Heather POV

The nice lady walked up to me I could sense her and asked where are my parents. I reflected on how I got here.

Flashback

Earlier today

"Freak" Aunt Petunia said, "Get up, you have chores to do." Heather was, but 8 years old. She had not gone to primary school and instead learnt English by using one of Dudley's old dictionaries. Her lexicon was far above most children at her age. Though she was blind she never acted like it. For some reason her ability to read was subconscious. She didn't read with her eyes but with her fingers. She knew that the book wasn't different and the pages were smooth however, the small change where the ink was printed allowed her to learn enough English.

Uncle Vernon did not like having to take care of the 'Freak' as he called her. She had to pay her rent by doing chores or in other manners. She nearly trembled at the thought of the other manners.

Heather got up and walked out. Aunt Petunia said "You have to cook the bacon, wash and iron the clothes, pull out weeds in the garden, cook lunch, vacuum the floors, clean Dudley's Bedrooms, clean Vernon and mine's bedroom, cook dinner, and serve us in any other way you can"

Heather was used to this and didn't complain. After completing the chores every day after having to sense where I was going, Uncle Vernon would use her for his sick needs. Today though it was Dudley's birthday, and Uncle Vernon was taking everyone to London to see the London Eye.

While in the car Uncle Vernon said "Freak stay in the car and don't get out you will not go with us. You would ruin Dudley's birthday." to which Heather said "Yes uncle Vernon." 10 minutes after they had left she snuck out of the car and left.

Flashback End

This is where her leaving the car got her. Stuck near some venue or what was the word again concert? Yes that's the word she was near a concert hall. She had run down a set of steps and boarded some sort of car. She heard a person call out a few starts and stops later. She knew It was late, and she was getting tired. She heard great singing inside from some vocal band.

Susan McFadden's POV

The other girls and I finished singing "Mo Ghile Mear" at the Victoria Albert and were ready to leave. We had become quite popular and were hoping to make Celtic music alive again. We even called ourselves Celtic Woman.

As I was leaving with the other girls I saw a young girl who couldn't have been older than 5 look around lost. When I came up to her to ask whether or not her parents were nearby she looked at me. To my horror one of her eyes was a milky white, and the other had scar tissue over the eyelid. She looked raggedy, malnourished, dirty, and near dead. (A description of her may help the reader). She was about 3 and a half feet tall with pale skin. The skin looked so pale that she could have been a ghost. Her heart-shaped face was malnourished and had several bruises. I looked at her arms and saw numerous scars and words that appeared to be burned into them. Freak, harlot, whore the list continues and I could not believe what had happened. A naggin voice in my head said "Help her now." I complied immediately after noticing that she had an unusual lightning shaped scar on her forehead.

I quickly asked her if she needed me to help her find her parents. She responded "I'm an orphan, my parents died in a car accident. I lived with my aunt and uncle but..."

The other girls were ready to go and called to me "Susan were ready to go." I said "Tara get over hear I may need your help." Tara came over and saw the girl, and said "another fan". "Look at her eyes" I said. As she looked at her eyes Tara's eyes grew wide as saucers. "Where are her parents" Tara said, "She said she was an orphan, and she lived with her aunt and uncle, but won't say anymore to that subject" I said. I then turned to her and asked "how old are you." She immediately replied "8, however I do not know how accurate the days I counted are." I was surprised at her lexicon.

I said "I think we need to get her out of here, its cold and we can take her to the orphanage tomorrow" "sure I'll let the other girls know" Tara said. I said "I think we might need to take her to the doctor, and at least get her cleaned up." Heather was filthy and was wearing a shirt ten times bigger than her.

While Tara was informing the other girls I asked her some more questions. Where do you live? Where are your guardians. How did you get here? Her answers surprised and horrified me. She said "I live in Surrey, England. I don't know the last I heard was that they were going to the London Eye. I walked down into a station and saw a sign called the Underground."

The fact her relatives obviously did not care about her and left her in the car while going to the London Eye sickened me. I said "We're going to take you to the doctor." To which she replied "What's a doctor?" I suddenly felt very small and said A doctor is a person who helps people who are sick get better." She said "Okay." Tara, Orla, and Eabhe came over than and Orla said "Tara told me about this girl."

I said "We need to get her to a doctor if you guys don't mind." Eabhe said "Of course we don't mind let's go on a road trip." Heather said "I don't know if I will be allowed to go. I'm sure that this 'doctor' costs money, and I do not have any." To which I replied, "No worries I'll pay for it I have plenty of money."

I told Chuck that she was an orphan I saw on the street and was blind. He said, "Let's go get her starting to heal."

-Doctor's Office-

Heather's POV

I was scared until the blonde lady started asking me questions. I felt that I could trust her and answered all of her question to my best ability. While we were on the road as the black haired lady said they introduced themselves to me.

The blonde lady's name was Susan, the red haired lady name was Tara, the older red haired lady name was Orla, and the black haired lady's name was Eabhe. They said they were part of a vocal band called Celtic Woman. I was very happy that Eabhe started telling jokes. Afterwards, Tara played the violin in such a wonderful manner that I fell asleep.

I woke up to Susan shaking my shoulder. She said it was time to go to which I responded "Okay." We went into this red bricked building with the sign Boot's over it. Tara and Orla went and talked to the lady at the counter while Susan and Eabhe stayed with me. Not long after I heard a voice saying "Heather time to go in for a checkup." The voice was that of a nice young man in a white coat.

I walked into the checkup room as well as Susan, Tara, and Orla. Eabhe said she is somewhat afraid of needles and stayed outside. The doctor told me I needed to take off my shirt. I did so after a nod from Susan. The minute he saw my back he said "What happened" to Susan.

While Susan talked to the doctor. I was hugging Orla and Tara as they whispered soothingly into my ear. After the doctor spoke to Susan He told me that I needed to go to the hospital. Susan said "It's where sick people go if the doctor can't help them." I said "Okay another road trip."

Susan's POV

When the doctor looked at her back I could tell something was wrong. He asked me what happened and I informed him of what I knew. He said "I can't fix this you need to go to the hospital. Here is the name of the doctor there that you need to see. Tell him it is from me and he will see her immediately." I looked at the slip of paper he pressed into my hand and it read Doctor Mamoru.

I looked at Heather and was happy to see that she was hugging Orla and Tara while they were comforting her. I said after the doctor told Heather she needed to got to the hospital, but at the puzzled look on her face I changed my original thought and said "It's where sick people go if the doctor can't help them."

As we got into the bus I told her that everything was going to be alright.

Heather's POV

-The Royal London Hospital-

I hoped as we entered the car that everything was going to be alright. Susan then told me what I wanted to hear, and we left to go to the hospital. Eabhe explained that when she was young she hated shots especially after a doctor had given her the wrong shot by accident. I was happy to finally get to the hospital, and hopefully not hurt anymore.

I had learned when I was 3 that after losing my left eye, and not being able to see out of my right I would have to learn to get around through my other senses. When we reached the hospital, I was able to get out of the bus and walked to the nurses desk.

Susan said "I'd like to see Doctor Mamoru" to which the nurse replied "Doctor Mamoru is a very busy man if you don't have an appointment he won't see you." Susan got agitated and said "Tell him its from Doctor James and that he is pulling in that favor from Iraq." I was surprised when I heard Doctor Mamoru come out a few minutes after the nurse had left to tell him.

He said "Come on back we're going to probably admit you to the hospital if James is calling in that favor." I went back and this time Susan and Tara came while Orla and Eabhe stayed behind. They said that they were going to get something to eat for themselves as well as Susan, Tara, and me.

I complied with Doctor Mamoru's orders after he said take off my shirt. He said he would have to run numerous tests, and that Susan and Tara should go out. While I complied with his orders I started getting somewhat anxious. Will he do something to me? Will he hurt me like Uncle Vernon? He didn't however, and had me go to Susan and Tara after he was done.

Susan POV

I held my breath the entire time Heather was in the room. I told Tara of my worries to which she replied "Don't worry I'm sure Heather will be alright." I started having this warm feeling, and hoped that it meant that I was doing the right thing.

I asked Tara "Do you think I should drop her off in the orphanage?" She replied saying "Do what you think is best, I will support you, however I believe she is emotionally attached to you now." I said, "I think I may just adopt her myself, but I want to ask Orla and Eabhe before I make my decision." Tara stayed silent for a minute before saying "If you adopt her know that I will teach her the violin if she wants. Know that if you really want to adopt her that she will be with us on the road all the time. Know that if you choose to adopt her that she will be loved by me and you until my dying breath."

I had tears in my eyes after hearing her affirmations to my idea. "Tara … Thank you so much for your support on this topic. I … can't thank you enough." She said, "This is my vow to her and you." Doctor Mamoru came out with Heather and said "It will take a while for me to get through the results. She looked tired and is probably exhausted." I realized it was almost 2:00 AM. I said "Okay, we'll get her to sleep on the bus, and get ourselves something to eat." Doctor Mamoru said, "The results should be back by 10:00 this morning."

The doctor left. I said "Tara lets go lay her down into my bunk. I'll meet you near the entrance in 10 minutes." 10 minutes later I had laid Heather down on my bed inside the coach, and covered her up. I met up with Tara and we went to the cafeteria in the hospital.

-Hospital Cafeteria-

I walked into the cafeteria and saw Orla and Eabhe near the back-right corner of the cafeteria. We walked over there and sat down. Eabhe said "How is she doing?" I said "The doctor said she was alright. I let her sleep in my bunk on the coach. Doctor Mamoru her results would be back by 10:00 this morning. I think we should get some sleep as well, but I have a question for you two." Orla and Eabhe said "Well what's the question?"

I said "Do you think I should adopt her, and would you be open to having her live on the road with us? Tara told me that she was obviously emotionally attached to me as well as you two by her behavior." Orla and Eabhe didn't miss a beat and said "Yes" with such vehemence that I was reeling back in my chair.

I said okay let's all get some shut-eye and discuss how we are going to teach her tomorrow. Tara, Eabhe, and Orla said "Agreed."
