Im sry this chapters short and kinda slow things will pick up soon though, promise. Please enjoy and review!

Oh no...Where did she go? Did he get her? She was kinda small; I don't think she could really fight.
"Hello...?" I called.

No response.

"H-Hello...?" I tried again.

No one answered.

This is getting scary, I don't like being alone especially after I've seen that monster.
I started to cry again, for the first time in a long time I actually wanted to go back to the home, anything was better than this.

"...Hey there." I heard someone say and I screamed.

"Sorry." The same person said.

I turned around and was so relieved to see it was the girl from clothes were dirtier and a little torn with some blood stains on them. She had her hands raised above her head like when someone gets arrested and had a sincere look on her face.

"Are you okay?" She asked and lowered her hands.

I nodded slowly.

"Wh-what about you?"

"Me? Oh I'm fine don't worry."

"But what happened to the vampire?"

"Oh don't worry he's gone I...err...sent him on his way"

She was lying I could tell. Ms. Webber always said lying was a terrible thing, one of the worst things you can do. I tried my hardest not to lie and I think I did a pretty good job so far. It didn't really matter though; everyone would always say I was lying when I said something.

"...It's not nice to lie." Oh no, why did I say that? I hope she's not mad. It surprised me when I heard her laugh, was she gonna laugh at me too?

"You're pretty bright for your age."

Huh? Did she just say I was smart?

"Then again I've been told I'm a terrible liar, still are you sure you wanna know what happened?"

I thought about it for a sec and I realized I didn't. As long as we were both okay I didn't really wanna know what happened to him.

"Well...he's not coming back right?"

"No that I promise."

"Okay."

She was a lot closer than she was before and I was finally able to get a good look at her. She was so skinny; it reminded me of myself it looked like she hadn't eaten in
awhile. Her shirt was actually more of a tank top; I think the sleeves might have been ripped. She wasn't wearing any shoes and her feet looked kinda dirty. She was all around small and was pretty short. I looked up at her face a saw the pretty green eyes if hers. They looked so soft and sincere, just like smile on her face.

"What are you doing here all alone?" She asked her face changed to look of concern.

"…I live here." I said quietly.
"Here?"

I nodded and pointed to the box in the corner.

"…In the box?"

I nodded again.
"Where are your parents?"

"I don't have any."
"Really?….Me either." She said. She said the last part quietly and had a faraway look in her eyes; I decided it might be best not to ask.
I think she was going to ask me another question but them my tummy started gurgling again.
"Hungry?" She asked laughing a bit.
I nodded again.
"What do you normally do for food?"
I guess I was going to have to tell her the truth, she seemed nice and I didn't want to lie to her.
"…I-I just came here this afternoon…I ran away from a home."

"So…you're an orphan then?"

I nodded again slowly.
She took a deep breath and ran her hands through her hair; it was too dark for me to make out the color.
She looked at me for a sec as if she was thinking about something, I just stared back.
"…Wait here." She said and then she vanished.

Oh no…She was going to come back right? I don't wanna be alone; I don't like this it's scary.

I walked slowly over to the box in the corner and crawled into the box. I hugged my knees to my chest and tried not to cry. She would be back right?...Right?

I couldn't take it anymore as I started to panic and cry again, why did everyone always leave me?

"Hey…" I heard and I jumped.

"Oh Sorry." She said sincerely, it was the girl from before. She did come back!

"Come here." She said pulling me out of the box.

She took out a big, fluffy, blue blanket from behind and wrapped it around me. I hugged it tightly to myself; it was so soft and warm.

"Here, eat up." She said handing me a dish of steaming liquid.
"…What is this?" I asked, curious.

"Its soup"

"This is soup?"

She nodded.
"It doesn't look like any soup I've ever seen."

"Try it, its good just be careful it's hot."

She took a spoonful and blew on it a little then handed it to me. I took a small sip of it and…it was…it was so good!

I immediately took the bowl and spoon and started eating.

"You like it?" she said laughing a little.

I nodded with a whole mouthful of the soup.

"What kind of soup is this?"

"Chicken noodle."

"I've never had a soup like this it's so good!" I told her.

She laughed again. It was so different when she laughed, it wasn't mean like the other kids or Mrs. Webber but it did make me curious.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." She said shaking her head. I decided to let it go, she was nice, I don't think she meant it like the other kids.

I finished up all the soup and I was fuller than I think I ever was in my whole life. In fact, this was the best I think I've ever felt in general.

"So…how come you were crying when I came back?" She asked, suddenly I didn't feel so good.
"I…was scared." I admitted.

"Scared of what?"

"…I was scared you wouldn't come back."

"Why did you think I wouldn't come back?"

"…Because nobody likes me."

"What do you mean?"

I took a deep breath and did my best to describe my life to her at the home. How the kids always picked on me and hurt me, how Ms. Webber would always yell at me and didn't believe anything I said, how I was always given scraps. By the time I finished my sad story, her mouth was hanging slightly open and she had the saddest look on her face, I wondered if my face looked like that too.

"Hey…come here." She said and she pulled me into a tight hug, that's when I lost it. I started to cry hysterically into her shoulder and I clung to her shirt as tightly as I could.

"Shh…it's okay." She said through my sobs every now and then. For the most part, she just let me cry and held me tight.

"Wh-Why are you being so nice to me?" I choked out.

"Because…not everyone is like the people in the home, some people are nice, plus I like you."

"Y-You do?"

She smiled down at me and nodded.

"Just relax; it's going to be okay." She said wiping my tears away.
"…I don't even know your name." I said.

"Well I don't know yours either but that doesn't mean I can't help you."

"…It's Erica"

"Nice to meet you Erica, my name is Asiyah." (A/N: her names pronouced A-sigh-yah, i made it up myself so its not a real name.)

Thanks so much to my good friend and beta Loulabelle, you help make my stories make sense thanks!
