That night the kids spent the night at the CAS workplace, they were scared and confused, they said they would help them, not leave them... The kids did a good looking around from their seats and got used to the phones going off every minute, the kids were getting sleepy, but didn't want to fall asleep in such a strange place, so Aiden looked to his sisters and said, "I'll stay up, to make sure no one will hurt us, you girls get some sleep" the 2 oldest girls nodded, and laid down on the floor, chuddling with each other, then they looked to Ava, she looked to Aiden and asked, "no pain?" Aiden smiled, he smiled really big, biggest he ever did in his 12 years, "no pain" he said, Ava smiled then went in-between Chloe and Dawn, and they fell asleep, Aiden looked out the window and smiled again, they were finally out, finally out of the hell hole, that they once called their home, Ava didn't have to be scared to fall asleep tonight, their dad wasn't stumbling down the hall to her room, they weren't getting beaten, their parents were behind bars, and they didn't have to be scared of their parents threats, they didn't have to be scared of their parents ever again... They were, free.
The next morning the kids were waking up by Ruby, Brittany, Liza, and Clint, they got the kids all awake then they hit the road, "we finally found a place for all of you" said Ruby, "but you kids have to behave" the kids looked to eachother then at the ladies and the man, then looked out the windows.

When they got to the house the kids took a good look on the outside, big front yard, green grace, lovely flowers, even a rope swing on a big Brown tree, with loss of leaves, the house was pretty big, it was a white house, with a few Windows on top to bottom, and rocks for the path, Ava had fun jumping on them to get to the door, then, the kids were there, face to face with strangers, people they were gonna live with! People they didn't even know, the kids were putting their own safety in the hands of total strangers! And they had no choice but to...
"Hi, I'm Becca, and this is my husband Matt, it's very nice to meet you, what's your names, the kids looked to each other, and sighed, "I'm Aiden" "I'm Chloe" "I'm Dawn" "and that's Ava, she don't talk" said Aiden, "oh? Why's that?" Asked Becca, "cause she don't" snapped Aiden, "okay, well, how old are y'all?" Asked Matt, "I'm 12, Chloe is 9, Dawn is 7, and Ava is 3" said Aiden, the foster parents smiled, then two boys and two girls came to the door, "oh! Children, these are our children" said Becca, "Alex, he's 12, Zack, he's 10, Alice, she's 7, and Maria, she's 5" said Matt, the kids waved, "children, this is Aiden, Chloe, Dawn, and Ava" said Becca, "do you want to show them to their rooms?" Their kids nodded, the kids then follow the others inside, "bye children" said the ladies and the man, the kids then followed the others up the stairs and to their new rooms.
"It'll take some time but they'll warm up to you" said Ruby, "we're do what it takes to make them comfortable" said Matt, "great" said Brittany with a smile, "do they have any bags, or anything?" Asked Becca, "they really don't have anything, but here" said Clint, and handed Becca a card, "you need to make an appointment at child's youth, they help children who come into care with nothing" "great, thank you!" Said Becca, "no thank you" said Clint, "we'll be back in a couple of weeks to see how they're doing" said Ruby, "great, we'll mark our calendars" said Becca with a chuckle, "great, have a nice day" said Ruby with a chuckle, then the ladies and the man waved bye and got into their car, Becca and Matt watched as they drove away, then they closed the door.
