~No one P.O.V.~

Two people walked inside a room with a little girl around 10, She had black long hair but messy and seemed to cover the right eye, soft pale skin with bandages all over her face but not the rest of her face, she showed one bright blue eye, and wore a white dress. "You'll be staying here with the monster over there!" the woman pointed at a little boy sitting on a bed, around the same age as her but he was covered in bandages and had multicolored eyes. "Don't do anything weird!" they both walked at leaving the two kids alone and closing the door. The room was silent, no laughter of other children and no color of happiness either just emptiness. The boy turns to look at her but sighs in annoyance like what did she do wrong? existing? "Are you gonna stand there or something?" he says. She walks to the other bed and lays down having her back turned to him. The boy didn't bother talking to her and faced towards the window. "At least tell me your name!" the girl curled up in a ball and sighed. "Lisa Cassidy..." she said quietly but enough for him to hear. "Zack foster..." he smiles a bit. 

~Night, Lisa P.O.V.~

There was a sound of laughter downstairs I assume it's the lady and man, but Zack was asleep at the moment. I looked around the room sitting up to see nothing but darkness trapped me inside except there was only one window but not enough for me. "Hey..." I looked to my left, Zack was sitting up looking at me but sleepily. "What got you so riled up? is it the old man and lady?" I nod. He looks away but gets up walking to my bed. "They ain't gonna hurt you...not while I'm here!" He crawls in my bed and lays next to me. How can I trust him? how do I know he won't hurt me? "Lay down idiot...!" I laid next to him and watched how he slowly fell asleep, I watched how slowly he was breathing. He looked cute for someone to be like me but I soon started to fall asleep as well, I felt safe for once. Was I safe with him?

~Morning~

I woke up with a loud sound of a door flying open making me and Zack jump up and look, The woman was looking at us with wide eyes. "Well isn't this lovely~ two freaks in a bed together what's next you're gonna sleep together!" I didn't know what she meant, did we do something? she walks to us but Zack holds me close to him keeping me safe. "Move it you monster!" She smacks him across the face and grabbing me by the hair hard. "You're gonna end up like your slut of a mom but that won't happen will it!" I looked at her with wide eyes, the eyes of fear. I shook my head fast not wanting anything else happening but she let go of my hair and walks to the door. "I'm disappointed, looks like you're on graveyard duty!" she says before walking out. "I hate them..." he says holding his face. I got to him putting a hand on his shoulder. "You didn't need to protect me..." he frowns and gets up. "I don't care and next time don't-" he stops and walks away fast. I'm hurt...I can't keep living like this, not in this hell. I walked towards the door and exit the room heading downstairs to the kitchen. I smelt no food being made or anything just something smelly. The man walks to me with a big plastic black and a shovel. "Bury this!" I grabbed it but the bag was heavy. "W What is this sir?" he grits his teeth and hits the side of my head. "Don't question me! GO DO IT!" I ran out the back door and looked for a spit to bury the bag. 

~Zack P.O.V.~

I'm an idiot for getting upset at her, that damn old lady made me angry. Always slapping me around like a dog treating me like a slave! him and her I hate it! "Why would you send me here mom...?" I walked out of the room going downstairs and looked around. No sight of the old man and lady anywhere probably watching Lisa, dammit I forgot she has to bury another kid's body. The trash bit looked full, wonder what's in it. I went to it and dug around, they don't even feed us and I'm not gonna end us like those other kids either. All I found was bread a big chunk of bread. "Just bread...great!" I munched on it but thought about Lisa. The thought of her dying of starvation is cruel, I'll blow my chance of making a friend. I put the rest of the bread in my pocket. "What you doing you monster!" I turned my head to the old man and sighed. "Take the trash out while you're next to it!" He goes to the living room to watch tv. "Bastard!" I whispered to myself snd took out the trash. I looked at Lisa digging a hole, she was struggling to dig. "Hey!" I ran to her, she kept digging. "Hey, did you hear me!" I grabbed her shoulder but she dropped the shovel and stumbled back. "W What is that?" I looked at what she was talking about. "Dammit..." I quickly dug a hole and buried the bag. "Zack what is that!" I sighed and looked at her. "It's...hm do you ever wondered where are the other kids?" she nods. "The old man and lady don't feed or 'forget' to feed us and they ended up dyin'!" She starts breathing fast, she's scared. "Hey don't worry I got you food..." I took the bread out and gave it to her. "I ate some already the rest is yours, ok?" she smiles and nods. "Thanks!" "Yeah and by the way what happened to you?" her smile goes away replaced by a frown. "My...dad girlfriend threw me through a glass window but don't worry I'm ok my dad decided to wrap my face up after that I was sent here." Almost like me but different. "You?" she says. "Oh um...My mom drunk boyfriend thought it be funny to kill me and burn me so she wrapped me up and send me here." she nods. "Well Zack looks like you made a friend!" she hugs me. Somehow this warmth feels...nice, I adored it and hugged back. 

"Right...friends forever!"
