Alexia's Story:
As soon as the little child's soft bottom touched the concrete step she started to cry. The steps lead up to a house and from the door a woman appeared. She gathered the girl up in her arms and took her straight to the car. Alexia ended up at a police station and wasn't wanted by the woman. So she spent the next 2 years in foster care until she was adopted.
She hated her new family, apart from one girl called Becca. Becca was also adopted but Sam wasn't. He was 'the real child' and he got spoilt by Joe and Maggie, the parents. Joe was horrible to both Alexia and Becca. He told them that they were worthless because their families never wanted them. He even hit them if they did something wrong. Becca was 3 years older then Alexia so as soon as Becca turned 18 she left. Now Alexia was all alone and was even worse off. But through all the bad times she didn't cry because she knew crying wouldn't help.
1 year after Becca left, Alexia couldn't take anymore. She was 16 and couldn't be treated this way. She had to be her own woman and make it on her own. So she left. She ran away from home with a rucksack of things and £50 from Joe's wallet.
But after 3 months on the street and a week without any food, once her money had run out, Alexia was missing a family. Not her family, just people. It was very cold that night and Alexia thought of Becca to keep her warm. She remembered Becca's famous saying that they always told each other, 'whenever you need help; just ask'
Alexia needed help.
"Please," she whispered, "I want help"
Again, her call was heard by the special spirit.
