A Siren's Song

by lady-ravnclaw

Siren is sarcastic, bad tempered and really not a morning person. But most of all she is damaged. Scarred both inside and out and she is damned if that is gonna happen again. Then she gets moved to Elm Tree House. Then she meets a houseful of kids just as damaged as her but still laughing. And most of all they were living. Could Siren possibly, maybe be like them? ON HIATUS.

Prologue

A/N: Here is the first chapter/prologue of my story 'A Siren's Song'. I hope you like it :)

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING

" OK so we're going to talk to the care workers first. They're really nice people..."

Siren tuned out her social worker Agatha. She was droning on about this wonderful care home that was going to be just like home. Apparently the people there were really amazing but Siren had never been a great fan of people.

" Siren are you even listening to me?"

" Oh yeah sure hanging onto every word." She shot her a quick grin before returning her gaze to the car window. It was not like she was trying to be rude, she just hasn't been around people for a long time. That's all.

They were on their way to elm tree house, Sirens new care home and as the trees and cars rolled past her, she wondered if this would be like the care homes she had heard about where all your stuff gets nicked and the grown-ups hate you. She hoped it wasn't.

If it was the she vowed to run away - something she'd been planning on for a while, ever since the police picked her up.

" Well here we are, out you get. And try and put a smile on your face" Agatha sounded exasperated already.

Siren stared up at the big house with its red door and creeping ivy. From the outside it looked OK but looks can be deceiving.

Kicking up the gravel with her feet, she made her way to the front door, pulling her rucksack with her. Agatha knocked all that could be heard for a while was shuffling feet, distant running and whispering before finally the bolt slid back and two smiling faces were staring back at them. The two strangers welcomed Siren and Agatha in. After one look at Agatha that said don't-make-me-do-this-please-i-don't-want-to-do-this she stepped inside.

A/N: OK that's the prologue done. I would love to know what you think if you've gotten this far so drop me a line in either a review or PM. Thank you :)
