Chicago ~ East Hills Orphanage 1894 ~ Chapter One
A shadow crept silently across the dark room and stopped next to a bed against the far wall, under a window. The moonlight filters through the window and reflects off of the long blonde hair of a girl. She is bent over trying to awaken another girl and isn't having much luck with it. She shakes the girl roughly and mumbled cursing can be heard. The girl sits up and the moonlight shows her features; shoulder length red hair and freckles can be seen. "God Kat it's like two in the morning let me rest in peace."
The blonde known as Kat shakes her head, "No we're leaving now, if we don't go tonight we'll never see each other again. I overheard Miss Humphrey and Mr. Randolph talking, they said we both cause too much trouble and are going to be moved into a separate orphanage, TOMORROW!"
The red head's jaw dropped and Kat stood up and started gathering a bunch of stuff together. "Come on Jo, I wanna get out of here as soon as possible."
Jo grabbed the only things she owned, an extra outfit and an angel pendant necklace her mom gave her before she died. Kat had already packed her stuff in a little bag and was ready to go. They crept down the hallway and out the front door; they then went running down the road towards the train station. Kat went up to the ticket booth, "Where's the next train outta here go?"
The guy looked at the piece of paper, "New York City." Kat bought two tickets before making her way back to Jo.
"Okay we're going to New York."
"New York?"
"Yeah it's da next train outta here."
"Well I guess dat's okay den."
