Hey there!!! I know I'm supposed to be working on the other

into my head! Hehe. Well, review and tell me if you liked it, I'm

not sure where it's going to end or what's going to come next

since I only have the first chapter, but I'll come out with

something next week!!!


The Quest For a Family

by LiLmOoNgOdDeSs


In the usually bustling city of London, England, for once,

everything was still as the whole town was in their warm and

comfortable beds with the exception of a young woman who had just

woken up in a cold sweat after having a bunch of jumbled

flashbacks of another young woman, the very woman that brought

her to the steps of the cruel orphanage where she had resided for

almost eighteen years.

"Serena! Is there something wrong?" asked her very sleepy

friend Mina.

Even in the darkness of the night, Serena could see Mina's

crystal blue eyes closing rapidly. Her pale blonde hair that went

to the middle of her back was coming out of the french braid it

was in from all the turning.

"No Mina, everything is just fine. Nothing but a silly

little nightmare to wake me up." replied Serena.

As if satisfied with that answer, Mina fell back asleep with

a loud snore while Serena lay deep in thought.

'Could that have possibly been her mother? Why would she

just leave me here? Could I have done something wrong to be sent

here?'

With those thoughts, she drifted off into yet another

dreamless sleep.

Serena woke up the next morning and looked over at Mina to

see that she was just about to fall off the bed with her limbs

dangerously hanging off the edge. Serena smiled and walked out of

the room to the washroom to get ready for the new day. When she

got back and saw that a certain someone was still sleeping, she

got a mischievous look on her face. The others in the house were

awoken by a loud scream. They all rushed in to see a laughing

Serena with a furious and wet Mina standing over her.

"Honestly Serena! Did you just have to do that?" sputtered

Mina.

That just brought Serena into another round of laughter.

"Well how else was I supposed to wake you up when you were

sleeping as if you yourself was one of the dead?" exclaimed

Serena while watching Mina stomp off towards the washroom. Serena

finally noticed the crowd that had gathered around the door and

slowly closed the door in everyone's face.

'Hmm...we don't have any chores to do until it's time to

prepare dinner so why not go out to town for the afternoon?'

thought Serena.

About a half hour later, Mina came back and had almost

forgotten about the whole ordeal. She enthusiastically agreed to

the idea of going shopping in the busy town of London which was a

little less than a mile away from the orphanage. They quickly got

ready and left the orphanage about forty-five minutes later after

having a quick breakfast. Serena and Mina quickly walked along

the path all the while talking excitedly about all the stores

they wanted to go in. When they reached the block of shops, they

were surrounded by many ladies dressed in exquisite gowns made of

the finest silks and a whole variety of colors. The pair stepped

into the nearest shop and gasped in marvel at the beautiful

gowns, but nearly fainted at the outrageous prices. They both

sighed before heading downtown where they could walk along the

street and look at what the merchants had to offer.

"Ooooh! Serena! Look at that beautiful bracelet! I think it

would look absolutely stunning with that new dress you bought

last month!" exclaimed Mina.

With that, Serena turned and gasped when she saw the

bracelet. She went to pick it up, but someone had already beat

her to it...
