Alp wakes up from his sleep to the voice of Miss Ayelet.
Good morning kids go wash your faces I hope you didn't have nightmares because today we have a new group who turned 12 this year
. Ayelet says in a cheerful voice behind that creepy smile her eyes are blue she looks around the room counting every child who has turned 12 and Ayelet laughs to herself as if she has been waiting for this this is her favorite time of the year when a new group goes behind the walls of the orphanage.
Al touches the black tattoo of the number four on his neck. It seems that this cursed day has come. Al thinks to himself as he looks at the other boys. Some are afraid, some don't care at all, and some are thinking of an escape plan.
Ever since I was brought here I've been seeing their numbers dwindle and then new ones being brought in out of nowhere. Clearly something is going on out there...and I don't really want to know. Al thinks in frustration in his head then Miss Elite's sweet voice wakes him up from his thoughts as she says: Those who hear their numbers are coming after me. As Ayelet was about to say the numbers' name, she was interrupted by the voice of the newest boy, he had white hair, blue eyes and very white skin, he said in panic:
We follow you!!! Immediately!! Isn't there a break or a period of thinking about what is happening? Or psychological preparation or...
The boy stops in the middle of the sentence when he sees Ayelet's gaze, her blue eyes light up, then her neck starts to get longer and longer, and the sound of bones stretching and flesh lengthening is the only sound heard until her neck stretches in front of the boy's frightened and trembling face, she smiles a wide smile and shows her frightening pointed teeth, pushing a lock of her black hair behind her ear and says in her sweet, frightening voice while she grabs the boy's neck tightly enough to take his breath away and says:
Little naughty boy, I wonder what your number is...
Ayelet lets go of the boy's neck after it seemed like he was going to die today. Then she laughs again and her long neck starts to shrink back to its normal position and she says: Don't interrupt me again boy... because I hate not getting a chance to finish my words... Then Ayelet returns to her normal position as a human and says in a soft voice: Whoever hears their number follows me and now I will mention them... 15.7.19.20.21.24.29.32.37.40.17... and the last number is 4. Ahh just so you know my throat followed my throat while I was saying the numbers. It seems we have a big group this year and these are just the boys. I wonder how many girls there are, don't you wonder too?
Ayelet says cheerfully and winks at the nervous children then frowns and says with fake frustration:
Oh my god it seems like no one wants to interact with me but it's okay I'm used to this atmosphere and the faces... the fleeting and nervous faces
. Then Ayelet's tone returns The cheerful and scary smile turns around and gives the children her back and says:
Come on, follow me, the principal will see you personally. And she will tell you about the situation..
Then Ayelet turns her head but does not turn her body... only her head like an owl and she says in a whisper and a wide, scary smile:
You will love that.... Alp shivers for a few seconds when he hears her whispering voice and her mention of the principal...
The principal?
Alp thinks to himself with tension and fear.
