The long-lost sister (Book 1)

Chapter 1

Its been nine years since my last 'visit' to Townsville, but it feels like I've been here before. I just arrived the night before with my mom. I mean, yeah, I've been here when I was a little girl. I also remember a guy who gave me a stuffed animal to remember him by. All I remember of the guy is that he is green and he always wears cat-rimmed sunglasses.

"Bianca!" my mom yelled at me. "Y-yes, mom? You bellowed?" I retorted on that last part. "Bring me my food" she said. Oh c'mon, its right in front of you I thought. "Here, mom" I handed it to her.

"Oh and later, mommy hasta go to town and I can't leave you home alone, sweetie" she patronized me. "Fine, I'll go to town with you, mother" I said. Surprisingly, mother let me go exploring Townsville by myself. "You sure, mother? -very sarcastically- Wow, you must trust me enough. *sighs* Where should we meet up?" I asked. "Of course, mommy trusts you, honey. At City Hall" she said as she patronized me again, but I just nodded.

When I was alone in an alleyway, I pulled out my lamb that that guy gave me. Wonder if he remembers me I thought to myself. I sat up against the wall and tossed her up and caught her. I did this for awhile until I heard laughter in front of me. I looked up and instantly recognized the cat-rimmed sunglasses.

"Where did'ja get that?" he asked. "A friend of mine gave it to me to remember him by" I say, not letting on that I recognize him. "Ace, isn't that the lamb you gave that little girl?" a midget asked him. 

"Yeah, I t'ink yer right, Lil Arturo" the main guy said with an Italian New Yorker accent. Please don't recognize me I thought. He did though. "Aye, don' I know ya?" he asked me. "I don't think so" I said not looking at him.

"Ya sure?" he persisted me. "I'm pretty sure" I said convincing the snake-like one. "She sssssseemssssss sssssserioussssss, Ace" the snake-like one said. The guy, Ace, grabbed my chin and turned my face so I'm staring him in the eyes. "Ah, I remember ya now. Yer that little goirl I gave that lamb to. I also see you've taken care of her like I said to" Ace said letting go of my face.

"I remember her now too, Ace" the one called 'Lil Arturo' said. I heard my mom calling me in the distance. "I-I-I'm sorry but I hafta get back home" I said, when actually I wanted to hang out with them.

"Wait, where are you going, maybe I could walk ya there" Ace said. "I'm meeting my mom at City Hall" I said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder, which I didn't mind. When the two of us arrived at City Hall, Ace's eyes widened. "What is it, Ace?" I asked quietly.

"She's yer muther?" Ace asked tightening his grip around my shoulder. "Yeah and I've been trying to get away from her for years" I told him quietly. "Ace, what a surprise to see you" mother said approaching us. "The same couldn't be said 'bout ya, Sedusa" Ace said refusing to let his grip loosen on me. She very soon saw that he had his arm around my shoulder.

I could tell she wanted to rip me away from Ace, but I knew deep down he never wanted me to go home with my so-called mother. She actually tried ripping me away from him. "You know I'll make all your dreams come true, c'mon what do you say?" mother said. "Haven't we bin down dis road before?" Ace asked. "So what? Leave that brat and come work for me again, Ace. Whatever she told you, its a complete lie. I'll never lie to you. Who are you going to believe? Me or that little brat I kidnapped?" she said, not realizing she confessed in front of three girls that looked like me.

"Please don't make me go back with her, Ace" I pleaded. "I won't, darling, don't worry" he said pulling me behind him. The one girl who sported a green outfit, looked extremely mad at Ace. "Girls, look, he's protecting her" the girl in the blue outfit said. The main girl in a pink outfit gave them orders to beat the crap out of my mom, not that I cared anyways.
