Chapter 1

      Chole's  POV:
     I approach the child.

    "Hi, I am Chole, and you are?"

    "Sarah," is all I can get her to say.

    I see the tears in her eyes.


   I feel sorry for her.

  Goodness, the child must be scared.

   "It is alright.  I  will not let anyone harm you."

   "Where are your parents?"

      "My mommy and daddy are dead. Please do not make me return to the orphanage."

        I hear her heartfelt plea.

      

        I nod my head in agreement.

     I see a small smile appear on her face.

    I slowly climb out of the tree with Sarah in my arms.

    Once down, I realize she cannot be more than ten years old.


        Jeff arrives just then.

      "Well, it is about time you got here."

       I breathe a sigh of relief when Nathaniel takes Sarah with him for the moment.

       "Sorry, Chole, I was busy with something. Anyway, I am here now."

        I  try not to make him angry. I know things get ugly when I do.
