As I opened the door I could hear weird sounds coming from the living room. I walked down the hall and stood in the living room door way. It is too dark to see anything so I turned on the lights and gapped at what I see.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted as I saw my brother and a girl from my class almost having sex.

The both looked shocked and the girl quickly grabbed her shirt and ran out the door. I growled and Aledo looked pissed too.

"What the hell was that?" I hissed as Aledo casually put on his shirt.

"Me and her kissing," he said like it was nothing.

"No it was you and her almost having sex," I hissed the last part. Aledo looked up and growled.

"I should ask you why you are coming home this late," he countered and I faltered in my glare.

"Well at least I am still pure. And I haven't gone that far in my feedings," I growled and Aledo looked more than pissed. He looked livid.

"I am fucking twenty and I have to fucking baby sit you," he snarled and I whimpered.

"Don't you fucking whimper! You go out with your fucking friend's every night and I wait every night to make sure that you are ok. I don't get any thanks or acknowledgements. I can see why Mom and Dad left us! It is because of you! You had to make a big fuss of being under their roof and their rules. Now we are living on our own without any parents. They don't even come by to see that we still exist! It is all because of YOU!" Aledo shouted and I felt the tears spring up in my eyes. Aledo never ever shouted at me like this before. Then he walked over and slapped me. It hurt badly.

"Fine if you don't have to baby sit me any longer because I am leaving!" I shouted letting the tears fall. I ran up the stairs clutching my cheek to my room and locked the door. I grabbed a large duffle bag and started to stuff all of my clothes in there. I grabbed my blanket it was the last present I got from my parents before they left. I stuffed all of my stuff in the duffle bag and grabbed my pictures of my friends and a picture of my family and I. Looking around my room for the last time I saw a little sheet of paper. I took it and opened the window. I could hear my brother stomping up the stairs to go to his room. I jumped out of the window and landed in the tree across from my window. I let out my wings and flew out of the tree.

I had no idea where I am going but I know it is going to be far away from my brother as possible. I flew to Hex's house and saw that his whole family is home. It is a rare day for him. His mother is an elf that travels the world and looking for evil Fae creatures. His dad tries to be human and joined the war. He is an elf too. I sigh. I fly to Death's Forest and settle in a large oak tree. I lay my duffel bag as a pillow and I take out my blanket. I fall asleep into the peaceful blackness.

I woke up to the annoying chirps of a blue jay. I groaned and hopped out of the tree. I could feel the sting of the hit on my cheek. I searched in my duffle bag for a new pair of clothes and some soap. I was going to wash myself in the river. I groaned and peeled off my dirty clothes. I put a toe in the water and it is freezing. Sighing I ran and jumped in. I started to wash my body before I went into shock. I finished and got out dried myself. I did my best to fix my hair and makeup in the water but I had a feeling that I looked like a drunk that stayed up all night. I hid my bag in a tree and made sure that no animals would do anything to it. Once I am satisfied I head off in the direction of school.

I made it look like I walked out of someone's house just so people wouldn't be suspicious of me coming out of Death's Forest. I walked down the street and saw that Hex and the gang were waiting for me on the other side. I groaned and quickly walked across.

"Hey," I said once I got close enough to them. I kept my head down so that no one will see my eyes or face.

"So what happened with your brother, and why were you on the other side of the street?" Hex asked as we walked to the school.

"Nothing…and I must still be tired from last night," I said quickly trying to hide my face with my hair.

"Alalia, look at me," He said and I growled. I kept my head turned away. We walked up the parking lot to the school in utter silence. Then I saw Aledo standing at the door way.

"Shit," I muttered and Hex looked at me.

"Why is your brother here?" Hex asked and everyone looked at me. I groaned and lifted my face. They all gasped and I saw Hex look ready to explode. I groaned.

"Hex calm down…we had a argument and I left. I spent the night at Death's Forest," I said quickly hoping that no one would catch the Death's Forest part but Jande had to be nosy.

"DEATH'S FOREST! You know that none of us are allowed to be there alone," he whispered and I cringed.

"What else did you expect me to do!" I hissed and they all looked down.

"You could of stayed with me," Hex said and I looked up at him. He looked pissed and sad at the same time.

"Your mom and dad were back and I knew that you wanted some time alone with them," I said and Hex just nodded his head. I could hear steps coming closer.

"Alalia, come here," my brother called out about five feet away. I shook my head and closed my eyes. I could hear Aledo growl and take a step closer. Then a big slam and I opened my eyes to see Hex, Jande, Kambl and Lelm tackling my brother down and talking in his ear with angry whispers.

"Ali! Oh we are so sorry!" Torie said and hugged me. Rain, Cyril, and Atria all hugged me too. I started to feel tears streaking my face.

"Ali…your brother is gone," Hex said and I wiggled out of their grip and walked over to Hex. He looks really grim.

"Thank you," I whisper and Hex pulls me in a hug.

"I promise you that he will never touch you again. You will be staying with me from now on. If you want we can all skip today and we can just hangout," Hex said and let me go. I smiled and felt the tears rise again. Aledo isn't my family. My friends are. I nod my head.

"That would be nice," I said and we all walked out of the school parking lot as the bell rang.

We all laughed and started to joke around. I felt safe again.

Kinda short but still holds a lot of information…well kinda…but still I promise in a few chapters things will start to happen! So review and give me ideas on what to write! Pleases and thanks!
