I have re-named this. I think this title sounds better and plus Cap says it so I want it as a title. I hope you like it :)

chapter two

I could see Cap looking down at me. I was so afraid that he wouldn't want me here anymore. What if he thought I was weak? Him and his family was strong and then there was me, no-one in the world to looked after me. I don't remember my pa, I never met him. Cap had all this family around him, why would he want me here? I didn't get it, I didn't understand.

I felt more tears run down my face at the memory of what happen played through my mind. I felt Cap put his hand under my chin and raised my face to look at his. His hand whipped my tears away.

'It's ok. They won't hurt you here, Darlin'. Listen we'll get you dressed and go downstairs. I promise I'll protect you, sweetheart and that's what I'm going to do. Ain't no-one gonna hurt you Darlin'. ' He said.

I looked at him with a confused expression.

"What is it?' He asked.

'I don't understand.' I mumbled, I gaze the floor, to afraid to look him in the face.

"What don't you understand?" He asked. I shock my head. He'd think that i was foolish if I told him why.

' Come on. Let's get you dressed and then you can meet my family.' He said. He got me dressed in the clothes that he had brought me upstairs. He was trying to be careful of the marks that covered my body.

"Cap, what if they don't like me?" I said quietly.

"That won't happen, I told you, your safe here. Ain't no-one gonna hurt you. How many times do I have to tell you that Darcy?" He said.

He took my hand and moved out of the room and down the wooden stairs. My heart was beating faster as we made it to the bottom. I met the eye of Levicy Hatfield, she smiled warmly at me, I smiled weakly back at here.

Cap dragged me over to a tallish man. He looked mean and scary, he had a beard and gray hair that was back. A hat sat on his head and a brown coat with fur on it was on his body. He looked at me with his cold brown eyes.

"Uncle Jim, this is Darcy, she gonna be staying with us." Cap said.

"Well ain't you a shy little thing. Nice to meet you Darcy." He said to me. Cap's arm was around my body and held me close to him.

I met everyone else in the house. Ellison was Cap uncle, he was friendly and seemed nice. His son was Cotton top, he had white hair and had an innocent look about him, he was nice, friendly and had a big heart, i think he was one of my favorite people i had ever met. The Hatfield were not what i heard about them.

Everyone said that they were bad people. They seemed like a loving family who would stick by each other.

I was told by Levicy that it was election day in Kentucky tomorrow and they were going and i was welcome to come along to.

would I really fit in with this family?

would they really take care of me or would HE find me and hurt me, These were the thoughts that were running through me head all day.

Levicy set me up a place to sleep, that night. I laid awake wondering what tomorrow would bring.

Please review. I know it's not amazing but I was trying to give you something to read. It's all I could think of.
