came back outside and gave her a piece of paper. "Here's his address, do you want anything else?" He said looking at me with a suspicious look.

"N-no, thank you." Ari said as she took the paper and walked away. She walked to the park and started to feel nauseous. She felt her forehead and noticed that it felt a bit hot for her. "Shit, I cannot get sick now!" She told herself as she leaned into a tree. Well let's see were my dear cousin is living, maybe he can help me get better. Last time I checked he was getting his doctorate I think in psychology. It's worth a try.

Ari looked at the address and thought that's not far from here if I get like forty bucks I think I can get to his apartment without much problem. I just hope my wounds don't reopen again; I really don't want to explain it.

After two hours she got thirty-five dollars and hailed a cab, a bit of hassle later the cab left her a block away from Lance's apartment. Feeling lightheaded she put a hand against a wall and took some deep breaths, Ari decided to take it one step at a time or she was sure she was going to end on the floor, out cold. After half an hour getting up the stairs, trying to keep the little that she ate inside her body, she finally made it to the apartment.

Taking a big breath she knocked on the door, while trying not to faint in front of the door.
