Evelyn, left the house knwing it would anger her father even further, but she didnt care in that moment, she just needed to get away, she needed out of that house, out of that situation, and she would think of how to handle the consiquences later, as she made her way to the high street, her head bowed and her arms crossed over her chest, almost as if she were trying to keep herself warm, either that or trying to hold herself together, it was clear she had been crying, no matter how much she tried to hide that fact, her hair was loose and a little of it hung down into her face, hiding the bruising upon her cheek bone, of course if anyone asked about it she would lie, with the sleeves of her cardigan also covering her hands, and her rather old looking shoes, it was clear her family didnt really have all that much money, but Evelyn and her father got by with what they did have, most of the money going toward her fathers alcohol adiction.
Swallowing hard Evelyn turned into the book shop, she loved books, and wondered if she would find one of her mothers stories in this store.

Esme sighed as she walked into the book store, she had been bored today while Carisle worked so she had decided to go out, it was pouring out so it was ok to be out in public. Esme smiled as she smelled the new book smell. She took in the scene around her and saw a young girl standing by herself looking at books. She seeemed to be all alone, Esme walked over to where she was looking and stood a few feet away. She felt vile rise in her throat the young girl was covered in brusies, No child deserved to be beat up it just wasnt right she wished Edward was here so she could hear this young girls thoughts. She walked next to her and picked up a book she loved by a woman with the last name Winters. "This is a great book" she said with a smile hping she cold et to kow hr

Evelyn was stood there, just staring at the books, almost as if she was in some kind daze, but hearing the melodical voice of another Evelyn soon snapped out of the trance and followed the book with her eyes, a soft smile slipped upon her pale pink lips as she looked to the rather beautiful lady beside her
"have...have you read it?"
Evelyn asked in a rather sweet voice, it was very child like, despite the girl was nearly 18, although she looked very much younger, her piercing blue eyes rested upon the womans flawless face, and she was some what in awe of her.

Esme smiled at the young girl she truley was very beautiful she seemed to be young Esme wondered how old she really was with her bright blue eyes and slender body, She felt bad for the poor girl she looked like she had been beaten up a few times she wondered what was the matter with her father that made her look so sad. She looked at her "Yea about ten times its a great story you should definatly get it if you havent read it before" she said. She was curious she wasent usally this open with people but this girl looked like she could use a mother figure and that what Esme loved to do

Evelyn smiled ever so gently as she heard this lady's words, Evelyn gave a small nod of her head
"I;ve read it...many a time...my...umm...my mother...she wrote it"
Evelyn confessed as she glanced to the book and the name of the autor upon it 'Talullah Winters' Evelyns hand moved to the locket around her neck as hse played with it absent mindedly, as her hand was revealed, the sleeve of her cardigan rising up a little to rebeal also her wrist, she had brusing upon it, as if someone had pinned her down with a terribly hard grip, her hands were a little chipped, as if they had been cut and bled, but Evelyn's eyes remained upon that book in the woman's hand.

Esme smiled again she didnt want to scare the poor girl she seemed to be a very nice you child, maybe a little lost but definatly someone who deserved a good life. Esme looked at the girl shocked, she never knew the writer had a family she never mentioned it. "She did, wow thats really cool, I wish my mother had been a write" she said wistfully, knowing that could never be her mother had been dead for over a centuary. Esme watched the girl raise her arm she couldent believe what she saw the girl had a huge brusie on her wrists and cute on her hands. She looked at the girl closley she regonized the signs, she regonized them because she had been the same when her first husband had been abusing her, She looked at her eyes fillled with empathy and compassion. "Honey are you ok?" she asked softly trying not to pry. "Is someone hurting you" she asked in a motherly voice this girl looked like she could use some mothering

Evelyn stood there silently for a lonf moment as she listened to the womans words, her hand still upon the locket, completely forgetting about the marks upon her skin, her eyes remained upon the picture of her mother on the back cover of the book, but when she heard the Lady's questions her piercing blue eyes glanced up to the lady's face
"I...Im fine"
Evelyn told her with a soft smile upon he rlips, but on hearing her next question Evelyn frowned just a little, she felt her heart skip a beat and fulter in her chest, her stomach twisted and she swallowed hard trying to rid the bile that rose in the back of her throat, it was then that she lowered her hand and pulled at the sleeves of her cardigan to cover herself once more, she shook her head and looked down toward the book shelves as she began to stutter her answer
"I..uhh.n...no...no"
she said as she tucked a little of her long dark curls behind her pale dainty ear and went beack to looking at the books upon the shelves infront of her.

Esme eyes searched the young girl as she waited for her to respond to her question, she knew she had said it upbruptly but that was just her mothering side taking over, she couldent stand to see children abused especailly ones as nice as this young girl. Esme mentally slapped herslef here she was asking this girl if she had been beaten at home when she didnt even know her name. She smiled her charming smile. "Silly me, here I am asking you all kinds of personal questions and I dont even know your name" she said with a sigh she really did feel stupid. "Im Esme Cullen by the way" she said hoping the girl wouldent think she was some creepy stalker or social worker. "I live on the edge of town with my husband and our seven adopted children" she said trying to make it clear that she was just being motherly. "Do you wanna go get some coffe, im sorry if i scared you" she said taking in the girl looking at the books. Esme knew that she shouldent pry or get to close to this girl but she liked her and wanted to get to know her better so she could help her in her situation

as Evelyn stood there, she listened to the womans words, the woman she know knew as Esme, slolwy looking to the beautiful woman, Evelyn's blue eyes widened with almost disbelief "& children?" she whispered almost to herself, she bit her lower lip gently as she was offered a coffee, she knew she shouldnt really, and as nice as this lady was to her, she was still a stranger
"I..uhhh...I had better be getting home...my father will be wondering where i am"
she told Esme, although that was half a lie, for her father probably didnt give a crap about where she was,
"Oh ummm....my Names Evelyn....Evelyn winters"
Evelyn told her almost forgetting to introduce herself, she woul dhave held her hand out for the woman to shake, but well, she knew better, especially with her sores. tucking a little of her long dark curls behind her ear, Evelyn looked to the woman once more as she shuffled her feet upon the woodern floor, the brusing upon her face hiden in the shadows,

Esme smiled, she dindnt want to intimadate the girl so she had told her a little something about her life, she knew that alot of people thought that it was werid that she had so many children but she loved it she couldent imagine her life wiithout her children. "Yes, I know I look young, but those kids are my life" she replied she knew the girl said it more to herself but she felt like she had to reply to make her see she was harmless. She sighed she knew the girl was giving an excuse about the coffe thing, she was sure the girl needed someone to talk to and Esme was a great listener "Oh I inist, please im not as crazy as i look, i just got ahead of myself, i care so much about children I dont like to see them hurt" she said her eyes turning a bit red as if she might cry but she knew she couldent do that. "Well Evelny its nice to meet you" she said as she watched the girl fidget she really was cute. "If you dad is worried I can give gim a quick call and talk to him if you like" she added almost knowing the girl would say less knowing she wouldent want to get her father involved

Evelyn still wasnt sure, this Esme seemed genuine and all, but evelyn didnt want to get into anymore trouble, she buit her lower lip gently, still fidgeting on the spot as she fiddled with the sleeve of her tatty cardigan, but as she heard Esme mention ringing her father Evelyn looked up at her with almost frantic eyes as she shook her head
"no...no its...its ok...I...Im sure he wont mind"
she lied as she manged a weak smile
"Iuhhh...I'll come with you....its ok...you dont need to call my father"
she insisted as she swallowed hard, even the mention of her father made her heart flutter and pound in her tiny little chest, her fingers ran one last time over the soine of one of the books before she turned to walk from the store inorder to have coffee with this woman, although she waited for Esme's lead, and well, Evelyn wasnt planning on drinking anything, for she had no money, atleast not on her, she tucked a little more of her long hair behind her pale ear as she glanced to the lady
"I...uhh..im sorry...i havent lived her long...w..where's the coffee shop?"
she asked some what curiously.

Esme smiled when Evelny said yes she knew she had hit a cord with young girl, she hadnet seen a ton of abuse cases but she read enough books on the subject to know the signs of a girl in trouble and this girl met every one of them. She smiled "Yes, ok sounds great lets go" she said as she began to walk towards the exit, she stoped when the girl talked again. "Its not that far across the street, and dont worry on paying im kidnaping you so the least i can do is pay" she said with a smile as she took the lead making sure the gilr was behind her, she knew Evelyn proablay didnt have enough or any money at all so Esme had no problem paying she liked helping people and being nice

Evelyn smiled as she ehard Esme's words
"thank you"
she whispered as she began to follow the woman from the book shop and toward the coffee shop, following her closely, but she seemed a little on edge, as she glanced around herself, almost as if she were making sure noone was watching, or as if she were trying to look out for someone, in order to avoid them, she inhaled deepkly and exhaled slowly as she whispered almost in audibly to herself, not realisng that she was in the presence of a vampire, with extremly good hearing
"I wish you would kidnap me away...forever"
her eyes closed for a brief moment and her hand moved to he rlocket once more before she stepped down off of the pavement, splashing ever so slightly in a small puddle "Of great" she mumbled to herself as she looked down, the puddle had soaked through her shoe. Evelyn grimaced slightly and shook her foot a little as she went to continue walking.

Esme smiled she liked to make people happy and help them out. "Your welcome of course its no problem" she said with a smile as they walked into the coffe shop. She saw her looking around a bit on edge, she knew it wasent suprised, most people were a little wary of being with the cullens because they were so precived to be beautiful and bit weary. Esme looked at her as she heard that she would kidnap her, she would do that willingly but she didnt know if Evelyn meant it, so she didnt metion it just yet. She saw her step into a puddle she opened the door and waited for her to come in, she smiled "That stinks they should dry in the coffe shop" she said as they got in line. "What would you like?" she asked so they could order and sit down and have a real talk

Evelyn glanced to Esme and smiled softly as she stepped intot he coffee shop and stood inline with her, as Esme asked ehr what she wanted Evelyn hesitated for a moment, pausing in thought as she glanced up at the board, bitting her lower lip gently, Evelyn was just going to ask for a glass of water, but on seeing the words hot chocolate, she changed her mind, glancing back to Esme, she seemed just a tiny bit more relaxed in this womans presence
"may...may i have a hot chocolate?"
she asked the wonderfull woman curiously, as if she were asking a question that meant alot to her, it was mearly the way she had been brought up, in fear that if she didnt not ask properly, she would get a beating for being rude.

Esme smiled s they walked into the coffe shop, she smiled when she saw her scan the menu she loved the idea, of having a human who could eat or drink, She smiled broadly "Of course you can, and please order something to eat" she said with sigh as she paid for her food and they went to sit down in a booth. She couldent imagine what her family would say about hanging with a human girl. They would say she absoultly crazy, she couldent get that close to a human. They sat down and smiled "So what grade are you in school?" she asked with a smile wanting to get to know her better

When Esme mentioned picking something to eat too, Evelyn hesitated, she didnt want to speand this ladies money, but she was hungrey, very hungrey infact, she bit he rlower lip gently as she glanced over the cakes and other things, picking out a flapjack to eat with her drink, following Esme back to the table she sat herself down and watched the flawless beauty before her, when asked a question Evelyn had to think about the answer before she actually answered it,
"I...ummm....im in grade 11....but i should be in grade 12 for my age...because i moved her from a different school they decided to keep me back a year"
she told Esme with a gently smile upon he rlips, although it was clear she was a little annoyed by this fact, for Evelyn was a rather intelegant student.

Esme smiled when the girl picked out a flapjack she loved to make people happy, and it seemed like a meal was all the girl needed on a cold day like today. Esme loved being with people vampire or other. But being with humans was one of her favorite things to do. She found them so fasinating, they were so complicated and she really loved to get to know them. She smiled as she listened to her talk, she liked listening to people and hearing their problems. "Oh wow that sucks honey, how come you have moved so much?" she asked she liked to know as much as she could, She felt so confortbale with this girl she wished she could take her home but she knew it couldent be done, Esme would just have to stay close to her now, Esme really liked her so she wanted to stay invested in her life. "Can I ask Evelyn what happened to your mom? All i know is that shes a writer" she said with a smile she knew her mom was a big part of this girl and she wanted see their relantionship

Eve;lyn smiled and agreed that it sucked to be kept back a year, she smiled softly as she looked to Esme, she was going to answer her question about moving, but Esme continued to ask the questions, and well as son as Evelyn's mother came into the conversation Evelyn's head lowered and her smile faded just alittle, her hand, once more came subconsiously to her locket aroun dher neck as she elt a small shakey sigh escape her pale pink lips, it took her a while to gather herself, but she soon asnwered the woman that was being so kind to her
"My....my mother died....not that long ago, that...thats why me and my father came to move to Forks, you see...my...my father couldnt cope...with my mothers death...and i wasnt doing well either, he figured that a fresh start might be best....but i still miss being back in Texas...being were her memory is, I....I miss her so much"
she told Esme, opening up so easily, and not understanding quite why, for thias woman was a stranger to her, and yet she wanted to tell the lady, she wanted to talk to her, it felt so good to just talk, to have someone to listen, although as she finished her speach, the end trailed off into a whisper, and Evelyn's blue eyes glanced to her mug of hot chocolate.

Esme smiled at her as she seemed to agree with her, she waited for her answers she didnt know she was going to answer her questions she wanted to know her well because she felt so motherly towards her and she didnt know why it was like she almost felt like she could be this girls mother. She sighed she didnt want to see her sad but she was interested. "Oh my god honey im so sorry i didnt know that" she said with a sad frown, she leaned across the table and placed her hand on hers she didnt think about the tempature diffrence because she had been holding a coffe which made her temperature almost human. She looked at her when she said her father couldent cope "What do you mean he couldent cope, Evelyn is he drinking or hurting you or both?" she asked concern if that was true she knew she might have to do something for her. She looked at her when she said she missed her mom "Of course you do, you wont ever forget her no matter where you are" she said with a smile, she knew because she never forgot her parents. "You know you can tell me, I used to be married to an abusive husband it was tough to deal with but i ended up happy" she said trying to give her hope that things could get better. She didnt know why she felt she could tell her so much, but Esme wanted to help. She smiled at her "You know your only the second person i have told that to" she said being honest because the only other person she told was Carlisle it wasent somehitng she liked to advertise
