Flames POV
I woke up later than normal panicked I rushed downstairs to quickly fix breakfast and pack lunches only to find all the kids clean and dressed sitting at the table eating a hearty breakfast, while fang was packing some lunch boxes for the day care kids who didn't get a free school lunch yet as they weren't technically in school.
"Morning sleepy head." Viper said from the top of the stairs behind me while carrying a three-year-old girl making me jump.
"Uh, morning have y'all been here all night?"
"Fang has but I went to my house last night." She laughed.
"Don't worry I stayed on the couch last night I'll go home after I get off work tonight, we have those new kids coming today, right?" He winked while pointing towards the windows.
Using my dragon sight, I glanced out the window and saw the heat signatures of three people hiding in the trees behind the bars of the iron spiked fence. Seeing them I played along.
"Yes, they will be dropped off today I will stay home today as there are two that will be arriving in about two hours. The rest won't be here till after school lets out so if you could pick up the kids from their schools along the way here, I will be grateful. Of course, you will be technically on the clock so you will be payed."
"Yes ma'am, if you need me to pick anything up from the store on the way as well just let me know." He started handing the kids their designated lunch boxes "Lunches are packed and everyone is ready to go and the kitchen is cleaned up I'll take care of the rest of the dishes later today so don't worry about them. Come on guys time to go to school."
I hugged the kids as they grabbed their bookbags and went out the door. After they were gone, I Locked the door shut and headed back to my room to get dressed for the day carrying my plate of breakfast Fang cooked with super fluffy pancakes with melted butter and warm syrup, Cheesy eggs and grits, a biscuit smothered with honey, and a hot cup of coffee with my favorite Carmel Macchiato creamer topped with a sweet cold foam and caramel drizzle how Fang knew just hoe I liked my coffee was a mystery but I loved how he was so thoughtful.
After I finished eating, I still had about an hour and a half before the first kid was due to arrive so I took a quick fifteen minuet shower before getting dressed I decided on something simple not like my normal but the kids will be arriving with people from out of town so they weren't used to me or my style of attire so I went with some black skinny jeans with a nice black crop top that had long sleeves that flared out, a bullet lined belt with chains attached to clip to my wallet, some earrings with black and white feathers, a black choker necklace with a cross like from one of the anime series I liked Rosario Vampire it was based on the necklace Moka wore, to finish my outfit I also wore a simple ring with an onyx stone in the center.
I did my makeup light with some simple black eyeliner and clear lip gloss. I was till me but not too much to scare anyone new to my normal especially a young kid. As I finished cleaning up my make-up in my own personal bathroom, I heard the new doorbell sound signaling the first kid was here.
Rushing downstairs, I paused to catch my breath before opening the door.
"Hello I'm Flame the new Headmistress of this Orphanage and you must be one of the kids arriving today." at the door was a well-dressed case worker and with him was a little girl she was pretty with tan skin like cocoa butter and big brown curls to match her large almond shaped eyes that were the a beautiful almost golden color. "What's your name dear."
"This girl is named Anyana, Anya for short." the case worker sighed in a bored manner. I gave him a pointed look as I really didn't like his attitude.
