A/N:New story! Please review!
Tee was sitting in her room when it happened. She heard the loud blaring police sirens coming from outside the window, and the red car scraping into the long, wide, gravel driveway. Carmen and Lily came into Tee's room.
"Do you know what's happening, Tee?" Lily asked curiously. She walked over to the blue patterned curtains and pulled them roughly apart. "Hey, look!" Carmen and Tee raced over to the window and leaned out carefully. A girl of about their age was getting out of the car, she looked tired and scared. She was also covered in thick, red, dripping blood. The three girls looked at each other, and ran outside.
"Right, everyone. This is Bea Longheart, and she's going to be staying here for a while," Mike announced. Bea hung her head and scuffed her already scuffed black shoes on the floor.
"Where is she going to sleep?" Gus enquired. "Kitty and Tyler have taken up all of the spare rooms!" Mike scratched his head, he was clearly thinking hard about where the new girl was going to sleep.
"Well, Carmen, what about sharing your room with Bea?" Carmen thought for a minute, and slowly nodded her head. "Great! That's settled then," Mike beamed, and put his hands on Bea's shoulders. "Bea, do you want to go and have a shower or something?" Bea nodded and walked out of the kitchen, ignoring the looks she was getting from the other members of the Dumping Ground.
"So guys, what do you think of her?" Liam asked. Everyone looked at each other.
"There's something not quite right about her.." Kitty said thoughtfully. There was an awkward silence.
"You can talk" said Johnny.
Tee wandered off to the living room, trying to find Carmen. Kitty was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with her sewing.
"Kitty, do you know where Carmen is, I need to talk to her," Tee asked. Kitty shook her head and carried on with her sewing, she was making a beautiful embroidered cushion for the living room . Tee went to Carmen's room and found her trying to tug a light green mattress onto the spare bed.
"Tee... Help... Me!" Tee giggled and pulled it onto the bed. Just then, A clean and unbloody Bea knocked on the door and poked her head around the door.
"Erm, can I come in?" Bea asked. Carmen looked at Tee and grinned. Tee sat down on Carmen's bed.
"Sure! Make yourself at home!" Tee answered, the big grin still plastered across her chirpy face. Bea smiled and sat down on her bed. "So, why did you come here?" Tee asked. Bea suddenly seemed to find the floor very interesting, and then she looked around Carmen's pink, fluffy room. There was a long silence.
"I don't want to talk about it, sorry." Bea muttered, as quiet as a mouse.
Everyone was in the kitchen, eating hot dogs. Bea came in and sat down between Tee and Carmen, glad to have someone to sit next to.
"So, Bea. Where do you come from?" Gus asked, his pen and notebook at the ready to scribble down the slightest thing. Bea looked around at everyone who was staring at her with great interest.
"Well, erm. I'm from York." Bea replied. Sapphire leaned over the table to get a better look at Bea.
"Why are you here? I mean, why did you come here?" Bea hung her head and blushed a fiery red.
"I really don't want to talk about it," She mumbled again, in the same mouse like voice. All of the kids started talking at once. Mike and Gina looked up from the kitchen sink, which was spraying cold water everywhere.
"Awh... Come on Bea, we all know everything about each other here!" Liam complained. Bea's face got redder and redder as the complaining got louder and louder. She stood up, twisted her hands into fists and slammed them down on the table, causing a loud bang noise.
"FINE, do you really want to know why I'm here?" She yelled. "I'm here because my step-father killed my mum and my baby sister, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE!" With wet, salty tears running down her cheeks from her eyes, Bea ran out of the room.
