Chapter 1 – Settling In
Hello readers! If you have read Living Nightmares, you probably know me. I've decided to discontinue it. I know, it's only up till Chapter 1, but I've got a million story ideas whizzing around in my head. It's hard to pick one to make a commitment to, being the person I am. If you liked Living Nightmares, I'm not deleting it. I'm just not adding anymore chapters to it. Hope you like the story! Rated T for minor swearing.

Smoke…Fire…Death…
Three things that she hated the most. Three things that a little six year old girl was never supposed to see. Three things that destroyed everything she had.
Family…Home…Happiness…
Three things that slipped out of her grasp on that dreadful day. Three things that she could never see again. Three things that were everything to her.
Misery…Loneliness…Doubt…
Three things that described her perfectly. Three things that she didn't try to hide. Three things that weighed down on her for four years.
Paige Madison has hit rock bottom. She could remember everything – the screams, the pain, the fear – as clear as a cloudless summer day, even if she was ten years old now. She moved from foster parent to foster parent very frequently. But today was the day she would get her permanent foster parents, they lived in some weird mountain town where really weird shit went down – or so she heard. "This place had better not suck ass!" she muttered to herself, carrying her small white suitcase to the house they had driven to. It was a pretty average house, with two stories and painted light yellow. She looked at the house number – 275 – she would have to remember that.
The door opened a few seconds after she had knocked. A young lady stood inside, smiling when she saw her new foster daughter. "Hello there!" she bent down and ruffled Paige's caramel-colored hair, making the little girl shed a few tears. The lady looked concerned, "I'm sorry! Did I hurt you?" she asked, worriedly. Paige shook her head. "N-no, it's just that…m-my original mom used to do that all the t-time…" she whimpered, quietly. Her new foster mom hugged her tightly. "There, there, I know it's hard to lose a loved one. I've been there before." She reassured her. Paige just stood still, not used to having such a similar foster parent to her real mother.
"Can I please come in?" she murmured. The lady pulled away and nodded, without a word. Paige was showed around the house, and she had to admit; it was a pretty nice place. Her room was painted lilac just for her; it was a really nice color. The bed was a simple single bed with white wood and mint green covers. She began to unpack, when she noticed a voice coming from downstairs. "Mom, I'm home!" she stopped what she was doing and went downstairs to see who it was. It was an older boy, about two years older than her. He stared, and she stared back. "Are you my foster sister?" he finally spoke up. Their mom came in from her room. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Paige. I have an older son that will be your foster brother." She came downstairs as well and introduced them to each other.
"Paige, Ricky. Ricky, Paige." The two foster siblings shook hands and said their cheerful hellos. "I'd love to play with you right now, but I have homework right now. Why don't you go and meet new friends your age outside?" Ricky suggested to his new little sister. Paige considered this, and finally answered with a quiet, "Okay." She exited the house, happy that she had such a nice new family. Could she say the same for her friends, though?
END OF CHAPTER 1
Did you like it? I really am not that good of a writer, but I tried at least. Please rate and review, I would greatly appreciate it! I might throw in a romantic subplot if I feel like it, but this story is more focused on Paige's life and the adventures she goes through with her newfound friends, which are no other than our four favorite little boys!
