Lily POV Everything was happening so quickly. Once my mother and her husband came into the house. I started crying, not out of joy. No, not out of pleasure. I was crying because I was terrified. I was scared that my mother was going to take me or if she would hurt me. I tried to get away, but I was tackled, Bashing my head on the floor in the process. I looked around, and everything around me blurry. I couldn't make anything out. I tried so hard to stay awake; I tried with an ounce of strength I had. I failed. I wasn't sure how long I was out, but I heard voices, and I recognized Ethan's voice. I wanted to jump up and run to him, to tell him that I was ok. I tried to get out of here. Something inside of me told me to be quiet. So I just lay there.
