A Second Chance (Adopted by Team Crafted)

ONE: A LIFE IN TATTERS

*beep beep beep*

My alarm. That means it's 5 : 30. Ms Spry makes me wake up an hour before I'm supposed to. I hate it. So usually I watch YouTube instead. I'm always treated horribly. I'm getting used to being blamed for everything. But I still hate it. She shoves sticks down my throat sometimes. The other girls hate me, so they let me get the blame. I hate them. Sometimes they purposely do bad things.

Sometimes, if I've (more like they) done something extra bad, like stolen food, trashed Ms Spry's room, stuff like that, then she'll grab some sandpaper and rub it on my skin. Most of the girls are allowed to leave to go to the mall or go to the field outside, around the back of the orphanage. I'm not even allowed to go outside, let alone leave. I just stay inside to cook, clean and try to look busy if I'm watching YouTube. The last time she took me outside she grabed a rope, tied one end to my leg and tied the other to a tractor.

Then she pulled me all around the field.

She broke a lot of bones. It made it hard for me to lie down and watch YouTube, but I managed. Only just. Besides the physical, she also gave me a cotton blanket instead of a woolen one like the others. I also get less food than the others, even though I cook it. I grabbed my cotton blanket and my ripped old headphones (to hear it well the computer sound has to be at 50 or higher) and head under the bed.

The computer I use is old. Like, really old. As in made in August 2000 old. I'm suprised the Internet even works on the old thing. I turn it on. It takes, like, 5 minutes just to start up. When it's been started up, I plug in the headphones and go into Internet Explorer. See? Doesn't even have Chrome or Safari. I log onto the gmail account I created and go onto YouTube. There's a new Finish The Story called Fanfiction Feels! with Deadlox, Minecraft Universe, ASFJerome, and BajanCanadian.

Sky have introduced something called Throwback Thursday. It's like Wanted Weekend, but instead they do old stuff like Finish The Story, Epic Jump Maps, roleplays, stuff like that. Team Crafted's been brought back because of it. The fans vote and lots of people wanted Finish The Story. I love it too. It's Friday today. I never got to go on the computer yesterday because quite a lot of people wanted to adopt and I was there the whole day. Most days I'd been cleaning, cooking, getting beaten or watching YouTube. I had to catch up on yesterday's episodes.

I have some fan merch, by the way. A Power Movers shirt and a Po$h hat. How do I have that, you ask?

She actually pays me for cleaning and stuff. Ten cents a week. It had taken me about 2 years or something, but I had about 10 or 15 dollars, hidden in various small places Ms Spry can't find. Once I secretly ordered a Power Movers shirt and a Po$h hat. I'd adressed it to the orphanage and when I went to get the mail one day, I found a shirt. When Mitch announced that he was reading fan mail, I sent a letter to him. I put the money in there and wrote 'I bought a shirt and a hat but couldn't pay for it online. So here it is.' Because I'm not going to be rude. I know how to hack so I found a way to get the shirt without paying online. But I can't get anything else now. She's lowered it to 10 cents a month.

I also have pocket money from when I had parents. About 20 dollars.

You may be thinking well why didn't you hire a cab and leave? Well, Ms Spry would notice the fact that I've gone. Anyway, enough of the sob story. I want to watch this. It's really my only source of happiness in this hellhole. The intro starts and Sky starts talking. I like the video and then full screen it.

"Hey guys it's Sky here and I'm with Minecraft Universe, ASFJerome, Bajan Canadian and Deadlox some more Finish The Story as requested by you guys! If you guys want more Throwback Thursday please remember to slap that like button! Let's shoot for 45,000 likes for more Throwback Thursday! Oh, I have something very special we need to announce! It will be at the end of the video!" Sky said.

"You're mean. Stop trolling them," Jason said. "LET'S BEAT HIM UP!" Jerome yelled. "GET HIM BIGGUMS!!" Mitch yelled and hits him too. "NOO! STOP IT!! NO!" Sky yelled and flies away. He's in creative mode. "Anyway Finish the Story is a pretty simple game. You goal is to get to this beautiful BUDDER trophy over here and to do so you have to contribute to the story. But you only have one second to do so," Sky said. "You ready?" Ty asked. "Let's do dis!" Sky said. Mitch is starting. The order went Mitch, Jerome, Sky, Jason and then Ty.

"Once there was a guy!" He started. "His name was Jerome," Jerome continues. "HE WAS A BACCA!!" Sky yells. "He lives in a treehouse," Jason said. "WITH HIS BEST FRIEND MITCH!" Ty yells. Sky facepalms. "Are we making fanfiction here?" Sky says. Mitch flies to Sky and gets all up in his face. "Yes," was all he said before he flew back to his position. I smile.

"Jerome and Mitch go to the hunger games!" Mitch cried. "They had to... I don't even know how to finish this!" Jerome cried and jumps back. Mitch, Jason, Sky and Ty all start laughing. I quietly laugh too. "AMBER!" A voice cries. Oh no. It's Ms Spry. And she's carrying a chair leg.

I take my headphones out. Maybe if I can stay still and turn the screen off, I can use the other set of stairs to get to the kitchen and cook breakfast. I quickly pause and turn the screen off. "Amber!" Ms Spry snaps. I can see her looking around, but she doesn't look under the bed.

Until now.

"Amber!" She cries and literally pulls me out from under my bed, fingernails digging into my hands. I try to bear the pain. She forces me to sit down. "What is under there?" She asked and looks under the bed. "A computer," Ms Spry pulls it out of the socket and holds it above her head. I know what's she's going to do.

"NOO!" I cry and get to my feet but it's too late. She throws it to the ground. The computer's smashed. Gone. The shards scattered across the floor. Broken. My only source of happiness is gone. Ms Spry grabs the chair leg and makes me open my mouth. I try to shut my mouth but she forces the chair leg down my throat and rubs it around. After a minute, she pulls it out, along with a tooth. My mouth hurts and I can't swallow.

"Now get dressed and cook breakfast. NOW!" she yelled. I nod, terrified. She leaves the room and I cry. My only source of happiness. My only escape from the torture Ms Spry puts me through. I quickly put on my Power Moves Only shirt and a pair of jeans and underwear. Then, once I'm dressed, I put on a pair of socks and grab my Po$h hat. I quickly find the money I've hidden and stuff it into my pocket. I'm sick of this place. Ms Spry has destroyed everything. She's tortured me in every way possible. Taken my childhood, my will to live, and now my happiness.

I'm busting out tonight.

Then I close the door to my room.

I don't think I'll ever see it again.

So that was a glimpse of what happens to Amber.

I based Ms Spry off someone who tortured these three kids. Her last name was Spry so I figured why not? Thanks to Evie_Descendants_1 for giving me the idea of the character Ms Spry!

Also please do show some love and SLAP THAT VOTE BUTTON WITH YOUR FOREHEAD!
