Chapter 2: Grace Field

"Her number is 55384." A woman sobbed to Isabella, "and I'm giving you in her hands. Please look after my child." Isabella stared at the woman, wondering why m/n would ever trust her with her only child. She had given birth to her son Ray at the same time m/n did with her daughter y/n and it seems as though m/n wasn't going to make it. From all her blood loss, the last thing she could do was hope that Isabella would do her that one last gift.

"Take...the child?" Isabella asked herself. She looked at the tiled floor and thought long and hard about this decision. "Okay." Said Isabella. "I shall take care of 55384."

[The year 2045]

"Wake up everybody! Wake up!" Yells a bubbly orange-haired girl. The eleven-year-old was the first one up, and excited to wake everyone else up! "Come on!" Pretty soon, the house was alive and the children were up and about.

A brown-haired male chased after a couple of younger children, laughing and playing with them. Meanwhile, a snowy white-haired boy and a raven head passed by holding in their arms white sheets as though they were gonna either put them to wash or not. 

Downstairs they were, in the kitchen preparing breakfast as the orange head from before played with the children. "How old are you? Five?" The raven head was heard saying. The orange head glared and pouted, while a little boy slid off her back. 

"Huh! I'm eleven! Just like the rest of you, not five!" The white-haired male beside him chuckled, "you're laughing too Norman!" That was the boy with the ice-blue eyes name was. Norman.

"Sorry Emma~," he said to the orange head. There was another chuckle and Emma looked down the hall. "Huh?! You too mom!" Isabella gave a closed-eye smile. "Come here Emma, help me with a few things would you?" 

Emma runs over and smiles brightly, ready to help her mother out in any way she can. Ray, the raven head looks about the place as he sets the table and Norman places the dishes down. "Norman, have you seen y/n?" Norman raises a brow.

A light blush came to his face whenever he thought of the girl. S/c skin, e/c eyes, and h/l h/c hair. She was, to him, perfect. "N-no." Ray rolls his eyes. "Typical y/n. She's always late for breakfast." Norman pipes up, smiling at Ray. "I'll go get her! I know where she is, usually."

Ray smirked, "ooo~ go get your girl, stalker!" Norman blushes harder and denies, "I'm not a stalker!" He left quickly going towards the forest where he suspects he would find her again.

Approaching a giant rare tree, with f/c leaves within, Norman spotted y/n. She lay in the grass and looked up at the tree. She seemed at ease, and calm. "Oi! Y/n!" Y/n sits up slowly and stares at Norman. 

Her e/c eyes seemed to hold no other emotion but boredom. "Oi." She responds. Norman sat next to her and blushed even more, looking at her face. "Good morning, breakfast is ready yah know. You're late yet again." Y/n tilted her head, "oh? I'm sorry. I lost track of time." She was mostly a silent person.

Y/n stood and stretched, then she walked off toward the giant house they lived in. Norman followed behind thinking to himself how it was possible to be friends with her. When they were younger he had told her that he liked her, and in response, y/n simply told him, "um... I'm sorry but I don't see you like that..."

From that day on he promised himself to stay by her side for as long as possible. Even until the day they get adopted by other adults, like the other siblings. Norman slips his hand in hers and she glanced down at it. A slight blush came to her cheeks, but it quickly went away and she removed her hand, pushing Norman slightly. "You're so silly sometimes."
