Chapter 1

"I have to go back to America..."

In her bedroom, Candy was crying almost every night. She had arrived in England a few weeks ago. After her adventures in Mexico, she had been sold to a child seller who had taken her to England. The family, who had bought her, was not really kind. But after living with the Reagan's, as a maid, and after having the stables as a bedroom, her little bedroom was pretty and the bosses weren't as bad as the Reagan's. But she barely saw them, she was working in the kitchen, washing the dishes, peeling potatoes and cleaning vegetables and doing other multiple tasks. Her days were long and tiresome. Every night she would pray God to get her out of that situation. She thought about her friends, Anthony, Alistair, Archibald and she cried. But she had to be strong, life has not been easy for her; abandoned as a baby on an orphanage doorstep, she lived happy there, until her best friend Annie was adopted by the Brightons. She met a Scottish with a kilt that she nick name the prince of the hill who was playing a snail serenade on his bagpipes. He had left something behind, a badge; she picked it up and kept it. She rushed into saying yes when someone came to adopt her for the Reagans because she confused their badge with her prince of the hill's. So she found despair and heartache at the Reagans, but no prince of the hill. There was a little light at the end of the dark tunnel when she met the Reagan's cousins, Anthony, Alistair and Archibald... and now she was in England working for nothing, because she was bought... How can she go back to America? When she went out to the market every morning to buy bread and vegetables, she had met a young boy about 17 years old who thought she was adorable. He was protecting her when he was there. He's name was Jack Dawson, he was an artist and he sold his drawings for a living. That was Candy's favourite part of the day, going to the market and meet Jack. She always went there happy. She got out of her room to go to the market and buy some food.

- Hi Candy! Said Jack smiling

- Hi Jack! Said Candy smiling

- What's your chore today?

- Potatoes...

- It's so good to hear someone saying "potatoes" with the American accent! That's going to be heavy, I'll come and help you...

- Thanks Jack, that's really nice of you

- Come on, I think it's a crime to make children work this way...

- I don't really have the choice...

- Yes, you do, come and live with me...

- But... you're a boy...

- You're my little American sister, who need help

- I want to go back to America...

- And I can help you... I don't have a lot of money, but I can manage...

- I'm going to think about it, ok Jack?

They walked to the potato table and they bought a lot of potatoes and other vegetables. Jack helped her carry the basket which was very heavy.

- Those people are overseers! Said Jack

- Well I am their slave in a way, I was sold to them ...

- You've suffered a lot, Candy, I can help you. If you have the slightest problem, come and see me, and I will protect you, ok? I'm going to show you where I live...
