For the past ten minutes I've been fake sleeping and observing Sophie through my eyelashes. She kept looking at me through the rear view mirror and it became uncomfortable. When I was bored to some extent I pretended I woke up and stared outside. "Was the dream as fake as the nap?" She inquired with a mischievous smirk on her face. I only glared at her through the rear view mirror. I gritted my teeth as she tried to converse with me. I picked at my nails breaking eye contact. Her voice grew concerned as she asked, "what's wrong Rose, isn't this what you wanted?"
The anger that surged through me now powered my tongue, "I dint want to be back in that orphanage in the first place!" I yelled as she flinched at my tone.
"Sweetie we'll explain when we get home," she replied broken.
"That's what you always say!" I snapped glaring aimlessly.
"It's different this time Rose, your old enough to know the truth, all of it," she sighed in defeat.

As soon as we were there we were greeted by, Derek, my foster dad. "Hi kiddo so nice to see you again!" He hollered.
"I want to know now," I responded calmly.
"Excuse me?" He answered bewildered looking at his wife for help.
"The truth Derek, she wants to know the truth," Sophie answered in a terrified tone.
A thick silence penetrated the air and all that could be heard were the wind chimes melodious tune. "Follow me," Derek replied in a monotone.
I did as told and followed him with Sophie close behind me. We entered his office in complete silence he pulled out a huge dusty book from under his desk before opening it. "Is this some kind of joke?" I asked after noticing the book's topic. They shared horrific glances as he opened his mouth to speak.
Cliffhanger!!! Sorry about the chapters length though :(
