(Lucy's POV)
It was a normal day like always we got up and went to work then started to cook tea we ate then cleaned the house when there was a knock at the door I opened it to see a girl no older 9 stood there she seemed scared she had blood on her a lot of blood her hair was matted and blood was running down her arms she had a lock of hair in her hand clutching it to her chest she looked up at me "do you have any food?" She asked me as her other hand moved to her stomach "of course I do here come in sweetheart" she shook her head no
"is this your blood honey?"I asked she looked down and shook her head no "how about you come inside and we get you some food yea" the girl stayed still
"Lucy who's there?"tim shouted "a girl" I shouted back he came to the door
Tim came closer and the girl started to back away
"Honey it's okay this is my husband Tim"I told her
"I'm hungry"she said "when did you last eat?"I asked her "long time ago maybe a few days or weeks I can't remember"she told us "I tell you what sweetheart if you come in we'll give you food i promise"I said giving her a smile "you won't hurt me?" She asked
"of course we won't hurt you okay"I told her
"how about we go get you food okay no one's here to hurt you" I said holding out my hand for her to take
She took it and we lead her inside we got to the kitchen and she wasn't doing much she was just looking around "sweetheart let's get you sat at the table for some food okay"I said she nodded she sat on a chair and I got her some food she quickly ate it then she pulled her legs to her chest and started to cry
"Honey are you okay"I asked as I stroked her back
But she freaked out and started to cry more she jumped off the chair and ran to the corner of the room
"hey kiddo we won't hurt you I promise"Tim said and the girl looked up "can I have some more food?"she asked her small frame trembling and her voice shaky "of course sweetheart" I made her two sandwiches
"Here this should fill you up"I told her as I placed the plate next to her "thanks"she whispered as she took one of the sandwiches and ate it "are you sure I can have two?" She asked as she glanced at the second sandwich "of course sweetheart go ahead" she ate the second sandwich and moved a little closer to us she lent against a chair at the table as she still sat on the floor she yawned and her eyes were going droopy
"Sweetheart are you tired?" I asked her she nodded
"can I carry to our guest room you can sleep on the bed?"i told her and she nodded I scooped her into my arms and took her to the guest room I tucked her in and told her goodnight just as I was leaving she sat up quickly "wait!" She said loudly as she shot up
"What's wrong sweetheart?"I asked her
"I don't want to sleep alone" she whined as a few tears rolled down her cheeks "oh sweetheart come here it's okay you don't have to sleep alone okay"I told her she nodded I picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder and fell asleep I slowly walked to mine and Tim's room where Tim lay on our bed
"Hey you good baby?" Tim asked me
"Yea hey do you mind if she sleeps with us?she's scared to sleep alone" I asked him "of course I don't here she can go between us"Tim said patting next to him I lay the girl down and hopped in bed he f to her I fell asleep.
The next morning tim was already awake and the girl was asleep next to me still I went out the bedroom and saw Tim on the sofa watching tv I walked over to him "Morning baby" I said as I gave him a kiss "morning lu how's the girl" Tim asked "she's still asleep when she wakes up I'm going to try get her to have a shower she's still got that blood on her shirt "that's a good idea and we need to know her name too" he said as he turned back to the tv I heard a small whimper come from the bedroom I rushed in to see the girl whimpering and crying and she started to shake a lot I held her down so she wouldn't hurt herself I stroked her hair and she woke up she looked around and then at me I was holding her a little still she sat up and pulled her legs into her chest
"d-did you hurt me?" She asked me "why were you holding me down?" She asked "sweetheart you had a nightmare you was shaking so I had to hold you down a bit so you wouldn't hurt yourself okay I promise I won't ever hurt you" I told her "okay" she said as she looked down "sweetheart you know I never got your name" I told her "I can't tell you otherwise you'll send me to my parents" she said as she got off the bed and looked down at her top where blood was
"honey can I get you some fresh clothes and you can take a shower" I asked her "can you help me?" She asked "sure only if you want me to tho" I said "do I have to take my clothes off?" She asked "that's how you get clean clothes on and wash your body sweetie" I told her "can you help with the washing part I don't want to look at my stomach" she told me "why's that sweetheart?" I asked her "I have bruises and scars i don't like seeing them" she said in a low voice it was obvious she was sad "it's okay honey I'll help you okay"I said taking her hand "what about my clothes I don't have any other clothes"she said "you can burry a baggy hoodie and shorts then later we'll go get you an outfit from the store okay"I told her she nodded
"let's go get you cleaned up okay"I told her "okay,Lucy can you carry me?" she asked me "of course I can"I told her I picked her up and took her to the bathroom I filled up the bath with enough water it was warm
I helped the girl take off her clothes and get in the bath there was a lot of blood on her stomach and she had a small cut on her stomach "sweetheart how'd you get this cut I asked her then I looked down she had a cut on her leg too then I looked closer there was more then a few cuts in her thighs and stomach
I finished doing her hair and helped her out the bath I dried her off and did her hair in French braids and got her dressed into one of my baggy hoodies and pair of shorts I took her into the kitchen and got out the med kit "sweetheart can I treat those cuts on your legs and stomach?"I asked her softly "okay but be gentle" she told me as she pulled down the shorts and took off the hoodie I put plasters on the smaller cuts then bandages on the larger ones "there we are sweetheart all done" I told her as I put the rubbish and wipes in the bin
"Lucy?"she asked "yes honey"I said "are you going to send me away from here and back to my family?"she asked scared "well it depends who can take you in sweetheart but first we need to know who you are" I told her.
