As i woke, i saw a woman middle aged and had long brown hair. She had green, welcoming eyes her curled eyelashes were fluttering as she talked.

"I uh- yeah im Riley" i managed

The woman nodded. "Im Karen, your new mom or guardian i guess"

I looked around confused the house i was in had to other little kids Auggie, and a little girl. She waved she had long brown hair in two braids. Her outift was a light pink lon sleeve shirt with the eifel tower and a skirt. .

"Thats Mary Anne. Shes going to be your step sister i suppose." The woman, Karen said in a mono tone voice.

I got up finally i was lying on a couch, it was brown and soft. With pillows on the circular shape.

Mary anne finally spoke up "im 10. Im sorry your parents were mean" she said looking down playing with her braids

I gave her a faint smile "thats okay im here now, im safe and thats all that matters."

Auggie nodded and sat down obviously shocked by all the things that had just happened to him.

"My daddy was mean to. He would hit me when i was bad." Mary anne added

Karen nodded "thats why we wanted to adopt someone like you. We know what it feels like."

I looked around but then it hit me- "where are my parents? What happened to them?"

"Honey there going to a special place. To help them" Karen gestured to the window. Cops were still outside handling the situation.

The answer wasnt that clear but i kind of understood. A mental house i suppose.

I appreciated there welcoming attitude but I couldn't trust in them to simply.

"You wont be going to school for the next couple of days. Your school also has to find a new teacher. Your friend did the right hing you know" Karen explained

A tiny part of me went yes! But after all this, i dodnt feel much like cheering.

i stood up

"Your room is upstairs. Marry anne, show her." Mary anne got up and lead me upstairs.

"We could share a room if you want. My mom said its not a good idea because of 'your experiences'" she made air quotes when she had said that.

"No really, id love it. Ive never had a sister. "

Shortly after, Auggie followed us upstairs.

"Auggie this is your room." Mary Anne showed Auggie a room right across from ours.

He went inside and layed on the bed playing with a tablet Karen must have given him. The poor kid. He was so young and it mustve been so much to take in. As soon as Mary Anne left, i went by Auggie.

I slid next to him "you okay little fella?" I sayed sympathetically

He nodded but a tear fell down his face. I hugged him "its ok auggie. Were safe now."

He started sniffling "but i was scared. Every night id be hurt" I confessed "and now, here, I definitely dont."

He wiped his tears "dont worry auggie. Hes watching over."
