Chapter 1

The Unheard

Since the Jude was littlehe was told by his parents that his older sister would never speak. And since they landed in the foster system it has been his duty to protect her as much as possible from the other kids while she protected him from the parents. Jude was very protective of her as he got older he started getting more protective of her with the foster parents which usually beat her cause she couldn't speak which landed them with the new foster home they were going to today.

As Jude looked over at Callie he could still see the bruising on her face from where their previous foster father hit her because Callie wouldn't talk to him. Jude knew sign language because that's what his mom and dad taught him to communicate with her and plus looking at her body language said all too.

Jude looked at Bill as he drove them to another home and Jude was on edge because he needed to make sure these new people knew Callie didn't speak at all. "Bill do these people know Callie can't talk? Like every home you've put us in supposedly they know but as soon as you leave they are jerks hurting her cause she won't speak or making fun of her sign language." Jude said with a snap in his tone. As Bill pulled up to a house he looked in his rearview mirror and responded with "yes Jude they do I had them repeat it back to me making sure they know. Jude they are good people I promise you that. They won't hurt either of you."

Bill opened up his door and got out and opened the backdoor for Callie and Jude. As they got out of the car Bill noticed that Callie was holding Jude's hand tightly and looking at the ground Bill felt horrible these kids have been threw hell the last two homes since they became his case have been just downright horrible and he prayed that he can find them a good home soon. Bill made sure he had the kids files and started walking towards the door and looked back to see Jude signing to Callie. Bill softly sighed and rang the doorbell and as the door opened he seen Stef Foster and Lena Adams the two people he knew would do right by these two today. "Hi Stef. Hi Lena. Well I have the kids like we've talked about this will only be for a few weeks and then I will get them to their new home. Just give them a little leeway please they are scared and like I said Callie she doesn't talk her parents have had test done and so have I there is no reason she won't speak but she does know sign language I don't know if either of you do if not Jude can translate it for you." Bill said to Stef and Lena who nodded in understanding of the situation

Bill called them over.

Stef and Lena didn't know what to make of all this neither knew sign language and the look of the girl instead of looking 16 yrs old she looked like a scared 8 year old and the boy looked much older and you could tell was on edge and ready to protect her in a heart beat.

"Callie and Jude this is Stef and Lena they are going to take good care of you I promise you." Bill said as he also signed for Callie

"Hi sweets why don't you guys come in and Bill can get on his way and we can get you guys comfortable." Stef said as she watch Jude squeeze Callie's hand twice almost like a secret code between the two.

Both children walked Jude first and Callie following very closely to him not meeting their eyes at all.

Hope you enjoyed
