did they seem afraid of you? ( open )

Marissa had let nearly all of her Pokemon out to explore before
she went to bed the night before. She did so often, so they
didn't feel cramped. They always came back, seeing as she
trained them right. Though, the next morning, every thing
changed.
"MARISSA!" A shout sounded from downstairs. The young girl
squeaked and stood up, rushing down the stairs without thought.
She encountered a large man at the bottom - her step father.
"What is this, you little brat?" He growled, motioning to all
the Pokemon sitting on the porch.
"Those are Pokemon, Dave. We went over this." Marissa mumbled
tiredly.
"Are you getting sassy with me, girl?" He grabbed her arms,
frowning. Her eyes went wide as she shook her head. "Sure seemed
like it. And you know what happens when you tick dear ole Dave
off, right?" He breathed. She shrinked at the smell of beer in
his breath. She struggled against his grip, unable to break
free. That's when he struck. He brought up his leg and kicked it
into her thigh, pushing her over. He then proceded to punch and
kick at her sides. Although his blows didn't connect much due to
his horrible aim, the ones that did hurt and would most likely
bruise.
"Catty!" A growl sounded behind Dave. Delcatty stood in a
defensive position, a snarl on her face. The rest of Marissa's
Pokemon were going wild outside of the house. While distracted,
Marissa pulled away and stumbled up the stairs, wincing in pain.
She ran into her room and slammed the door. Tears streamed from
her eyes as she finally decided that she would become a full
time trainer and live on the road - anything to get away from
him. She packed several things into a dufflebag. Clothes,
blankets, and some irreplaceable things like photos. She then
slipped on her shoes and cap, pulling on her trainer bag and
running into her brother's room. She began packing his stuff as
well - she wasn't leaving him in the hands of Dave. She grabbed
his backpack and stuffed the things she couldn't fit into it -
like his small little toys and trinkets that their father gave
him before passing away. She grabbed his trainer bag and stuffed
it inside the backpack. She than began getting his shoes on
while he was asleep, him mumbling a bit.
"C'mon, Max. We're leaving." Marissa sniffled. Max rubbed his
eyes and held out his arms, wanting to be carried. She slipped
he trainer bag on him and the backpack before picking him up and
putting her hat on him to hide his bed head. Good thing she
liked baseball caps the most! The older sibling grabbed the
dufflebag and walked back downstairs.
"And where do you think you're going, Missy?" Dave growled,
turning away from Delcatty.
"We're leaving." She sniffled. He lunged at her again, like
before. She squeaked and held Max closer.
"Catttttyyyy!" Delcatty screeched, lightning shooting out of her
mouth and electrocuting Dave. Marissa squeaked, stunned, but
opened the door and ran, her starter behind her along with Max's
Quilava rushing after, eyes wide with fear. Once they were on
the beaten road and down a bit, Marissa stopped and put her
brother down, her adrenaline gone and the pain from before
returning. Max lumbered over to a tree on the side of the road,
laying down beside it. Delcatty trotted over to him and allowed
him to rest his head on her side while Quilava shimmied under
his arm, like a teddy bear. Marissa brought the rest of the
stuff over and sat with them. She pulled her knees up to her
chest and began crying.

Jamie hesitated when she saw Marissa crying, but quickly made a
decision. She walked over to the girl and her brother and sat
beside them, not saying a word.

Marissa sniffled when Jamie sat next to her. "O-oh, hey, Jamie."

"Marissa, what's wrong? Or... do you not want to talk about it?"
She wanted to be there for her, but she didn't want to force it
upon her.

Marissa didn't know if she wanted to talk about it. Though,
finally telling a friend would relieve some of her worries,
wouldn't it? "Dave, my stepfather, came home sometime this
morning. He woke me up and complained about the Pokemon..." she
paused, sniffling and checking to be sure Max was still asleep.
Once she was sure he was, she turned back to Jamie. "He began to
kick and punch me, like he's done before when my mom was out. I
finally decided to run away, and I took Max with me."

"Oh my god," she gasped, attempting to comfort her friend with a
hug. "Well, if you need somewhere to stay, you can always stay
at my house."

She accepted the hug, sobbing. "Are you sure? I dont want to
intrude."

She nodded, determined. "I'm sure. You can come and stay with me
and my dad as long as you need."

She tried to pull her friend into a hug again. "Thank you so
much, Jamie. I don't know how I'll repay you."

She again hugged her back, smiling gently. "You don't need to
repay me. Now, come on. There's an extra room with two small
beds, well, two extra rooms. You and Max can choose whether you
want to stay in the same room or not."
