Chapter 3: A new visitor

||Seven POV||

An hour later I felt someone nudge my side and I opened my eyes to see the nurse at my bedside. She was waking me up so I could leave the nurses office and go along with my day

I sat up groaning and with a splitting headache. I left worse then I did before I went to sleep

I look over to Daniel and he wasn't there and I got confused. The nurse noticed my confusion and chuckled. I look over to her even more confused

"There's a visitor here, that's why he's gone and why I've woken you up dear." The nurse said with the smile still on her face. I knew exactly what 'There's a visitor here', it meant that someone was here to adopt a child but I usually don't care about that stuff anymore because no would adopt me or say I'm weird for covering my eyes

They would always tell me to uncover my eyes and I always kept telling them that their eyes would become blind like how if you stare at the sun for to long you could go blind but they would never listen so they would always roll their eyes and walk away to choose another child

So after a while of not getting adopted or ignored by the people to came to adopt, I stopped caring but that wouldn't mean I wouldn't be upset or get teary eyed. All I wanted was to get out of this bump and have a good life without being almost beat to death or not being ashamed for not showing my eyes

I sighed "Alright then..." I groaned knowing that this person wasn't going to get adopt me then the nurse touched my shoulder "This person who is here is extremely important and powerful so please, try to look approachable please?" The nurse said with desperation. It was a hard thing to promise but I wanted to try so I nodded and the nurse smile "Thank you Seven. Your a good boy" she said then walked out of the room

I got off the bed, my head spinning out of control but I got control of myself and my head stopped spinning. I got into more formal clothes and got into my shoes. I was tying my shoelaces then I stopped and touch the metal thing around my ankle. I hated that thing, it was something that Louis did before, he chained my ankle up for fun and left me in a room for three days without food or water until I was found by one of the janitors and I was completely grateful for that janitor.

I shook my head then walked out of the room and went to the adoption room. The adoption room is a room where every child went into when someone came to adopt. When I got in there, everyone was excited and wondered who was gonna get adopted by the 'important person'.

I sat down on the floor against the wall, just looking at everyone doing their thing and being excited. A lot of the child wanted to get out of the orphanage because of Louis and his gang, and I don't blame them because I also want to get away from this place. I closed my eyes and waited for my body and mind to drift off to sleep

After a few minutes I couldn't get to sleep because then Mr. Alexander came in with other employees and another thing: Mr. Alexander is the runner of the orphanage and also the father of Louis anyway as they came in Mr. Alexander said all of us to line up and look formal for the person coming to adopt. Normally we don't have to look formal just have to look nice.

All of us lined up. Side by side and me always being at the end of the line. Louis wasn't in the line because he didn't need to be adopted. Louis was beside his dad with a smug look on his stupid face

"Ok children, this person is pretty important. This woman is a witch and powerful at that, she is here to find an apprentice" One of the employee's said with a friendly smile. She was the employee that every orphan liked and adored, some orphans didn't want to leave because of her but also wanted to leave. All of them looked at each other with more excitement, they all wanted to learn magic so they all looked more properly except me. I really didn't care because I knew I wasn't going to get adopted by this powerful witch

Mr. Alexander glared at me and I knew that he wanted me to look proper so I did, not wanting to get yelled at. I straighten my back and put my hands behind my back and that seemed to satisfy Mr. Alexander as he didn't glare at me anymore

The woman walked into the room and she was wearing a red dress with a golden colored belt with a black witch hat with a similar golden colored belt but smaller. She was pretty and had slightly grey and black long hair that went below her shoulders, she had a serious look on her face with her head slightly up. Maybe that's why we had to look proper because she looked proper so we needed to seem like her, honestly I really didn't care so I started to just look like myself and what I mean by that is to just stand normally like how we normally would

The witch looked at all of us and when she got to me, she was surprised to that I wasn't being proper like the rest of the children. With the witch looking at all the children and myself she has made her decision then went to Mr. Alexander and whispered him who she wanted to adopt and he looked at her in surprise but nodded.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and excitement on who she picked. Mr. Alexander walked towards the end of the line then at me.

"Good job kid your finally leaving this place." Mr, Alexander whispered to me coldly. I was shocked, someone actually was going to adopt me and a powerful person at that "Now go pack you stuff and leave." Mr. Alexander said walking away and other kids came to me congratulating me for my adoption because they knew how much I suffered more then they did

I packed all the stuff I had, which wasn't that much then I went over to the witch and shyly looked up at her "H-hello ma'am, m-my name is S-seven, I-I'm glad you a-adopted me." I shuddered uncontrollably, she lifted her hand and I flinched and closed my eyes thinking she was going to slap me but instead she put her hand on my cheek "Greetings Seven, Hm, why is your hair in your eyes?" The witch asked me, her voice calm and slow

That was a hard question to answer, I didn't want her to push me into showing my eyes but I said why anyway "I-I'm just insecure about my eyes that's all..." I looked at the floor and waited for her to respond "Alright then, I won't ask you to show me your eyes until you are more comfortable with showing your eyes." She said lifting up my head to look at her. This calmed me down, I smiled gratefully at her and nodded

"Now, do you have all your stuff?" The witch asked, I nodded "Alright then, let's g-"

"Wait I almost forgot!" I said interrupting her, she looked at me confused. I ran back to the rooms where all the children slept and I went to my bed. There was cat stuffed animal on my bed, my mother made it for me before she died so it was extremely precious to me. I grabbed the cat stuffed animal and hugged it tightly, I ran back to witch with my stuffed animal "Ok, now I have all my stuff." I said, grabbing my backpack with my other hand while still holding my cat stuffy in my other hand

The witch nodded and we walked outside then went to her horse(remember this is the medieval times so they didn't have cars, I just wanted to say that if anyone forgot). She lifted me up on her horse then got on "Hold on tight" She said as she made the horse gallop, I held on tightly to her as I've ridden a horse so I was pretty scared.

I thought of all the things I've been through at the orphanage but now that was all in the past and I could finally live my life in peace while learning magic. I smiled brightly. This is my new life now my new beginning , I'm going to enjoy very second of it I have..
