The Eight

The Sinking Feeling.

2:30 a.m and I did not know what to do with the picture so yeah.

Melanie's P.O.V

I jump down the tree that I was sleeping in and look off into the still blackened sky as it is still very early. I grab the green hoodie and start to put it on but when I am about to get it over my head I see a glimpse of something that I hate. I see the orphanage I used to live in. I shudder and think back to when it happened.

Flashback (I'm starting to like doing flashbacks)

I had just walked into the scary building when I woman greeted me. "Hi what's your name?" She asked me very nicely. I looked into her eyes and saw that there was no compassion. The only thing there was, was anger, jealousy, hate. "Okay you don't have to tell me your name. Why don't you take off the hoodie so I can see what you look like?" I stood still and did not do what she said. If she found out she would use me to get money, I look almost exactly like my mom and my mom ran one of the biggest companies in the region. "OK never mind. Let me show you to your room" she took me to a teal room that had another bed in it. "Is this room ok to you?" I nod and she gasped that I actually did something other than walk. I had taken nothing from home since there was nothing left except for one thing. A picture of me, my mom, and my dad. I kept it in my hoodie pocket. "You will be sharing a room with a girl named Katie." Yay another girl to make fun of me. "I will go get her now." Yay, note the sarcasm. A pretty girl with strawberry blond hair walked in the room. "Hi!" She said very happily. I waved back. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote in very neat hand writing that I don't talk. "Ok. I'm glad that I got a roommate finally. If you want to ask any questions write them down and I will answer them." I look into her eyes and all I saw was compassion and determination. She like to where striped shirts that are blue and purple. "I like to roleplay as Frisk from Undertale, do you like that game?" I nodded. I loved Undertale. "Awesome! I think we are already friends!" Hmm a friend. I heard a bell ring and Katie gasped. "Dinner!" She grabbed my hand and rushed out of the room. When we got to the table I saw a girl who looked like she was bullying a little kid. I went in front of the little kid and blocked him from attacks. The next time she tried to hit him I grabbed her hand. She gasped and looked at me. She tried to punch with her other hand and I grabbed that one as well. I pushed her back a bit so she hit her friend behind her and did a domino effect through out her friends. I went down to the little kids night by bending my knees and did a thumbs up sign. He did one back and thanked me. I went back to Katie and she just looked at me. "That was awesome! You just won against Jessica and her Posse of girls who likes to bully people!" (Sorry to any Jessica's whos reading my book, I just needed a random name.) The head woman put the food on the table so I ate some. Jessica and her posse went up to me and asked if I wanted to join there posse. I of course shook my head and she asked Katie as well. She said no so they went back to there table. When we were done eating we went back to the room and we talked, well Katie talked and I listened. After a few hours we went to sleep. I can't believe this is happening to a six year old.
