Amy smiled and took of the lid of the ice cream digging her spoon into the creamy desert taking a bite as she thought how to begin.

"Well..." She began biting her lip a little " I've been here for about 2 and a half years,I was in a real dark place, I met Arturo one day, we got talking at the book store where I worked. A few days after I was standing on top of the Rockford bridge. I'm about to step off when I'm yanked back by Arturo. He brings me back here and tells me that I'm not allowed to leave until I'm safe within myself. I had good days and bad days, I tried to leave but Arturo would always find me even if I left in broad daylight. I knew I couldn't run from my problems until I faced them myself." Amy explained.

She sighed softly " for some reason whenever something bad it about to happen Arturo is always there. He saved Samantha from her abusive husband and put her daughter in safe housing until the court case came through and he Is going to jail soon so she will be leaving. Mellisa was on the streets selling her body, and Rachel and Carrie just didn't feel safe after their house burnt down. He helps us for a reason..because of what happened I mean. Well you saw Tristan's room. I don't feel right telling you about Arturo's history. I mean we all know it but he told us a few months after we got the whole vampire thing. " she explained running a hand through her hair.

" we can leave when we want to but it's as long as we feel we are ready to leave" Amy added " why did Arturo bring you? Or don't you know yet?" She asked.
