Emma- Hey. My name is Emma. Im twelve years old, has brown hair, and lives in an orphanage. I live in an orphanage because..... well let me tell you the whole story.

/Flash back 4 years ago/

Emma- It has been five months since my mom died from a car crash. My life has gone down hill ever since. My dad beats me and says that it is all my fault that my mother had died. Twice a week my dad would bring over strangers to our house and he would lock me in my room.

One time a man tried getting in my room so I screamed and started to cry. Not long after that a police man came and knocked on the front door. I could hear my dad talking to the police officer downstairs. Then I heard the door shut and someone was coming upstairs.

I thought it was my dad coming to beat me for screaming and getting the cops called but no. It was a lady who tried to open my door but it was locked from the outside. When she finally got it unlocked she shut the door and said, ''Hello Emma. I'm here to take you away from your father because he beats, and locks you in here all the time, okay?''

I nodded my head and started to cry and pack my two sets of clothes that I have had since my mom passed away.  After I was finished I went downstairs to find my dad in handcuffs and being taken away by the officer.

I looked at the lady and said, ''Where will I go?'' She smiled, picked me up and said, ''You will go to Mrs. Anne's Orphanage. It is really nice there. You'll love it, I promise.'' I nodded and said, ''Please dont promise me anything. My mommy promised that my daddy would take care of me.''

She looked at me with tears and put me into her car and she dropped me off at the orphange. She walked in with me and brought me to Mrs. Anne. Then, she left. Mrs. Anne brought me to a room that already had four girls sleeping in seperate beds and there was one bed left.

She said, ''That is your bed. The girls will meet you tomrrow, okay sugar?'' I laughed a little at her calling me sugar. The last thing I heard was ''Goodnight Emma.'' Coming from Mrs. Anne.

I love it here already. I wonder if I will get adopted though. Then I drifted into a deep sleep and I was woken up in the morning by a girl who wasn't Mrs. Anne. She looked younger than her with her blonde long hair, green eyes, and a nice voice.

I looked at her and she said, ''You must be Emma.'' Then, the girl reached out her hand so I grabbed it and we both went downstairs to the meeting room. There were probaly ten people in there too. I nugded her sleeve and she looked down and said, ''It's okay. There just looking to adopt some kids.''

She then turned away. Ever kid that was at this orphange was down here. It looked like there were 23 boys from ages 2-16 and 25 well now 26 girls from ages 5-17. Once everyone left  who got adopted I sat in a chair. I didn't talk to anyone till a girl came up to me and said, ''Hello, my name is Nicky. I'm eight. Do you wanna be friends?''

She seemed nice so I said, ''Sure Nicky, I'll be your friend.'' She had a huge smile on her face now.

/Present Day   April 4, 2014/

''Wake up Emma!'' I heard my best friend, Nicky, yell in my ear. She pulled me out of bed. Literally! She grabbed my foot and I fell to the ground on my butt. We both went downstairs to see Mrs. Anne with a 'Your getting adopted face'.

After we saw her face we hugged and started to cry. Mrs. Anne came and held onto Nicky's shoulders and said, ''I know it's tough to say goodbye to your best friend, but she is getting adopted.'' I didn't want to leave Nicky here. I wonder who is adopting me?
