*** This is mostly Hannah's point of view ***

Chapter 1

" Come on girlies! Time to get up, cause' breakfast is OFFICALLY ready!! " Lauren yelled from the kitchen. Lauren is the owner of this orphanage, her husband also helps out, his name is Paul; they couldn't have kids so she decided to run an orphanage instead. I've been here for roughly 10 and a half years now so I'm 15. I don't mind it here. I got a best friend too and some other friends. I guess I'm lucky in the looks and features department as I have auburn coloured hair, which is a reddish-brownish colour, blue eyes and I am quite tall.

" Come on Hannah; I'm talking to you to, your no exception. I know you think you are but your not! " Lauren joked as she walked downstairs with the others as I hauled myself out of bed and down the stairscase. " I'm coming, give me time!! " I shouted as I ran down the stairs, and threw myself into and empty seat beside my best friend, Ryan. " Whoa there! Trying to give me a heart attack there were you? " He chuckled lightly, " how did you sleep, cos' you look like a walking zombie?!! " That's Ryan for you, cheeky, cocky, and witty. With a sprinkle of backchat. " Oi! Did you catch to much sun yesterday, cos' you look like a wrinkled prune. " I retorted. He snorted, and lost himself in the world of bacon and egg heaven. I decided to eat. Once everyone had finished we went upstairs and got showered and dressed.

Later on around early afternoon.

" Would you like to walk around the courtyard Hannah? Because I asked Lauren earlier and she said after lunch. I think we both need a bit of air too, We've been trapped inside for AGES! " he asked politely for one once, " Sure; lets go after I've finished this chapter of my book. "I said and some of the girls who had been sitting near me in the library had expressed stifled giggles and suppressed ' ooooooh la la's. ' . He just said " Shuttup. " and grabbed me and we went outside to the courtyard/garden. There were a few vines, because they were extremely hard to get rid of. There were beautiful potted plants, chimes and intricately patterned, colourful lanterns. Sitting on the treetops were majestic looking birds with colourful wings. There were clumps of vines. I suddenly had the urge to see what was underneath those vines. Lauren had always told everyone to keep away from them as they were sharp, I told Ryan about it and about the urge and he agreed and said he had always wanted to see underneath and he also told me we could just say that I tripped and fell on to the vines IF either one of us hurt ourselves.

So we walked gently and slowly making sure no one was suspicious and gathered all the vines together and threw them out of the way, only getting a few spiked bits in our hands in the process. Oh my goodness gracious! It's beautiful, it's colourful, it's ... A ... Door. An emerald green door covered in the most wonderful flowers. There was a soft, yellow glow issuing from behind the door, probably a witch at work, just like all those fairytales I read when I was younger. My thoughts are disrupted by a shocked looking Ryan " Try and open it, probably locked, I reckon! " I reach out to the handle and try and open it slowly ... Locked just as I thought. " We'll try again later. " I say ...
