Chapter 15

Chapter 15
Alessia’s POV
Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, I find my way out of my room and into the main room.
Aside from my experience with Julianna, no one else has given me grief. Add in the fact that Scarlett is an amazing person and I feel like I owe it to myself to try and make friends with the people living here.
I don’t know how long I’m going to be staying here and finding new acquaintances seems like the next best thing to do.
mission!
With my mind, I stand at the entrance to the room and start scouting for a possible friend and come up short.
Most of the people around seem half my age and the ones closer to my age are moving around the house hastily, obviously occupied. They don’t look like they’ll be willing to stop what they are doing to make friends with me.
It finally dawns on me that everyone else is at the training grounds and my mood immediately deflates.
Dejected, I turn around to head back to my room and spend another day with only myself for company.
“Alessia,” a tiny voice squeals and it grabs my attention to the little girl running towards me.
She stops in front of me with a huge smile on her face and I knee to get to her height.
“Hey, Lucy. How are you doing today?” I ask, looking at her pink dress that is covered with glitters. Seems like someone is having a lot of fun. Unlike me.
My mood turns sullen again as I’m reminded that I have no friends here.
“Chef and I with some of my friends are making biscuits. Do you want to join us?” Her eyes hold hope as I contemplate my options..

Staying in my room all by my lonesome self or joining Lucy and some other kids to make biscuits that we’ll probably end up eating. It wasn’t really a hard choice.
“Of course, I would love to join you.” I smile at her and get up to my feet.
Taking hold of her hand- because it’s so freaking cute and tiny, I lead us into the kitchen where a dozen. little kids are surrounding a woman that seems to be in her late fifties.
“Mrs Smith,” Lucy calls out as we draw closer to the lady. “I brought a friend along,” she announces, and a dozen eyes belonging to little kids settle on me.

seen you around here before.” Then she makes an ‘O’ shaped sign with her lips. “You’re Caden’s guest. right?”
I may just be imagining it but when she said guest, it sounded like she was implying something else.
“Yes, I am,” I answer back with a smile. “I’m Alessia,” I introduce, waving at the little kids still watching me inquisitively.
“Come sit with me.” Lucy tugs on my hand to get my attention.
I look down at her to find her pointing at the counter that has several stools around it.
Following her to the counter, I place her on a seat and take the one beside her.
Now v seems like the perfect time to ask the questions that have been pondering my mind for a while. And who better to ask than an unsuspecting kid who probably has all the answers I need?
“Lucy,” I call out in a low voice and she lifts her head from the coloring book that she’s intensely focused
on.
“Yes,” she answers in a tiny voice.
“Is Caden your father?” I mutter.
Her face scrunches up in utter disgust. “Ewww. He’s my big brother.”

instant relief that I feel is almost embarrassing. Jeez, I need to get a grip on myself. Now that it has been brought up, I just realize that I haven’t caught a glimpse of their parents. Did something happen to them?
