~Winter's Pov~ I smiled as we pulled up to the mansion. I got out and went inside with Angel beside me. when we got in the house was lively as ever. I smiled and laughed as some of the children ran around me playing tag with one another. I jumped as someone suddenly hugged my led. I looked down to see scarlet. she was holding her blanket in one arm and her fingers in her mouth. he other arm was around me. I smiled as she looked at me with her big pink eyes and freckles and white haired curly pig tails. I smiled and picked her up and rested her on my hip. I smiled and she layed her head on my shoulder smiling showing her cute dimples. I walked around holding scarlet as i looked for Javier. I smiled as I started reminiscing about when I found Scarlet. she was only a year old. well she will be tomorrow. ~10 Months ago~ I smiled as I was driving with Jameson, Amilea and Amelio. we were going to a street race to test out the new car i had built. i was so excited. i made sure to trick out eaavrything her top speed is 400 at the lowest when i tested it but im sure she could go 600 or more. i smiled as we made it to the spot. it was dark out being night time. the glow the moon had on the cars was beyond beautiful. i smiled and set the car up for eavryone to see as i leaned on the side of it. I looked as Jameson and amelia came back with some bets. Amelia: "we got some bets so many have bet against the car because they think it won't be fast enough" Me: "That's Awsome" Jameson: "why is that Awsome?" Me: "because if we win they all owe us beside we know this beautiful thing will go fast." I smiled then got my phone and looked as the race was about to start. I handed the phone to jameson then got in the car. I smiled and git to the starting line. I put the hood down and turned on the under glow lights and the head lights. I smiled and waited with one hand on the wheel and the other on the stick shift. once the whistle blew Startin the race I shifted to drive and steped on the gas. I smiled as I got ahead of eavryone and got side by side with damien. he was always winning races and not the right way. I smiled as I looked at him then pushed the gas more and took off. I yelped as someone hit me from the back. I felt the back go to the side. I smiled and turned the where making the car turn with the truck in the back and shifteed to reverse. I smiled as I drove backwards looking at the driver behind me. I looked as a turn came up and did a 180 turning the car back around and put it in drive shifting gears and took off. I smiled as I pulled back up to damien and pushed the gas more and went around him. I looked at the soundings as I drifted in a turn and looked at damien behind me. I smiled and kept driving as I saw the finish line. I slowed down some and looked as damien sped up and looked behind me. I smiled then drifted the turn before the line as he kept going straight. I smiled and crossed the line first the turned the car to the side and stoped it putting it in park. I smiled and got out fixing my skirt and shirt as damien ran over. Amelia smiled then hugged me I smiled hugging her then hugged Jameson. I smiled taking my phone and looked at the recording. I started last and made it first the drifts and eavrything was realy smoth with the car. I smiled at the video. Jameson had a hell of a lot of good angels it'll make the advertisement video for the car amazing. Me: "well done Jameson you did amazing on these clips" Jameson: "well I mean you did most the work did ya think the car would ride that smooth" Me: "hell nah I'm actually shocked how smooth and well it did on thos race. it had more turns then the practice track. plus this looked Hella nice I bet." Amelia: "I made sure to get some pics of it driving." I smiled as Amelia handed me her phone and I looked at the picture. I smiled as I saw the electric purple car and the gold race stripes. I then looked and saw the trail of colors fallow behind it and underneath it was also at the tires as well I didn't much lights in tires it was like a strip on the inside behind the hood caps. so you can see it but not as much as you see it underneath. I looked as damien stoped over and I handed Amelia her phone back. I smiled as he stoped infront of me. I crossed my arms over my chest then waited for him to speak as I looked at him. Damien: "you built that?" Me: "yea I did" Damien: "I didn't think that 1990 Cameron would beat my Shelby. I don't think anyone thought you wine against something they bought a suped up." Me: "no many people thought I'd win if anyone but I don't blame them hell they didn't know I built her up using parts." Damien: "you did well and are a worthy challenger. think we can build one up together?" Me: of course I smiled and nodded looking at him. he smiled then handed me a duffle bag full of prize money. I smiled then put it in the trunk of the car. I looked as Amelia and Jameson got ready to go. I smiled and Said bye to damien after giving him my info. once I got in the car me, Jameson and amelia started heading back to the house. after a few minutes we pulled into a gas station so I cab fill the car. Amelia and jameson wanted to get something to eat. I smiled as they raced inside to find food. I started filling the car and smiled as I sat on the hood waiting for the car to fill. I played on my phone. I looked up as I heard a sudden scream fallowed by a cry. I got up locking the car then ran around the corner to the noise. I stoped in my tracks looking down an alley way. I sniffed the air smiling blood then slowly walked forward seeing a woman on the floor. I gasped running over and kneeled by her. I checked for her pulse. i could feel it fading. i lookedas the girl gaspedand grabedmy shirt as i called for an ambulance on my phone.. I looked around as I heard a cry and the women spoke. Women: "please take care of my daughter she's by the dumpster" I was about to speak when the girls hand fell and he body went limp. I no longer felt her pulse. I froze then layed her flat and closed her eyes placing her hands over her chest. I got up and went to the other side of the trash where i heard the cry. I looked seeing a small baby with pink eyes and white hair in a scarlet red blanket. I slowly picked her up and held her in my arms. she had a giant scratch on her arm. I started Makin my way back to the car as I calmed the little baby when Jameson and amelia rounded the corner. I looked up at them. Jameson checked me for wounds as he saw the blood on my clothes. Amelia slowly took the baby from me and I relunctently let go. Jameson: "love are you ok" Me: "im fine it's not mine." Amelia: "then whose is it and where did the blood come from." Me: "I heard screams and crys then came running but when I got here she was almost dead said take care of my baby then died then I found her." they looked down the as finding the dead girl. jameson looked. then turned to me. i could see the panick in his eyes. amelia looked at the women as she heled the baby. Amelia: "did you call the ambulance" Me: "yea i did" Jameson: "did they say theyll be here" Me: "yea in like the next 30" Jameson: "and you didnt see who did it right?" Me: "no" Amelia: "we have to go then" i looked at the girl once morebefore going off to the car. once we got to the car i removed the pump then hopped in the car. i then drove off to the mansion as amelia held the baby and jameson was calling midnight. i hurried to the mansion and pulled into the drive way. i turned the car off and got out. i went over and took the baby from amelia as she started crying i slowly calmed her down as i hummed softly. i looked and smiled as she stoped cyring and opened her pink eyes looking at me. i then walked in the house and was met with midnight who then started healing the babys wounds. i looked at the stairs as javier and jefferson ran down the stairs. Javier: "what happened" Jefferson: "are yall ok." Me: "we are fine. we just came acouse a lady and a baby" Javier: "wheres the girl" me, Amelia, and Jameson all looked at eachother and I held the baby. Jameson: "she... she's dead. we found hee half way gone she used her last breath to say take care of my daughter." Me: "I made an anonymous call for the ambulance" Javier: "we have to be prepared they may come here to find you if thay saw yall on camera" Jefferson: "it would only be for questioning though" Javier: "You are right but still. were a mafia/ mob family thats bad either way" Midnight: "make sure its one of ours that do the questioning then. we have officers on the in side most of them are ours and know winter." Jefferson: "she is right if not then we can jest have them to moddify the notes taken and take care of it." Javier: "ok true but what do we do about the baby" Me: "im gonna do what i said. take care of her. i'll take her to one of our doctors to check her and then she stays here as my resposability." Jefferson: "are you sure about this sis" Me: "im posative. plus we know how the orphaneges and homes are around here better then anyone. i... i dont want her going through that. shell fall through the system cracks." Javier: "she has a point. we all know what its like being alone and we know how f****d up those orphan homes are. we cant put a lil baby through that. she wont live depending on what home she goes to and we cant controle that." Midnight: "ok winter you can keep the baby. but what will you name her and ill help when needed." Me: "i dont know why but i wanna name her scarlet." Amelia: "it would suit her verry well." I smiled looking at scarlet as she looked at me with a cute dimpled smile and her cute freckles. i sat down and she played with my hair. i dont know why but i feltconected to her. i couldent explain the feeling i had but i would do anything to make sure she was safe. ~Present Day~ i smiled as i held scarlet on my hip.
