I kept looking up at the shadowy doorway in front of me. My eyes were playing tricks, making me think someone was standing there, but they weren't. I couldn't stop blinking, I was going insane. I'd been sat in this abandoned apartment for three hours. With me sat all the stuff that I had managed to stuff into my suitcase before leaving my Mum's house, as she threw me out. I had no idea it would come to this, the Mum which had once been so perfect and loving had turned into this cold statue, just living to obey him. Him being the bastard she called her 'fiancé'. The man who had used and abused me for two years, while Mum just ignored it, turned a blind eye and pretended it wasn't happening, but she knew better than anyone. If it wasn't the violence or him coming into my room in the middle of the night to 'have some fun', it was the pictures and videos he had of me, sitting on his own little website for him and all his sick friends. After it all I thought I would be the one running away, but she had kicked me out before I got the chance. I guess I should be happy, I could finally get away from him, but now I was at the same amount of danger. Nowhere to turn to, living like a tramp, scared and cold.

I was shivering, the little light coming from the hole where the window should be lit the damp room. Torn wall paper covered the walls and water fell in from the leak in the ceiling. I glanced back at the doorway and was sure I could see a cloaked figure, but no, I blinked and it was gone. I had to do something. My only hope was to ring Sam, my brother. He lived in America and used to be my best friend when I was little. Before my Mum moved me away when she divorced Dad. But what would I say? I couldn't ask to stay with him, I couldn't just charge in on his life. I decided I would just ring him, I hadn't spoken to him in a while and I would just see how the conversation went. I dialled the number and waited for him to pick up, I just needed to feel someone was there with me.

"Hello?" I could tell it was Sam, his voice was the same, a little deeper, but the same.

"Hi. It's Anna. Is that Sam?" There was a small pause of silence.

"Anna? I haven't heard from you in ages. How are you?"

"I'm…ok" What was I supposed to say to that? "How are you?"

"I'm fine. You should have rung me before, it's been so long since I've seen you. I lost my phone and ended up losing your number, otherwise I would have rung you!"

"Oh, I've really missed you. Are you busy?" I didn't want to bother him if he was in the middle of something.

"No just having some coffee. Are you ok Anna? You sound really rough and all I can hear is rain." Now I thought about it, my voice was shaking, but I was on the verge of crying. I didn't answer, I just didn't know what to say.

"Anna? Where are you? Where's Mum?"

"Mum's not here. Sam, I don't know where I am." A tear escaped from my eye, even though I desperately tried to hold it in.

"Anna? Anna? What's going on? What's happened?"

"She's kicked me out Sam. I don't know where to go or what to do." The tears were freely flowing now.

"What? Why has she kicked you out? How could she do that? Anna, listen to me, don't worry we will sort this out. But you have to tell me what's going on, are you somewhere safe?"

"I don't know where I am? But I can't go back there Sam, please don't make me go back."

"No don't worry honey, I will sort this out. But if you don't want to go back you don't have to, you will come live with me."

"No I can't! I can't just come in and ruin your life!"

"Don't be stupid. You ARE coming here, there's no question."

The conversation went on, he asked what had happened but I wouldn't tell him, I couldn't. He had decided that tomorrow morning I was to get straight on a flight to Port Angeles where he would pick me up. I had some money in an account from my Saturday job, I would use it to buy my flight. I felt so guilty, he didn't need to do this for me. I tried to fall asleep, I had a huge day ahead.

I was in the aeroplane, we were just touching down on the runway into Port Angeles. This was it, my new start. After some quick phone calls back in England to say goodbye to my friends, they made me promise I would visit and didn't quite understand why I was leaving, but then again they didn't quite understand my life. I got off the plane and went to baggage collection. My bag arrived last – typical. Sam was going to pick me up at 2pm, it was 2:25pm and I didn't want to be any hassle. I grabbed my bag and walked through to where you wait for cabs etc. I couldn't see Sam around anywhere. I put down my bags and sat on my suitcase. I pulled my phone from my bag and checked my messages.

"Anna!"

I spun around at hearing my name and saw Sam only metres away running towards me.

"Sam!" I said into his shoulder, he had thrown his arms around me and picked me up in a bear hug. He put me down but wouldn't let go. He leant back and searched me with concern filled eyes.

"Are you ok sweetie? What's happened to you?" He wrapped his arms back tightly around me.

"I'm gonna fix this I promise." He grabbed my bag with one hand and grabbed my hand with the other and strode out towards an average sized black car. Before I could say anything he had lifted my bag into the car and had the passenger door open for me.

I smiled, "Thank you." I said and climbed in.

The car ride home was quiet, but not awkward, Sam told me about his wife Emily, they had recently got married. As the car rolled up at the house, my eyes flew open to see Sam holding the door open shaking me awake. I had fallen asleep!

"Oh sorry Sam I had no idea I was this tired."

"That's ok, you looked pretty tired actually." He chuckled and led me out the car. Emily came out to meet us in the drive. I walked over and she wrapped me in a motherly hug.

"It's so good to meet you. I'm Emily, Sam's wife. I've got some food prepared for you inside, I thought you'd be hungry!" She smiled.

Inside the table had a plate of scrambled egg laid out for me and a whole plate of muffins behind it. I sat with Sam and Emily and we caught up about their lives. I loved Emily, she was so sweet, I was so glad they were together.

"So Anna, at six we are going to a barbeque down on the La Push beach with all our close friends, they are literally like family to us. We'd love for you to come!" Emily asked.

"Yeah sure! That would be fun, but I won't know anyone but you two?"

"Haha don't worry about that they will soon feel like your family too." Sam smiled. "Why don't you go and unpack your things. I just need a word with Emily."

"Ok." I headed upstairs to my new room and started to unpack.

Sam POV

"I don't know how to ask her." I sighed frustrated, Anna and Emily were literally everything to me, and there was no one I cared more about in the world. I had a feeling something terrible had happened to Anna and I needed to know what.

"She's a sweet girl Sam, and she trusts you. Just tell her you need to know what happened at home and don't leave 'till she tells you everything. But be calm and understanding, she may not want to talk about it." My beautiful Emily replied, so helpful.

Anna POV

I had nearly finished unpacking when Sam walked in.

"Anna sit down I need to talk." Sam said. He was bound to ask, but I didn't know how much to tell him.

"I need you to tell me what happened at home. I know you may not want to tell me, but I'm concerned, and I promise to look after you from now on." We were sat on the bed awkwardly, I suddenly found it hard to speak.

"M-Mum…she has a fiancé, this guy who lives with us. He's an asshole, and this isn't just me hating on the step-dad type thing, he is honestly horrible. He…" My voice faltered. Why couldn't I just say it? He would understand right? Or would he not believe me? Sam put his arm firmly on my shoulder.

"What Anna? He?" Sam pushed.

"I dunno, he was like, a bit, um violent I guess. He used to…" I was finding this hard. Sam was staring into my eyes, his were wide and shocked.

"He touched you? He dared to hurt my baby sister?" Sam was getting angry I could clearly see.

"No Sam, please don't go crazy there is so much more I just gotta say." He seemed to calm himself, but I could see it took a lot.

"He used to hurt me yes. But I was tough, I could deal with it?" It was more of a question than a statement. "He used to stick to that, but he decided to go further one night. He came into my room and…, he raped me Sam." I could see he was about to explode, but I had more to say. "But he didn't just do it once Sam, it became regular and I didn't know what to do! I couldn't stop it! Please don't be mad at me Sam, I love you." My words seemed to stun him, he was shocked angry and destroyed at the same time. He grabbed my head and looked deep into my eyes.

"No Anna, NO! I LOVE you! You are my baby sister. No bastard can dare put his filthy hands on my little sister and think he can get away with it. PLEASE don't think I'm mad at you! What are you thinking! I could never be mad at you my sweetie I'm mad FOR you! I'm GOING to rip to pieces that ass and torture him for what he did to you!" He got up and punched the wall. He PUNCHED the wall! He was so angry, furious, but not at me? I broke down into tears, I tried to hide it but it just all came out. But I couldn't bring myself to tell him about the videos and pictures and selling me to his friends. He was so angry already, I couldn't put that on him, and anyway, I was too ashamed. Sam tried to calm himself, he knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my arms.

"Anna?" He had tears in his eyes, I had never seen Sam cry before. "Anna, I am your brother. I am the one who should have been there to protect you from that kind of stuff. It should never have happened to you and it NEVER will again. You should have told me, the second he laid a finger on you, you should have been straight on the phone to me. I would have flown over for you! Anna I promise, from now on I will take care of you completely. You and Emily are THE most important things to me on this earth. I love you." He was shaking, I stroked his hair.

"I love you Sam."

"I gotta to for a run, I'll see you soon. I love you honey." He leant in and kissed my forehead before walking out of the room.

Sam POV

I ran through the trees. I was so angry. I bit down on trees and ripped them to pieces. I tore up leaves with my claws. I needed to kill him. The bastard that did that to my baby sister, and I would kill him, I would torture him first. Embry and Jared were on patrol, they could hear all my thoughts.

Shit man, I can't believe that. Whatever you decide to do about him, I'll help. Embry thought from a yard away. Jared howled in agreement. They didn't even know her, she was nothing to them and even they wanted to rip the guy to shreds. The only thing stopping me was the fact he was on the other side of the world! It was so frustrating.

Hey Sam the barbeque starts in half an hour, I know you're angry but we all want to meet your sister. We want to look after her too. Jared's thoughts relaxed me a little, I needed to be at that barbeque, I needed to be there for Anna.

Anna POV

I arrived at the barbeque with Emily. The first thing I noticed about Sam's friends was that they were all HUGE. Literally at least 6ft all of them, and really muscly! I mean LOTS of eye candy. The guys were all really cool, there was Jake, Jared, Quil, Embry, Paul and Seth. Me and Embry got on so well together, we were laughing for hours, but at 9.30 we all sat down by the fire as Billy one of the older men there told us stories about wolves. I didn't hear all of them because I fell asleep. I woke up at 11, my head resting on Embry's shoulder. Everyone was packing up and starting to leave. Sam came and sat beside me.

"C'mon Anna it's time to go home." He said. I moaned into Embry's shoulder. He was so warm and I was so tired…

Embry chuckled. "Would you like me to carry you back?" He whispered in my ear.

"Mmhmm." I replied. That meant 'Yes'. I think he got the message as the next thing I knew I was against his chest and in his toned arms. The last thing I remember as I drifted to sleep was Sam talking in a hushed tone with Embry and he looked worried. He told Embry to take me home as he ran off into the woods.
