I'm in my house. Why am I here, wasn't I at the guys?

I walk into the kitchen looking for food, but immediately stop when I see a dark shadow coming towards me. I back away as subtly as I can trying not to attract attention, which seems pretty pointless considering I am walking away from a creepy dark shadow that is following me. Okay,maybe I should run.

I sprint down the hall as fast as my little legs will take me, I probably look like a potato running from the grater. What the hell is wrong with my brain, potatoes don't run. THEY DONT EVEN HAVE LEGS.

Pointless. I belong in a mental asylum I know...

I stop running and use the wall for support to catch my breath. Something hits the wall right next to me. Glass shatters around me.

I scream and step back the guy stands in front of me, it's Dad...

I try to run away again but he grabs my arm, his finger nails are doffing into my skin causing it to bleed. Oh no, please not again, I'll do anything. I'll clean my room, I'll start to worship god, anything.

He slaps me across the face,hard. I drop to the ground, he kicks my stomach causing me to scream.

"STOP!! PLEASE STOP!! HELP ME SOMEONE!!"

He continues to kick me while I lie there, not fighting back. Numb.

"Wake up Samantha" I hear in the distance.

I scream and sit up in my bed. I start to cry as I remember that horrible dream. Now he haunts my dreams, great. Arms wrap around me.

"Shhhh it's ok, it was jus a nightmare, he's not here. Your safe" James's says in a soothing voice.

Once I gain control of my Niagara Falls that's running out of my eyes. Australia now has it own Niagara Falls. I look around the room seeing all of the gang in the room. Everyone showing concerned but is afraid to speak. Afraid that if they say something I might breakdown, they think I'm fragile. Broken, is what I am not fragile.

I clear my throat and try to gain courage to speak.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you" I stutter out. I look down to my lap with my hair covering my tear-stained splotchy face.

Fingers lift my chin up and I'm met with a mop of blonde hair and hazel eyes. Isaacs arms wrap around me.

"It's ok, we were up anyway." He says in a soft tone.

"What time is it?" I ask groggily.

"9am" Nathan says as he comes up and gives me a hug. A flash of lightning peeks through the window causing me to squeal and dig my head into Nathan's shoulder.
"Are you scared?" Nathan whispers.
I nod, "yes very,vi hate thunder storms and snakes, or anything that doesn't have feet" I say.
"What about an amputee" Jordan says in a snicker. I look up and glare at him, but fail and end up laughing.
"I mean insects or animals, like slugs even the thought of slugs make me shiver." I say as I shiver. Slugs are just gross, like snails are fine but slugs are like naked snails. And snakes really need to grow legs, snakes are like leg less lizards. I shiver at that thought.

I get up from the bed with wobbly legs.
"I need to peeeeeeeeeeeeee" I groan. Everyone starts to laugh at me. De ja vú much. I give them my best death glare which makes them laugh harder, I swear Isaac is crying with happy tears.

"Yeah yeah, laugh all you want" I wave them off and walk to the bathroom to pee.

•••••

I dry off my hands on the towel-that's-as-soft-as-a-sheep's-butt.

I look in the mirror. The bruises have started to fade. But the cuts are still noticeable.

I trudge over to my overnight bag and pick out my exercise clothes and change into them. I hear a ruckus downstairs and decide to follow it. Jordan and Nathan are cooking bacon and eggs.

"Where are the rest of the guys?" I ask making them jump.

"They errr went out to get err..."
"More food!" Jordan shouts and cuts of Nathan's stuttering.

"Ok...." I brush off Nathan's weirdness.

I walk over to the pan to pick at some bacon but my hand is swatted away by a spatula that Nathan's holding.

"Pleeeeeeaaaassseeee" I whine "my stomach is about to eat itself I'm soo hungry, just a little bit" I bring my pointer finger and thumb close together to show how much I want, but I actually want the whole contents of the pan.

Jordan starts to toast some bread, he has his back turned to me. Nathan puts the bacon and eggs and a couple of sausages on a plate. He turns around to get some orange juice. An evil smirk plasters itself onto my face.

I quickly in a flash grab the plate of food I grab two pieces of toast onto my plate and as Nathan's turning around with orange juice and butter in his hands I quickly grab the butter and the juice and run upstairs leaving a gobsmacked Nathan and a oblivious Jordan in the kitchen. I evilly laugh and run up to my room carefully trying not to spill the food.

I slam my door shut and lock it. I slowly walk over to my bed and eat my food, I forgot a np knife for the butter so I use my fingers to butter the bread. Gross, I know but, meh.

Jordan and Nathan are knocking on my door and trying to persuade me not to eat all of the food, too late.

"Don't eat all the food Sam. I'm hungry too" Nathan whines.
"Didn't the rest of the guys go to buy some more food from the supermarket?!" I shout back, I know they lied to me. I'm not stupid,entirely. Everything goes quiet and I start to laugh, they landed themselves in a trap.

I hear the front door open and 3 sets of steps follow.

"What on earth is this?" I hear James on the other side of the door.

"Sam has all of the food, she was like a ninja" I hear Nathan say, then I hear a shuffle,shuffle groan.
"Dude you didn't need to show us your ninja moves, which by the way you don't have" I hear Isaac says and I laugh.
"THIS IS NOT FUNNY SAM!" I hear Nathan shout which makes me laugh more, I am laughing so hard I am clutching my stomach and gasping for air. If someone walked in they would think I look like a fish.

"You do realise there is a spare key" Cassie says in a 'duh' tone. "Idiots" Cassie whispers.

The door clicks open. And everyone stares at me, I have a piece of bacon hanging from my mouth. Isaac snorts and Cassie laughs.
"And they say I'm weird" I hear Nathan whisper. "That's because you are, dimwit" Cassie says.

"Ok, what's the plan for today?"I ask after I finished my bacon.

"You are training to be a part of the gang" James says."first you are learning to fight again, properly this time. And then secondly you are going to learn to fire a gun and load one. Thirdly you are learning how to throw knives and then you get to choose your weapon." I nod taking everything in.

"Isaac will teach you how to fight, Nathan and Jordan will teach you how to fire a gun. Cassie will show you the knives. And I will help you choose the best weapon for you." James says.

"So let's begin" I say and clap my hands together.

"But I'm hungry" everyone says at the same time causing me to laugh. I swear they practice that.

•••••

After everyone ate, we decided to start training.

"Ok I want you to punch me" Isaac says.

"No"

"No?"

"Yes"

"Yes?"

"No"

"No?"

"Ugh"

"Ugh?"

"Seriously Isaac" I say and put my hands on my hips giving him a death glare which cracks him up laughing. Why do my death glares always make people laugh?

"Ok ok I'm sorry but seriously, you need to punch me. Now" Isaac says while he bounces from foot to foot.

"Ok" and I punch him in the face. "Argh" Isaac groans. Obviously he didn't realise I can actually punch, I forgot to mention I did martial arts for 4 years but was too scared to actually use it. "Hey, don't hate on me Isaac you said punch and I did" to emphasise I flick my hair.

"What on earth?" James asks.

"I punched Isaac in the face" I say sweetly.
"How many times?" James asks.
I pretend to think. "Um once I think" Isaac gives me a death glare and I laugh. Ohhh I get it, it's actually pretty hilarious when someone gives you a death glare.

I crouch down to Isaac, who is lying crumpled on the ground "maybe ask if I have any experience first before you get me to punch you" I point out in a whisper.
Ohh look Sams acting all bad-ass. My subconscious points out.

I stand back up and look at James. I smile at him but inside I'm trying my best not to lash out at him.

"I'm ashamed of you guys, you just judge a book by its cover but seriously WHAT THE HELL. Just because I am a girl doesn't mean I can't punch" I say, and point to Isaac for emphasis.

"Ok, maybe that's enough fighting for today, how about we start shooting guns. I'll go and get the guys you help Isaac." James says and then walks away to get Jordan and Nathan.

"Geez woman you really do pack a punch" Isaac says while he is holding his nose.

"Yeah yeah, just because it looks like I can't punch doesn't mean I can't" I say and do a hairflick.

"Did you really just hairflick?" Isaac asks.

"Do you have eyes?" I retort back

"Uhh yeah" Isaac says obviously not getting my retort.

"Whatever" I say and walk off looking for food.

What? I'm hungry.
