Chapter 1
She was a young girl, maybe 15, it was hard to tell as the lightest grey flannel tracksuit and baseball cap that shadowed her face concealed most of her appearance. Small tufts of white blonde hair however did poke through and her slim build seemed hidden under the baggy clothes. The mysterious teen was alone and on the run, down the station steps she fled pausing only to lean on the wall for breathe. A circular sign was above her, she was panting and out of breath as she leant against the wall not caring about the looks she was receiving from the other passengers.
Looking up behind her she mumbled, "Walford East", well at least she had finally got here. That was the last time she tried sneaking on the train with no fare she thought to herself, who knew conductors could run so fast? Hearing the thunder of the conductors feet running in her direction she moved quickly panicking and pushing her way though the crowds, elbowing into the dense rush of people. She was nearing the entrance when suddenly she was knocked off her feet and into a certain Peggy Mitchell returning from a shopping trip with Ben. The bags went flying everywhere along with the girl's baseball cap as longish white blonde hair fell out.
"OI! Watch where you going!", Peggy yelled irritated already by this girl. Her voice echoed throughout the entire station as many people watched on at this rather dramatic scene unfold for a Monday morning in the tube station. The girl however did not even seem to care at all as all she could do was stay still on the floor, an irritated expression on her face.
Peggy was becoming impatient, "Well you gonna sit there all day or pick these bags up! I'm not gonna wait all day!", Peggy said.
Ben pulled on Peggy's sleeve, "Gran…" he said in a quiet whisper.
"Not now Ben." Peggy answered arms crossed waiting for this girl to pick up their bags.
The girl just sat and gaped at her rather taken aback as she stared straight back into Peggy's eyes not intimidated by her. She then quickly grabbed her cap pulling it back over her head before dashing off once again out into the busy streets of Walford. Leaving Peggy with her arms crossed rather annoyed.
"Gran…" Ben insisted a little louder this time as people began to go about their daily routines once again. The excitement quickly forgotten and business went back to normal.
"Ben I said not now", Peggy replied picking up the shopping herself.
"But look!". He bent down and grasped something long and rather thin in his hand. A small silver locket, on a long fine chain, which somehow seemed very familiar.
'To my Sweetheart. Love you forever, Mum x' sighing Peggy pocked it and left the station with Ben back to the Queen Vic.
