SERINA KANE
PART ONE: BRENDA'S NEW SISTER.

It was six p.m., on Sunday in Beverly Hills. Brenda Walsh and her brother Brandon, were for parents who had gone to pick up their new adopted daughter. Her name was Serina Kane and she was seventeen.
"I wonder what's she's like." Brenda asked Brandon. "I mean mom and dad didn't tell us much about her."
"Well, you'll be sharing with her so I'd hope she's nice. Also we'll have to introduce her to everybody at school tomorrow." He replied.
"I hope all our friends will like her. Oh, I hear mom and dad. C'mon lets go meet our new sister." Brenda said excited.
The front door opened and their father walked in carrying a medium sized suitcase. He put it down and turned to look back out the door.
"Hey, kids." He told them. "Your mom and new sister will be right in."
"Need any help carrying any bags in," asked Brandon.
"No this is all she brought but you can take it upstairs and put it next to her dresser."
"Okay dad." Brandon said picking up the bag and heading up the stairs. He returned a minute later.
Just then a girl walked in with Mrs. Walsh beside her.
"This is your new sister, Serina."
Brenda looked at her new sister. She was beautiful. Long wavy red hair wore loose fell down to her waist framing a heart shaped face and a slim figure. But her eyes were unlike any she had ever seen. They were a deep purple in color and looked softly out of her face.
"Hello" she said so softly that her voice could barely be heard. She just stood there looking down.
"She must be shy" thought Brenda to herself. "In a minute we'll go up and she will feel less uncertain."
After Brandon said hi and tried to get her to say anything and failing, Brenda took Serina's hand and told her "C'mon sis, I'll show you our room and help you unpack."
"Thank you," Serina said just as quietly as before and let Brenda lead her upstairs.
Brandon looked at his parents. "Not much of a talker is she."
"She's like that," his mom said. "She'll open up to us when she feels more at home. She's been bounced from foster home to home so much, I'm not surprised she's so distant. Let Brenda handle her tonight, and tomorrow you can both can show her around the school and introduce her to your friends."
"Yeah, they'll make her feel welcome" he said'I'm sure they'll get along fine."
"After she's had time to settle in, tell her and Brenda that dinner will be ready in forty five minutes."
"Sure mom."
Upstairs in their room Brenda was helping Serina to unpack. "you didn't bring much. I guess the rest of your stuff will come later."
"No." Serina said softly. "This is all I Have."
"Are you okay?" Brenda asked her.
"Why do you asked?" Serina softly whispered.
You always talk so quietly that it's hard to hear you and your so calm. Don't you feel happy to be hear?"
"No" Said Serina.
"Why not?" Brenda inquired.
"I don't know" she said in the same quiet voice she always used. "I have no feelings."
"What do you mean you have no feelings?" Brenda asked.
"I have no feelings." Serina softly repeated.,
There was a knock on the door and Brandon stuck his head in. "Hey it's time to eat you two, let's go."
"Come on Serina, let's go eat. We'll talk somemore later." Serina nodded and followed her quietly.
They came into the dining room where Mrs. Walsh was putting the food on the table. She looked up and smiled. "Why don't you sit over here next to Brenda, honey."
"Yes ma'am" Serina replied quietly.
Everyone sat down and mister Walsh asked her if she would like to say a prayer.
"I don't know any." She said softly.
"That's okay, don't worry." He looked over towards Brandon. "How about you Brandon?" he asked.
"Sure dad." He said and said the prayer.
"Serina, would you like some chicken and rice?" Mrs. Walsh asked her.
"Yes please." Serina answered softly.
She took some and ate quietly, making no sound. Her face showing no expression the way it had been the whole time she had been here.
Her new parents exchanged a worried look between them. Then her mother turned to her.
"Serina we just want you to know that we care about you and you're a part of our family now. We hope you'll be happy here with us."
"It doesn't matter." She said softly. "I don't feel."
"Your not sick or anything are you?" her father asked concerned. "We're not going to fast and upsetting you, are we?"
"No" she said. "I don't feel."
"What do you mean honey," her mother asked. "We don't understand."
"I don't feel. I have no feelings."
"Everyone has feelings." Her father said gently.
"I can't." She said softly. "I have no feelings, I am not like you, I am different."
"If it's your eyes," Brenda told her. "It's okay, They're pretty."
"It's not my eyes.' She said softly. "It's me."
"How are you different" Brenda asked.
"I don't know" Serina replied.
"Why don't you two go upstairs." Their mother told them. "Serina, your probably just tired. Why don't you go to bed and get some rest, you'll feel better in the morning. Brenda help her out."
"Sure thing mom." She said taking Serina's hand. "c'mon sis."
In their room Brenda told her. "You met ready for bed and I'll be right back. You'll feel better tomorrow."
"Okay," Serina said as Brenda left. Slowly she undressed and put on the only nightshirt she had. She sat down on her bed and looked around the room. This was her home, or that's what they told her. But she had no home, she never could. She was empty inside. No feelings lived inside her. She couldn't feel. She would never feel love'sadness, hate or any other emotion. Why? She didn't know. She only had memories dating back a year. Before that everything was just a blank.
Brenda returned. "Ready for bed?" she asked.
"Yes." Serina said.
Brenda turned off the lights and soon fell asleep. Serina lay there, her empty purple eyes staring into darkness.
