The refreshing night breeze whistled softly, blowing lightly through my tangled blonde hair, drying my soaked, ragged shirt.
The sky was a deep, clear ocean blue and the moonlight reflected on house's windows. Stars smiling down at me, Midnight trotted beside me, his crystal eyes sparkling under the starlight . After the stifling heat of the day, I felt free as a bird.
Glad to be free of the hot and stuffy police car, I did five cart-wheel across the alley. Midnight barked excitedly and raced next to me.
I grinned as I thought of me knocking down that bald policeman, and kicked the cop next to him where it hurts the most. Leaping out of their grips and lunged for another police's neck, choking him, who was tying Midnight to a leash, then bolted into the night with Midnight panting behind.
Even though Mama is gone, gone to heaven and reunite with Papa, I'm bound to follow her footstep as a street person.
I love living on the street, people call use homeless, but the street is our home! In the morning, woken by the noisy , I chatted with the posh children in-front of the school with as they set off into school, showering me with tit-bits from their ''lunch box''.
During the day, I explore the world, I always to pretend I'm a rich lady and go window shopping, I love to dream about wearing those lovely beautiful dresses in the shop windows. There was one dress I especially adored, it was a breath-taking ruffled-edged gold dress with glittering sparks that hypothesizes me.
Near twilight, I dine on my snacks provided by the school children for dinner.
At night time, I snuggled the autumn leaves in central park with Midnight guarding me loyally. The owls sang me to sleep.
Midnight yelped suddenly, waking me from my day-dream, well, night-dream.
A drop of rain landed on my head.
Uh oh.
''Quick! Find shelter!'' I urged Midnight.
Before you can say ''sparkling styles'' , the soft rain drops transformed to a storm. The rain pelted down non-stop, lightning flashed, the sky rumbled and grumbled like my stomach.
I groaned as the moon ducked behind the murky clouds.
Stumbling around the dark like the three blind mice, oh I wished I nicked the flashlight from that police's belt!
A bright pink limo zoomed pass, sending up a tremendous splash of greasy water onto me. I was soaked head to toe! Outrageous!
I observed my surrounding, and leaped for joy as I caught sight of a cozy-looking early Victorian house with...A large, expanded eaves! Perfect for sheltering!
''Midnight! Look what I've found!''
Midnight and I dashed towards the house and curled up under the porch.
''This is not bad after all!'' I whispered to Midnight, watching the pouring rain pounded onto earth. I took in a big breath of crisp, pure air and smiled at my accurate sight.
I was nodding off when a sudden trail of sweet aroma of hot chocolate drifted into my nostril. It came from the house that we're outside of! The smell was mouth-watering, I couldn't help but drool a little. I haven't had hot chocolate since my 3rd birthday...When I had a family, respect and a home.
Midnight whined pitifully. My heart broke as I realized how under-grown he is, bones was showing beneath his muddy coat. He hasn't eaten in 4 days!
''Shhhh!'' I commanded frantically, trying to muffle Midnight's whines.
But it was too late.
Much to my alarm, Midnight broke into a agonizing howl.
My heart pounded like drums. ''Run! Run! Run! Run for your life'' my head had kept telling me, but my feet was frozen to the ground.
I gasp fearfully as the house's door slowly opened a crack.
''This is the end'' I thought to myself grimly, '' the owner will call the police and I'll be taken to the orphanage, separated from the real world.''
I shut my eyes tightly, hugging Midnight to my chest, and waited for the tragedy.
''Oh!'' Cried a surprised voice, I felt a stream of light shined onto me.
I kept my eyes closed firmly.
Midnight slipped away from my grip.
My eyes opened ever so slightly.
A gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I couldn't resisted it anymore, my eyes snapped opened. Looking back at me was a middle-aged woman, she has long chestnut locks tied into a bun, and warm, kind emerald eyes. Her stomach was enormous, pregnant I suppose. Midnight was furiously wagging his tail at her, which was very unusual.
''Are you alright sweetheart?'' she asked worriedly, ''where do you live? Where are your parents?''
''DO I LOOK OK?! DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE ANY PARENTS?!'' I screamed in agony. But only in my head so nobody else but me hears.
Suddenly a painful feeling tugged my heart. My eyes blurred, and leaning down at me was...Mum?! I rubbed my eyes, the brunette lady reappeared. She was so alike to Mum! Her kind eyes, her soft tone, her caring gestures.
Unable to stop myself, my eyes welled and burst into tear. Midnight scurried over and licked cleaned my tears.
''Awww! Don't cry!'' Fussed the nice lady, gently pulling me up, '' Come on in cupcake! I don't you catching a chill!''
Moved by her speech, I cried even harder.
A tall man with copper hair walked up behind her holding a mug of hot chocolate. ''Who have we got there Rose?''
''An orphan, I think. The poor darling, she's soaked!''
''My goddess! Call her in!''
''She has a dog with her too!''
''We'll put it in the backyard for the moment.''
The man looked at me and shot a pleasant smile. I smiled weakly back.
A gust of warm air hit me when I entered the house, I trembled with the sudden warmness.
The copper hair man half carried, half escorted me to a comfy cream-colour couch, I left a trail of water behind me.
''Don't worry, you're safe now.'' He reassured me.
I sank into the sofa, don't know what to think of this. I mean, this is crazy! Have they called the cops yet?
''I'm Forrest, Rose is my wife over there. We're the Linpheans.'' Said the man.
Out of my corner of my eyes I noticed a brunette girl with emerald eyes around my age, 7 or 8. She wore a cute pink night dress, and hiding behind her Dad.
Forrest noticed I looking at the girl, he laughed. ''And that's our daughter, the soon-to-be big sister, Flora!''
''But I don't wanna be a big sister!'' Flora mumbled, blushing furiously ''Bloom said it's better being the only child!''
Rose entered the room armed with blankets and a tray off hot chocolate with pink marshmallows. Midnight following behind with his nose held high.
''AUGHHHHHH!'' Flora screamed, leaping onto the couch, ''The big bad wolf! He's here! He's going to eat us up!''
I giggled. ''That's not the big bad wolf! That's Midnight, my husky.''
Flora glanced at Midnight suspiciously while he scoffed down a steak given by Rose.
Rose chuckled, ''who's in for some hot chocolate?''
I gulped down my serve of hot chocolate with a snug blanket around me. A wave of warmth rushed over me, the marshmallows melted in my mouth. It tasted like heaven!
''Now-'' Began Rose.
''Please!'' I cutted in, ''I beg you! Don't send me to the orphanage!''
Forrest and Rose shared a knowing glance. Flora sucked on her thumb and cuddled her teddy, with no idea what's going on.
''Let's not talk about that first'' Said Rose, patting her bulging tummy, ''what's your name?''
''Stella, Stella Solaria.''
''Who's your parents?''
''Luna and Radius Solaria, but they're... dead.'' I Replied, swallowing a lump in my throat.
''I'm sorry...Age?''
''I'm 8 and a half.''
''Where do you...Live?''
''...Central Park...The 5th seat from the main gate, under the big oak tree.''
''Hmm...'' Said Forrest, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
''PLEASE!'' I pleaded suddenly, kneeling onto the floor, ''SPARE ME FROM THE ORPHANAGE!''. I put on my don't-call-the-police look and my puppy dog eyes that I learnt from Midnight.
Forrest and Rose's eyes softened, Forrest putted down his phone he was holding.
Flora yawned and snuggled into her Dad's arms.
''It's way past your bedtime my flower, sleep time!'' Rose broke in.
''I'm not sleepy yet!'' Complained Flora, but her eyes were drooping already.
Forrest carried his daughter up stairs to her bedroom, ''say goodnight to Stella, Flora''.
''Night, night stranger...And Mum and Midnight.''
''Sleep tight Flora'' Rose and I called back in unison. Midnight barked in reply.
Thoughts swam in my mind: One minute I was outside in the pouring rain, and now I'm saying goodnight to a total stranger!
''Grrrrrrrrr'' My stomach growled. I blushed crimson.
Rose chuckled, ''looks like you are in for my famous Linphean apple pie with green tea!''
''Yes please.'' I cried, drooling a little.
I curled up on the couch next to Midnight as Rose went to the kitchen.
My eyes drooped as I studied the room. I can tell this family loves plants, the house was full of them!
''I'll just have a teeny nap'' I told myself, and drifted off into deep sleep.
Hope you enjoyed it! :D

Flora
