Prologue (continued)

"I'm so sorry Dehana." A voiced said behind Dehana.
"Its okay, Sarah" Dehana said still washing the dishes in pain.
Sarah saw Dehana was struggling to get the dishes, so she brought her a stool, "Here, use this."
Dehana smiled and stood on top of the stool.
"Dehana, tell me the truth...did you do it?"
Dehana looked at her best friend, "I didn't sarah, I swear!"
Sarah frowned, "Dehana you are lying, what would your mother say about you lying?"
"Don't bring my mother in this, for I am keepinh my word, I didn't do it."
Sarah shook her head and walked away, "Dehana...oh Dehana."
Dehana rolled her eyes and continue to wash the dishes.

The girls stayed in their rooms and talked. Dehana and Sarah and a group of other girls played a game.
All of sudden the doorbell rang.
"Who might be leaving now?" Dehana asked.
Sarah shrugged.
"Children line up, we have a new girl." Madam yelled rushing to the door.
The girls quickly lined up, including Dehana.
Madam opened the door, and there stood a tall man in a black coat with a small girl, Dehana's age beside him.
The girl had shoulder length brown hair, and brown eyes, and a shy freckled face.
Dehana waved, the little girl shyly waved back. Sarah elbowed Dehana, "Ow, what was that for?"
"You mustn't communicate with the newcomer now." Sarah whispered.
Dehana rolled her eyes,"I see no reason to elbow me."
Sarah shushed Dehana.
Madam and the tall man talked and after awhile Madam grabbed the child's hand and pulled her inside and waved the man goodbye.
"Goodbye now."
The girl looked at the girls lined up. She was scared already.
"Child, what is your name?" Madam asked.
"M-My name?" The girl asked.
"Well of course, I don't have all day." Madam asked.
"V-Victoria..." The girl finally said.
"Such a beautiful name, don't you think Sarah." Dehana whispered.
Sarah nodded.
"Well Victoria, Dehana will show you where you will sleep and what you'll wear." Madam said constantly checking her watch.
Dehana smiled.
Victoria nodded shyly, looking at the girls trying to see who Dehana was.
"Dehana!" Madam yelled.
Dehana quickly scurried to the front, "Yes Madam."
"Show Victoria where she'll sleep and wear."
"Yes madam." Dehana smiled, "Follow me!"

"This is your bed, next to mine!" Dehana smiled, finishing up the tour for Victoria.
Victoria just silently nodded.
Sarah walked in and sat on Dehana's bed, "Time for Lunch, today I'm making Meatloaf."
Dehana smiled, "My favorite!"
Dehana looked at Victoria, Victoria was nervously itching her hand.
"Why do you scratch your hand like that."
Victoria looked at her hand, it was ashy from the itching, "Sometimes I don't even know I do that." Victoria replied still looking down at her hand. Dehan laughed, "That's funny."
Victoria gave her a shy smile.

The girls enjoyed lunch and playtime together.
"Mama, used to bathe me with Ruskus." Victoria laughed.
"Who is Ruskus, is he your sugar daddy?" Dehana asked.
"Ruskus is my dog and what's a sugar daddy?" Victoria replied.
"I don't know, but my mama used o say my daddy was a stupid sugar daddy." Dehana shrugged.
Victoria shrugged as well.
The two continued to play, but then Daisy came in snickering pointing at Victoria, "You've got it now you little sissy!"
"Watch your mouth, you big bully." Dehana yelled.
"Shut it, you child of hell!" Daisy snickered then walked away.
"What did I do?" Victoria asked.
"I don't -------"
"VICTORIA, YOU...YOU!" madam came yelling.
Victoria and Dehana shot straight up.
madam came running into the room and slapped Victoria.
"What was that fo (Victoria has a British accent, so she meant for.)?"
Madam grabbed her by the neck, "You devil!"
Victoria struggled to pull from her strong grasp.
Dehana started hitting Madam violently, hoping it will make her lose her hold, but it only made things worse.
Madam shoved Dehana and held Victoria even harder. Victoria's face got read, then slowly turned purple.
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HER!!!" Dehana yelled.
"Then so be it!" Madam said keeping her grip.
"Call the police, Sarah!" Dehana yelled.
Sarah ran to the telephone and called the police. Dehana continued to hit Madam, "Madam, don't do this!!!".
Dehana cried still hitting her.
Victoria's eyes slowly closed, and finally Madam let go and Victoria collapsed on the ground.
"Next time you'll learn not to go through my stuff!"
Madam walked away, shoving a couple of girls who watched the incident.
Dehana dropped to the ground and helped Victoria, Victoria was grasping for air.
Dehana kissed Victoria's forehead and sang, "
Mi dulce niña ... mantener la respiración, no termina hasta que llama.
Mi dulce niña...mantenerse fuerte, primo recoge usted que después de todas sus caídas"
It was a song her grandmother sang to her.
Victoria slowly opened her eyes. Dehana immediately gave her a hug, "Thank God!"
Sarah smiled and the girls cheered, everyone except Daisy.
"You should have died."
Dehana rolled her eyes,"She is the one who must die."
Dehana and Victoria laughed, but Victoria coughed more than laughed.
