There is a blue sea outside the orphanage.
Infront of Maria, Sansa and Kansa are burying the locker in the sand in front of the sea.
Maria is completely shocked as she sees them from behind an iron door.
She looks around and says, "I heard there's a scorpion outside, but I don't see any."
Suddenly Kansa looks at the gate that Maria opened.
"Oh no, Sansa, look, the gate is open," says Kansa.
Sansa looks behind her to see the opened gate.
"I made sure it was closed, so how did it open?" asks Sansa.
They go to the gate to find but no one there, but the wooden door upstairs is also opened.
"I'm telling you, someone followed us. If a child finds out about this place, we'll be in trouble, so think, Sansa," says Kansa.
*******
Maria running for her life, her footsteps echoing in the hallway.
The nuns hear her footsteps and start following her.
"Faster, Kansa, if we can catch that child, our secret can be saved," says one of the nuns.
They are also running for their lives.
If Fiona finds out about this, they will be in danger.

Maria finally reaches her room and stops to catch her breath before entering.
"Finally, I'm safe," she says, relieved.
"Maria, what are you doing in my room?" asks Shawn, who is lying on the bed.
There are separate bedrooms for boys and girls.
Maria accidentally enters the boys' section and mistakes Shawn's room for hers because they look exactly the same.
Before Maria can explain, she hears the nuns' voices outside the room.
They enter the section following the sound of Maria's footsteps.
"Shawn, please hide me," says Maria.
"You can hide under my bed," replies Shawn.
Maria crawls under the bed immediately.
******
Outside, the nuns search through every room.
"Hey kid, did you see someone walking around at this hour?" they ask.
"No," replies the child.
They move to another room and eventually get to Shawn's room.
They knock on the door, and Shawn rushes to open it.
"Hey, did you see anyone else wa--"
"No," interrupts Shawn.
"Can I go back to sleep now?"
"Sure, good night," says Kansa, pulling her sister with her.
"What are you doing? You don't know, but Shawn is the teacher's favorite. He is a really intelligent kid."
******
"Hey, Maria, come out, they're gone," says Shawn.
"Thanks again, Shawn," says Maria.
"No problem," replies Shawn.
Maria opens the door to find that the nuns are gone and runs immediately to her room.
For my Maria:
"WHY WE FEEL SO JEALOUS WHEN
SOMEONE WE LOVE IS HAPPY WITH OTHERS.?"
