Authors note: so sorry guys for the long delay! As i explained in previous chapters I am in my final year of school so I'm extremely stressed out about exams and colleges and everything a student stresses out about, so I felt extremely bad for leaving you guys hanging so i decided to spare some time and write a new chapter. I'm sorry if it doesn't seem well written I just wanted to treat you guys.

Anyway thanks for the follows, favourites and reviews keep them coming!

Chapter Four: When Ellyza woke up

Ellyza felt as if she was floating upon a cloud of marshmallows for how could her sleep been so perfect? She feared opening her eyes for then she would have to wake up to the hatred she faced everyday and after that lovely dream she feared she wouldn't be able to take anymore. So it came to a surprise to Ellyza when she opened her eyes and didn't recognise anything.

Tears started to well up as she was entranced by the foreign room but before she could cry the door opened.

"Hey doll" It was Tony.

Then Ellyza remembered being stranded and saved by Tony and staying the night with him and Steve.

'That's right they were taking her back today' she thought, perhaps that's the worst thing that could have happened as Ellyza didn't realise but the hours she spent with Tony and Steve were going in end, in fact that was only the beginning.

'Hi ya Tony" Ellyza yawned rubbing her eyes to wake herself up more. Tony couldn't but smile at the action believing Ellyza to be the cutest girl he's ever seen and no doubt he'd never find someone as adorable as her.

"You feeling alright doll?" Tony asked. Last night wasn't easy for and Tony knew that. That's why he struggled to find the words to tell Ellyza she wasn't returning to the Orphanage as the paperwork came back that morning declaring Tony and Steve as Ellyza's parents.

It was a relief for Tony when Steve walked in just as Ellyza was shaking her head yes. Subtly Tony shook his head to tell Steve he hadn't told her yet.

"Hey sweetheart" Steve said to Ellyza as he leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead, closing his eyes as he inhaled the sweet scent that seemed to wrap itself around Ellyza. He was elated that she was all theirs now and he couldn't wait to tell her as he knew Tony wouldn't have been able to formulate the wording.

"Hello Steve" Ellyza replied ducking her head as a blush warmed her checks as Steve's actions.

"Hey sweetie, there's something I and Tony would like to tell you okay?" Steve told. Immediately Ellyza's attention turned to him, focused in a way a five year should never be.

"I know last night we told you we were bringing you back to the Orphanage today" Steve began. Ellyza nodded her head at that. 'Yes' Ellyza remembered 'Were they bringing her back now?'

"Well Ellyza that's not happening anymore" he went on. Ellyza frowned in confusion.

"I don't understand" she whispered 'where was she going?' she thought.

"Ellyza sweetheart" Steve said. He came forward till he was kneeling in front of Ellyza, eye level with her when he told her the next sentence.

"You're staying here forever, we adopted you last night" he told her. He could feel Tony on the other side of him, giving Ellyza reassurance, but all she did was stare,

She couldn't believe him.

No one has ever wanted her.

So she stared.

And stared. For how could anyone want her? And when she was finished staring at the worried faces of Tony and Steve she burst into tears.

Author's note: PS I just want to remind everyone that emotionally Ellyza is a lot younger than 5 years old, remember she has been neglected all her life and no one has ever adopted her. It is no wonder that she is acting this way.

Thanks for all the support, hope to talk to you soon. If you have any questions PM and please review.
