Emily's P.O.V.

I stood alone, looking out the window imagining getting away from here one day. One day, i would run away, get away from this place, this nightmare. I hated the feeling of constant sorrow in here. The rooms were haunted with whispers of every story every child who'd ever been here kept. The halls filled with cries of kids who never got chosen to get a family. 

You might wonder why i didnt want to get adopted, well, thats easy. I would never let myself get close to anyone. Because, people lie. They make promises they can't keep. They hurt you and hurt you and hurt you. And it stays with you forever, a constant reminder of how easy it really is to get hurt. 

I watched a bird soar from a tree and free into the sky. I stared at it in envy. I wanted to be that bird, free. No one to answer to, no one questioning you, no one trying to force you into things, no strings, no bagage, just yourself and the air. That bird didn't know how good he really had it.

A family walked by the orphanage. A mom and dad holding the hands of their daughter in between them. She squeeled in happiness and they swung her into the air. Her blonde pigtails flying in the wind, her parents laughed with her.

I looked away.

"Emily!" I heard someone call out.

"What?" I called back, walking away from the window, towards the door.

Karen stood there, hands on her hips, "Are you gonna stay locked up in there forever?"

"Yes." I replied blankly.

She sighed.

Karen worked here, she was actually quite nice, i wasn't trying to be rude, but it was the truth, i wasn't going to lie.

She began to turn around.

"Karen." I called out.

She froze, not used to me saying more than one word sentances.

"I'm going to get out of here one day." I told her.

She didn't reply. I dont think she knew how to, she just walked away.

I sighed and returned to my room, flopping down on the bed.

My roommate had just been adopted and they had yet to get me a new one.

I didnt decorate my portion of the room, i kept it blank. There was no point; i wouldn't be here much longer, i would get away from here soon. I sat straight up.

I could just make a plan now. I kept saying how i would do this and that one day, but never put any action behind it. Now, with no roommate, there was no one to get suspicious, no one to question on me, and more importantly, no one to rat me out.

I walked to my desk and pulled out a stray piece of paper and an old pen.

Slowly i began to devise my plan; First, i would need to learn the combonation to Karen's safe (Thats where she kept the keys to the front door), then i'd need to wait until she left on Sunday to go to the store, then i'd grab the keys, unlock the door and run for it, i'd brought money with me from home when i was younger no one had known about it and i still had it, i could use that to buy a train ticket out of here, then when i was far enough away, i would... well, i'd figure it out.

Just then, the door swung open, Karen stood there, a small smile on her lips.

"Emily! I have a suprise for you!" She squealed.

I looked at her confused.

What was going on? Should i be worried?

"Come with me!" She told me, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

I nodded and followed her out the room and down the creaking stairs.

She brought me to an office, just her and me, or so i thought.

"Emily," She told me smiling, "Someone wants to adopt you!" 

I looked at her suprised and jumped to my feet angrily. "WHAT?!"

She looked shocked that i wasn't excited.

She nodded wearily, "Yes, and your leaving with them today."

"You've got to be freaking kidding me!" I yelled.

"She isn't." A soft voice behind me said.

I whirled around and saw five teenage boys standing there nervously.

Please don't tell me...

"These are the boys who will be taking you." Karen smiled.

Please tell me this is some sick joke.
