AN: Here's a new story kids! Lol Ok I hope you enjoy this one! *smiles*'

Chapter 1: A new life

Helga looked through window up at the dark gray sky, as they drove house after house. Until they reach her new home it stood two stories tall. Helga sighed as she opened the car door. The cold wind stung her painfully, she looked around. The tree where bare, with no leaves, not a kid out and about playing or laughing. It was an eerie silence, something she wasn't use to.

She wrapped her around her chest as she walked to the house, remembering the day she heard the dreadful news.

*Flashback*

Helga was sitting on the couch flipping through the channels finally settling for Disney. Munching on in apple she laid down and relaxed till the door bell rang. Grumbling to herself she got up to answer the door expecting it to be her best friend Samantha, to keep her company. She was surprised to meet a police officer. "Um, can I help you?" she asked and leaned against the door frame casually. "Are you Helga Pataiki?" The officer asked. Helga nodded. "Is there something wrong?" she asked quickly. "Yes, there is, this afternoon your parents were hit by a drunk driver and unfortunately, they died." The officer reported, sadly. Helga stood there shocked, "ma'm?" the officer asked, waving his hand in her face. Helga's world went dizzy, till everything went black.

"Miriam, Bob?" she mumbled to herself, as she opened her eyes and adjusted to the light. "Where I'm I?" she asked sitting up slightly. "It's okay Helga," the officer reassured her. "Helga since you are fourteen and a minor we have to send you to a foster home." The officer informed her, Helga shook her head. "I can live by myself, please!" Don't do this to me!!" she wailed. "I'm sorry Helga" the officer said.

*end of flashback*

Helga now sixteen has been to five houses each one she ran away from until someone finally someone adopted her. So she left sunny Florida where she grew up all of her life, to Ohio.

Helga turned around to her adopted parents where. They were very cheery, and happy. Her 'father' named Jake was tall with brown hair, and her 'mother' name Cindy was short with blonde hair. They had a fifteen year old daughter also. "Ok Helga," her Jake said, "welcome to your new home!" They swung open the door revealing a nicely decorated living room. Helga stepped into the warm and cheery house, looking around shocked. The Christmas tree was up and was twirling around while playing Christmas melodies. The fire place was on and you could here the crackling of the wood as it burned, the coffee table in the middle had a big bowl contain candy, and two big white couches. "Bethany!" the Jake yelled, and seconds later a tall brunette girl came running down the stairs. "Yes?" she asked as she reached the bottom. "This is Helga, your new adopted sister." Jake said as he placed his hand on Helga's shoulder. Helga had the urge to shrug it off but she didn't want to start on a bad note. Bethany smiled warmly and stuck out her hand. "Hi, I'm Bethany," she said. Helga smiled and shook her hand, "hi, I'm Helga." Bethany smiled again, 'I'll show you where your room will be," she offered as she grabbed Helga's hand and dragged her up stairs.

As Helga walked in the room she instantly loved it. The walls were dark blue but the borders were a bright dark lime green. The floor was wooden with a white rug with flowers. The bed was a big canopy bed with a white comforter, and the drapes were a lighter blue then the walls. She had a vanity with some make-up already there, and a big closet, she also had a shelve with a huge stereo, and a TV.

"Wow," was all she could say. "I'm glad you like it, I designed myself." Bethany explained. "You did?" Helga asked shocked. Bethany nodded, and smiled.

"Girls dinner!!!" Cindy yelled, Helga smiled, "race ya!" Helga yelled as she ran down the stairs, Bethany laughed and chased after her.

That night Helga laid down on her new bed wondering what life with these people will be like.
