THE ORPHANAGE|DONT WAKE THE DREAMER

Prologue-ish ig

It was a hailing night in Marseille(changing the orphanage's location), France 1984. The windows of the dormitories were rattled by the fallen ice, leaving some cold splash marks on the window, the hailing had been going on for 2 hours already.

Young 11-year-old Taylor's green eyes were locked deep into the steamy window, Looking down at the garden.

What more could the garden have besides 8 cherry trees on each side, A maze with Mother's statue in the middle, and a huge fountain? I want to see the lake behind the garden!

Taylor thought to herself.

She looked over to the sun-clock which was behind her, which was just above the door

10:22 P.M

She knew the curfew was 52 minutes ago, but no matter how much she tried to sleep, she ended up waking 5 minutes later, the room was dark, the moon only being the light source due to the lights being turned off, She stared back at the window again until...

*Creak*

the door creaked open, Caretaker Vanessa stood there with a stern and sleepy look, but still in her caretaker uniform

"What are you doing? It's past curfew!"
Said caretaker Vanessa sternly

Caretaker Vanessa's jet-black hair wasn't usually tied up like it was mostly, but it was now let down and frizzy, her yellow eyes were still shiny through the dark, thus adding another faint light source in the room.

She was holding a warm glass of milk in her right hand, and her left hand was on the doorframe.

"Oh-"
Taylor stuttered silently

By that, Caretaker Vanessa was already walking to the desk in front of the window Taylor was facing, placing the milk on the desk before giving a 'light' smack on her hand.

"Drink that and go to sleep."
She demanded.

 That was the last thing  She said before the door closed, and she was out of the room already.

Taylor couldn't do anything about it, but just down the whole glass of milk like it was nothing, throwing some droplets from the glass out the open window before putting the glass in its original spot.

She knew she couldn't fall asleep much, as she had gained insomnia, due to some stress doing some lecture work.

But of course, Caretaker Vanessa's orders are important, aren't they?

So she stumbles on the top bunk of the 1st bunk bed(which is her spot due to the normal green theme) and throws the Jade-colored blanket on herself, ready to drift off to the island of dreams.
