Hannah was sitting in the living room of the old, abandoned mansion in front of the fireplace, trying to keep herself warm against the cool winter night. There was no furniture, or atleast none that would suffice as a chair, so she sat upon to old wood floors with her coat and boots still on. Her mittens were thrown to the side, for her hands were outstretched toward the fire for warmth. Her long, golden blond hair glistened in the light from the flames, and her sweet brown eyes looked straight on.
It had been a month since she took off from her hometown of Dallas, Texas, hoping for a new life to call her own. After years of physical, mental, and sometimes even sexual abuse from her father, having her mother run out and leaving her, and her father dying of a heart attack, Hannah was forced to decide how sh ewas going to live on her own. A young girl at 17, she knew only one thing, and that was that she wanted a life far from her previous one. Being poor and helpess was better than beaten, and she was stubborn enough to hop a train all the way to the shores of Lake Erie. She quit highschool, for if they found out she was on her own, they'd put her in foster care, and she packed up only minor things. Not being able to find a job at her age was becoming a painful problem, for she barely found food to eat, and the mansion was her only means for shelter.
Sighing, she reached up and ran a hand through her hair as she tried to decide how to make a little extra cash. After a month of being homeless, she was starting to become desperate. Even though she was a good girl, her mind was starting to wander to the brutal idea of drugs or prostitution just to stay alive.
