The Cox Family

Alexis: I backed away in the corner frightened of Ezra. "What do you want?"

Ezra

"Information," I replied, grabbing her by the arm. I threw her down in the circle, "And you're going to give it to me."

Alexis: I spat him," I won't give you anything."

Ezra

I dove into her mind, and picked out a painful memory. "Oh...I think you will." I brought the memory to surface. (Mind torture....info is on pg. 1)

Tommy

"What's wrong?" I asked her, lifting up her bangs so I could see her face.

(okay)

Alexis: I screamed as the memory of my father surfaced he was standing above me drunk as always and beating me. My mother screamed at him to stop so he turned his rage on him. That is when i grabbed the vase and hit him across the head.

Grace blinked and looked at him, disliking the fact her hair had been moved. "Nothing." She muttered dropping her eyes, then began muttering to herself in Italian, something about hating it here.

Kaden walked through the forest, not really doing anything but clearing her head. He she moved around some smaller trees, she thought she saw something so she decided to investigate. Walking over to the small bulge she pushed the leaves and dirt away. It appeared to be and entrance to something so she pulled it open and went down inside. It was a hallway, dimly lit, so she cautiously proceeded down it.

Ezra

I released her, "So your father abused you and your mother? My, my, my...how horrible." I said, fake concern that was most convincing in my voice.

Tommy

I think she was speaking in italian, "I can't understand ya when ya do that."

Kaden kept walking, wondering what this place was. She heard voices and headed toward them. Soon, she came to a door and she opened it a little but it made a noise and the people in the room turned to look at her.

Alexis: i stopped screaming and curled up into a ball not even paying attention to Ezra. I started rocking back and forth trying to calm down again. I spent years trying to get that day out of my head and my father.

Ezra

"I can help you. I can make all the pain go away," I said, showing her a happy memory of her and her mother.

Tommy

The door opened and I looked up, "'Ello?"

Kaden looked the boy over and furrowed her eyebrows. "Hi..." She really wasn't sure what to say to him. She had no idea where she was, and no idea who these people were.

Tommy

"Not to be rude but....who're you?" I asked, having not seen her before.

Kaden, still confused about the whole thing was not about to tell him her name. "I could ask you the same question...What is this place?"

Grace rolled her eyes a little, showing more attitude then she had in the whole time they'd been talking. "I didn't want ya too." She muttered, then continued on to give him her opinion of the place in Italian, ignoring whoever walked in.

Alexis: I smiled, my intincts told me to ignore him and not help but my heart was winning and if i could see my mom I would do anything he said. That is what frightened me. "No," I yelled more to myself than him.

Ezra

"Why no? Don't you want to see your mother again?"

Tommy

I had been right, she wasn't one of them. "You need to leave. Now."

Alexis: I started crying again, "Yes."

Kaden frowned. "Um, okay? Why? What is the place?" She was curious and wasn't about to leave without some answers. And who was this kid, anyway?

Tommy

"It's not safe for you here! You need to leave now! If they find you...." I stammered, oh my my ...she was stubborn.

Ezra

Few more seconds and she'd cave. This was easy. "I can help you. I can help you find your mother."

Alexis: I kept shaking my head, "No you won't take me to her."

Grace glanced up , letting her hair fall back infront of her face again. "You should listen to him." She murmured, only bad things will happen if you stay." Then she dropped her gaze again and pushed the stranger and Tommy from her mind as she tightened her arms around her legs.

Angela watched. She was frightened. "Ezra... please..." SHe whispered. Tears fell down her cheeks. She couldnt think. 'Sucide' She thought with a smile.

Ezra

I tilted her chin up to face me, "You say that but you know what that makes you? A person who judges. You don't know me do you? How would you like to judge others the way your father judged you?"

Alexis: "I am nothing like my father!," I shouted. Was i like him? No i would never hit people and try to kill.
