1. HOW THE MISERY BEGAN





Memories have two kinds, happy memories and sad memories, but both of the two kinds make you feel sad when you remember them.



Beth Portishco is a beautiful creative fifteen years old girl whose dreams has no limits! she has a long brown silky hair and a big green eyes, Her brother Walter  Portishco a smart thirteen years old kid, sometimes he act weirdly and violently but sometimes he is very kind and lovable person, he has a short brown-blond hair and a black eyes and a sister, Lucy a charming nine years old child with a shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes like her brother and last but not least William two years old pretty baby who has no idea of this life, he has a short blonde curly hair and a green eyes, they all lived with their sick mother -an English lady- she works as a seamstress in the hotel that's why the owner let them live in his hotel which is one of these big          buildings in sky street, London, 1897 , they live in a rotten room , The room was very dirty and full of spider webs it has two rocky beds, one baby blanket and a tiny window there's also a small closet which is more like empty with a picture of them and their dad put on the wall ,they can barely afford eating and keep on living in another word they are just surviving.





One day it was very cold Beth was sleeping and so were Walter, William and their mother, when a soft voice whispered'' Beth... Beth wake up ,Beth I'm hungry'' then Beth woke up '' aaah what do you want Lucy?? '' she  said, '' I'm very hungry please let's go out and bring some food I cant sleep...'' ''BETH!... come on please'' then Beth looked at her sister '' oh dear'' there were tears on Lucy's cheek they were like a tears of an angel ''ok let's go but hurry up we need to go and come back without waking them up '' Beth said pointing at her brother, sister and mother -who were freezing and sharing a baby blanket which they found in rubbish- ''ok'' whispered Lucy.



The two sisters walked down all the stairs, they live on the top of the building and they were not allowed to use the elevator, they reached the main entrance '' oh look it's raining!'' Lucy said '' how am I going to do this I might die the weather is very cold'' Beth thought '' No I have to do this she is crying of  hunger '' she thought while looking at her sister, '' ok wait here and i will bring the food  DON'T COME OUT'' Beth threatened her sister then she walked out of the building while looking at Lucy with a smiling face and Lucy smiled back, It was raining heavily but Beth had to bring the food from the rubbish for her poor sister's sake, she was wearing a tattered long purple dress and a lacerated shoe, the raindrops were like knifes on her face  but she kept walking and walking until she reached the rubbish cross the street, Beth looked for eatable remnants, in this moment a lot of people were passing by with a mixed feeling of Contempt and pity toward this little girl not mentioning the one's who asked her if she's okay, eventually she found a dirty half-eaten fish but in a good condition, she put it in her pocket a started running to go back, she ran and crossed the street back to the hotel, She entered it but she was very shocked her sister WASN'T there waiting for her!



''Lucy...... Lucy'' Beth called, '' oh dear where is she?'' she thought then she went to their room hoping to find her little sister, but when she opened the room's door she found her mother, Cosset and Walter  still asleep '' I mustn't wake them up and make them worry maybe she is still waiting for me somewhere'', she thought and then placidly closed the  cracked door, She ran down the stairs









quickly like a dear running from a lion to look for Lucy. she got out of the building, she was running in the street unconsciously '' Lucy where are you can you hear me?!!'' shouted Beth and got everyone's attention , after almost 2 hours of searching - it was 12am- , she saw a back of girl who look just like Lucy but in different clothes, '' oh my god it's Lucy '', she ran to her and put her hand on the girl's shoulder ''luc..'' but unfortunately that girl was NOT Lucy, Beth eyes was full of disappointment - like a kid whose toy was broken- '' what do you think you are doing go GO'' the little girl father - seemed to be- shouted, Beth was running fully-disappointed '' what do I do? oh god what will I say to Ma oh god please help me'' and suddenly poor Beth fell on the pavement and lost conscious with no idea where Lucy could be.
