It's All My Fault- (Octaven)

Octavia's POV:

I woke up today, lying on the ground, shivering. It had snowed last night. I guess I'd have to find someplace to go. There's no way at fourteen year old can survive winter in the woods. So I made up my mind to start looking for help.

I was aimlessly walking. I had no idea where I was, or where I was even going. I could be getting even more lost for all I knew.

I was taking a break when I saw a piece of paper lying blowing on the freshly fallen snow. I grabbed it and what I saw shocked me. It was a picture of me.

It said that if anyone saw me to call the number. I didn't know if I should be relived, or scared. Who was looking for me? Who knew I was even alive?

4 hours later...

I had finally got out of the woods and found myself in a town that my mother always told me to stay out of. Azgeta. This place was always on the news. But today, I decided I could make an exception. I'm sure not everyone could be bad... right?

Wrong. I had only been walking down the street for five minutes before a group of five guys had me surrounded. I screamed as loud as I could. I yelled for help. But then one of the boys punched me to be quiet. I stumbled back into another guy who then held me tightly. I struggled to get away, but he was too strong. It was no use.

Luckily, after about ten minutes of getting beat up, the police arrived. They arrested the group, and took me into a different car.

"How did a little girl like you end up in this town? Don't worry you are safe now. Tell me where you're parents live and I'll take you home," the officer was nice, he seemed genuinely worried about me.

"My family is dead." Is all I managed to say before I burst into tears.

"Hey it's okay. Don't cry. Wait a minute. Your Octavia? Well we have been looking everywhere for you. You're brother isn't dead. He's in a coma. But, you have been arranged to stay at a girls home until he wakes up," I couldn't believe it. My brother is alive.

And maybe staying at a girls home won't be that bad.
