Seventeen year old Angie Baker has been through hell and back more times than you could imagine. From growing up in an orphanage, to being treated like a ghost by anyone and everyone around her, Angie only wishes to finally be adopted by people who actually take note of her appearance. After nine years of dreaming of the possibilities of a family, one certain family takes notice of her.
Not because of how depressed and alone she looked, not because she has been at the orphanage since she was five, but because of her ability; talent. Ever since Angie was eight, she had started taking self defense and karate classes to help pass the long hours at the familiar Orphanage.
With no choice but to join the family, Angie finds out she has been adopted to complete a job; to fight. Angie now has a bigger task than any seventeen year old should. She wanted a normal life. A life where she could be happy. And this, was her only way out.

THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY
"Nowhere is safe, you know?" Foster homes, orphanages, replacement homes, you name it, Georgia Monroe has never fit in anywhere. From a young age, she has only known that running away and constantly losing track of those that are supposed to care for her, is a way of survival. A way to escape. She hardly knows her real name, as people are constantly trying to change it, whilst all she wants to do is fit in. It's like she knows that she has a real family out there, no matter how many times people try to tell her that they either didn't want her, before explaining all the reasons why no one would want her, or that they all died, and she will never know them. For years, Georgia has tried to decipher the difference between words thrown at her in rage and due to alcohol, but as the years go by, it is harder to see the difference. It's harder not to believe the words. The words of her family not wanting her and that they may be dead, probably as a result of her sake. All she wants, is a pair of safe arms that will take the stress of her shoulders, for a little while. Only, she doesn't know how great of a deal she is asking of those that are her family. She will never understand the depth of the work that her real family has been intertwined, and maybe not living with them, has kept her alive. Has made her a stronger person than she would have been if she had grown up with them from the beginning. Georgia, though it may feel like to her, isn't the only one that has suffered. Though her brothers home may be idealistic and fit for a king and queen in her eyes, it is far from it. Behind all the luxury and money spilling from the walls, it hadn't been like that their entire lives. It wasn't easy to attain such wealth without risking a few lives here and there, including Georgia's, their sister. __________________________________________________________________ Started: 11.10.21 Finished: 21.08.22 Rewritten: 17.08.25 -Complete
