-Third Person P.O.V-
"Caroline, dear!"
Miss Murphy found Caroline's room and saw that she was fast asleep. She scrunched her nose and shook her head.
"Oh, hon, wake up!" She shook her back and forth. Caroline groaned.
"A lovely couple came to pick you up! Get ready and pack your things!"
Caroline sat up with a tired expression her face. It looked as though her energy has dried out!
Miss Murphy gasped. "Caroline! Why do you look like that? Make yourself presentable for your new family!"
"Uhhhuhhh... Aden...Aden kept me up all night..." She yawned. "And what do you mean, Miss Murphy? A new family?"
"You and your excuses...and yes! A young couple picked you out of all 137 kids in this Orphanage!" She encouraged her.
Me out of 137 kids? But why? Caroline thought to herself.
Probably because they want you out of here? A black cloud behind her answered.
"Aden, that's not true... is it?" Caroline murmured.
"What's not what, hon?" She leaned over.
"Oh... nothing... I'll get ready." Caroline began packing her bags slowly. Miss Murphy was too excited for her to leave ('Even though she was a sweet child, she causes to much chaos at the orphanage' Murphy thought).
"You know what? I'll pack! Take a quick shower and wear your flower dress I bought you yesterday!" She shooed her to the bathroom. The dress was about 5 dollars. To Miss Murphy, she thought it looked cute on girls like Caroline. But Caroline didn't think so (just like the other girls in the orphanage). It was an ugly yellow and the flowers were stitched horribly onto the fabric. But what can you say? It was a cheap dress after all.
Miss Murphy waited downstairs with Caroline's small luggage (3 shirts, 2 shorts, 1 pair of pants, and the clean night gown she wore when she arrived at the orphanage). She watched the couple filling the documents. They were writing/siging as fast as they could, but in order to do that, they didn't bother to read everything.
"I'm done with mine, are you?" Erika put down her pen and crossed her legs formally.
"What?! Already? Damn, I need four pages to go..." Liam scratched his head. " I also need a magnifying glass...this font size is like, 8 or something!"
Erika giggled. She turned her head towards Miss Murphy.
"Soo... what's Caroline like? Did she live here all her life or something?"
"Oh no, hon. She came here 4 days ago by herself! I was surprise to see bloo-" Miss Murphy closed her mouth. She thought how the information she was about to give Erika was disturbingly horrifying (also, the opportunity of getting Caroline out of here might fail).
"See what?" Erika asked.
"Oh uh, it's nothing important. Anyhow, I was sad to see that a girl her age..." She continued.
Erika nodded and smiled. She stopped listening when she noticed from the corner of her eye a small figure that was standing on the middle of the staircase and shifted her gaze. There, on the mahogany colored stairs, stood a young girl. Her hair was a silky, dark-chocolate brown which was tied up in a short ponytail. She stared at Erika with her emerald eyes.
Erika saw how messy her dress looked, but somehow she pulled it off. Caroline noticed Erika shift her gaze to her gown, so she looked away in embarrassment.
"Caroline?" Erika stood up. Caroline looked at her again and nodded. Liam heard his wife and looked up to see Caroline. He was surprised how stunningly beautiful a girl her age was.
"Oh, Caroline dear!" Miss Murphy beamed. "They will be your new family!"
"Hi..." Caroline murmured as she gave them a weak wave. She continued to jog down the stairs.
Erika slowly walked towards Caroline, and with a smile, she kneeled her right leg and rested her hands on her left.
Aden closely watched Erika's moves. He moved his smokey body around her, making Erika shiver a bit.
I imagined an old lady adopting you. Ha! Caroline ignored Aden's statement.
"Hello, Caroline. I'm Erika Adams amd over there is Liam Adams." She pointed to her husband. Caroline took a quick glance at him and saw that he was smiling at her. "We'll be taking care of you from now on. I don't know how your parents treated you before, so if there's-"
"I don't... know my parents." Caroline interrupted. Erika was confused.
"She suffers from amnesia, Mrs. Adams. She doesn't even know her last name!" Miss Murphy exclaimed.
"Well," Erika turned to her and back at Caroline, "Now she has a new one."
Caroline stared deeply into Erika's brown eyes and smiled. She unexpectedly gave her a huge hug. Erika hesitantly returned it back, looking at her husband who was giving her a 'thumbs up'.
"I have a new friend, Aden." Caroline muttered.
"Aden?" Erika questioned. "Who's that, Carrie? I-if you don't me calling you that, uh-"
"I like 'Carrie' " She smiled. "And Aden's my best friend in the whole world! He's right next to you."
"Best friend in the whole world"? I'm gonna puke. Aden made a gagging noise.
"Aden, stop it! You're so rude, sometimes."
Erika looked around her. Nothing was there.
"Um-"
Miss Murphy came over. "'Aden' is her imaginary friend, Mrs. Adams. She made him up so she could try to get out of trouble."
"Riight..." Erika faked a smile.
