Piper and Pearl pulled up to the manor's drive way.
"Is that your house?" asked pearl with wide eyes looking at the house
"Yes it is would you like to go inside?"
"Yes ma'am"
Piper got out of the car and walked over to help pearl out. The two walked
up the stairs and into the house.
"I'm home!!" screamed piper as she took off her coat. Phoebe came out from
the living room.
"Hey Pip-... whose this?"
"This is pearl and she will be staying with us for awhile" said Piper.
Phoebe gave her a confused look.
"It's a long story. But Pearl, this is Phoebe my sister"
"Hi" said a shy Pearl
"Hello little miss," said Phoebe crouching down to Pearls eye level "how
are you?"
"Very fine thank you"
"Well for a young one she certainly has good manners" Phoebe said standing
back up and looking at Piper.
"Yes she does," said Piper "well excuse us but I am going to take Pearl up
stairs to get her washed up and find some clean clothes. We have some of
our old dresses from when we were her old age in the attic, right?"
"Yes I think there is. But remember what is also up there," said Phoebe
with a concerned look on her face.
"I know, I'll be careful," said Piper with a smile "come on Pearl"
Piper continued up the stair with a shy looking Pearl right behind her.
Piper took Pearl up into her room
"Would you like to take a bath?" asked Piper
Pearl nodded
"Ok then, well I will set it up for you. Just sit right down on my bed and
I will be right back"
Pearl sat down on Pipers bed as Piper disappeared into the bathroom. Pearl
didn't understand why she trusted Piper. She usually acted like a little
brat around people so that they wouldn't bother her, which she tried to do
with Piper, but with Piper it was different. Piper wasn't scared off by
Pearls little act of brattiness, and Pearl couldn't figure out why. Pearl
was different from most people. Strange things were always happening around
her, and she didn't understand. She never liked people around her, which
was manly the reason why she acted like a brat but she really wasn't. Pearl
was actually a very sweet little girl, who just wanted a regular family.
After her grandmother had died she was forced to run away because she had
no other family that she knew about. She couldn't go to a foster home it
was to dangerous with the strange thing always happening. Once something
strange happened concerning Pearl she knew she would be right back on the
street waiting for a new foster home to take her. And Pearl didn't want
that. She rather live a life on the street rather than going from foster
home to foster home for the rest of her life.
"Well the bath is ready," said Piper as she walked out of the bathroom "Do
you want any help?"
Pearl just shook her head "thank you"
"You are very welcome. The towels are in the cupboard next to the sink I
will go and find you something to wear"
At that Piper left the room and headed up stairs to the attic to look for a
dress for Pearl. As she was looking through boxes Phoebe and Paige came in.
"I hear that we have a visitor," said Paige sitting down on the floor next
to Piper
"Yes we do, her name is Pearl"
"Are you going to tell us where you found her and why you brought her
here?" asked Phoebe
"I found her stealing food from the grocery store. She seemed to be all
alone so I brought her home. She is very sweet once she trusts you. At
first she acted like a brat but that was all an act."
"What makes you think she wont steal from us?" asked Paige
"I don't know. She just seems so helpless. I can't explain it but I feel
connected to her some how. It sounds stupid but that's how I feel"
"A connection?"
"Ya, I don't know why. But I have to go and bring this to Pearl she will
need something to wear when she gets out of the bath. Do you think that
these shoes and this dress will fit her Phoebe?"
"Ya I think so"
"Good, come on"
Piper, Phoebe and Paige walked down to Piper's room. Piper placed the dress
and shoes on her bed.
"Pearl, are you ok?" Piper yelled into the bathroom
"Yes," said pearl back
"I laid out some clothes and a hair brush on the bed. Come down stairs when
you are done and I will fix you hair, OK?"
"OK" answered Pearl
"Is that your house?" asked pearl with wide eyes looking at the house
"Yes it is would you like to go inside?"
"Yes ma'am"
Piper got out of the car and walked over to help pearl out. The two walked
