The one thing that really kept me a bit happy at this adoption centre was a guy named Bryan, He was so sweet when we met we are always their for each other for any situation. I saw Bryan reading a book on his bed he loves called 'Chasing Life'. I walked up to him with a slight smile. "Um hey Bryan... What's up?" I asked. Bryan noticed that I was their and put his little ripped piece of paper in his book to save his page, he put it on the end of his bed. "Oh hey Amber sorry I didn't see you there I was just reading my book that I read like a thousand times..." Bryan mumbled. Me and Bryan were almost the same age he was just a few months older than me which was pretty lucky. "Wow you still haven't gotten sick of that book...?" I asked giggling a little. "Yeah it's a pretty good book I could lend it to you some time! Ugh I really need to leave this piece of garbage I hate it here don't you?!" He complained. Ha we both hated this place sometimes I think of us escaping this place maybe it could be possible but there are cameras watching us that give us a disadvantage. "Um do you think it would for real be possible to leave this place...? I mean it can't be impossible." I pointed out. Bryan looked like he thought I was crazy with the expression that made me worried I should have just kept my mouth shut if I knew what was good for myself... "Dam Amber your really a little adventurous girl aren't ya? Trust me Amber I've been looking for a way to break out of here for years and still no luck... I would have took you with me but there just isn't a way out if we went through the window we would jump off and break our legs and arm or worse!" Bryan explained. After I thought about what he said he was right there would be no way to leave this place. I forced a smile to him and turned to my bed and tried to keep my tears inside. I went to my bed and laid onto it and closed my eyes letting one tear slip out, I ignored it and went to sleep knowing to stay strong.
A few hours later that night...
I woke up hearing something which made me a bit annoyed since I hated being distributed when I am asleep. I tried going back to sleep but then hearing the sound even louder it was coming from out side the window, For some reason the sound didn't wake up Bryan and he is easy to get woken up. I sat up on my bed rubbing my eyes tiredly and got out of bed quietly making sure to not wake Bryan up. I was a bit of a scardy cat so I slowly walked up to the window and pulled the blinds to the side and saw a ghostly shadow at my window I jumped backwards scared thinking this was a dream or at least a dumb prank, but he was floating! I knew it was really stupid for me to open the window but I opened it a bit with my heart beating three times as fast as normally. "Who and what are you?!" I whispered. The shadow gave me a bright smile. "My name is Blake please don't be frightened by me I mean no harm. Your name is Amber am I correct?" The the shadow replied. How does this shadow thing know my name?! This is really creepy... I think I might faint!
"How do you know my name? And why are you here...? Also! What are you?!" I blurted out. Bryan started moaning so I quieted down. "I'm a shadow from another land you have to believe me if your even risking having this conversation with me right now. I'm here because I need your help I'm human but I was turned into this shadow by a man east of here." blake begged. I chocked on my own saliva for a second thinking that ether I'm going crazy and this isn't real or it's just a really weird dream that I'm having. "This is a dream this can't be real there are not weird talking shadows that come to children's doors asking for help! Thats fricken impossible! If this is real why are you even coming to me? There are like a billon other kids in this world" I pointed out quietly. I glanced up at the clock over my bed and saw it was 4:23 in the morning seriously?! "Also why would you come here at 4:23 in the
fricken morning?!" The shadow man laughed a little to what I said and gave me chills up my spine, it was also new to talk to someone out of the adoption centre. "Please believe me and you'll get to leave this place! I'll protect you I promise." He Begged. I gave a slight smile and nodded my head I wanted to see the world even if I was risking my life. I turned and looked at Bryan feeling like a jerk to have to leave him but I couldn't risk his life. A tear went down my face knowing I'm not gonna see my first and only friend again. "L-lets go before h-he wakes u-up..." I mumbled. I opened the window wide enough for me to craw out of and grab Blake's hand. The shadow stoke out his hand and I held onto it and he started flying high and fast I was so scared I was going to fall and kill myself but it was amazing getting out of the adoption!"Oh my god is this real?! Don't drop me you um ghost?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Don't worry I won't drop you you will be safe now stop screaming before we get someone's attention!" Blake laughed. I smiled looking at all the buildings and houses on the ground it was the most awesome sight I've seen in my life.
