Alexander's POV:
When Lafayette and I got home we immediately showed Martha the freezing kitten. She gasped and went to go get a warm and soft blanket for the kitten. I was now sitting by the fireplace with the wrapped up kitten in my arms. It looked so cute! Alex never knew he liked cats until now. "Can we keep the kitten? Please Martha!" Alexander pleaded. Over the short period of time Alex had grown to love the kitten. "Okay Alex. We can keep the kitten. But if somebody is looking for that kitten we're giving it back to its owners." Martha gave in. Alex had been begging for about three minuets and Martha said yes. "Yay! I have a cat now! That means I get to name it!" Alex said excitedly! A moment after, the kitten woke up and wanted out of the blanket. Alex took the kitten out of the blanket and set the kitten on the floor. The kitten wandered around the floor and Alex moved it away from the fire so the kitten didn't burn itself. Alex watched as the kitten pounced onto a piece of fluff from one of the dog's toys. Alexander figured out that the dogs name was Baguette and was Laf's pet. Alexander watched the kitten pounce onto the fluff and immediately knew what he was going to name the kitten. The kitten's name was going to be Lion.  Alexander used to have a cat named Lion. That cat was basically fearless and loved Alexander. Alex even remembered the day he found Lion.

Alexander laid in his small bed awake. He didn't want to sleep because he wanted to see his mother. His mother always worked so late and left in the late morning. So Alex and his brother never really got to see their mother much. Alex got out of bed and exited the room he and his brother shared. He went to the small living room and sat on the old couch. He sat there for five minutes until he heard loud meows coming from outside. And Alex, being the curious six year old he was, went outside to see an old cat laying by his house and was meowing. It was meowing pretty loudly. Alexander went over to the cat and started to pet its fur, unaware that the cat could've bit it's hand, but the cat didn't. Laying next to the cat was a small kitten. Both of the cats were shivering, it was one of the coldest nights by far but it rarely ever snowed. Alexander left the cats to go get a blanket and went back. Alex picked up the kitten first and laid it on the blanket. He was about to pick up the other cat but it hissed at him and backed up. "C'mon kitty! It's cold out here and I don't want you to die!" The young Alex said but it hissed again and fell to the ground. The cat seemed to want Alex to take care of the kitten but not itself. When the cat fell to the ground it's breathing became slower and slower by the second, "No kitty! Don't die!" Alex said but the cat died anyway. Alexander did his best to bury the cat and brought in the kitten. "I'm going to name you Lion. And you better stay alive for me, and your mom." Alex told the kitten. Lion lived for a few years but died with everyone else during the hurricane.

Alex loved this kitten. Lion seemed to be like the old Lion.

Maria's POV:
"Bye mom!" Maria called from the couch as her mother left to go hang out with one of her friends. And Maria was once again left home alone with her horrible cousin, James. Her father was at work and Maria was an only child. Although Maria found out that her mother had a miscarriage with another child before her. She was sad that she didn't have a sibling. She was lonely when she was little. The day went fine until something happened. Maria went to her room, which James was currently watching something on his phone. Maria's mother was going to come home in an hour and a half. Maria was tired so she fell asleep. But twenty minuets later she woke up to the feeling of someone getting onto the bed. She opened her eyes to see her cousin looking at her with a smile on his face.

(Time skip because what happens next is a thing that I don't know how to write and if I do write it then it's going to be cringy)

"Get off me you fucking pervert!" Maria yelled as she pulled her red shirt down and ran out of the room. Maria threw her shoes on and ran out of the house. She didn't notice that she started crying. Maria decided to go straight to the Schuyler mansion. She ran up the steps and rang the doorbell and stood there, sobbing uncontrollably. "I'll get it!" She heard a voice call.

Eliza's POV:
Eliza was on the couch with her sisters and one of her brothers sat on the floor. They were all talking to each other until the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Eliza exclaimed and got up before anyone else could do it. She went to the front door and opened it to see Maria in front of the door and was crying uncontrollably, she was also violently shaking either due to her crying or because it was so cold out. All Maria was wearing was a red long sleeve shirt and gray sweat pants. "Maria! What happened?" Eliza asked and brought Maria inside. "J-James hap-happened.." She said through sobs. Eliza gasped and brought Maria over to the couch and sat her there. Eliza sat on the arm of the couch by Maria. "Maria what happened!" Peggy asked, "James happened." Eliza replied. "What did James do?" Angelica asked with a soft voice. "He-He t-tried t-to rape m-me!" Maria stuttered out. Everyone gasped, "We have to call the police!" Peggy yelled out. "No. I want to call mom first." Maria said. "Okay. I'll get the phone." Angelica said and got up to get a phone. "Peggy! I need help!" Their younger brother, John called out from the kitchen. Eliza hadn't known that he moved from the living room to the kitchen. "Coming John." Peggy replied and got up, rolling her eyes. Maria moved so Eliza could sit by her. Maria had stopped crying but said nothing else. Eliza moved beside her and Maria wrapped her arms around Eliza's waist. Eliza hugged her back and they stayed like this. Angelica came back with a phone, and when she saw the two girls she wiggled her eyebrows at Eliza, aware of her crush on Maria. Eliza glared at her. Angelica gave the phone to Maria and she let go of Eliza's waist and took the phone. She dialled what Eliza guessed to be Maria's mother's phone number. Maria talked to her mother and she almost started crying again but didn't. Peggy came to them and asked if anyone wanted hot chocolate. All three of them put their hands up and Peggy left. A little later Peggy came back with hot chocolate and they waited for Maria to be picked up by her mother.
