Chores: Chapter 2

Chapter 2:The Demons
Belle's POV:

That's it, I woke around 4:30 a.m. just to finish my chores, which was to make the lobby and bathrooms all clean and spotless. Right after that I had to make breakfast for all the girls, even though it wasn't my chore, I was forced to by the other girls, more likely known to meas my bullies, I can't wait til I'm out of this dump, I'd finally be freed from them, at least hopefully. 

I walk down the stairs to the lobby and grab the bucket and the sponge. Apparently this orphanage was to over rated to actually have brooms and mops. I get on my hands and knees, and start to scrub the floor. Once I finish the lobby I quietly go to the bathroom in our room, I scrub the floors silently trying not to wake anybody. The same routine goes again, get on my hands and knees and then scrub the floor till I can see my reflection.

Once I finished it all I placed the bucket and sponge back in the storage room, I then washed my hands and grabbed the apron. I was the only kid that cooked, so I had to make everything in huge bunches. For breakfast today its bacon and eggs, with a half slice of toast. I never eat breakfast because I am always the last one to get their food, they never had any respect for me. All I wish for is that I got some respect. But I won't ever get it because Marley, the leader of the snitches, makes sure that everybody is mean to me. Right after Breakfast I'm off to do more chores, doing everybody's laundry, I have to wash, dry, and fold all of them. Washing and drying are done by hand, at least the only one I like out of the group of snitches gets to help me. We both agreed that we are secretly friends, but Marley can never find out. 

I would do the washing while, Sapphire did the drying and I also did the folding. We at least had some time to be ourselves while doing the laundry. Sapphire was so fun to be around, but when she was with Marley she was a completely different person.

Sapphire's POV:

It was 4:30 a.m. when Belle got up, I was so tempted to help her, because she does all of Marley's chores. I stopped myself because if Marley figured out that I helped Belle, I would become her new target. I just really wished that Marley wouldn't be so mean to her. She gets no food, she practically starves herself. Every time we do laundry I make sure to sneak some food up to the laundry room with me, and give it to Belle. I can't wait for her to have a better life. If I could be like a sister to her, and both of us get adopted by the same people would mean the world to me. I went back to sleep and woke up and 6. 

I went to the bathroom as Belle was leaving it. I took my quick shower, and then hurried around to get down to the cafeteria. It was so outdated, that it was an ugly pink and brown. Those colors don't even go together. I was the third one in line as Belle served our food. In front of me was Abi, and behind me was Marley. I couldn't ask Belle for extra for her because I was surrounded. I acted like I wasn't that hungry when I was actually starving. When I went to dump my food, I walked past Belle, and whispered to her, I have food for you, meet you in the laundry room. I shoved bacon down the pockets of my old fashioned apron type thing.  When I walked back, Marley gave me the death stare and then growled to me, "why are you talking to that thing." I acted like I never heard her.  Once the bell went off I hurried to the laundry room and waited for Belle. Once she walked in I handed her my extra bacon, she thanked me, and began to eat it. We made a promise that we would secretly be friends, but my "other friends" wouldn't know about it. All I want is to be adopted to the same family as Belle, I'm just trying to figure out when I should tell her.

*Before Bed*

Belle's POV:

It was time for bed, and Sapphire and I had the bathroom, we both brushed our teeth and our hair. Sapphire took her make up off, and I'm not being just nice, but I think that Sapphire is more beautiful without makeup on. Before both of us left the bathroom she whispered to me, "if you ever get adopted and they want another child, can you please pick me." 

My only reply was, "of course, Sapphire your like a sister to me, now that Skyler disappeared. But if you get adopted would you do the same for me?"

She quickly replied with, "of course Belle."

Sapphire's POV:

We were brushing our teeth, and our hair, but when I was removing my makeup, I whispered to Belle, "if you ever get adopted and they want another child, can you please pick me?"

She quickly replied with, "of course, Sapphire, your like a sister to me, now that Skyler disappeared. But if you get adopted would you do the same for me?"

I quickly replied to her with, "of course Belle." and just like that we were off to bed.
