To say I was upset was quite an understatement. Mother promised me I could play baseball with Christopher, Thomas, William and the rest, but now here I was walking to the market to buy the steaks for dinner because she couldn't work up the energy to. Okay, I'm sure there is a reason she couldn't go, but I'm angry so shoot me.
I was just passing the train station at this point. There were people milling about everywhere, and through the crowd I spotted a lone little figure. I edged my way into the crowd trying to find the small child. I don't know why, but something about the sight of the child seemed to draw me in. I looked everywhere but I couldn't seem to find her. I backed out of the group and continued on my way to the market, still thinking about the little girl.
On my way back from the market I heard what sounded like a small child crying as I passed the train station. I looked into the alley beside the train tracks and there I spotted the small child, just sitting curled up against the wall sobbing into her fabric-clad knees.
"Hello, my name is Edward Masen. Are you all right." The child stared at me as if I had just spoken gibberish.
I tried again. "Do you speak English?" The girl nodded. "What's your name?" Again I got the blank look.
It was starting to get dark out and I knew I should be home already, but the little girl looked so helpless I just couldn't bare to leave her. "Do you want to come home with me?" The little girl nodded. I held my hand out to help her up and she instantly flinched like I was going to hit her. "Okay, how about you just follow me home.
I stood up and walked towards the exit to the alleyway. I heard the small noises signifying the child had stood up and was following me. I walked home slowly to make sure the girl didn't get left behind and silently prayed that mother wouldn't mind the new addition at the dinner table
So that's the first chapter I hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
