It was cold. A cold day. I was one of the many children waiting for someone outside. Someone to take me away from this place.
But why won't someone take me? What did I do to not seem adoptable? Is it my hair? Is it my face?
I don't know. All I wanted was to leave the orphanage. I want to leave this cage.
But I can't. Time ticks very slowly as the war between Humans and Vampires continue on. Not a single couple or family has arrived since then. The orphanage was slowly increasing in the amount of children who lost their parents in the War. Those who were around the age of fifteen were sent off to work or to war. All hope of being adopted was tossed away into the depths of my mind.
When will I leave this dreary place?
When will I feel a sense of freedom?
"I want to know." I muttered to myself as I stared outside the window of my room.
