Preface

I am Bella Hale, I live is a town called Liontown, I don't know why its called Liontown but that's its name. I don't have any parents, they abandoned me. So I sit here alone with no-one but me and myself, begging for money and clothes. I wear rags for t-shirts and nothing but a blanket an old woman gave me. No-one takes any notice of me, only the old and the poor. Posh people just walk away.

There's a old guy who lives here too, he live homeless like me, but he is out looking for food and money. I meet people in the subway, they sit there all day. So I sit here, freezing cold in the snow, with no where to go.

Today its warmer then usual, the sun is out and people are shopping. Two people gave me some trousers and something to eat, I said thanks but they already walked away. The old guy is back but he is asleep, police men try to move me, I'm 18 so I don't have to go in to a foster home. This man keeps staring at me and I don't know why. He is there every morning, he looks at my clothes and legs, he watches my ever move and I don't know why at all. Jon, the shop keeper says he is a business man who want clients and people to work for him but he says it's weird why he looks at me, I sure need a job but Jon is all staffed up and no-one will take my in. So I have to stay on the streets.
