~ Hey sorry I know I'm updating a little fast but I'm board and I have something to say, people if your going to flame a story (especially at only the first chapter) do this for me, tell my why you don't like it and sign in! God people are so dumb like that. Anyhow, on with the story. ~

Epiphany sat in the corner of her room rubbing tears from her eyes, she had been crying for the past few hours.

"I can't believe they never told me this, what kind of "parents" are they!?" she thought to herself.

More tears flooded her eyes as she stood up.

"I'll show them, they will think twice before lying to me!" whispered to no one.

She ran to her closet and shoved some clothes along with a few belongings into a backpack and hopped out her window and onto the fire escape. The night air was cold and damp, but Epiphany didn't care, she carefully maneuvered her way down the ladder and onto the ground. She began to run as soon as she hit the ground, her feet kicking up water with every step.

"Can't stop, can't look back" she thought to herself.

Johnny looked over at Devi who had a puzzled look on her face; she turned her face to him and sighed.

"She's been in there a while, I think I should go see if she's ok" Devi announced.

"No, let her be, she's a tough girl, I think she can handle this" Johnny replied rubbing his chin.

Devi sighed again and sat beck down.

Epiphany walked through the crowded town bright lights from neon signs illuminated the air and noises from passerby's and cars surrounded her. An old decrepit looking man with tattered clothing sat on the sidewalk, he reached out and tugged on Epiphany's pant leg as she walked bye him.

"Excuse me miss, but could you spare an old man a dollar?" he said looking up at her.

She felt her heart sink down into her stomach looking at him.

"Yeah, here take it." She said tossing him a few coins.

She shoved her hands into her pockets and began to walk again. As night started to draw to an end and dawn was approaching the streets began to clear out. Epiphany looked around for a place to sleep, never in her life had she been so tired. An empty ally behind a Wall-mart looked like a good place to her. She ran until she got to a Dumpster, where she found some card board boxes. She ripped them apart and spread the flat card board bits onto the ground behind the wreaking Dumpster. Finally she lay down and shut her eyes.

"They'll pay, they'll all pay" she whispered to herself before passing out into a deep sleep.
