4 days (morning) (428-397 children) (2 special)
The bars had opened, but there had been no one to welcome them and tell them what to do. The little girl stared outside. She didn’t want to go back out on the red sand. It was better here. She touched her arm and winced. Her wound hadn’t healed yet. It still hurt a lot. They had changed her bandage this morning before the bars went up.
The little girl observed as one kid decided to go outside. Maybe he liked it better on the sand. Then the little girl saw what he had seen. In the middle of their sand box lay a small table. On the table lay a plate of fruits. The little girl’s stomach began to growl. They only gave food in the morning.
The kid ran towards the food and other children did as well. The first child was ten meters away before he blew up.
One minute he was running the next, the ground beneath him had swallowed him up in flames. Now lay the charred body of the child.
The little girl gasped and the other children stopped running. How could they have possibly thought it would be a calm day?
One child grabbed a handful of sand and threw it in front of him. Nothing happened. He stepped forward. Nothing happened. He repeated this process several times and the little girl admired his intelligence. Then another child blew up.It wasn’t the child who had been smart, it was another one that had decided to stop moving. Several other children ran for their holes and then more of them blew up. One child survived however.
The little girl watched in the same awe she had Purple as this new kid flashed as the explosion hit him and reappeared meters away with slightly burned clothes. The kid stayed on the ground confused as the rest of the children reached their holes. The bars closed and a scream was heard. One of the bars had fallen directly on the leg of one of the children. It diverted the attention as the knight came out from one of the holes, picked up the exhausted child on the sand.
“TRANSPORTATION. RARE.” He said before heading off. The little girl couldn’t help, but feel like something was being hinted.
