Bebe was stunned and for a moment lost for words

' America were moving to America no we can't I can't ' Bebe begin in shock

" Im sorry dear but we are the tickets are booked this house will be sold off and we have a much bigger house waiting for us and once you are their you will love it you will soon forget about this place ' Tom said

' But papa I was born in this house and lived here all my life it is all I know I have never even been to the city let alone another country and what about my friends I can't go ' Bebe begin but got cut off

' Bebe stop it your making. Show of yourself your not a little child and you will love your new home and can make lots of new memories ' Her mother put in

' I don't believe I'm hearing this someone pinch me I'm dreaming first having to marry him and now this what next are you with child having another baby one to replace me once I'm married off ' Said Bebe

' Dont be so ridiculous and you know your mother can not bare any more children we have tried to give you siblings but it wasn't to be and your just acting selfish this is my big chance America is the place to be just now it is a marvellous country and you get more with the money and you will grow to love it and any children you have will love it too they will be American too ' Said Tom making Bebe distracted but she didn't reply as she was so angry and later she faked feeling unwell so she could leave her party early so cried herself to sleep hugging her little dog first having to marry Cartman a man she hated then being uprooted and taken to America a country she hardly heard off what next could things get worse for her

Far away in the country of Ireland in the poorest of parts a very poor family practically dressed in rags were burying their father Stuart

Stuart Mcormick was a well known heavy drinker and always getting into fights and this time he just picked the wrong person who took him outside and beat him so bad Stuart never recoverd and now he left behind 2 young sons Kevin who was 22 but had learning problems and acted like a little kid at times also 19 year old Kenny who was very smart and cunning and he was the man of the house as he was mature for his age and a 16 year old daughter Karen who was a hard working who kept the cottage spotless but very quiet girl and a little shy. and also his widow Carol who was on the verge of a breakdown and couldn't really cope with everything and now the family were laying Stuart to rest and family and friends had gathered to say goodbye and father Brady was their a lot praying he'd been their at the wake when Stuart's body was laid out at home for a couple of days then the mass and the funeral service that was held in the small churchyard and it was a small simple service as the family couldn't afford a big one and they walked theirs nd Stuart's coffin was placed on the back of a horse drawn cart by a couple of friends for free and the family followed that

Carol stood at the grave crying as she was comforted by a neighbor and her daughter and two sons stood silently in a somber way but the truth was they were glad to see the back of their father as he was very abusive would yell and swear and often took his belt off to them and any money the family had he would go and drink it then come home drunk and start his carry on and they hated him for that and also he left the family in terrible debt and debt collections coming to their door demanding payments was a common thing in the Mcormick household and they even came to his wake demanding money and now Kenny thought he seen them in the distance getting closer by the second

soom 2 well dressed men on horse back came into view Kenny was right and he felt a sickening knot in his stomach

' Hey you lot I'm looking for a Stuart McCormick has anyone see him he owes me rent and I want it now 'One Of the men said in a posh English accent as he yelled at the family from his horse making carol cry harder

As Kevin had a few leaning problems it was Kenny that stepped foward to talk as he took over the responsibilities now

' your kinda late for that haven't you heard the good lord took him other day and so were burying now so can you come back another day and let me and my family mourn in peace it's all we ask of you to show some desency for the dead it's all we ask " Kenny said looking at the man on horse

' This has gone on long enough now your father had 7 months. warnings this would happen he owes the landlord quite a bit of money now and the master says enough is enough and wants his land back and those cottages on them so you have to get out ' The man said glaring at Kenny

' Well then I'm very sorry about everything we had no idea but I'm afraid you will have to wait to get tour land back as were busy at the moment and also we have no where else to go just now and also go and tell your landlord that his cottages are rat holes their is rats everywhere im surprised the great plague haven't started up again as we all have been bitten so your landlord should be playing us for living like that ' Kenny said as the 2 men looked at each other and then rode on

' Oh Carol the service was so beautiful so moving and father Brady did a magnificent job ' Said a woman a little later as the family decided to head home

' Thank you Mary indeed it was and I tried my best for him and gave him a good send off the best I could afford really I hoped he liked it ' Said Carol as everyone walked back to their cottage

As everyone all walked back to their homes they had to go down a huge steep hill and it gave them a great view but to Kennys horror the smell of burning filled Kennys nostrils and he seen thick black smoke in the distance coming from the cottages making him panic a bit

' OMG ma FIRE FIRE screamed Kenny as he and the others ran down the hill to see several cottages including his own now ablaze and those 2 evil looking men were nearby watching from their horses and making no attempts to put the fires out

'You fucking assholes. what the hell are you doing that's our homes and all our belongings are in their you evil bastards I'll fucking kill you for that 'Screamed Kenny making a dive for the cottage hoping to run in and save some stuff. but Kevin pulled him back knowing it be dangerous

' No No Kenny don't you'll get burned ' Said Kevin as Kenny sighed and suddenly made movements to attack the men and cussing them out but one of the men kicked Kenny on the chest sending him flying and landing in the dirt but even was okay and picked himself up

' Kenny omg ' screamed Karen running over to hug her brother as they had always been close

" Im alright princess don't worry ' Kenny said gently stroking his sisters long brown hair and then turning to look at the men again

" You sick fucking assholes that was our home where will we go now we have nothing all we had was in that cottage ' Kenny yelled

' Not my problem you just got to be off this land by night fall but listen I will take the girl she is a fine wench and will make a good little scullery maid up at the house for his lordship and will be fed and dressed well 'Said The man prodding Karen in the chest with his ridding crop

"You leave my sister alone she will never work for you if you were the last man alive and what more do you want from us blood you took our home and all our belongings you ruin my fathers funeral and still you hound us ' Kenny yelled hugging his terrified sister who was crying

' Come on joe were wasting our time here these scumbags are all the same just let's go ' the other man said as he rode off

" Dont you worry boy I'll be back and by tonight I don't want to see you or I'll have you all arrested and I will take the girl and you'll never see her again ' Joe said before riding off

' Oh Mary what will we do we're homeless now and those monsters want us gone how could they do that to us ' Carol said crying and hugging a sobbing Karen

" Shh Carol don't cry look you can all come back with me I have e plenty of room and your all welcome and if they say anything I'll set big Bill on them they won't like being chased by a angry Bull ' Mary said as she had some cattle and a huge bad tempered brown and cream bull with very sharp horns

' Oh Mary thank you so much your an angel I'd be lost without you I So wish I could repay you but I have nothing to give I lost everything in the fire "Carol sobbed as Mary led Carol away from the burning cottage and the horrible men

" It's alright darling I will help you start up again from scratch and help you and the children make a fresh start your safe with me and also we have the Lord on our side and he will help too if we keep praying to him and also these horrible heathens those men are they will pay on judgment day they will burn in the lake of fire with the devil himself but the good Lord will take care of us now you'll see ' Said Mary as she led Carol to her cottage and talking about God as Mary had very strong catholic beliefs and believed that's why they were so so poor and often said that Jesus loved the poor because he was a poor humble man himself and his family was poor and those with money like the landlords were evil and greedy and God hated that' so he took care of the poor

well that's that chappy done more to come
