Chapter 1: The Rainy Day

It was a rainy day when the Moulin Rouge came to the funeral of the Sparkleing Diamond. A heartbroken Christian stode behind a tree with the twinkel in his eye gone. The Duke how ever was nowhere in sight. As it started to rain harder people left. The only person who stayed was Christian. He leaned against a tree writing there story.

A small cry could barly be heard, but he heard it. Christian walked around trees till he found a little pink bundel under the tree crying.

"Are you ok," he said to the bundel not sure if it was even human. To his suprise the bundel said yes. After talking to it for a little while a head came out. The head had looked just like Satine, but her eyes were like 2 emeralds instead of that beautiful blue he loved.

"Who are you?" not sure if the words came.

"My name is Hope."

"Hope thats a lovely name, but what are you doing in a grave yard?"asked Christian.

"I'm staying with my mommy. When I get cold or hungry I'll go to an orphanage. Until then I'm here with my mommy."Hope said it so sweetly, he remebered that it remined him so much of Satine's voice.

"Who is your mommy?" asked Christian feeling a bit braver.

"Her name was Satine." These four words felt like a knife stabbing him. Satine had a daughter! How many people knew? Who were these people?

Almost in tears Christian told Hope that he loved her mother. He would be her dad. So many questions, but he had to give her a break from the questions not just for her but for him. Hand in hand he took her home.
