Seth pulled me onto his hand was doing soothing circles around my back."What happened to you Amelia?" He asked me in a pained voice. He used my real name 'Amelia' in serious situations like the past year or so, I have been having these… Weird nightmares of a man with jet black hair, and ferocious, piercing blue eye's that could stare you always seemed like it was real. I always told mom and dad, they always said "Honey, there just dreams, go back to bed" But I could always see something that dwelled within there eye's. Uncertainty, worry, pain,. And they would take a look at each other both receiving a look from each other that told me "She is starting to remember" It's true, you can judge a person by the looks they it's a compassionate look to a ferocious look of evilness."Amelia?" Seth said once again as I never did respond to his question. His voice was strand with pain still. "What happened?" He added once again. I could tell that he didn't want to pressure me into telling him. "You can tell me when your ready?" He said looking did this burdened memory have to reappear in my life now? When things where going so, so some points I wondered why my parents were so protective, why they made me learn how to fight.

One point in time I wanted to quit, only till dad started yelling at me saying "No Amelia! Your not quitting. You should learn this, you don't want to be a victim aga- At all" He said quickly reopposing himself after saying 'aga-'I looked down, the scar that has been there ever since I can remember. That was proof of what happened to me when I was the little daredevil of a child. I always wondered why I could do something usually without being scared. It was because I have been through something far worse than most other children. Something a child shouldn't have to face."When I was four years old.." I started. I got Seth's undivided attention. He always did wonder what that scare was on my arm. I always responded with 'don't know'."My mum and dad were having an argument in the car park of some restaurant. I wandered away, after hearing and seeing a black cat. I was curious as to where it was going. It was like it was leading me straight to my demolish. It ended up going toward an alleyway. There was smoke in there. And some guy was standing over an old man. And me being the daredevil I was started screaming and shouting at him to stop. I started running toward them, kicking feebly at the mans leg's. He stopped hurting the man, only to come onto me. He pushed me and.." I had to stop wincing when the images happened to come into my head."Shh" Said Seth in an agonized voice. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to" His voice now hard with anger."I want too" I said looking down. Pools of tears flooding down on me and Seth. "He grabbed a knife out of his pocket. He started doing these weird deceptive tricks.

" Like flinging it up into the air, and catching it with the tips of his fingers. He started saying 'This is going to be fun' in a thick evil voice… I asked him what he wanted, his reply was 'you' he told me I wasn't getting away.. He told me he wasn't finished with me. Than he got the knife.. It was blunt.. He pressed it into my skin, leaving a deep gash.. He laughed as I squealed and squeaked at the pain. He was enjoying it. He enjoyed my pain." I could feel Seth shaking from under me. I placed my shaking hand on his face, wanting nothing than to calm him down…He calmed down after me touching his face."I'm sorry" He said sadly."For what, you did nothing wrong?""For not being there, for nearly phasing on you. For -"I cut him off "There was nothing you could of done Seth. You were on four years old yourself." I said looking up at him. His jaw was clenched, he was looking at the sky above. I've never seen him look so.. So.. Murderous.I put my head on his chest. The sudden movement caught Seth's attention. As his eye's got to mine, they were no longer the murderous expression but the one I got so many times before.. sighed and closed his eye's "Continue" He said. I looked toward a piece of drift wood."The old man.. He ran for help. He hurt me to the point were I almost died. Every time I screamed for help, it was everything he enjoyed. I would black out.. Than minutes after I would regain conscious. I was never more glad to see my father and the police. That's all I remember" I said looking down. The tears were dry on my face."Did he.." I knew where he was going to."No. He only hurt me." I must say I am thankful for that. I just don't see how all this information can come back to me. Sure I've had dream for a year. But mostly it was the same dream. "Abbey! Seth!" Said a voice. Leah's voice. Panic stricken.

"What happened?" Leah asked, the words coming out in a rush.
I could feel the tears coming on again.
"Come on, we have to get her inside. It's freezing out here"
I couldn't feel a thing, Seth's unhuman body heat was keeping me warm beyong words.
Leah helped my up out of Seth's grasp. I realised as I was out of his hold, how really cold it was out here. The gust of wind hit me, making me shiver.
"Here take this" Said Leah, handing me her thick jacket.
I was in someone's warm embrace in an instant.

And that was the last thing I remembered until I fell asleep...

SETH'S P.O.V

"Oh my god, Seth!" Kim said, running over to me and Abbey.
She threw her arm's around the two of us.
"Is she okay? Are you okay? What happened? Why was she like that?" She asked, all these questions came at me.
"She's fine" I said "I just want to take her to bed now" I said looking down at my angels face.
I hate to admit that I almost phased when she was in my arm's. I almost hurt her.
I want to kill that man who harmed her. Who made her have bad dreams. I know she has been having bad dreams. She told me last year.
Kim nodded at me. She had look of sympathy on her face.
Her face now had a peaceful look on it, it was like all the grief she ever had just vanished.

I placed her on my bed softly. Not wanting to hurt her.
As soon as she was under her covers, she turned so her back was facing me. Little snores escaped her lips.
I checked on her one last time before closing the door lightly behind me.

"Seth?" Said Leah. She looked at me.
I rested my head on the lounge, I didn't feel like talking about this.
"Seth what happened?" Leah said, her voice full of authority
"I don't want to talk about it Leah!" I said angrily, my head on the arm rest of the chair.
"Well that's too bad Seth Daniel Clearwater! What happened!" She whispered with anger.
I could feel myself shaking with anger.
"Kim, come here" Jared said, taking his imprint by the hand. He put her behind his back protectively.
I closed my eye's and started to focous on my breathing.

Seth? What happened?" Leah asked once again. This time slowly. She put her hand lightly on my shoulder.
"I don't want to say. I don't know if she would want me to say anything" I said looking down.
"I'm sorry for making you upset Seth" Leah said, putting her head on my shoulder. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug.
"Kids? Why aren't you at school?" Asked mom as she walked through the door.
"There was a blackout, so we all got to go home" Jared said respectively.
"Seth? Sweety? What's wrong.. Are you okay.. Oh my.. Is Amelia okay? Where is she" Mum asked in a rush of panic.

"

"She is asleep" I said.
"Oh thank god" She said putting a hand to her heart.
"I'm going to make something eat for all you guys" Mom said, knowing something was wrong. She didn't want to pry.
"I'm making spaghetti is that okay everyone?" Mom said from the kitchen.
"Yes thanks" We all said in unison. My voice was unhappy. Sad.
Why did this happen to her? Why does this happen to anyone?
"I think I'm going to check on her" I said getting up from my seat.

I didn't even wait for the reply of the others, knowing I didn't want to hear what mum would say.
Once I entered my room, I saw her sitting up in bed, looking at a green velvet photo album.
"Oh" She said looking at me, the photo album slipped out of her hands, hitting the floor with a soft 'thud'
I chuckled, but also blushed, knowing she would be seeing pictures I didn't want anybody seeing.
"Sorry" She said blushing.
I walked over to the fallen book and passed it back to her "It's okay, here"
She smiled at me and flipped it to a random page.
"Aww! Remember this. This is the one where we both didn't have our front teeth" She smiled up at me. I remember this one. Mum and dad wanted a open mouth smile. So we proudly showed our non existant front teeth.

We spent another hour or two laughing about the pictures in here. We completely forgot about what happened earlier on in the day
"Kid's. Are you coming out for dinner?" Mum asked softly, she stood in my doorway.
Abbey was wrapped in my arm's, and was more than likely blushing like crazy like now.
"Yes thanks Sue" Said Abbey.

"Are you okay?" Kim asked Abbey as we were walking out.
"Yeah I'm fine now" She said, looking down at the floor.
The events of today flooded back, making me feel bitter toward those men.
But the it seemed to dissolve as Abbey sat on my lap. My arm's went around her instinctively.
"Are you okay guys' I need to get to work.. But you all seem sad.. I could stay" She said.
"No, no it's okay Sue, go to work" Abbey said, showing my mum her best smile.
"Okay. Well if you guys' need anything at all, you know my number" Mum said smiling at us all.

"There is a dancy thingy in two weeks" Kim said out of no where.
"Do you want to go to it?" Jared asked, smiling down at Kim.
"Only if Abbey is coming. You coming abbey?" She said, showing off puppy dog eye's, which caused Jared to shake his head up and down at Abbey.
"Yep, me and Seth will be there"
"Feed me to the sharks why don't you" I said feigning hurt.
"Suck it up princess" Abbey said, back to her old joking self.
