The Dream Catcher

Yellow Orange Indigo

Now, Yellow, Orange, and Indigo are an interesting group of younguns. You should know that they are still in the city but their death date is drastically close. Yellow is playing video games in the living room. A few doors down, Orange is getting ready for her Ceremony. And lastly Indigo, she's upstairs sitting on the bedroom floor with headphones on, blaring the song Scream by Usher. For a fourteen-year-old, she will probably lose her hearing in a few years. No wait, she is definitely going to have hearing loss in the future if she doesn't turn her music down anytime soon. Personally not my cup of tea, but I won't judge anyone for the music they listen to. Except maybe for Yellow. His music is just awful. Who likes rock anymore?

"INDIGO GET THOSE BLASTED THINGS OUT OF YOUR EARS AND COME DOWN IT'S TIME TO GO!" Yellow's foster mom yells up the stairs. Yellow flinches at the sound of her voice and turns off his video games quickly. He had gotten a handful of lectures from that woman, and he didn't need another one.

Orange walks out of her room in a strapless pink dress that came just below her knees. On her waist is a simple yet elegant silver belt. Her death date was clearly seen on her left collarbone. She also has on some of her favorite white sandals.

"Oh Honey, you look wonderful," her foster dad says. Orange's 5'5 frame looks up at his large 6'3 frame and gave him a shy smile.

"You know this is a really big honor. You should smile more," the ogre said walking out the door. She is secretly happy that "the brat number 3's" Ceremony is today.

"What's all the yelling about?" Indigo huffs, walking down the stairs.

"Did you really forget the Ceremony, Indi?" Yellow frowned.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that...." Indigo sighs. "Sorry Orange."

"It's fine, don't worry about it," Orange says with a small voice.

"ARE YOU SLACKERS COMING OR WHAT? I WILL DRAG YOUR BEHINDS OUT OF THIS HOUSE IF YOU DON'T FREAKING HURRY UP!"

"Coming!" Everyone yells in unison. No one wants to experience the wrath that is the ogre. Once everyone was situated in the car, the ogre started driving.

"How long will it take to get there, Grey?" Yellow asks, already bored.
The tall man turns to glare at Yellow and growls, "How many times do I have to tell you it's 'Dad', not Grey!"

"Sorry, Dad." Yellow says, sarcasm dripping from his words, ignoring Grey's posted scowl.

Indigo is looking out the window trying desperately not to get car sick. Orange is sitting in the middle seat looking down at her hands when she suddenly burst out crying.

"Not again," the old ogre mutters under her breath. Grey doesn't even notice, and like the asshole he is he usually ignores when someone is bawling their eyes out.

"Hey, don't worry. It's going to be alright," Yellow says soothingly, taking Orange's hand and trying to comfort her. "It's okay to be nervous. I'll tell ya what, we'll get ice cream when you're done with the Cereal." Orange just nodded her head slightly and tried to keep the crying to a minimum. You coman hear the ogre snicker at the comment.

A few hours of more yelling, arguing, and crying later they finally get to their destination. But the thing is, it's not where they were supposed to go. The old ogre was grinning from ear to ear. Her plan was successfully completed. She gets out of the car and yells at everyone but Grey to follow.

"Why is the Ceremony in the Great Wood?" Orange asks, jumping out of the car after Yellow.

"It's not."

Indigo gets out of the car, slamming the door shut making Orange flinch. She still has her headphones in blaring music. She doesn't care that they were in the Great Wood. Rather she is smiling because she managed to not throw up the entire trip.

The old ogre motions for them to follow her. She starts walking into the forest, not giving them a second glance. By the time they were done walking it was dark outside. Indigo, Orange, and Yellow didn't realize the ogre had left them a while back. By the time they did notice it, was too late. She was already long gone.

She laughed the whole way back to the car. She truly hated those children. Her secret? She worked for the government, second in command. Getting those children out of her house was her first priority. When she realized Orange's Death Ceremony was soon, she took the opportunity to get rid of them. And her plan worked. Somewhat. She doesn't realize yet, but her scenes won't play out as she expected, whether for better or worse.
