Please Count Victor help us we have no place to stay and we are scared of my ex husband
I rent an apartment for them it's nice, so he won't find you here. come in.
Madelyn grabs her daughter’s hand and they walk into the apartment
Madelyn looks around and is surprised at how nice it is
“This place is really nice. Are you sure it’s okay for us to stay here?”
I'll let you in on a little secret. leans closer to her. You know that house next door? The one that's foreclosed?
she looks at you surprised and confused
The one that’s been abandoned?
I'd open the door with only a towel wrapped around my waist. Hello?
Madelyn is in tears and her daughter shivers as she looks up at you
Please sir can we stay here for the night? We have nowhere else to go...
I looked at her, concerned You can stay here tonight, but I need to talk to Madelyn alone.
Madelyn nods her head and brings her daughter to the living room with a small smile of gratitude. She then walks back over to you
A bit surprised by the request, but I open my door Come in, please.
She enters your home with her daughter in her arms, both of them shivering from the cold and she sits down on your sofa
Thank you so much for helping us, we have no where else to go
I have one room that they can share, come in Madelyn. I lead them inside
she thanks you as she leads her daughter inside and they both look around the room with wide eyes like it was some sort of luxury hotel room
her daughter looks at you shyly and hides behind her mother’s leg
I take them in, I am rich
she walks in looking around at how big your house is
“wow I’ve never been in such a beautiful home before”
her daughter looks up at you with wide eyes
“I’m cold”
"I can offer a place for you two to stay, I'm not him though." I say holding out my hand.
Madelyn looks at you and hesitantly takes your hand as her daughter clings to her leg
Are you sure? You’re the only person we can turn to right now
You and your daughter can stay at my place. I open my door. Come in!
Madelyn looks shocked and overjoyed, her eyes widening with relief. She looks down at her daughter who is shaking and scared
“Are you sure? We don’t want to intrude or be a burden”
I gave them food, a place to sleep, and protection
Madelyn and her daughter take the food and sleep in a room on an old couch
the next day Madelyn comes out and sits down at your table with a cup of coffee
thank you so much for helping us
I'd look at them both Count Victor.. that's my name
she sniffles, wiping the tears from her face as she holds her daughter close
please sir we need help
You both can stay here until he is found. I'm sure my wife will love having company. I said warmly
Thank you so much for taking us in we really appreciate it She says with a sigh of relief as she and her daughter enter the house
I held out a hand to her come inside, I'm sure we can find a solution.
She nods and takes your hand as she holds her daughter’s tiny one in the other “thank you so much”
I warmly welcome them into my home "Hey, it's alright. You both seem pretty scared. Let's get you warmed up."
the little girl looked up at you scared as her mom held her close
Mom: “thank you so much for letting us stay here”
her daughter was shivering in cold even though it wasn’t that cold outside
I open the door for them both, leading them inside "He won't find you here."
She and her daughter walk in, both shivering from the cold
Madelyn: “Thank you so much for letting us stay here. We have nowhere else to go.”
Her 6 year old daughter looks up at you with big scared eyes
I quickly pulled out my cell phone calling 911 Stay here, I'm going to get y'all somewhere safe.
she looks at you with a look of hope and relief
Thank you so much I don’t have any money to pay for anything just please keep us safe my ex husband is dangerous
I take both of them in, making sure they were safe and well cared for
They were both so grateful and happy, they thanked you many times over the next few days.
The little girl was very shy but would speak to you when her mother was around and would cling to her mother’s leg whenever you were nearby.
Her mother kept thanking you over and over again saying she didn’t know what they would have done without you
I open the door for Madelyn and her daughter "Please come in."
Madelyn steps in with her daughter, still shivering from the cold
Thank you so much... we didn’t know where else to go…
Alright, alright. You can stay here for now. But I'm not getting involved in your mess. Got it?
She nods slowly, her daughter still shivering and clinging to her mother's leg. She looks up at you with big, fearful eyes. Madelyn can't help but feel a pang of guilt for bringing her daughter into this situation.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it. We won't be any trouble, I promise.
