Chapter 1
Harlem New York City is a busy place during the winter season. People rushing to get home and kids hollering under the light of the Midnight moon. I've always wanted to be those kids. Go to school, come home to warm hugs and kisses…and delicious food! But you see...that never happens. I live in a rotten, smelly Orphanage, if you didn't know that.
"Mama…MOMMY" A little voice calls from down below.
"Can someone please shut her up so I can sleep!?" Ugh…Pepper.
"Wake up and Shut up!" They all kept saying.
"Leave Molly alone,"
"You wanna make something out of it July?" Pepper's loud feet stomped the floor. I turn around to see them tackling eachother to the ground. Crap…
I swing my Old, White All Star converse over my bed and run over to the commotion.
"Stop it!" I yell and pull Pepper off of July. "Lay off July! If Hannigan wakes up we'll be out in the street"
After a few seconds, the girls all began to walk away to their beds. Molly, the youngest in the room had her long curly blond hair clenched in her tiny palms. She wiped her tear stained cheeks with her Teddy bear.
"It's ok Molly, it was only a nightmare," I pick her up and carry her to her bed.
"I want my Mommy and Daddy," She whined and crossed her arms.
"Uh, Molly," Pepper piped in, "We ain't got no Mommy's and Daddy's…and we ain't ever gonna have any, and that's why were called Orphans,"
Anger filled up inside of me to just about blow it. I jumped off the bed and pushed Pepper off the other side. She fell and I looked over at her.
"I'm not an Orphans, my parents are alive and they're gonna come a get me someday," I proudly said.
"And Annie's got a locket ad note to prove it," Molly said jumping on the bed.
"Molly shut the F-,"
"PEGGY!" July yelled at her.
"Read it to me Annie," She pleaded me. With a smile and took my note out of my black jeans and sat on the bed. Molly leaned her head on my shoulder
"Brother, here we go again," Pepper mumbles as she falls on the squeaky bed.
I began, "Please take care of our darling, her name is Mallory "Bobbi" after her father's first name, she was-"
"-Born on October 28," Tessie cuts me off.
"We are coming back to get her soon. We have half of the silver necklace that is around her necklace, so that when we come back you will know that she's OUR BABY," Everyone said and laughed to each other.
I sat Molly up and stomped over to Pepper. I looked her straight in the eye and pulled the sleeve up on my blue long, long-sleeved shirt.
"Do you want to sleep with your teeth inside your mouth, or out?" I narrowed my eyes at her. "Now get to sleep! I know these mean nothing to you, and you probably wish it was an iPhone or iPad. But these mean the world to me. Their proof I have parents," I finished and put my note back in my jean pocket.
I looked around to see everyone going back to their beds. Smiling, I brushed my beach-wave reddish-brown hair back with my fingers and turned to Molly.
"You think they're still out there Bobbi?" Molly asked in her cute little voice. I smiled and sat on her bed, taking her in my arms.
"I do, and someday I'm going to meet them,"
"Can you sing me the song?" I smiled and brushed her hair away from her face.
"Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straightening his tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill!
Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
Was giving up me!
So maybe now it's time,
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"
Maybe…."
When I looked down, Molly was dozing off. I laid her head on the pillow and pulled the pink blankets over her. Walking over to Tessie's bed, I lifted her hand off the side of the bed. Pepper kicked the blankets every time I tried to put them on her. I took July's glasses off and smiled at the room.
Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line...
don't really care
As long as they're mine!
So maybe now this prayer
The last one of its kind...
Won't you please come get your "Baby"
Maybe...
The Bells of the Midnight mass rang and I reached under my bed for my black backpack. I threw my stuff in and stood up with a flashlight.
"What are you doing now?" Pepper woke up annoyed.
"If my folks haven't found me, then I'm going to find them," I said and stood up to face her.
"Ugh….."
I flip on the flashlight and shine it in both their eyes, "Pepper, watch out for Molly,"
"You'll get caught again," Kate, a girl with long blonde hair said.
"No, I won't"
I crept down the steps. Living in this place your entire life, you know which steps you gotta avoid. I looked ahead to see Miss Hannigan had forgotten to turn on the Alarm system. I adjust my backpack and tiptoe towards the door. Reaching my hand out I open the door…
*Meanwhile at the Cullen building*
"Carlisle, you must think this through. You need the promotion so that we may earn enough money to move out to the countryside so it's easier to hunt. I can't live off of weeks old worth of blood anymore," Esme Cullen said to her husband as she washed her face.
Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Sweetheart, the children are enjoying New York city…Edward and Emmett have both joined the baseball team and Alice-"
"-Is using up a bunch of our money to buy clothes she will probably never wear," Esme cuts in.
The door open and a young teen appeared in the doorway. Her blonde hair was up in a messy bun and she was still in daytime clothes.
"Rosalie? Do you need something sweetheart?" Esme turned her motherly side on and walked over to one of her daughters.
"Alice bought furniture and has put it in the extra room at the end of the hallway," She crossed her arms and pointed towards the door. Alice is up to something again. Carlisle and Esme followed Rosalie down the hallway and opened the door to the extra room.
"Hey!" They all turn around to see a Pixie looking girl stand pouting with her arms crossed.
"Alice what is the meaning of this?" Carlisle demanded his second adopted daughter.
"I can't tell you, but you'll see," She giggled and the teenage Vampire skipped down the hallway and up a tiny set of stairs to her bedroom, leaving three people in a state of confusion.
