"My name is Thalia Galadriel Skywalker." the girl said. "I'm thirteen years old. What about you?" "Hope Amelia Solo." I said. "I'm sixteen. So, what's your story?" "My parents were killed when I was eight." Thalia said. "I was sent to United Voices Orphanage. The Hellhole. I escaped a few weeks ago, and I've been living on the streets ever since." I winced. I'd heard horror stories about United Voices. "So that's why you haven't had a proper meal in five years." I said. "Yeah." Thalia said. "What's your story?" "My parents are abusive." I said. "Dad's an alcoholic. Mom just hates me. I ran away last month." "What's going to happen to me?" Thalia asked. "Where am I going to go?" I smiled. "You're staying here." I said. "This is your home now."
