YOUR POV
I woke up the next morning and Emma was still sleeping. I checked the time and it was 5:07AM.
"No wonder Emma isn't awake yet." I mumbled to myself.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection and was really disappointed in myself.
"God, Alexis. You really need to step up your game. Save the others. Save Ray. If he dies, You'll never forgive yourself. So work hard." I mumbled to myself.
I sighed and started tearing up. I wet my face with water and walked back out of the bathroom. I got changed into my everyday outfit and then went to go make breakfast for everyone.
I got stressed out after messing it all up. I was going to make pancakes and I dropped it all on the floor. I just couldn't handle it. I tried to keep the tears in a luckily I did. I then made 38 pancakes. It felt weird saying that now that Conny's gone..
"Phew.. done.." I mumbled to myself and looked at the time.
5:56AM, perfect. 4 minutes to have a mental breakdown in the bathroom.
I set out the table and placed all the food down and then went back to the bathroom. I closed and locked the door and sat behind the door.
I then started crying. I heard the clock ring as a sign that it was 6AM. I sighed and wiped my tears.
I didn't know why I was crying but I just shut up and stopped.
I walked out to be greeted by Emma, Ray and Norman.
Ray had noticed my tear stained face nobody else did though.
He put down everything he was holding and walked over to me.
He pulled me into a tight hug as everyone around us was smiling and laughing, having fun.
"Why were you crying..? Are you okay..?" Ray asked, in the soft tone he uses only when around me.
"I don't know. I just got stressed out and I'm fine." I said, convincingly.
He could see right through my lies but he nodded anyways.
I sat down to eat but ended up not eating.
"A, you need to eat.." Emma said. I shrugged and walked away as everyone else watched the scene unfold.
We then did our tests and finished.
"Alexis, Emma, Norman and Ray! Perfect scores as usual!" Mom exclaimed.
"K. Thanks I guess." I said, placing my hands in my pocket and going outside.
Everyone was so confused as to why I wasn't a cheerful but I've lost hope. I've seriously lost all hope in everything at this point. What's the point in doing anything anymore..?
I walked into the forest, not aware that I was crying. I sat by a tree near the fence out of sight so nobody would find me.
I needed to convince Mom to ship me out. If I can, I'll save the others massively.. And they'll all be able to escape safely.. It might be too late for Lucas and Conny but It's not to late for everyone else..
I sighed and walked back to the orphanage and everyone came running up to me.
"W-what..?" I asked.
"WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" Mark shouted.
"YEAH! WHERE WERE YOU??!" Yvette shouted also.
I sighed and smiled.
"I was in the forest, I am okay." I said and smiled brightly. "Why don't you go play?" I asked.
They all nodded and started laughing. Then they all ran.
I smiled and walked off, on my way to Mom's office when I was stopped by Ray.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Bed. I'm tired." I said and hugged him.
He hugged back and then let me go to bed. He actually fell for that hmm.
I made my way to Mom's office.
I knocked on the door.
"Come in." Mom's voice said.
I opened the door and closed it behind me as I stepped in.
"Mom, I was at the gate the other night. I found out the secret. I didn'tsee the point in lying about it so I'mcoming clean." I said, with am expressionless face.
She looked at me shocked for a second and then put on that same peaceful smile.
MOM'S POV
"Mom, I was at the gate the other night. I found out the secret. I didn't see the point in lying about it so I'm coming clean." Alexis said, with no particular expression on her face.
I was shocked for a send and then put on that same peaceful smile I did as always.
I never thought my suspect would walk right into my hands.
"Really? Well. Thank you for coming clean. What would you like me to do? And as in that, I mean, what punishment do you think is suitable for this situation?" I asked.
I hated doing this. I hated killing my children. I really do love them with all of my heart..
"I think I should get shipped." A Said and smiled.
I really had to stop myself from crying and put on an act.
"Okay. I will do if it makes you happy." I said. "When would you wish to be shipped out?"
"Thursday." She said bluntly.
I sighed and nodded. That was the day after tomorrow..
"That can be arranged." I said and smiled like always.
She smiled and then walked out.
"Looks like my last peice of Leslie is going then.." I whispered to myself.
YOUR POV
Now that I'm done with that, I don't have to worry about anything except from when Ray, Norman and Emma find out.
I was in the dining hall playing with Phil and the others. Tis is going to be a LONGGG day..
Mom let us play outside again and we decided to play tag. Norman was it.
After we played two or three games of tag, me, Emma and Ray decided to go to one of our rooms and discuss our escape plan, Until Mom asked us to do some chores.
