Prologue

I watched as a women walked into the orphanage with her fancy clothes, manicured nails and high as f**k heels.
I stayed huddled in the corner of the room with my friends Jessica and Kaitlyn as we watched her. She carried her self with confidence as she stood next to Lady Belle deep in conversation.
"I wonder what she wants?" whispered Jessica as she cupped her hands around her mouth keeping her attention on the two women.
"Shes probably looking to adopt. Isnt that what every stranger we see, comes in here for? Fifteen years in this place and you still need to ask that question," Kaitlyn said with a chuckle as Jess shrugged.
I shook my head in amusement at the two as they bickered back and fourth.
We all grew up together ever since infants, since our worthless mothers put us up for adoption. I cant say I wish they didnt because then that would mean I wouldnt have met Jess or Kaitlyn. We have been sisters ever since we befriended each other as soon as we could talk. Now at the age of fifteen we are used to not getting adopted into new homes since couples prefer babies over teenagers any day.
We made a pact that we wouldnt leave each other. If one of us were to get adopted then all three of us had to go. And if they wanted just one then it was a no deal. I know a lot of you may think that we should just be grateful that someone wants us but we are each others family. Not by blood, but by choice. And thankfully Lady Belle respected that. But she did mention that when we turn eighteen we would be on our own. Which we also took into consideration.
"Their pointing our way," Kaitlyn said in a harsh whisper as she lowered her head.
I frowned and turned to look at the two women as they both stared at us. I caught the gaze of the random stranger as she grinned at me causing me to tilt my head in thought.
She offered a little wave of the fingers before turning back to Lady Belle with a mischievous smile littered on her face.
"She looks like she may have a few loose screws in her head," I said with a chuckle as I looked at Jess and Kaitlyn.
"Loose screws or not but I think she may be thinking of adopting one of us," Jess said as she looked over my shoulder.
"What makes you think that?"
"Because their headed this way," she said lowly with a nod of her head in their direction.
I looked in their direction again to see that Jessica was right.
Lady belle was walking towards us with a big smile on her face as the random lady walked beside her with a glint in her eye.
"Girls I have great news," Lady Belle said excitedly when she reached us.
Kaitlyn squealed as if knowing what she was going to say while Jessica rolled her eyes. All I did was hold my breath as I waited eagerly for what she was going to say even though it was obvious what the great news would be.
Every time some one says we have great news it always meant that whoever was on the receiving end was going to get adopted. Never in my life in the orphanage would I have thought that would be directed to me.
And by some miracle it was.
That day Jessica, Kaitlyn and I was adopted by a women named Olivia Merigold.
The women who changed our lives in more ways than one...
