A/N: This story kind of popped up in my head when I was going to school. So I decided to write what I wanted to write. So yeah. Enjoy!
Chapter 1, a New Member
Martha went out for a stroll, putting Yusei in charge of the orphanage. After a few minutes it started to rain.
Good thing I brought an umbrella… She thought.
She walked around for awhile until the rain started to pour then into a thunderstorm. She decided to walk back to the orphanage. For some weird reason, Martha was never scared of thunderstorms.
She was humming a nice tune. She was walking past the small playground until she heard some child crying. First she thought it was some child crying because of the thunderstorm. Then after awhile, she heard it get closer. She then got suspicious and went towards the crying.
Walking through the heavy fog, she saw a little boy with blond hair, with his head on his knees, crying sitting on the ground leaning against a tree. She took a step closer. He didn't notice her. Again, she took a step. Still, he didn't notice her. She kept doing that until she was about 3 feet away from him. She stopped because she didn't hear him cry anymore. He slowly brought his head up. Noticing, his eyes were violet. He was soaking wet but, you can see tears streaming down his checks. She walked towards him. He didn't take his eyes off from her. Now, she was close to him, close enough to have the umbrella cover them both.
"Hey little fella." She said in a soft tone. "What's your name?"
He stared around somewhere in the woods and then he looked back at Martha. "Jack…" he said in a whisper, just barely enough for her to hear.
Why does that name sound so familiar to me…? She thought.
"I'm Martha. So, where's your family? Did you get lost?"
He shook his head then he started crying again.
"Then what happened?" she asked.
He looked up. His eyes told everything.
His parents… Got murdered… But how? And why? Why didn't they didn't kill him too?
"You poor little guy… How about you come with me. I run an orphanage. You can live there and make friends."
He looked at her. His eyes were wide open like he was given an offer that would change his life. He really did too. He slowly nodded.
"Alright. Then follow me. You should stay under this umbrella to keep you dry."
Again he nodded.
A new member in the orphanage… Martha thought with a smile.
They walked to the orphanage not noticing what is waiting those 2 there.
A/N: Err… Yeah… They are different when they are young so they are not out of character… And… What will happen when Martha and Jack get to the orphanage? So… Yeah… Happy reading and the next chapter will be up A.S.A.P. So please R+R!
