Mistreatment

TW// Talks about abuse

We leave out the door and I'm happy enough to be skipping the whole way there. I've never felt this excited before, I wish Shadow was here with us but pets aren't allowed in the orphanage. I make it to the door of the orphanage faster than I thought I would. The boys are lagging a bit behind since I practically ran here. I wait by the door suppressing my urge to ring the doorbell. After a few minutes, I ring the doorbell knowing that they were behind me. The house mother opens the door and she looks like the wicked witch of the west.

The House Mother
"Welcome, Come in"

We walk into the orphanage and everything looks fine. I tell the boys to stay outside the door as to not scare the children. I go into a small room where all the children are gathered. The children look wonderful but something is throwing me off. The House Mother speaks which snaps me out of my thoughts.

The House Mother
"This kind lady will be adopting one or more of you, so line up"

The Children
"Yes, House Mother"

The children line up against the wall for my analysis. Each child looks well-fed and comfortable here. I'm in the middle of looking through the children when a caregiver comes in with two children being held by their arms.

Caregiver
"These children lack dis-"

She pauses in her tracks when she sees me. The caregiver lets go of the children's arms and fix her posture. I look over to the children she had and they have bruises all over them. The children feel my gaze on them and pull down their sleeves. I hope that what I think is happening, isn't happening.

Caregiver
"I'm Sister A-"

Y/n
"I don't remember asking for your name"

She mutters something unsettling but I look over her words. I walk over to the children she had and the smaller one hides behind the bigger one. They both seem to be boys but I could be wrong. I look over to the House Mother and nod my head towards the kids.

Y/n
"I want these two"

The House Mother
"Are you sure you want these two scoundrels"

Y/n
"I'll politely ask for you to not make me repeat myself"

The house mother flinches from the tone in my voice. I guess she's never been spoken down to since she's the head of the house. The caregiver from before was about to take the children to get their things but I stopped her. I don't trust any of these adults in this orphanage, anymore.

Y/n
"I'll take them, they should get used to being with me"

She doesn't say anything and just hands the kids over to me. That's unusual, what happened to her rude method of speaking and handling the children. I don't know where anything is at so I guess I'll have to ask the children.

Y/n
"Can you lead me to your rooms?"

The bigger one nods its head and walks out the door with the little one following close behind. I see the guys conversing with each other, I'm glad they're getting along. They look up when they see me coming out of the room.

Y/n
"Follow me"

The kids walk down a long hall then up some stairs. We all gather behind the two children and follow them upstairs. We enter their room and they start packing their bags in silence.

Y/n
"If you don't mind can your lift up your shirt?"

The smaller one looks at the bigger one, he nods and lifts his shirt. Like I thought he has bruises all over his body. I touch a few of them lightly until he flinches.

Y/n
"Oops, I'm sorry"

The bigger one nods again and goes back to packing his bags.

Y/n
"Do they hit you?"

He nods once more then leaves out the door with the smaller one glued to his side. The answer to the one question I had makes the rage in my body overflow. I can see Vox tremble with anger from the corner of my eye.

Y/n
"Vox I'll take care of this, they're only just women after all"

Val
"I'll take care of Vox for Ya"

Y/n
"Come downstairs when Vox anger subdues"

I rush out the door, anger emitting from me with every stride. I make it back to the room where the House Mother is. I calm down before I peak into the room as to not alert her or the children.

Y/n
"May I speak with you"

The House Mother says something to the caregiver then follows me out. I want to kill her right here and now but the children here need her. We get far enough from the children so they won't eavesdrop.

Y/n
"A little sunshine told me you've been hitting them"

The House Mother
"That's ridiculous, where have you heard that"

Y/n
"I didn't just hear it, I also saw the proof"

The House Mother
"So what? What are you going to do about it?"

When she said that I lost my cool and I punched her. I kept hitting her until I calmed down, even though I didn't stop trembling with anger.

Y/n
"Your harming children who can't protect themselves and you think that's ok?!"

I pick her up by her hair and force her to look directly into my eyes. I speak to her with hostility in my voice as I watch the blood drip from her nose.

Y/n
"I'll come back every week and if I hear a child got hit then the same is going to happen to you"

She nods her head ferociously and straightens up before we return to the children. Vox and everyone make their way down the stairs, chattering amongst themselves. As we are getting ready to leave the children wave goodbye to the other kids and we leave out the door. I carry the little one in my arms and the older one holds onto my hand. I can't wait until they see their new home.
