Shawn sat in mcdonalds a big mac, fries, and a coke lay in front of him. Mr. and Mrs. Cullen sat across from him eyeing him critically as he scarfed down his food with speed many could only dream of. Carlisle asked Shawn many questions about his life which he refused to answer or answered with vague yes or no answers. Shawn was watching the Cullens warily out of his eyes when a high dreamy voice exclaimed, "ooh, you found him," turning around Shawn was met with the two teenagers that was with the Couple earlier that day, "he's sooo cute!!"
The girl had short black spiky hair and a smile that seemed to light up the room. She looked just like a Pixie from one of the tales his mother use to tell him before his father told her he was too old for fairy tales and the stories stopped. The boy looked picture perfect his broze hair stood atop his pale face.
Shawn stiffened as the pixie like girl hugged him. The last time he was hugged was a year before the foster agency had taken him away from home. His father had deemed that only babies were hugged and as he was 11 he was too old to be shown that kind of affection and he was beaten for even wanting it. The girl must have sensed it because she let go and sat down beside him the boy grabbed a chair from a nearby table and brought it over to sit down at the end.
"How did shopping go Alice," Carlisle said trying to take some attention off Shawn. Alice immediately went off into vivid detail about everything she had done from what store she went to right down to the designer shoes she saw some passerby wear that she just had to buy. For a fleeting momment Shawn felt sorry for the boy that was dragged along with her it seemed like it would be a nightmare to go shopping with this chick. As if he could hear him the corners of the other boys cheeks rose just slightly making Shawns forehead wrinkle in confusion.
Alice turned to Shawn, "so what's your name? Mine's Alice and that's my annoying brother Edward."
Shawn hesitated a momment before answering, "Shawn."
"It's nice to meet you Shawn. Do you like to shop Edward here hates it. Do you live around here, well of course you do. Oh, were going to be great friends…"
"Alice!!!" Carlisle and Edward yelled. Alice stopped talking and looked at them before huffing and crossing her arms in a pout. Despite himself Shawn had to laugh it was funny to see her look like such a young child.
"Now, Shawn how about we make a deal. You need to go somewhere were you'll be safe and won't have to steal," Shawn started to interupt but Carlisle put up a hand to silence him, "you can either do this willingly or we can drag you kicking and screaming. No child deserves to live this way and I can't allow it so you will come with us and we will get you into a safe home, Agreed."
Shawn sighed did he really have a choice in this. Whether he liked it or not he was going to be dragged back to the orphanage back to the hell hole they called a home. Nodding he answered a meed, "yes sir." Maybe he'd find a way out of this a way to escape the home again. As they were leaving he didn't notice the Edward looking at him a contemplating look on his face.
