She heard someone in the house call "Come in", but she made no effort to move. She felt suddenly scared. What if they were like my father? What if they don't want me?
Nonsense, you are just making excuses.
Her hair fell in front of her face again, and she peeked up to see what the boy was doing. He said something quiet to her and slowly went inside. She looked around nervously before crossing into the foyer. She paused, not sure what to do next. There was some sort of hallway, but her feet froze.
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
She battled with herself before stepping a little bit farther into the hallway.

Kayla:
"Oh it's no trouble. Stay as long as you like. Why would I open up my home and not let people stay?" She giggled slightly. "Are you hungry?" She pulled a pan out of the oven that had nearly a dozen perfectly browned grilled cheese sandwiches with cheese burting out the sides. "They are alittle messy, but well worth the cheesy fingers, I can promise you that.

Arthur stared at what she had was cooking. In all honesty he wasn't hungry, he never found himself to be that hungry most times. "I-I'm not really hungry, but I suppose I should eat a little bit of something..." He said, but his main reason was because he wanted to be respectful. This woman had taken the time to cook some food for them all and he had to show that he appreciated that. That and he needed to eat a little more to gain more weight, whether he was hungry or not. "Thank you.." Arthur said, "this means a lot.."

Marika heard some voices farther along down the hallway and walked a little bit closer. She smelled something delicious and realized she hadn't had a good meal in a few weeks. Then she was standing in a doorway the led into the kitchen. She saw the boy there as well as a woman and the little girl that let them in. Staying silent she looked at the floor again.

Sammie:
"Yay! Grilled cheese for everyone! Weeeee!!" She ran to the tiny 2 foot tall table for one in the corner of the kitchen, careful not to drop her half a sandwhich. She had a juice box already waiting for her.
Kayla:
"Here you go." She put the other half on a plate and handed it to the boy. "If you need more, just get it. And there are drinks in the fridge. Help yourself." She looked to the silent new girl. "Would you like some?"

Arthur looked down at the plate, not sure whether he should be amazed at the size of the sandwich on his plate. He hadn't eaten anything like this in a while. Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten much at all in a while. "Thank you.." Arthur smiled. Though he knew he probably wouldn't eat it all. He took the plate and sat down at the table and set the plate down, staring at it, confused at what he should do. Arthur decided he'd make an effort and show some respect and at least have a few bites of the sandwich. Admittedly, he liked it here, he felt safer, already. Well, safer than the streets, or at home, or his uncles. He was so happy that he didn't have to go back with his dad. He closed his eyes for a moment and thought about the fresh start he'd be able to make.

Marika looked up a little bit as the woman spoke to her. She nodded her head and swiped her hair out of her eyes.
I need to get my hair cut.
She walked to the island in the middle and sat on one of the stools. She looked at the woman again before taking the grilled cheese and chomping into it.
So good! It had been forever since she had anything to eat that had some sort of flavour to it. This tasted like heaven.

Kayla:
The woman fixed 3 more plates with half sandwhiches, juggling them all at once with ease. She left the kitchen in search of the other 2 girls and anyone else who may have came in. "Food is ready!" The call to eat echoed throught most of the house, minus the upper levels.

Arthur suddenly stopped daydreaming and realised he was in the middle of a kitchen. How many others are there? He asked himself, wondering how many people there were that had seeked help from here. He glanced up and saw the girl eating her food. He couldn't help but feel guilty that he wasn't hungry for it. Arthur awkwardly looked down at the plate and took another bite, it was satisfying but he knew that if he ate too much, he'd throw up afterwards. Arthur noticed he still hadn't taken his coat off, he thought about taking it off, but if he changed his mind and wanted to leave, he'd just do that. But he knew he wouldn't leave, not with people looking for him. Stop thinking, Arthur. He told himself and stared out the window for a moment.

Lily watched the clouds come together and darken, awaiting the first drops of rain. 'I wonder if there's a backyard...' Lily found herself daydreaming; laying on the grass in the yard, letting the rain come and soak through her jeans, her boots, her jacket and t-shirt, leaving her dripping and cold, shivering. Then her sister would come, dripping as well, followed by the girls and the woman and the boy--wait. She stood suddenly, and stepped into the hall, peering behind her to see if the others noticed her. The woman offered food, but Lily wanted none of it. She wanted to be outside, to see, to study, to breathe. She tiptoed towards the door, half-smiling, smelling the impending rain on the air.

Marika finished her sandwich and drank the water that had been placed before her. She sat awkwardly on the stool and looked around the kitchen. It was rather homey and she fleetingly wished she could stay here forever. She quietly stood up and brought her plate to the sink. Turning around, she saw the boy sitting by himself at the table, and though she didn't know what she would say, she went over and sat in the chair across from him. She lowered her head and began memorizing patterns in the table, looking up once in awhile to eye the boy.

Arthur finally decided he wouldn't eat anymore, it was nice, but he just didn't want it. He noticed that the girl had sat across from him now. Arthur glanced at her, feeling kind of confused. He bit his lip slightly, it was a little awkward and he had no idea what to say. Arthur noticed that she'd enjoyed her food and he looked at his. "Hey...I'm not really hungry...but you can have the rest of mine...if you want..." He offered, looking at her, pushing the plate slightly towards her, smiling slightly.

Kayla:
She noticed one girl attempting to go outside. "You know the veiw is much better from the balcony upstairs. You can see the whole land. The horse pasture and the pool and the clubhouse. You can even barely make out the town over the trees. I could show you if you like." She smiled and set the plates on the coffee table.
Sammie:
After her last bite and one last suck at her long ago empty juice, Sammie put her paper plate and juice in the garbage. Then she went to leave the room and remembered the other two new people. "Flowers." She whispered. She walked up to the girl first. "Here oo (you) go. It's a daphofil (daffodil)." She handed her the beaten flower. Then she approached the boy. "Sowwy (sorry) but wadies (ladies) first. Oo (you) still get one though." She handed him an equally broken flower, And ran off without another word.

Marika looked at the half of grilled cheese sitting on that plate. She wanted it so bad and finally gave in. She took it from in and slowly took a bite out of it.
How can it be so yummy?
She noticed the bag on his back and finally got curious. "What's in it?" She said, realizing that these were the first words she had spoken to anyone else in a few weeks.

Arthur looked at her when she asked her question. "Just stuff...pictures, clothes, pencils, notebooks, nothing that is important.." He answered, he had forgot that it was still on his back, he kept it close to him, always. Arthur took it off his back and set it on the floor by his feet. When Sammie approached him and handed him a flower, he felt slightly comforted. Arthur was surprised and he held the flower in his hand, looking at it. How sweet... He though, staring at it. Nobody had really given him anything like this in a while, and this kid was technically a total stranger.

Marika took the flower from the little girl and smiled. She was so sweet and seemed to be able to put a smile on anyone's face. She looked back at the boy.
"You draw?" She asked him quietly as she held the flower delicately in her hand. It seemed to represent her life. It was beautiful before it was broken by her surroundings, until finally it was what no one wanted to look at.

"I can...go myself..." Lily replied gently, and quickly ascended the staircase, padding around until she found the balcony. She breathed in the cool, outside air, and smiled, pressing her forehead to the balcony's edging and inhaling the sharp scents all around her. She sat and laid her head against the railing, and grinned as the first drops of rain started to drip onto her hair and forehead and down her cheeks.

Sammie:
The little girl sat at the sliding door, her face pressed flat against the cool glass, longing to go play in the mud. "Muddy." A smile crept across the girl's face. Her mother called for her to go upstairs and play. The girl reluctantly stood and climbed the stairs. She passed bedroom after bedroom, but stopped when she saw the girl sitting in the rain. She smiled again. "Wain. (rain)" She knocked on the door to the balcony, her eyes begging the girl to let her come out too.

Lily turned and studied the girl, her wet hair plastered to her face. She furrowed her brow, confused, but nodded. 'She wants to...spend time with me? But why? Children don't...like me.'
"Come on out," she whispered, "come enjoy the rain."

Sammie:
The girl stood on tiptoes to open the door. She closed the door easy, and crawled over to the edge of the balcony, using the bars like she was in jail. "Wain wain. Don't go away. I like oo. Pwease stay. Yay!" She clapped her hands and smiled so big her eyes looked closed.

Lily begins to hum, and smiles.
"Rain rain, come and stay, go away some other day...I've never met a little girl that loves rain." She found it odd that words came easily to her in the presence of such a small girl. She worried that the girl would slip between the bars, and kept a sharp eye on her. Children were good, Lily decided, because they didn't judge like others. They wanted fun. Someone to play with. And Lily was just glad that Sammie saw a play mate in her.
