Chapter 1

The bitter cold wind hit against my body like daggers the rain pelting at me like a million little needles, my body already aching from the pain of my last beating . I don't have my jacket I put that on my little sister who is currently clinging to my back I can hear her crying and shivering. The pain is unbearable but I push forward knowing it wont be long before I get to the safety of the abandoned playground where I have a blanket hidden in a tree and we have the protection of the play tunnel I send a silent pray that that it doesn't start to snow tonight. I feel myself getting out of breath I need to stop for a bit I accidently drop the bag with a few supplies of ours in it and my guitar case, I stop at a startbucks and decide to go in and get warm for a little bit.

"Hey Milly Moo do you want a warm drink" I ask my sister I feel her nod against my shoulder I walk inside there is only one other couple in here I go up to the counter and order a 2 small hot choclates and give her the money she looks at me funny then again I proberly have blood coming from my lip and possibly a gash on my head im dripping with water and have a kid clinging to my back, I can only really see out of one eye so im guessing it is bruised and swollen.. I go to a table and gently drop my sister of my back she scoots into the booth and I grab some napkins to dry us of with. I start with my sister I wipe the tears away and dry her a little bit I think my jacket is protecting her well for now.

"Are you ok mate?" I ask her she looks up at me with her big soft brown eyes they are lined with tears again it breaks my heart seeing her cry she just nods. I don't think she has a proper understanding of what is happening she is only 3 and I try to shield her from the worst. if it was up to me she wont have to experience the horrors of this world she is such a sweet innocent child. The lady brings over our drinks I quickly take a sip of my sister drink to ensure it isn't two hot. I hold the mug and let it warm my hands up before taking a sip feeling the warmth seep through my body.my head goes a but fuzzy and starts pounding I place my head in my hands.

"excuse me are you two girls ok" I hear someone ask us her oice is soft I look up a little to see an blond girl standing in front of us. I nod my head slightly a wave of dizziness rushes over me, all the sudden I am overcome by blackness.

I hear a constant beeping I open my eye only to quickly close it due to the brightness of the room then I quickly open my eye and look around for my sister I don't see her but I see the girl from starbucks

"wheres Milly Moo." I ask panicking she better not have been taken back to the house or into foster care I cant loose her. I start pulling the drips out of my arms and rip the oxygen mask of and try to stand.yea that really hurt

"hey sweetie calm down I guess your talking about Amelia she is outside with my fiancé, I can bring her in for you, hop back into bed sweetie" the lady says her voice is calm and I can tell she is teeling the truth I slipde back into bed and she leaves. I look down and see that I have a cast on my arm and I splint on my knee She comes back in with a man following her with my little sister in his arms she is chatting away and he is nodding and smiling at her, smiling the way a father should smile at a daughter. She sees me and instantly reaches out for me the man brings her to me I watch him carefully almost waiting for him to lash out, he carefully places her next to me but she climbs onto of me causing me to gasp in pain but quickly change it to little chucklw so she doesn't know im in pain.

"you ok Milly Moo?" I ask her quietly im a bit nervouse having these stranger in the room and having them been left alone with my little sister.

"sleepy" she says and nuzzles into my chest I place move my hand through her hair.

"go to sleep bubby we are safe here"I tell her as I continue to run my hand through her light brown tight ringlets.

"sing" she ask I always sing her to sleep it is always the same song she loves it and it is exactly what I want for her
