The Mafia And His Angel

chapter 1: Injury

-Lianne-

My name is Lianne Sophie. I don't know my surname because I didn't meet my parents. Aunt Ana told me that my mom left me in an orphanage. But now I live under a bridge here at the park. The orphanage got burned and all the kids and old people died except me. I managed to survive when Aunt Ana pushed me over the window and I fell into a pond. I didn't know what to do and I didn't have any home to go to. So I wandered the city of NewvYork.

I learned to live alone at the age of 10, now I'm 17 years old. My house is made out of cardboard boxes and sacks.

I earn money from sweeping the park and sometimes I collect plastic bottles and exchange them for money or food.

It's already 7:00 pm and I'm walking in the park with Lucas. He is my stuffie panda. He was the only thing I got when the fire started and I held onto  him since then. 

It's already night time and I'm walking by the park while humming.
It's already dark but I'm used to walking at night. Because there are no people. While walking I heard someone or something following me. I looked back and see a handsome man dressed in a  black suit and he has holding his stomach in pain.

I quickly rushed to him.

"E-excuse me mister? Are you hurt?" I asked him in a panicked voice.
He looked at me in the eye then he passed out.
"He-hey!!! Mister!!" I tried to shake him but he won't budge. I quickly searched hs pocked for a coin luckily I found one and I ran to the nearest payphone.With shaky hands dialed 911.

"Good evening what's your emergency?"
A lady asked.
"I-im at Clevefawn Park there's a man that got stabbed in the stomach please come quickly!!! He's loosing too much blood!"
I shakily said while keeping my eyes at the man.

"On our way ma'am. Please follow what i tell you. Find a clean cloth and put it on tip of his wound and apply pressure to stop the bleeding."  I dropped the phone and ran to the man.

I put my head against his chest and listened for a heartbeat he has it but it's weak.
I ripped my shirt and applied it to his wound. He was loosing his breath. Then I heard the ambulance siren.

"OVER HERE!!! HELP! PLEASE!!!" I shout. Medics came and I backed away from them.
Then woman walked over.

"Thank you for helping him ma'am. You did well on his wound although the cloth was dirty." She said and smiled at me.
"You're welcome ma'am. He was lucky I saw him." I said.
"What's your name miss?"
"My name is Sophie" i replied.
"Very well then Sophie, Goodnight"

They took off and I sat on a nearby bench.
I let out a sigh.

"What in the world just happened?" I murmured. I noticed my hands filled with blood. I quickly ran to a pond and washed my hands rinsing the blood off

As I returned under the bridge I prayed that the man was safe and alive.

"Dear lord. Please guide him and keep him safe. Heal his wounds and bless him with your grace. In the name of Jesus, Amen."

New day tomorrow. Same stuff to do.
I thought and fell asleep.
