Alli's POV:

        I stare out the window as my new mom drives me to my new home. She trys to start up a conversation, but I don't answer her. Then she says somthing I didn't expect to hear, "So, your turning sixteen next month I hear." I'm to suprised and answer, "Eh, no big deal," even though I didn't mean it. "What do you mean no big deal? I remember when I turned sixteen, it was so magicial..." she starts to ramble on. When we're at the driveway, she says "Welcome home Alli, I hope you like the room I set up for you." I didn't expect to be adoptied by millionaires! When I got out of the car, my new older brother took my bag and said, "Hello Alli, I'm Bryon." I look at the ground and nodded hello. I didn't want to see his eyes, his worst fear. He didn't seem to find that rude though, and I was suprised when he said, "Mom told me that you were shy, but it's nice to meet you." I'm still looking at the ground when I say, "You too."' Out of nowhere, two pair of small hands wrap around each of my legs, and I hear two small voices say, "Hi Alli!" Then I hear I gruff voice say, "Let go of her you two, that's not polite." I look down and see a boy and a girl that look exactly alike, only they are wearing different clothes. I couldn't help it, but I smiled. I've always wanted to be a big sister, but I was always the youngest in every family. And the older ones always bullied me about my weird habits. For the first time in ten years, I felt happy.

10 minutes later...

Alli's POV:

        When Mrs. Lyn opens the door to my room, my jaw droped. I look around the room that could hold pool in it and said, "You did this...for me?" Mrs. Lyn looked like she was about to burst from joy and said, "Yes, you are part of the family. And everyone has a room like this. I'm just so excited that your here, there are no other girls besides Alice. But she isn't old enough to want to do things with me." I look around the room and said, "You didn't have to do this." She just shook her head and said "Nonsense. And do you like your special little area, I heard that you sometimes like to spend time alone...so I thought of this!" and pointed to a corner of my room. It looked as if she cut out a piece of a dance club and put it in my room...I loved it! I looked at her and said, "No one has ever done somthing like this for me before...thank you." Her face turned into a bigger grin and said, "It was nothing, now get ready...I'm taking you shoping." If someone had offered that before, I would have gone to my room. But Mrs. Lyn is different...she was nice to me. So I was going to be nice back. "Sure that would be great," I said as she walked out the door.

3 hour later...

        Mrs. Lyn and I were just pulling into the driveway of her...our house when one of the flashbacks came. I grabed the armrest so hard that my nuckles turned white. Mrs. Lyn saw and stoped the car. "Is everything allright sweetheart?" she asks. I shake my head yes, but she dosen't belive me. And she's right. I was remembering how those assissans reacted when I pulled out my blade. How they laughed. I could tell she was worried, so I said "I'm allright...this happens every once 'n' a while." She is still looking at me when she says, "You can tell me if you wan't to...you know that right?" and I nod my head. Right before she gets out of the car I say, "Your going to think I'm crazy," and her hand hovers over the handel. She looks at me and says, "I won't dear, I won't." I take a deep breath and tell her what happened to my parents, and afterwards. She nods her head like she understands, then says, "Now your going to think I'm crazy, but I belive you."
