Friends Forever?

Chapter 1

"Sweetie..wake up.. sweetie?" I over here as I try to wake up. I try to open my eyes but all I see are images of me tossing and turning. I finally open my eyes and I'm standing in the middle of an abaonded street covered in blood. I look down at my hands and they were all burned. I started to scream, I turned around and I see Flames starting to surround me. I cover myself with my hands and I continued to scream.

That's when I sit up and I look at my hands and they weren't burned. I sighed in relief. That's when I look around and I'm in a weird room. I try to get up but I get a sharp pain in my lower back. What happened to me? As my mind continued to wander I see an old lady turning to face me. "How are you doing, thank heavens you woke up." I give her a weird look.

"Where am I?" "You are at an orphanage sweetie," she says and I gasp. "Orphanage?" "Yes sweetie, someone found you on the side of the road all bruised and bloody so they brought you here." I sat there confused as can be, how can I not remember what happened to me? "Am I alone?" She nods. I couldn't help it and I start to cry. "I'm sorry sweetie, no one with your description is looking for you." I sighed.

My head was hurting because I couldn't remember anything. I wiped my tears. "It's ok actually I do remember something today is my 10th birthday or I'm 10 years old." She smiles, "well yes sweetie but here we don't celebrate birthdays, this is the MistHaven Orphanage and we don't have time for that, so it's time to take you to your classroom to meet the other kids, oh and my name is Mrs. Potts." I give her a dirty look. She grabs me and walks me to the classroom, where all the other kids were at. My back is killing me but I have to suck it up.

"Young ones, I would like to welcome a new member of our lovely orphanage," she says as everyone quieted down and faced her. I stood there quietly and everyone was just staring blankly at me. She escorted me towards the back and sat me next to these weird tall kids. "Snart, Damien, Merlyn, Harley, and Minnick, be nice to... what's your name sweetie?" She asks and I sigh. "Emma." She smiles.

"Be nice to her if not you will all hear from me." They nod. I sit down and I stare at these kids, they are probably like 13 or 14 and it looks like they could eat me in one bite. They ignore me and go back to talking amongst themselves. I look over and I see a boy that was staring me and then he smiled but I thought nothing of it, just that his eyes are blue and his hair is black.

Oh and he was the first person here to smile at me so I guess that made me happy. Break time came and we all went outside. I walk over to a tree and sat under it then leaned against it because my back was still hurting. I was trying to remember what happened to me but I couldn't remember anything. Only these weird images of me burning.

As I'm sitting there I see those kids walk up to me. "Hey new meat, my name is Minnick." I stayed quiet. "Im talking to you." I stayed quiet. "Oh what happened, you sad because mommy and daddy abandon you because of that stupid blonde colored hair?" I rolled my eyes. Everyone here had either brown, red, or black hair, and I had blonde hair so I stood out like a sore thumb. I stayed quiet again.

"Well why don't you tell us what happened?" One of the boys asks me. "I think she's deaf Damien," Minnick says. I got up and sighed, "I'm sorry I simply don't remember." "Lies," Minnick says, "who do you think you are, to defy us like that?" She starts to push me and all of them start shoving me around and that made my back hurt even more. "Stop it!" I yelled and that's when that boy that was in my class comes up and pushes everyone away.

"Hey leave her alone guys, come on." "Killian stay out of it, she's new, you know the rules, she needs to learn the ways of this orphanage," Damien says. I scoff. "Please, leave," Killian says as he clenches his jaw. They all shake their heads. He grabs Damien by the collar of his shirt, "was I not clear?" He says and another boy pulls Damien away and scoffs. "Calm down Jones gosh, come on, let's go." I sigh in relief.

"You're lucky fresh meat that this dude is defending you but he won't be there all the time," Minnick says as she walks away chuckling. Then they all walked away. I stood there quietly. "You ok?" He asks. I nod. "Killian Jones," he says as he extends his hand out to me. "Emma, thanks for helping me out," I say with a half smile. "No problem, I just hate the fact that they bully everyone around here." I nod.

"How old are you?" He asks. "10, and you?" I ask. "I'm 13," he responds. "Cool." I sat on the floor and he sat next to me, "so how'd you end up here?" I laid down by the tree and stared at the branches and he laid next to me as well; "I don't know," I said then sighed. He gives me a weird look.

"Yeah, I just remember waking up here with my back hurting and everything else is a blur," I say nervously as I was messing with the bark of the tree. "Hmm, that's odd." "Yeah, Mrs. Potts says that they found me on the side of the road all bruised and bloody so yeah that's where I come from, the road." He nods. "So how'd you end up here?" He stays quiet.

"I was abandoned like you," he said and I looked at him and smiled. "Welcome to the abandoned club," I said and I extended my hand and he shook it. "Friends?" "Friends," I said and we both smiled. All of a sudden we hear the bell ring so it meant it was time to go back inside. I sit back down at my desk and all the bullies didn't even acknowledge my presence so that was awesome. I look at Killian and he smiles at me.

Even though I was still scared out of my mind to be here, I was happy to be here. It's night time and I get escorted to my room. I'm in there with three other girls, named Angela, Daisy, and Tessa. "Hi," I say and all three of them ignore me. Well it seems that no one here really wants me, well hopefully I'm not here for long.
