An orphan boy and girl

A baby boy was dropped off at an orphanage by someone unknown for the time being. It will be revealed in time. After they knocked and heard someone was coming they left so no one saw them and made sure that the little one was safe.

"Oh my. Hello little one. Lets get you inside and warm. It's a very cold day out today." The man took the boy in and saw a letter in the basket. "Oh so your name is Cace. It means brave in battle. Lets see what it says." Then he read the letter quietly. "Oh you poor thing. Well we will protect you as best we can. That is what we do here. Now lets get you introduced and taken care of."

"Ok Everyone settle down. I have someone to introduce you too everyone. This little one here is named Cace. I just picked him up just now. So the older ones if you can please help brothers Will and Liam with the little one. Liam please come get the little one and take care of him." "Yes sir." He took the little one and got him a bath and, in a diaper, and clothed.

"Will stay with Cace for a minute. I need to talk to the old man for a minute." "Yeah sure." Then Will took him from Liam and he left.

"Excuse me sir. Can I talk to you for a minute?" "Oh Liam. Uh yes come in." He turned the letter over and looked at Liam. "Is that the letter that came with Cace?" "Yes it is. So what is it? Are you asking about the boy?" "Sigh. Yes. I'm going to have to talk to you and Will since you two are the only other older ones that can keep secrets I hope." "Yes of course." "Good its very important. Once everyone goes to bed meet me in my office. Here." "Yes sir. Thank you." Then he left back to Will. "Will. Once everyone gets to bed the old man needs to see us. Its important." "Ok sure."

Hours later it was time for bed. They got all 11 now since baby Cace came into the picture. Who was only 6 months according to the letter. The two left for the old man's office.

"Old man are you here?" Said Will. "Yes I'm here." "Old man is everything ok?" "Sigh. Yes it will be. His story is tragic. Before I give you the letter you need to swear in secrecy ok?" "We swear sir." "OK. Liam and Will read the letter yourselves." It was a two letter page that described who he was and why he ended up there.

"Sir! Is this right? Please tell me its not true." "I'm sorry it is. I was in his basket when I picked him up." "So its true. They…are gone." Liam and William were twin brothers. Liam was the more sensitive. He got down on his knees and put his hands on his face. "How? Who did it? When the boy gets old enough I will go with him and find out who did it and asked them why and kill them!" "Calm down Liam. Its going to be ok. We have their son so we have to protect them." Then they heard a door creak. They turned around and saw one of the boys who felt the closest to Cace.

Liam stood up. Then wiped his eyes. "What are you doing here Sean?" "Is it true both his parents are dead?" "Yes Sean. Now go back to bed." Said the old man. "Wait." Said William. "Sean is the one I told you felt close to him. He could be the protector they are talking about." "Come in then." Said the old man. Then the old man spoke. "Sean. There is something really important you need to know but don't tell anyone including him until we tell you too ok?" "Yes sir." They gave sean the letter and he read it. "So its true. I heard a rumor but I was hoping it wasn't. Well, if it's true I really am who you think I am. I will protect him with my life. I swear on my life I will protect him." Sean was 16 years old with red hair and blue yes and freckles on his face.

It had now been 16 years where the story really begins read the next chapter if you want to hear his story.
