Hello, this is a slight rewrite of chapter 1. I know this chapter isn't that good, but it is more just setting the scene. The next chapters are much better and they will be in first person. Please can you give the next chapters a go even if you don't like this one.

Love Wall x

p.s. ignore the first few authors notes they are all old.

A Fresh Start

Everyone sat quietly in lounge, this at the dumping ground was unusual, but everyone knew it was something serious and ever since Faith had run away the place had lost a lot of happiness. They were waiting upon the DNA test result from the police, they thought had found a body but they didn't know if it was Faith's or not. Every sat silently, deep in thought when Mike walked in.

"Have they found her? Have they found Faith?" Johnny asked, Mike shook his head.

"Then why did you call us? You never call house meetings unless there is something important," Tyler said.

"Well today we have some new residents coming,"

"why didn't you tell us before?" Rick asked.

"Last minute placement, we don't know if they will be here permanently, but they will be here for a few weeks at least."

"Jeff wants to know what they are called," Harry said waving his loyal companion in the air.

Imitari rested her head against the car window, she drew patterns with her finger, she twiddled with her hair, she did anything to avoid talking to her sisters and brother. She knew that they blamed her, it wasn't her fault, it was her parents fault. No it was her fault, she told the teacher the truth, by accident and her parents had been arrested and her and her siblings were being put into care. She felt the tears leak from her blue eyes, she had let them all down, she had ruined all of their lives and they hated her for it.

"Four new people!" Elektra shouted,

"I better not be sharing,"

"um... Elektra you will be sharing with Verus, she is 15," as soon as Elektra heard this information she stormed out of the lounge.

"Harry you will also have to share, his name is Fortiter and he is 8,"

"ok," Harry said smiling, "Jeff wants to know if he is nice."

"Carmen you will be sharing with Beta, she is 14,"

"I am not sharing, she can share with Tee," Carmen shouted,

"Tee isn't sharing with one of those people," Johnny said protectively.

"Carmen you have to share with Beta because Imitari is sharing with Tee," after this comment hell broke loose in the Dumping Ground.

The rain had stopped by the time the car had reached Elmtree house, Fortiter was the only one looking reasonably happy, he had spent the whole journey playing with his toy giraffe George. Verus was currently plugged into her Ipod, Verus had light brown hair with purple highlights in it, her blue eyes were outlined with black eyeliner and she was trying to look completely different to Imitari. Beta had dark brown hair and blue eyes, she was currently wearing a red print dress with a black leather jacket over the top and a pair of grey military boots on her feet. Then Imitari sat their wearing a white dress and a denim jacket, she wore it in a sign of peace to her brother and sisters. A reminder of their life before it got messed up, before she messed up their lives. She looked at Elmtree house, it was a new start for all of them, so she put a smile on her face and got out of the car.

Mike and Gina greeted the newcomers and took them into the lounge and left them with their new house mates.

"Hello my name is Harry and this is Jeff," Harry said waving Jeff at them.

"Hello I'm Fortiter and this is George," the boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes replied.

"Hello I'm Carmen," a girl in pink said. Beta grimaced – she hated pink.

"Hi I'm Johnny, which of you is Beta?" he asked,

"I am," Beta replied.

"Good luck you are sharing with Carmen," he said.

"Beta looked horrified,

"which ever one of you losers is Verus," a girl with blue in her hair said, striding into the room.

"Mess up my stuff and you are dead,"

"I am Verus,"

"Ok you're not that bad," but then she thought for a second, "actually you probably are."

At this point Carmen unwillingly took Beta to show her her room, Elektra took Verus to her room and Harry took Fortiter away. Imitari was the only new one left.

"Hey I'm Imitari, you can call me Immy," she said quietly.

"Hey Immy, I'm Tee. Your room mate," a girl who looked about a year younger than Immy.

Immy smiled at Tee, she seemed nice enough.

This is a fresh start, Immy thought, a fresh start for everyone.

A fresh start for me.
