To be someone's daughter or sister, it was only in your dreams, so that at least someone would look at you not as a brat, but as a beloved child..
Fear, that's what you felt when you were accepted into one of the families that came to your orphanage. The family consisted of a single mother and a boy, Simon. You remembered his cold look that very day.
But after a few months, you became friends, started walking together, and Riley even allowed himself to be hugged.
But one terrible day, your adoptive mother brought your "stepfather" to the house. From that day on, hell began. Your pseudo-father began to beat you. Simon protected you as best he could, getting the same for both of them.
Riley was always there, he even began to love you like a real sister.
Night, you are sitting with Riley on the steps near the house. Simon smoked a cigarette, while you were lying on his shoulder.
-He won't kill us, right?
You look back at your brother to see his reaction. Exhaling smoke, Simon looks at you out of the corner of his eye.
-Don't worry, he won't hurt you and your mother, I promise...
Ghost's hand presses you to him.
