Yeah. Hope it works. Thanks for the reviews!

There was a knock on the door, which had been left wide open. A tall woman with blonde hair stood there, an outgoing smile across her face.
"Hello, there!" she said in a happy tone. "I live right upstairs, just thought I'd come by to welcome you. May I come in?"
Audrey stood up to greet her. She smiled at the woman's warm greeting. "Sure." She replied, and the woman entered. "How are you?"
"Fine, thanks. My name's Elizabeth, what's yours?" the lady said, extending her hand towards her. Audrey hesitated for a moment, but then gave in and shook her hand. "My name's Audrey."
The woman looked around her room, her eyes quickly traveling as she said, "I know this guy downtown who can help you with some furniture." She looked at Audrey and smiled generously. "I brought his card here, just thought it would be helpful." She gave Audrey a card with a number on it and the name 'Sam' on it.
"Thanks." She replied, looking back up at Elizabeth who was still looking around, and glancing at her every now and then. "Uh, yeah. I was kind of thinking of fixing this place up to make it more comfortable."
"Yeah, I noticed.have you heard the news lately?" Elizabeth asked. Audrey thought about it for a moment. "What happened?"
"Well, they're passing this mutant registration act. Pretty useless if you ask me. I mean, what person in their right minds would ever go and sign a paper that can easily get them tracked wherever they go?" Elizabeth shook her head. Audrey looked at her. "Yeah." She agreed, narrowing her eyes.
"Well, If you need anything, I live in No. 6. I'm kind of in a rush right now, so I'll see ya around!" and the blonde walked out. Audrey watched as Elizabeth left and looked down at her hands. She was starting like the idea of meeting new people. She had another chance to start over with no one knowing who she really was.
************ "Just what do you think your doing?" her father burst in, yelling in his usual demanding voice. She didn't reply. Wasn't it obvious that she was packing her things? "You're not going anywhere, listen to me!" He pulled her by her arm.
"Let go!" Audrey screamed, trying to break free, but his grip was too strong. "I don't want to hurt you.."
"Shut up!" he bellowed, as he smacked her across the face. Brown locks fell upon her face as she slowly turned to look at her father. A tear began to run down her face as she looked into his dark cold eyes. Her mother hadn't told him what she was because of how he would react. And this was exactly what they had feared.
"How long have you kept this from me?!" he asked, ignoring her mother's cries as she ran up the stairs.
"I'm sorry.."
"What did you-". He loosened his grip, and Audrey broke free. "I'm sorry," she said sobbing. Her father suddenly began to hold his head in pain, trying to scream. She quickly grabbed her bag and ran out the window.
