Anna's point of view
I sat in the office staring at my sneakers. I saw my adoptive parents walk in Carlisle had his arms crossed over his chest his lips in a thin line and Esme eyes were sad. I knew they were disappointed in me and I felt terrible and tears gathered in my eyes. I felt Carlisle's hand on my shoulder roughly and I flinched reminded of my mother and her boyfriend. The only one in my adoptive family that knew about it was Edward because he was always snooping around in my mind. And I wondered if he was going to punish me like he did the other kids. 'Its time to go Anna' Carlisle said and I knew I would get punished this wasn't of course my first fight nor the first time they had to come down here. Carlisle led Esme and I out to the cars Esme has a mini van she had drove here and Carlisle had driven his Mercedes. Esme had her arm wrapped around my shoulders led me to the van. And I was relieved that she would be driving me back to their house. 'Esme I think Anna should ride home with me' I tensed and my heart sped up and my palms got sweaty I was scared out of my mind of Carlisle. I knew he was caring and was suppose to be my father figure but I had been told of what he has done in the past to the boys and some times the girls to punish them. 'ok dear I will follow you back to the house' Esme said releasing me I went over to the Mercedes and got in. a few minutes later he got in 'Anna' he began and I bunched up my legs and put my hands over my ears and began humming trying to block him out. He put his hand on me and I jumped tears fell down my cheeks. 'What's wrong Anna' he whispered 'I'm so sorry' I blubbered 'please please don't hit me I'm so sorry ill do anything but please don't hit me like you do the other kids'. His face fell and he pulled over 'Anna' he sighed and ran a hand through his blond hair. 'why dear would you even think I would hit you' I swallowed and wiped at my eyes then spoke 'the other kids tttold…me about how if they some times got in trouble you would hit them and how some times they would take a while to feel better'. I finished and a fresh wave of tears came up as I wiped them away Carlisle spoke. 'Anna sweetheart I would never hurt you you have to understand when I spanked the kids it was because they would do something that deserved punishment I never ever have spanked the children without a reason and remember there are vampires they can take stuff a little better than humans'. 'Yeah I some times forget you're a uh…'. I trailed off still not exactly able to say there true nature I saw Carlisle grin out of the corner of my eye then say the word I hadn't been able to get out. 'Vampires Anna its ok to say that' I smiled he then put the car in drive and continued on the house when he pulled into the drive way I saw a car. And on the front porch was Esme and some one else she smiled and waved as I got out of the car. grabbing my messenger bag putting it on the other side of my body letting my bag hang at my hip and walked up to a woman I knew well…my mother.
