A New Life

Chapter 1

Hi I am Mikayla Thatcher but My friends call me Miki. I am 17 and live

in Arizona. I used to live in New york but My mom left, My dad Hit me and

was drunk all the time, and My step mom hated me. so everything worked

out right? wrong. When my Mom left I was three. My Dad found someone

to Marry so I could have a Mom.



But My Dad started drinking and Hitting me More everyday. My

stepmom didn't care and after My dad commited suicide kicked me out. I

was 14 and pregnaut at the time. Life sucked on the streets I lived in a car

and found comfort in dark alleys. After two yrs. of living on the streets with

a baby I moved to Arizona to find old friends.



But they had all Moved to California. I took refuge in strangers

houses because the government found out I was homeless. I was put back

in school and given a new and better life. I moved about Twelve times

before I found someone I liked. Her name was Death Caine.



She was Awesome to me. She never said anything to me because I

was only 17 and had a baby. She reffused to use Ill-spoken words, infact it

was forbidden. Death treated me and Torch like her own. She herself still a

tennager But I was company in her eyes. After that I never had to live on

the streets again. Torch, My Son, grew up fast.



It seems like days. but its been years since I was called a lousy

Street rat. I miss my Home but You can't have the world. I tried looking for

my Mom. but No names came up as Elissa M. Thatcher. After that I

learned My real name and it isn't Mikayla R. Thatcher.



Its Bryane C. Dunkin. I freaked out. I hadn't known who I was for 17

yrs. I hated it. I wanted to die I phased out over and over. and then I forgot

I had a son and Partied More and more. I left home and stayed gone for

days. When I came home Death wouldn't let me near Torch, but shoved

me out the door to work. So I went.



I worked as long as possible then went home to see torch. But she

still wouldn't let me near him. Instead I snuck into his room and hugged

him goodnight. Once I woke him and he cried. It was hard for me to sooth

him because he forgot who I was.



so Death ran into the room, but by then I had him in my arms and

sleeping. She smiled but wouldn't let me see. Then she saw me cry. She

asked why and I simply said "Because he doesn't know who I am anymore"

and I wouldn't let him go not at that moment I wanted to be in his life so

much yet stayed away so long. So I cried.
