Chapter

Raining, thunderstorm roaring Isabella sitting in the corner shivering "I'm c...c...cold" Isabella said the words barely came out from her mouth.

Car parking outside, Isabella on her feet and approaches the window, she has a little white dress and a necklace with name

Isabella

the only thing from her biological parents since she was a baby.

Isabella peeks through the window standing on her toes moving her hair slightly away from her face. She saw two people under two dark black umbrellas Isabella struggles to see their faces.

Isabella runs downstairs to get a good look.

The rest of the children playing and running in the hallway, but Isabella loves to be alone with her thoughts. She stands in front of the office door leaning against it to hear the conversation between the two people and sister Mary.

"I would love to adopt a little girl" said a women with a pitch tone.

"well you came to the rite place, children here are well mannered" said sister Mary with a cracky old voice " I have a perfect little girl for you Mr and Mrs Daniel" "come with me I'll show you" she added.

Isabella runs fast as she can, climbing the stairs and back to the girls room. She sits in the corner next to her bed, her heart beating out from her chest her sweaty palms gripping against each other both her knees pointing up words.

Sister Mary and the couples walks in "Isabella!" sister Mary calling out for Isabella while scanning the room with her large eyes.

"Hey little girl" said Mrs Daniel bending both her hands on her knees "you are Isabella, am i right...that's a beautiful necklace you got there".

"oh here she is, you found her" said sister Mary holding pile of papers.

Mrs Daniel helps Isabella to get up and swings her hand gently against Isabella's brown hair "how old is she?" Mr Daniel asks sister Mary slightly pinched his nose.

"she is 7 years old" said sister Mary giving an awkward smile.

"what do you think honey?" said Mrs Daniel with a soft tone.

"she is perfect!" said Mr Daniel giving a thumbs up.

Sister Mary called sister Eve to help Isabella get ready and to pack her stuff. The couple and sister Mary lefts the room.

"you are a one lucky girl, you have a new family now" said sister Eve smiling, packing Isabella's things.

"I have a feeling they wont love me as their own" said Isabella holding her brown medium size teddy bear with one eye.

"don't say that, they will love you with all their heart" said sister Eve moving closer towards Isabella with a brush, brushing Isabella's hair to the back in a ponytail.

Isabella puts on a black coat and a black boot "don't forget your beanie and your scarf" said sister Eve.

Sister Eve waves at Isabella, Isabella walks under Mrs Daniel's umbrella and sits at the back of the car while Mr Daniel packs her stuff in the trunk.

In the car, Isabella staring at the fogged window the rain dropping against it.

Isabella draws a little girl on the window "you have a big brother, a 10 year old" Mrs Daniel said reaching to her leopard handbag

"you will love him but let me warn you he is naughty".

"is he also adopted?" asks Isabella wiping her wet finger on her dress.

"yeah" said Mr Daniel while driving his eyes glued to the road.

There is silence besides the windshield wipers making a loud sound.

Isabella gets out of the car and stares at the building looking all dark and creepy and a quiet neighbourhood.

Mrs Daniel pushes Isabella to the houses, Mr Daniel holds a white cloth on her face to inhale and Isabella fell unconscious.

A few moments later Isabella barely opens her eyes, she finds herself laying on a cold and dusty floor she coughs from the dust particles pilled up in the room. She sits up straight dusting the dirt from her white dress leaning against the cracked wall burying her head inside her arms her knees pointing up.

“hello! Is anybody there?” Isabella heard a voice from across the room.

“who was that?” said Isabella feeling scared holding teddy bear tight against her chest to make her feel safe “are you going to hurt me” the words hardly passes her dry mouth.

“I'm Oliver and i won't hurt you” Oliver said “come closer, i can't see you clearly”

Isabella gets up slowly holding her teddy bear on her left hand and moves her dirty barefoot slowly step by step and stands closer to Oliver seeing his right wrist tied up against the wall blood dripping from his wrist his  hand feeling lump.

The sun rises and reflects against the small rectangular window with a rusty metal on it adding a little light into the room. Isabella stares at Oliver and sees the condition he is in “I'm scared” said Isabella her eyes glued to the blood stains on Oliver's shirt.

“don't be scared” said Oliver grunts in pain.

Isabella rips her white dress from the bottom and ties on Oliver's bleeding wrist to stop the bleeding.

Isabella stares at Oliver's face, he has a black hair sticking onto his forehead from the sweat and a large bruise on his forehead that turned black and blue.

“what happened to you, how did you get that bruise on your forehead” said Isabella sticking her finger in her nose “why do you have a...a cut on your bottom lip too?”

“Isabella...Mr and Mrs Daniel are both psychopaths they will even kill us one day!” said Oliver taking his free hand to push his hair to the back “I tried to escape but before i could even do that” said Oliver silence for a second “she caught me that's why i'm in this condition”

The door unlocks and opens , allowing more light into the room “I see you have already met Oliver” Mrs Daniel said “don't worry i just touched him here and there,  nothing serious i suppose” smiling hard exposing her coffee stained teeth.

Mrs Daniel approaches Isabella,  down on her right knee touching Isabella's dry crack lips “I'll get you two a glass of water, i don't want you two to die” said Mrs Daniel leaving the room laughing ugly and forgets to lock  the door behind her.

“quick!...now is our chance to get out of here,  go and get help” said Oliver panting.

Isabella walks to the door and opens it slightly to see “ there is a wooden stairs going up, are we in a basement” said Isabella turning her face to Oliver's  direction.
