"Red Robin, Red Robin, send Siorc right over"

The purplette sprinted across, crashing into the linked arms and busting through, only because of her speed. She was very lithe, the fastest kid in the Penitentiary, along with Blume. She cheered, along with the kids on her team.
"Hey you cheated!" shouted a black haired boy, in his stupid nasally voice. His name was AJ,and his favorite thing to do was complain and look down on everyone. He could intimidate everyone, unless Siorc, Blume, Klaika, and Nyasi were around. They could lay him flat faster than Ragnarok could eat a building.
"Oh yeah? How do you cheat in a game where all you do is run?" Siorc replied, in a thick, sweet accented voice.
"You totally bribed those kids to separate their arms!"
A new, soft and silky voice joined the fray, from the dark corner where she always watched, never joined or talked. She could always be seen, even if she didn't want to. Her hair lit up the dark, burning like real fire.
"And how could you prove an impromptu accusation like that?" Klaika asked. No one really approached her, she had an intimidating aura and a hard glare, especially for an eight-year-old. She only spoke if it was belittling AJ, or to the sweet Nyasi.
"I..uh...My father will hear about this!"
He ran off into the tunnels. A few kids clapped, then returned to the game. Siorc slowly walked over to where Klaika sat.
"How come your always by yourself?" she asked.
"Because I learn by observing." the small girl replied.
"Hey Siorc! Come play some more!"
Blume called, echoing across the cavern. Siorc turned away with a quick wave, and ran back to the lines.

"Red Robin, Red Robin, send Blume right over"

The call echoed.
