Eleven spoked, "nine?" "Yes?" I replied. "Papa late today. I hope he are ok." "Your right. He is late today. I wonder where he is."
Time past
Where is Henry? He would usually stand around the corner of the rainbow room. Out of the bloom, i heard the door opened. It was papa. "Goodmorning children." "Goodmorning papa." The children, especially me, lined up face to face. "Today the orderlies and I, have something new. It is still a test, but this test includes battling each other." Now i know why papa was late today. He had something in mind today.
"Alright children. Let get going.
Once we reached the room. I see Henry standing at the corner and another orderly standing at the other corner. "Ok kids, today we are seeing who is more powerful." "You will be standing in one of these circles and the other person on the other circle. You will be blindfolded and will be using your powers to get the other person out of the circle. Thats it. Number two and number six, you two are up." Two and Six was trying so hard to get each other out of the circle. Eventually, two won and six clash onto a hard tiled wall. Two beats everyone easily until it was my turn. I was nervous. Two is stronger then everyone here. But im not sure if his stronger then Eleven. "Ok nine your up." I walked in the circle and heard footsteps coming towards me. The orderly was blind folding me, and said, "goodluck".
Two and I were trying to so hard to get each other out of the circle. I heard him nearly slipped but he eventually didnt. I felt my feet off the ground and was thrown to the wall. My back hurts. My eyes were nearly sobbing. My legs felt week. My head was spinning. And I took off the blindfold. Blood dripping down my nose as i walked back to the defeated children. I sat down and looked away from papa. Henry noticed and was about to go comfort me but hesitated.
It was now Eleven's turn. But I went up to papa and said "may i go to the washroom please?" Papa replied with "ok. But Eleven is going last and by the time ur done we are already finished. So when ur done going to the washroom, go straight to the rainbow room." "Ok."
I ran to the washroom crying. I went into one of the stalls and sat down on the floor. I was disappointed in myself.
I didnt even realized i was sitting there for too long that i heard someone walked in.
"(Y/N) Are you done?" That comforting voice i always hear when i am at my lowest. "No. Maybe.. idk just a few more minutes." I managed to reply in a stable tone. "I know you werent able to get two out of his circle but atleast you tried right? Thats all that matters" "I know but what if i disappointed papa? What if he doesnt like me to be one of his children?" "Dearest please come out so I can see your pretty face. Dont think about papa alright. Just think about me saying 'Im proud of you even if you fail' ok?" I unlocked the door and ran up to him. He pulls me closer and puts his right hand on my head and his left on my waist. "Your not a disappointment." Once he said that, i buried my face into his chest and started sobbing uncontrollably. "Its ok. Let it all out." He spoke with a soft tone. He removes his hand that was on my head, and turns on the sink water and puts his hand in. Henry then wipes off my tears and grabs a tissue for me to wipe off the remaining water on my face. "Lets go back to the rainbow room yeah?" "We'll talk at night in your room."
