Chapter Two

Yasmin stared at the baby she had just given birth to, her hatred for the man who had forced himself on her coupled with the fact that she was going to constantly be on the run made her want to leave the child somewhere humans could find it but her mothering instincts were screaming for her to take the child with her. She stood there for an hour in indecision when her choice was made for her, the baby opened its eye's and they were sea green just like that man's had been. Yasmin growled low in her throat and begin running for the nearest human settlement determined to get rid of this child once and for all.

Sally Heartland the owner of the town's orphanage yawned as she got ready for bed, only to be rudely awakened two hours later by someone ringing the doorbell. Sally yawned and stretched as she grabbed her robe and a lantern then walked down the stairs to the door. A baby's cry filtered into the wooden building from the cracks causing Sally to hasten to the door. A small child lay on the top step right beside the door, it was wrapped in bloody pieces of clothes, a small head full of black hair and a pair of sea green eyes was all it took for Sally to lift up the child and bring it inside the orphanage. After unwrapping the bloody cloth from around the baby and cleaned her up Sally put down her age as three weeks since that's how old the child looked. "Hm, what to name you little girl?" Sally said as she thought out loud then a name came to her Star Josephine Lake.

When Star was two years old she showed intelligences of kids six years older then herself, she never fussed or complained and she always did as she was told. One particular thing about star however was her hair it grew as she grew it never got any longer until she got taller. At the age of three Star was adopted by a family of thieves, who figured they would use her as bait in order to get cars and the like to stop and talk to her so they begin to teach Star how to pick pockets and purses and by the age of seven Star was robbing different houses. The family of thieves was soon very rich because of Star and they liked it, however they feared that Star would leave them so they begin to lock her into the basement. They made sure to outfit the basement with different games and with carpets they even had a bathroom and a kitchen put down there on the sly of course. Since Star usually had the whole day to herself she made different things first it was just toys and girly clothes then it became weapons mask's and boy's clothes since the pants were much easier to get around in. After experimenting a couple of times with different dye's she herself made from different plants she would collect from gardens on the way back home when she found the color's black, crimson and gold went together nicely if you got the proportions just right so that became her outfit. Black pants with golden thread and a black long-sleeved loose necked shirt with crimson designs and a black mask that covered the bottom of her face, for weapons she took a sleeping powder she had made, four knives a lock-picking kit and several other odds and ends.
