Chapter 2 - Ms Aristo's

The principal?

Alp swallows his saliva in fear then begins to follow Miss Ayelet with the rest of the children. Alp climbs the stairs that he was afraid to even pass by.... the stairs that lead to the principal's office--- Miss Aristo Alp climbs each step and his heart beats strongly in his chest. He works partially. What are they waiting for? Because they are the new group of children of the forest. This name was given to them because they send children in the orphanage as soon as they reach 12 to the forest that is known by his name, the Durshadas Forest. It was named thus by the people. No one knows how far that forest extends or if it is a forest in the first place. Even the way to enter that forest is not ordinary...

I heard one of the children previously say that he saw a very tall man without a face in that forest and that is the simplest thing there is... and even the children who go there, half or a quarter or none of them return...

Alp thinks to himself

Here we are, we have arrived

. Miss Ayelet says with a smile as she points to the tall, massive door made of black oak and engraved on the top of it Mrs. Aristo...

Ohhhh Mr. Baker, you brought the girls too

. Miss Ayelet says happily as she looks at Mr. Baker...

That scowling, scary man, like a corpse walking on threads, and even the circles under his eyes are scary... Seriously, I've never even seen him blink before...

Alp thinks to himself as she looks at Mr. Baker. A man of 187 cm, his black hair styled back and his lifeless black eyes.His face is always dirty with coal.

Yes, we have 16 girls here, and how many boys are there?

Becker says with his rough voice and his stern, lifeless face. Ayelet laughs her usual scary laugh and says in her soft voice:

Oh, that's me, of course I didn't count them. Pfft seriously, did you expect me to do that? And their number doesn't matter as long as they'll be decreasing by nightfall.

Becker sighs in annoyance and then knocks on the door lightly. The sound of the knocking on the door echoes in the ears of everyone in the hallway until the door opens and makes an annoying creak. As soon as Becker and Ayelet advance inside, the children follow behind them, their faces tense and afraid, and some of their faces are completely lifeless and turned. As soon as they are right in front of the principal's office, Miss Aristo raises her eyes from the papers she was looking at. She raises her sharp green eyes and begins to stare at the children's faces as if she is studying them. She adjusts her glasses. Then she continues She looks sharply at every child present. Then suddenly her gaze stops at a certain person and she looks at him with the same cold and sharp gaze, but it stays for a longer period, her gaze penetrating his soul...

What's wrong with this look? Why is she looking at him like this?

Alp thinks nervously to himself as he looks into her eyes as well and does not lower them. Then Miss Aristo stands up and puts her hands behind her back and stares at the high ceiling on which are painted drawings of a beautiful woman feeding a black cat.Then her gaze lowers again and she says in her cold, sharp voice:

So this is this year's group. Let's not talk too much. You and I know what will happen. You are the group that will go to the Durochades Forest. Mr. Baker will give you raincoats and winter boots because the forest is often rainy and cold. We don't want you to die of cold... not of cold at least... and Miss Ellet will give you papers that have what you will try to find in the forest. They are things that the orphanage needs. She will mention their locations, of course. And you have eight hours to bring the things on the paper. Each person must bring the thing mentioned on his paper. It doesn't matter if it is intact, just bring it... Oh, and of course, whoever tries to outsmart me and just look for a safe place in the forest and hide until the eight hours pass and return and not bring the thing with him will only end up becoming a lab rat in the doctor's lab. But whoever is not lucky and can't find the thing has upcoming trips. Either he finds the thing or he doesn't. Or become a lab rat. And once the hours are over, wherever you were in the forest, you will return by my power to the orphanage garden, of course, the condition is that you are alive. Only those who are dead will we not bring. And now, any questions?

Alp raises his hand and looks at Miss Aristo with a serious look, his yellow eyes staring at her, and he says in a curious voice while raising an eyebrow:

Why were you looking at me more than the others?

All the children in the room look at Alp with a surprised look. Mrs. Aristo looks at him sharply and says in a cold voice:

Because your face is ugly

. And don't ask any other questions far from the main topic. If you do, your ugly face will become a doll, and you know what I mean

... Alp swallows his saliva quickly and lowers his gaze... My face is ugly???? How can you say that... I'm not ugly, on the contrary, I don't believe her saying that. She needs new glasses. The ones she has are useless... Alp thinks in disbelief and anger to himself

But that's don't matter.....the only thing is matter that how i will survive.....
