1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1

A/N: This story takes place 10 years after my original story The Girl. I recommend reading this one. The only thing I own in this story is Jane and her father which this story is told through her eyes.

First chapter is going to be short.

"It's been 10 years since Grandpa Ben, Uncle Adam, Uncle Hoss and Pa took me in. I thought as I got out of bed. I walked down the stairs where I saw my family in the living room. Pa was sitting on the couch, Grandpa was sitting in the red chair, Uncle Adam was sitting in the blue chair and Uncle Hoss was sitting next to Pa.

As soon as I got the bottom if the stairs, they stood up and Pa came over to me, took me by the hand and led me to the dining table, which had a chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. "Happy birthday, Jane." he said as he sat me down at the table and then the rest of them sat down as well.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles." Grandpa said.

I looked at my family and then at the cake. "Why should I wish for anything? I have everything I could ask for. A roof over my head and a family who loves me."

Uncle Hoss looked at me hungrily and said. "Come on already and blow out the candles already."

I then blew out the candles. Right after I did that there was knock on the door.

I went to open it and there stood Sherriff Coffee at the door. "Jane, I have some bad news for you."
