I sat next to her holding her hand as Carlisle finished his examination just staring at the beauty that lay before me when I was interrupted by Carlisle shocked voice "oh my God her …

Now

"oh my God her back" through Carlisle mind I could see how disgusted he was and how angry he was at who ever had done this for Carlisle Cullen to be angry something seriously needs to wrong. When I looked at her back myself I was horrified with what I saw. How could anyone do this to such a beautiful creature, I was so angry, angrier than Carlisle , angrier than I have ever been in my life , where was this irrational anger coming from and what was this beautiful stranger doing to me and why do I felt the need to protect her .

I could still not believe what was on her back whoever did this is seriously sick and should not be able to walk this earth anymore. If I was human I would through u everything I had in my body what had this girl had to endure and who is she still alive. Her whole back was covered with long red welt from what I could only guess was a leather belt. There was not one piece of her back that was not covered in welts except there was a small space on her lower back where they was the word "WHORE" etched into her back.

What was worse were some of the had re-opened and were bleeding, no wonder her scent was so strong in the alleyway but if there was that much blood why did I not lose control, yet again this girl was confusing me. "She must have over exerted herself really bad for these wounds to re-open if I could guess I would say it was from running with the bag on her back.

Her bag I complete forgot she had a bag with her I quickly left her side and was back in less than a second with her bag in my hand I know there is something really ad about going through a woman's bags but if it could tell me something about this beautiful woman and how she got in this state I needed to know, I had to know what happened to her

As I emptied the bag a clear picture began to emerge, a picture I did not like. There were some clothes wrinkled in a ball in the bag that were obviously packed in quite a hurry but when I came across a frame that obviously took care to pack was a picture of a beautiful women who looked quite similar to the girl on the bed, the same colour hair except the beautiful girl on the bed had a unique red tint to her brown curls , the same eyes but the beautiful girls seemed to be deeper shade of chocolate brown there was no doubt in my mind that this woman was the girls' mother and the girl had a lot of love for her mother judging from the fact of the way it was careful packed and taken care of. All the pieces did not really click until I found a big bundle of cash ad her passport at the end of her bag and I know she was running, from what or who I did not know but I was going to find out and they were going to pay with their lives. I growled to myself at the thought of her in pain.

My growl must have woken her because the next thing I heard was a painful moan next to me and my hand automatically went to hold hers.

"It's ok, you're safe now "I told her with a soothing vice trying to calm her. She slowly opened her eyes when she heard my voice and she blinked a few times to clear her vision and her beautiful chocolate eyes directly looked at me and she gasped which automatically made me panic was she in pain, what did she need.

"Are you ok? I asked in a panicked tone. Then she spoke her voice was a bit croaky ad quiet but it was beautiful it was like music to my ears.

"Where am I? Who are you? Why am I not dead? What happened?" she asked in one breath I could hear her heart began to beat faster as her panic began to rise.

"it's ok your safe now no one's going to hurt you here" I said as I rubbed her hands soothing this mad her seem to realise that I was holding her hand he whole time and she immediately pulled her hand back from my grasp and kicked of the blanket of her bed and began to stand all the time mumbling about leaving and how she needs to leave straight before he finds her , who was this he whoever he was he wa going to pay for wat he had done to this beautiful but as soon as she stood up she began to stumble as she was so weak.

My arms automatically went around her waist as she fell before her eyes closed again I could hear her faintly whisper something that even my vampire hearing could not hear. Before I could even ask Carlisle helped lay her back down on the bed ad was checking her over again and before I could ask what was wrong he reassured me.

"don't worry son, her body just needs time to heal after all its been through I still can't believe what she has been through and is still alive". I let out an unneeded breath that I did not know I was holding as I once again grabbed her hand and waited. I just sat there and waited staring at the beautiful angel praying that she will wake up soon.

So let me know what you think
