About an hour later, there's a knock on my door.
~~~~~~~~~~/+/~~~~~~~~~
I spin around in shock. No-one ever comes in here, it's like there's a giant pentagram on the door, warding off everyone from the evil witch who lives there. AKA: Me.
A voice can be heard through the door. 'Carla, there are some visitors here to see you.' I recognise the voice to be Annie's.
Visitors? Me? There must be a communication issue. But, sure enough, the door creaks open, revealing four figures. One being Annie, and the other three are men. Then, all of a sudden I realise...
'Lewis? Sjin? Duncan?' I say, shocked, over the blaring stereo playing 'Vectors'.
'That's us.'
'I'm guessing you're the mysterious Carla...?'
'Yeah, that's me.'
How are they here? WHY are they here? At an ORPHANAGE. Are they adopting? Donating? A million thoughts rush through my head. I know that I haven't checked YouTube yet for any updates, but it's very short notice.
It's especially short notice that they're in MY ROOM. It's a literal tip. My walls are blue, but the paint is chipped and faded, the carpet is worn beige, and my desk is overflowing with masses of paper. My bed is surrounded by posters, including Area 11, MCR, Yogscast, Green Day, Gerard Way, Sword Art Online, Naruto, Pokemon and a bunch of others. my bed itself is decked out in blue and white stripy cover, but you can barely see it from the waterfall of wolf plushies.
I recover from my panic, and realise that I'm on the floor. I must of fallen off my chair. Embarrassed, I stand up and straighten my beanie. Well, as straight as it'll go. Hastily, I kick a stray wolf under my bed and sigh. What a mess.
Unfortunately for me, when I turn around, I see that the guys have all crept across my room and are looking through all of my weird Yogscast sketches and comic strips. Emphasis on the word 'weird'. Sighing, I internally cringe and hope that the very specific floorboard I'm stood on is loose, so I can fall down and hopefully disappear into the void.
'Hey, did you draw these?' I hear Duncan say. When I look up from my daydreams I see him holding up a comic strip I did about a year ago. It features Duncan and Kim, the flux buddies, fighting the Hat Corp guys.
'Yep.' I mumble into my hands. 'But they're not very good.'
'What are you talking about? These are awesome!' Lewis says, clearly reading a Jaffa factory one-shot I wrote a while ago.
'Clearly the best one has me in it.' Sjin holds up one titled 'Sjin's Farm: Part 1', while chuckling.
'My personal favourite has got to be the Blackrock one. Man, those were some good days.' I say, laughing.
At this, the guys begin arguing about who is the best. But in a friendly kind of way.
Lewis coughs politely and the group stop arguing.
After a few brief conversations about gaming, I hear a voice.
'Annie? Where are the guests?' I hear Evelyn call from downstairs.
Annie smiles. 'Well, that's our cue. We'd better go. Bye Carla.' She waves, shepherding the guys out of the room.
'Bye!' Lewis shouts as he's pushed out. He's grinning.

Lewis's POV. ~ An hour later.
'Done.' I say signing my name at the bottom of the VERY long contract.
Duncan and Sjin cheer.
'All you need to do now is come back tomorrow to collect her. ' Annie says. 'Just make sure you have a room ready. I'll do the rest.' She smiles, and hands me a document.
'Carla Winters
Born: 19th August, 2000
Admitted: 22nd August, 2000
Possesses strange -'
The bottom of the paper is torn.
'Sorry about the loss of information, there was a fire a couple of days after Carla was admitted, and it destroyed a lot of the details we had on the children.' Annie says.
'Weird.' Duncan says, shrugging.
'Well, we'd better get going.' I say, glancing at the clock.
'I'll tell Carla to be ready. I'll be seeing you tomorrow.' Annie waves as we leave.
I walk out of the door with a huge smile on my face.

Carla's POV.
'CARLA!' Annie calls. 'PACK YOUR BAGS!'
She enters my room.
'Why?' I ask, fearful. What if I've been transferred?
'You've been adopted.'
