The girl and the boy sat on the stiff , and uncomfortable sofas inside the orphanage.
They had just arrived, unlike some kids who had been there for most of lives, hoping that one day someone might take an interest in them. The boy , short and stocky, was trembling in fear, despertely clinging onto the girls hand. The girl remained calm, and was doing her best efforts to be reassuring.
She was different...More different then she knew.
Lost in her thoughts, the girl began to listen to what her aunt was saying.
"I simply can't take it anymore!" the aunt screamed
"They're both freaks, and especially that girl" she continued "It's either you take them, or they can rot in the alleys like the scum they are."
The counciler of the adoption center was shocked, but not surprised nontheless. She expected nothing else of a poor woman who was placed with the burden of two children, not even related, and especially with a girl who had a knack for making people run away in fear.
The girl listened to this whole conversation, not surprised that her aunt would stoop this low, but she couldn't blame her. However it wouldn't bother her if she had her friend that she's had for her whole life.
The counciler had a gut feeling that this whole ordeal was beyond her..that these two children would bring change to this small, quaint orphange.
"Give me the children" the counciler replied hesintalty.
