MYRA: Saviour of the mist

1. Knocked out??

Myra's POV:

"Everyone should be ready on time tomorrow. Even if one kid is late, everyone has to stay in orphanage. Better mark my words, brats. " Our stern directress shouted.

She is stern and rude. I personally think she hates kids. She might be running school to take money from donations for her personal benefits. I looked around our room. One common room for girls. It has very dull walls, with leakages in every corner. Some beds are broken, and others are sleeping on floor. Bathrooms are smelly and yellowish. Eww!

"Why am I here?" I whispered to myself slowly. Tears started forming in my eyes. I often cry about my life. We are treated poorly here. I also wonder who my parents are and why they left me here. I shaked my head. I don't want to think about these. In some months, they will ask me to leave, I will be on my own. I can't  even change that due to orphan rules.

I started packing my bags and slept on cold floor. Tomorrow we are going to woodlands. I want to enjoy this week. At least, I would have some beautiful memories. I smiled and drift off to sleep.

I woke up abruptly when the cold water touched my skin.

"Why the heck are you still sleeping? Get up! We don't want to stay in orphanage just because you couldn't get up early morning." Kia scolded.

"Sorry, My mistake. I will be up." I said.

I was irritated but I don't have time to pick fights. I went into shower and wore my favourite hoodie. I went outside to have lunch. It was same tasteless soup and bread. I drank soup and ate the bread. I sat in window seat of bus. I close my eyes and bus started running.

"GET UP!!!! GET UP YOU BRATS. We are here." 

I stretched and looked outside the window. I saw a camp site. Camps were already built. The forest was on 10 mins walk. Everywhere was greenery. The trees were lush green with beautiful flowers on it. I went out and looked up at sky. The sky was so blue and I inhaled the fresh air. It felt so beautiful here. 

I was relaxing in camp. Kia walked in and informed that directress called us out. I went out. The directress looked mad. She was blabbering about how inconvenient this place is. 

"Listen me you fools, better stay away from forest. If you entered forest and got killed by some wild animals then it's not orphanage's responsibility. Also be on your best behaviors, if I saw someone fighting, I will throw you in forest myself. Just remember beside us, you have no one." The directress shouted.

I wasn't even paying attention to what she is saying. I just want to go out of her clutches. I sighed. I went to the camp again. It was filled with lot of girls. Arghhh!!! I hate crowds. It was getting dark. I went out because it was so noisy there.

"Will I ever be happy, have enough food, have a decent shelter, be loved?" I asked myself. 

I sighed. The moon was shining so brightly. I closed my eyes and started humming a song. After few minutes, I felt someone was biting my pajama. I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful white rabbit. It was so mystical and cute. It was like cotton fluff ball. I went to pick him. But it started running.

"Wait cute bunny" I said and ran after him.

I was running after bunny for quite a long time. The bunny went into a hole. I sighed and looked around. I got scared. Where the hell am I? Everything looked scary. The trees had some symbols. I started walking in one direction but I end up at same place.

"What the f*ck" I shouted in disbelief.

A man came out of a bush. He wore very dull and odd clothes. He had leaves stuck on his head. His eyes had pure hate towards me. I stepped back and started running but he caught my wrist tightly. 

I was scared. He held my wrist with one hand and opened another hand. It had some shrub in it. He threw shrub powder at my face. I tried escaping but  he was tightening his grip. I started feeling dizzy. Everything was getting dark. 

'Am I knocked out??' With that Myra lost her consciousness.
