I was a little apprehensive reading this mostly because I've generally avoided reading anything Twilight related if at all possible. It's jut not for me. However, the first couple paragraphs have me HOOKED. Her home life sounds crazy and it's obvious why she wants to escape. I can't wait for the story behind her mother getting locked away!
I have noticed a few grammatical errors, but nothing too major.
I do think the sentences are a little stilted, maybe you could tweak them a little to have them flow better. "I walked down the stairs through the living room to the door. Stepping outside, the noise of Brooklyn filled my ears, and the cool wind hit my face. Now, here I was: standing outside..."
I'm surprised at how trusting Emmett is. Why was he at the airport to begin with? Their banter is cute, though!
I really loved the second chapter. Her panic was clear, and you can really see how beat down she's become. Singing "Smile" as she thinks she's about to die was so heartwrenching. I think a little more description of the forest and environment in general would do wonders for the feel and tone of this story.
Great job otherwise!
