I am on a school bus with the rest of my class, it is made up of about 12 kids. The school said we were going to an orphanage for about two days to see what it was like or something like that. The bus drive went on for a long time before we arrived. However, I don't remember how we got there.
We were parked on a cement pavement infront of a giant house. The house was the color of pure white. The house looked about two story's, and maybe an attic. It had a brown roof, with the windows having bars over them from the inside.
Once our small group had gotten out of the bus we were greeted by a woman who looked in her mid 30's. She had black hair that was in a bun tied to the lower part of her head. Big purple colored eyes that held the emotions of loving and something else... I couldn't quite put my finger on it. You could say it was kinda creepy though. Then to the right of her was another woman. she looked about early 20s. This lady was quite tall had smooth clear black skin with dark brown frizzy hair. Both of them wore the same dress uniform, a black under dress with a white apron on the top.
They greeted us and as we were walking inside the lady with big purple eyes had said to call her Isabella and the tall lady Krone.
There were about 15 or more kids inside this giant house we were taking a tour inside the orphanage and taking mental and paper notes as a couple of the kids were explaining their daily routine and what rooms were for.
The interior was of oak wood. The color being a medium brown. We went from upstairs to downstairs, then afterwards we all met up downstairs in dinning hall.
It was a big room with 3 or 5 long white tables in the center. A few giant shelves on the wall holding plates, cups, and bowls behind a glass cabinet door lined with the same wood as the rest of the house. At the end of the room there is a big door to the outside. on the same wall and one to the right there were some windows.
We ate and slept there for a day so far nothing really was different from normal except the fact they eat plain dumplings...? Like no filling just cooked dough. No burgers or any barbeque food except mash potatoes and salads. They were really smart for being at a young age, but weren't able to use lotion either. On the last day we were there we took one last tour. It was of outside and around the front and back yard. the front yard had a lot of space with lots of trees and there is a high electrical fence that stood almost 3 meters high and went all the way around the property. As for the back yard, it was fairly small it had walkways going all around the house but the metal fence closer than in the front. There were some small bush trees that were at the side of the house's back entrance and open area of the house, but not near the fence.
We later came inside and ate lunch because the time had been noon. After everyone ate we were to say goodbye because we were supposed to leave to go home. Everyone from the class was gathered in the dining room to all go on the bus together.
I pulled two of my friends over near the side of the room far away from the crowd. " I'm staying here. Do you guys want to stay with me?" I whisper while looking and checking my surroundings.
"Why would you want to stay...?" Julian asked. He has light brown hair, big round green eyes, and a whole lot taller than me.
"Um... well I'll come back, but if i told you why you wouldn't know, but can't you tell something is up here?" I explained while looking down to the ground. "If you don't that's ok. Just don't tell the teacher."
"I don't really know what you mean, but I won't be staying so don't worry I won't say that your hiding out here, haha." My other friend, Jacob, said. Jacob has blue eyes and blond hair, and just a little bit taller than Julian.
" Thanks, but it's not like the teachers are gonna remember me anyways. But if they do ask, just say that I'm already on the bus."
" No problem-o" Julian said while walking off holding an 'okay sign' with his hands, Jacob following after him waving bye to me.
Its around 8 at night and everyone in class is gathering outside to get on the bus. All of the kids at the orphanage are outside to say goodbyes. Including the caretakers, Isabella and Crone. I was able to slip away from the crowd and back into the building without making a sound, so I made my way towards the bathroom. While going through it earlier the cabinets under the sink are mostly empty and big enough for me to fit.
The bathroom was really big. When you walk in there there is a long counter on the left with a sink on the far right, and a wall to the left. There are also two shelves on the wall above the counter on the left side. A toilet is placed between the counter and with a towel holder on the wall infront of it. To the right side of the room there was a big bathtub that connected to the wall with a detachable shower head and light tan color curtains to cover the shower. This was put to the end of the room on the right side and it connected to a wall next to the door. There were also some cabinets placed next to the bath that reached the ceiling.
Next to the bathtub on the wall there was a little space where the curtains covered the entry. I hid there and due too a small hole in the wall i was able to see who came in.
However when Ray, the oldest and one of the smartest kids, entered the bathroom that i was in. First he didn't look at me or my direction and kept walking to do what he was going too do. So, I thought I was safe from being caught, but he asked what I was doing here and why I was hiding. Technically I stayed to figure out what was so strange here, even though i know already, to give them what they aren't aloud to have, and to see if I could escape.
I just told him that I know what's going on and wanted to give them things they weren't able to have and then leave, and asked him not to tell anyone. He didn't say anything back and continued what he was doing then left.
After a few hours some kids came in and they knew I was there. but didn't say anything. Some other kids looked in my direction and questioned what I was doing, but I just kept silence.
After some time it should be around 10 o'clock at night and everyone should be out of the dining hall which is right outside the door. It's dark inside the bathroom so I am able too see underneath the doorway. There was a thin light coming from the left, though it wasn't getting bigger or becoming smaller, meaning it wasn't moving. However, I heard footsteps coming closer to the door. These steps sounded heavier than ones of a kid, meaning it was either the older kids or the adults. As it got closer to the door it slowed and stopped right infront of it causing shadows of their feet to cast inside under the door. I held my breath knowing it was one of the adults by the feet shadow size. The person twisted the doorknob and slowly opened it, and the light slowly seeping into the room. The door creaking with each second passing. As it opened all the way it lightly tapped the wall while the person slowly walked into the room.
I had moved my body a little bit before hand trying to move locations, but froze as the footsteps neared. I moved my head slightly to the side to see who the person that came into the room. The person was wearing a black and white dress, the one that the staff wear. All i could see was the middle of the dress including the apron. I slowly tilt my head up to see who this person was only to see Isabella. She had stopped right in my view. She kept her gaze forward her expression not wavering.
She turned her head towards the left, smiled and tilted her head to the side, "You can come out if you want." She said in a soft voice. Hesitating, I came out of the small space slowly and cautiously.
My mind nervous of what she was gonna do to me. "What are you going to do with me now?" My words came out slowly unsure of her reaction.
"Don't worry child, you can stay here till they come back for you" she looked down at me and gave me a closed eye smile.
'Don't worry they aren't coming back, sigh' I thought as she led me to a room I could stay in.
I have been here for a few days or so, and I somehow have been able to get resources for myself. Like lotion, and food that i didn't get from the orphanage. I became friends with a few of the kids, Phil, Don, Gilda, and norman. Today I was putting lotion on because my arms and face started getting dry. The dry season was here but it was still cloudy.
We were going outside to play after lunch. The little kids were playing tag while some of the older kids were sitting around some of the trees. I was standing against the wall to the building watching everyone and sister Krone. Isabella was slowly coming out of the building at the far door. Looking through the group of kids she lands her eyes on me making eye contact. Her eyes now furrowed, and her smile no longer there as she slowly walks out of the door towards me. I slowly stood up from my spot under the tree as I looked around for Krone, who was playing hide and seek with the kids. I found her just a few meters away while she is making eye contact with Isabella.
I sigh and hung my head low. I look up at the sky thinking of a get away plan before Isabella reaches me. Then food started to fall from the sky. You could hear a propeller but couldn't see any helicopter, plane or anything. The foods that were dropping were foods that they are not allowed to have. Isabella was confused, looking up at the sky with a raged look on her face. Taking the chance of her being distracted and Krone running while picking kids up who were running away. I was still against the wall and slowly made my way around to the back of the orphanage. The back is slightly smaller than the front but has wide length.
As I remember about Krone and her odd running, I looked to the fence. The fence is about 9 feet tall (274 cm). Then, an idea came into my head; I smirk.
When I could hear Krone's loud footsteps approach. Looking to the right I see her with one kid in each arm. Some kids were running around the back trying to figure out how to escape. Krone is still running towards my direction and picks up more kids while coming my way. As she gets closer I get into position for her to grab me a certain way.
Being held a specific way I can flip my body around to her back and jump off using the momentum of her speed. Taking this once in a lifetime chance, I wish for the best.
As she approaches me in the top speed, I crouch just a little bit to be able to move in her arms. She reaches me and grabs me while smirking. Checking on all of the kids in her arms, she doesn't look where she is going. By the time she looks up and ahead of herself she grew close to the outer fence.
Counting the steps Sister Krone would take till she either turned or came to a stop, I get ready to flip my self. Right as she hits my imaginary mark, I twist my body and pull myself to her back. With my feet planted there I bend my knees about to jump. By the time Krone knew what I was doing she was to late. She stopped, sliding as she does so while I jump off of her and over the fence. My ear and hair getting slighting shocked as I do a side flip over the fence.
Making a soft landing on the other side of the fence I make a break for it before any suitors can chase after me. By the time I get around a good two or so miles away I slow down to take a look behind me. I don't see or her anything for about 2 minutes until the sound of a car engine coming down the road.
I start running even faster to get out of the cars range. However it is almost sundown, meaning I've been sprinting for almost 3 hours. But it doesn't look like I made it all that far from the orphanage.
I almost trip when I hear a car horn honking at me from about five meters away, making me stop in my tracks to catch myself. A door slams shut and I hear a cock of a gun.
"Surrender now or you die." a scratchy voice says trying to sound smooth.
I face the person. My expression neutral, and I don't say anything.
"Oi! Say something! Why aren't you talking?! Come here you brat!" The older skinny guy says, showing how he really talks.
I squeeze my mouth shut to a line to think of a way to get out of the situation without getting shot. However my thinking made me zone out and didn't hear a car approaching from behind me.
"Oi! you damn brat you hear me!" the older man to busy trying to get me to come with him didn't hear the car either.
Small and faint sounds of a person's footsteps would've been heard, but no one was paying attention.
"Huh? Who're you?" the man said trying to sound intimidating.
I didn't notice that the man wasn't talking to me because I was still in my thoughts until I felt something touch my upper back and hot breath on my neck. Chills spread through my whole body and my breath hitches.
"Calm down," the one behind me whispers calmly in my ear.
I slightly look up to the person behind me. He's crouching down so that he is barely taller than me. Due to the sunset almost right behind him I can't see his face clearing except his lips, and hair.
"I came to save you," He whispers again.
"Hey! what do you think you're doing?! you damned dumbass!" the older man Infront yells still pointing the gun at me.
The mysterious man lifts his right arm. I look over toward his hand to see why he had done this action only to see a pistol. My mouth slightly parts in surprise. Before I could even blink or look to see the reaction the the man Infront of us the gun was shot. I look up to the man Infront and he is falling down to the ground.
"Thank you..." I say quietly, turning around.
"Yeah no problem," he replies standing up all the way and turned around. This man is tall, maybe about 6'3 (190.5 cm) tall.
"I better go before more people come thanks for the help," I say and face to where the sunset is but more to the right which leads to the woods.
I can hear the guy give a small and quiet chuckle at my response I assume. Ignoring it, I continue my walk without looking back.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other again..." His voice starts to fade as well as my vision, and before I could look back to him it all went black.
