• Chapter one,


    Staring at his grave, Bell could remember, go back anywhere in her life to live it once more. The probelm was, did she want to? Would the nightmares really go away if she did? She didn't want to try, she was scared to try!
    Brushing away her tears she tried to imagine what he would say, most likely , memories are a treasure to the past, even the raw cold ones, you should embrace them not push them away! Taking a deep breath, it's time to be strong and live! she thought. Maybe, just maybe, she might finally find the anwser she's been searching for.
    "Who killed you Adam?"

    Bell sat up in her cot streaching, ugh my whole body is still sore from last night. Glancing at her sister's bed, she carefully got dress and ready for the day trying to not wake her up.
    Last night she had the best time of her life! She and her friends had gone to the small creek in the Village of Newfoundland to skip rocks and just plain old talk! She hadn't done that for who knows when? After that they had went to Ferris Lane to play a game of hockey with the other local kids. Unfortenlly, she came back late and her abuseive father had beaten her red, but to her it was worth it to have fun with her friends she was told she could never have.
    Bell made her way downstairs and into the kitchen where her mother was making breakfeast. Her brown hair was pulled back into a bun and she had a nasty black and blue bruise on her cheek, no doubt from her father.
    "Hello my Rapuzel.", she greeted me with one of her fake smiles. It's sad to say that my father has beaten all the happiness my mother always showed when I was younger, I was so used to seeing her beautiful smile back then that every night I had cried knowing it was gone forever. But things has changed, I'm much older now, much stronger.
    "Bell! Where's Alice?", her father asked sternly. Bell hadn't noticed he was there before.
    "She's getting dressed right now, she'll be down in a bit.", telling my small lie, " I'll go ask her why it's taking so long if you want father.".
    Her father gave her a cold look the one he always gave us when he suspected us lying. " Very well, But be quick.", he barked.
    Racing up stairs Bell bounded into her and her sister's room. "Alice quick wake up and get dressed father is in a bad mood today.", she said shaking her twin.
    Groaning, Alice leaped off her bed and dressed, heading downstairs once more Bell went right to the cupboards to fetch plates and sliverware to set up the table.
    "Sorry I took so long, father.", Alice aplogized.
    "Sorry? SORRY?! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR BEING SO USELESS!", he shouted. Then taking off his belt he grabbed Alice and pushed her to the ground. Useing the belt as a whip he reapeatily strucked her.
    Closing her eyes so she wouldn't have to see, Bell could hear her mother begging her father to stop. Then she heard her father say, "Stop? Why should I stop?".
    She could hear him walk over to her, bracing herself she heard her mother crying and a whoosh as the belt came and pelting her on her cheek.
