    CHAPTER 1

    Racing through the streets of Mapleton, Hannah felt like she was flying. If she wasn’t scared of falling off her bicycle, she would have thrown her arms into the air and let the wind take her along.

    She felt better than she had in her entire life. Summer may have been half over, but she had gained a dog, a boyfriend, and more confidence than she had ever had before. It was a perfect summer, one she never wanted to end.

    Arriving at the animal shelter, Hannah couldn’t believe how happy she was. It was like everything was falling into place and promising a wonderful year ahead. She thought nothing could damage her mood.

    The familiar sound of dogs barking and cats meowing filled her ears as she headed towards the back of the Mapleton Animal Shelter. But there was something else too, voices – two of them. One belonged to Harry and another to a female.

    Hannah stopped in the doorway, taking in what she was seeing. Harry was talking to a girl, she couldn’t have been older than either of them. She was giggling with every word he said. Instantly, Hannah’s good mood flitted completely out the window.

    Oh, Hannah, hey, Harry said, taking a step away from the girl. The little movement didn’t go unnoticed. Jessie, meet Hannah.

    The girl waved, curling her hair around her other hand. Hi.

    Hannah couldn’t speak, she just gave a half-hearted smile back.

    Jessie is volunteering here with us for a while, Harry explained. She loves animals too, she was just telling me a really funny story about her horses.

    You have horses? Hannah asked, unable to stop herself. What kind of a person was lucky enough to have not one but multiple horses?

    Just three, Jessie said, like it wasn’t a big deal.

    They’re all named after Disney princesses, Harry continued, his voice suppressing a laugh. There’s Belle, Aurora, and Snow. Cheesy, huh?

    Jessie playfully pouted. Don’t tease me, I was ten when I named them.

    Hannah didn’t care if she was ten or five, she didn’t like the girl on sight. There was something about her. Or perhaps it was the way she was standing so close to Harry that irked her. Either way, she wished she was dreaming and could just pinch herself to wake up. She tried it, just in case. It only hurt.

    Kids, come in here, Cory called from her office. She sounded distressed. Hannah was just glad of the interruption. Any longer and she may have said something she didn’t mean to.

    The trio shuffled into Cory’s office, seeing it strewn with paperwork. They had never seen it so messy before. Normally Cory was a stickler for organization.

    I’ve got some bad news, she started. I thought I could get around it but it has become clear that I can’t. Our funding has been cut. The city is making cutbacks across the board to save money. It seems they will no longer be supporting the shelter.

    What? How can they do that? Hannah asked, instantly outraged. Yet greater than the anger, was her fear. What’s going to happen to the shelter?

    Sadness swept over Cory’s face. We’re going to have to close down.

    Harry stepped forward. We can’t close, what’s going to happen to all the animals?

    If we don’t find them homes… Cory couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

    Hannah wasn’t going to let anything happen, not if she had something to do with it. What do we have to do to keep the shelter open? How can we fix this?

    Cory shook her head. "There’s nothing we can do, the council won’t budge. I’ve done everything in my power to beg, plead, and negotiate with them. Without money,
