Description

  Sara Wolff, Administrator of the Gale Home for Children, made it to the street corner at just past 3 a.m. She was still bleary-eyed, but the cup of convenience store coffee was finally starting to kick in. Torrent greeted her with a simple nod and pointed at the girl. The child didn't budge or make a sound. Her eye colour shifted once again from red back to the normal light blue.

  Luciana sat on a bench and didn't notice the woman arrive. She was staring off into the night sky, the stars twinkling downward. She was searching. She couldn't quite figure out what she was looking for, but she knew she was missing something. That something was in the sky.

  Pulling a small cloth bag from her car, Sara motioned for Torrent to step back. She chose not to sit on the bench next to the girl, as he had warned her that she was apprehensive of others invading her personal space. That was typical for victims of physical abuse. Instead, she knelt down on the sidewalk, pulling a stuffed teddy bear and candy bar from the pouch.

  "Hi there," she said softly. She held out the plushie and motioned it to the girl. Distrust flashed through the child's eyes and she once again looked upward. The night sky above seemed to drown out all her fear as she stared off into the endless night.

  Sara glanced down at the girl's feet, disturbed the child had no shoes. "It's cold out here. I want to take you somewhere that's warm and safe. You're probably hungry." The mention of food seemed to upset the girl, so Sara decided against offering the candy bar. She pulled a small blanket from the bag. "Will you put this around your shoulders for me? I worry you'll get sick."

  Glancing at the bear, Luciana picked it up and touched the black glass eyes. She struggled to hold back the tears as she ran her small fingers through the stuffed animal's fur. She extended her other hand and grabbed the blanket, pulling it around herself.

  The girl locked her eyes on hers, and Sara could sense something powerful — something she'd never felt before.

  "What is your name?" the child asked.

  "I'm Sara. Do you have a name?"

  The child was silent.

  "Will you come with me?" Sara asked gently.

  Luciana looked at the man dressed in black. He reminded her of someone she once knew—someone she didn't trust. Her eyes narrowed.

  "He'll stay here," Sara reassured.

  Without a word, the girl rose and walked to the car, sliding into the passenger's seat. Sighing in relief, Sara followed after.
