TPN x OC: "I'm Sorry."

1

...

When Collet was 1 yr. old

I was laying in my crib as one of my older siblings, Percy, picked me up and carried me outside and placed me on grass, far from the house. "I'm sorry, Collet.. We have to leave you all here, for now. We will come back for you, all! We promise.." The girl ran inside the house, holding a match.
Some time later, Percy ran out and she sprinted behind the house to the forest as fast as she could.
Soon, the house was on fire. Me and my other siblings watched the house burn.
Everyone was crying, screaming and throwing tantrums on the ground, except for me. I sat down and watched the flames grow higher and higher with excitement and happiness in my eyes. I started laughing and clapping my hands from excitement. "Collet?... Why are you happy?.." Mother Lisa (My previous caretaker) walked up to me and asked with fear and anger in her eyes. I pointed at the house as I laugh even louder.
Mother clenched her fists and she counts how many of us are here.
She took a device out of her pocket and she reported: "Plantation 5 is on fire and total of 16 children escaped. 1 premium, 3 high, 7 average, and 5 low."
She hid the device in her pocket and she walked to me, picking me up and walking to the others.

"MAMA!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE?!"

"WHERE ARE OUR OLDER SIBLINGS?!"

The kids were crying out as the mother gave a soft smile and she said: "Don't worry, I will transfer you all to different orphanages. I'm sorry but I couldn't find your siblings, but I'm sure they are safe."

"EH?! DIFFERENT ORPHANAGES??"

"BUT I WANT TO STAY WITH OCTAVIA!"

The kids were complaining, but the caretaker hushed them. "Shh, it's okay. You'll see your siblings soon!" She then took us all to the gate and got us to different plantations, that's where it all started.

Time skip to: tomorrow morning

A strange woman was holding me in her hands, it was probably my new 'mother'. She walked inside to a new, strange house that I will be living in from now on, I guess. She stood near the front entrance. There were children that I never saw in my life standing excited in a half-circle. The woman said getting everyone's attention on her:

"Hello, everyone! Thank you for coming here. This is Collet, your new sibling, she is one year and 9 months old." "Woahh! She is so cuteeee!!" A 7, probably 6 year old girl yelled from behind the crowd. She had short, curly, ginger hair and green eyes. She looked like a boy but with a skirt! From her left, there was a boy standing with a book. He had black(ish) hair and dark green eyes. The boy had his raven hair on one his eye. He looked like an emo- ANYWAYS. From her right, there was a white-haired boy with short hair and blue eyes. He  was smiling. "Well, I guess we have a new sister!" The white-hair boy said, laughing a while. "Please put her in a free crib in the baby room!" Mother pleased and one of the oldest children (they were a female) walked to me and grabbed me from mother's arms. They carried me to my new crib and placed me in it.

...

I heard people outside the doors pleasing mother if everyone can come see me, but she refuses. "Only Arianna and Yashiro can come in, please stay outside everyone!" When I hear the doors open, I suddenly started crying, for LITERALLY no reason. A blonde girl ran to me, it was probably Arianna, I don't know though.
She grabs me in her arms and she holds me close to her. Arianna started to sing a lullaby, on which I accidentally fell asleep. How unfortunate..

Age timeskip: Collet is 3
outdoors free time

I walked on a path that leads to the house. I knew about the secret, and I had to confront mother about it. I'm just a really bad liar, which can make my plan go to waste.
I walked infront of the front doors, I twisted the handle and opened the doors. I walked inside and closed the doors behind me. 'Hm, where could mama be now? Maybe in the kitchen doing lunch? Welp, let's check.' I thought to myself as I made my way to the kitchen. I peeked through the doors, nobody was there. 'Not here. I'll check mom's room.' I skipped through the halls, going to 'her' room. I peeked through the doors once again, and there she was. Mother was humming a song while she lays on her bed. I walked inside, making a serious and straight face.

"Mama."

"Oh, Collet? Why are you he—"

"We need to talk."

Mother widens her eyes a bit, suprised by my expression. She stood up and walked to me, with her usual, sweet smile. Mother kneeled down to get to my height.

"What is it,dear Collet?"

"I figured out."

Mother raises her brows. "Figure out what?"

"The secret... Of this place. It isn't an orphanage, is it?"

Mother gasps quietly, but then she stared at me with a straight expression. "How did you found out? You didn't saw a shipment so why—" "My previous siblings escaped." "Previous siblings?" "Yes, when I was 1 years old, they burned down plantation 5 and escaped. But... I have a deal."
Mother looks at me, confused.

"I'm listening..."

"I will work for you as a traitor, but on two conditions."

"What are the conditions?" She smiled at me.

"Firstly. When I will be 11, recommend me as a mother. I'll try my best to get clear 300 when I will be 4 years old, I will try as hard as I can to get a full score, even if I will have to learn 24/7."

Mother gave me a sheepish smile. "Okay.. and the second one?"

"Secondly. Don't ship me out immediately."

"Understood. So, it's a deal." She took out her hand infront of me.

I grinned while shadows cover my eyes. I shook 'her' hand.

"It's a deal."
