Chapter 2
A New Family
Shania was devastated, and on top of that, she had found out that her beloved husband had cheated on her. Raping a little girl. She hated her life, and when she found out that he had been proven not guilty, she new that she would not live, after all, she did turn him in. He beat her to death, and when he was charged with murder, he told them that she had killed herself. Again, proven not guilty, Natalie figured out that next, he would come after Shay, the baby girl.
So, one night, she snuck into the house, grabbed Shay, and simply walked out the front door. She had to get out of this town, because basically, she had just kidnapped a baby. So on her way home, she saw the little girl, the one that he had rapped. She was crying, and behind her were her dead parents. Her name was Maria; she was about 6, Crystals age. She asked if she could get out of the town with them, she took her on the boat to Tortue, got Crystal and Shay, and they were off. They lived in Tortue for the next ten years.
Tortue was a pretty rough town. You had to know how to take care of yourself. Since Natalie knew a lot about making weapons and armor, she opened up her little blacksmiths shop, which was in her home, and she got a good deal of money off of it. Crystal picked up on it fast. She was even better than her mother was. So, Natalie let her take it over, and she opened a little jewelry shop. As for Marie, her and Crystal became really good friends, so, she still lived in Tortue with them, however, she opened a bar and lived in the basement of it. And Shay was having just a dandy time being a young kid, but, she did get into a lot of trouble beating up other kids who made fun of her scare. She had gotten it when her father had beaten her as a small child.
Finally, Natalie had settled down with her family. She was finally happy. This was the first time Crystal saw her mother this happy.
