Fire Fuels The Flame.

Escape Plans.

Victoria's POV

I look at the paper in front of me. I read a bit of it and sign it. The blonde smiles at me.

"I'll need to do a home visit before I can leave you with them though." She smiles slightly.

"When would that be?"

"One to two days from tomorrow.." She says. I smile and nod in agreement. We shake hands and I walk over to the girls.

"See you in two days, children." I smirk and leave the building.

Mikayla's POV

"No..NO..NO.." Erica says pacing around.

"We.. We can't give up like this.. There must be a way to leave here without being in Victoria's custody.." Erica continues to pace.

"There isn't a way out.. We just have to face the facts.." Emily says looking at the ground.

"If you want to just stay here and become Victoria's kid, you've got another thing comi--" Erica says, before the red haired girl interrupts her.

"Erica, medicine." She says. Erica walks off with her into a room.

"Erica has medicine?" I ask. I've never actually seen Erica take medicine.. Weird.

"Yea." Brooklyn says.

"Oh.. I never knew that.

Ericas POV

"Here." The girl gives me a glass of water and two pills. I put the pills in my mouth and gulp down some water. I feel the pills go down my throat.

"Good. Please get ready for lunch." The girl instructs me. I leave the medical room and go into my section and brush my hair. I see Brooklyn come in.

"Hey Erica." She waves. I smile and wave.

"Hey.. Getting ready for lunch?"

"Yeah.. Mikayla's still freaking out about the Vic thing."

"I wonder what shes going to do with us." I say as I make a small fire in my hand.

"I don't know.. Hey, I have a idea.." Brooklyn says and looks at the fire I twirl in my hand.

"What would that be..?" I give her a sly look, practically knowing what shes thinking.

"Oh I think you already know.."

"Tell me what I, 'already know'" I smirk, trying not to laugh.

---(Later that night-Timeskip)--
Mikayla's POV

I sit on my bed as the blond worker comes by. She looks at me.

"Go to bed child." She says quietly. I sigh and get under the covers. I rest my head against the hard pillow. I keep my eyes open. She walks away. I get up and run out of the section, making as little noise as possible.

I can't help but think, why does what seems like a youth adoption center seem like a prison?
How would I know what a prison is...? Whatever.

I run out and sit by the entrance door. Exactly where Erica told me to sit. I see Emily run out. She sits by the staff room door. Its so dark out here. She mouths something to me. It's to dark, I don't even know what she said. I see Erica come out slowly. She sits next to me. Brooklyn follows behind her but stands against a wall by my section.

Erica makes a small fire. She hovers it against the locks on the door. Our plan, is to melt them. If anything goes wrong, like a staff comes out, Me and Brooklyn are here to take the blame while Erica goes invisible. But that won't happen. It's sleeping hours.

Suddenly Emily rushes away from the door. It opens. A staff member comes out. Erica goes invisible while we stay put.

I see the worker look around. I'm guessing she heard Emily shuffle around.

"Who's in here? Come out at once!" Her voice echos around the room. We all stay silent.

Brooklyn & The worker lock eyes.

"Shit.." She says.

"You two! Come here right now!" We get up, Emily stays put along with Erica. We walk over to the girl.

"Names."

"Mikayla.."

"Brooklyn.."

"Brooklyn. To your section. Mikayla.. I have a few words for you." Brooklyn rushes off and I stay put. I'm probably going to what she called 'Time out Room.'

Basically it's a room with padded everything and nothing to do. There's two pillows & blankets. That's it.

"If you disobey the rules once more... I'll have no choice but to move you to the Time Out Room permanently." 

"Yes ma'am."

"Go to the Time Out Room for the rest of the night. I'll get you in the morning." She says. I sigh and she leads me into the staff room. Then to the what was supposed to be a closet, Time Out Room. I go inside the padded room as she shuts the padded door behind me. I sit on the ground, put a blanket over me and put a pillow under my head.

"Good luck guys.." I say and shut my eyes.

I drift off to sleep.

---(Ten-Minutes-Later)--

Erica's POV

I grab a toy from a corner in the room and touch the door. The door moves slightly. I throw the toy across the room. 

I move the door more.

Suddenly a hand grabs onto my shoulder. I jump and almost shriek. 

Please don't let it be a worker..
