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.
