The Orphan

Captured

    Mackenzie's POV
Me and the girls walked into school the next day. We all were stopped in the hallway by a bunch of kids asking for our autograph. We gave them the autographs and went to class.it was the last day of school until winter break. The school day was normal. Not a lot to tell. I met up with Jayden at lunch and Kalani Wanted to be annoying! "Hey Jay?" She Asked her. "Yeah Kalani?" She Said in returns. "We were told you freestyle. Why don't you and Mackenzie show us some?" She Said looking at me and Jayden. "I'm not sure!" I Said. "Oh come on Kenz! It'll be fun!" Jayden said. "Fine!" I always find myself giving into my best friend. We got up and Kalani played some music off of her phone.

It ended up being a dance battle. We had fun. And after it all we were called to the office. Me and Jayden looked at each other and then shrugged. We walked to the office only to see the Orlando's. "What's wrong?" I asked. We noticed that Asher and Conner were there too. "Now really what's going on?" Jayden asked. "You guys are going back to the orphanage earlier than we expected." He Said. "WHAT!?" All four of us exclaimed. "Can we at least say goodbye to our friends?" I asked. "No, you have to leave now." He Said. It looked like he was in a rush. The office people practically pushed us into the car. "Hey!" I Said. They slammed the door and we started driving. "This is like kidnaping!" Jayden said. "That's because it is!" A women's voice said. She took off a mask. "Mrs Wincer?" I questioned. "In the flesh!" She Said with a evil smirk. Oh how I hate her. "HELP!" Jayden said banging on the window. "STOP YELLING!" Mrs Wincer yelled. She flinched and laid on Conner. Conner wrapped his arms around her. She just stared off. Mrs Wincer closes the privacy window. "What do we do?" Jayden asked in a panic. "Calm down Babe. Everything's going to be alright." Conner said kissing the top of her head. "The Orlando's will get us out of this. And remember still my sister!" Asher said to Conner. He just put his hands up in defense. "Why are you being ok with this?" I asked the boys. "We all need to be strong. We will get through this." Asher said. "I just want Johnny here!" I said. Clearly the privacy window doesn't give much privacy. "Who?" Mrs Wincer asked me. "No one!" I Said not wanting to put anyone else in danger. "Tell me now Mackenzie and I'll make your beating lighter!" She said threw her teeth. "No!" I exclaimed. "Have it your way Mackenzie Ziegler!" She Said as she put up the privacy window again. "We're going back to that hell hole we call a orphanage." Jayden said. "I would watch my words Ms. Jayden Bartels. I can still hear." Mrs. Wincer said. Jayden looked worried at Conner. "I won't let her hurt you Baby. I promise." He said. He kissed her head again and Jayden seemed to calm down a little. How can Just a few words leave such a impact. Then I remembered. "I will never let you go back there. I promise." I quietly repeated Johnny's words. "What was that Mackenzie?" Mrs. Wincer asked. "Nothing!" I Said quick. "Don't lie to me you foolish Child!" She Said. "I'm not lying! I was just going over song lyrics in my head! It was nothing!" I Said. "We'll see about that Ms. Ziegler!" She Said with a cold hearted smile. She stopped the car. Due to the blacked out windows we didn't know where we were. "Ok. Resist, equals a beating. Got it!" She said holding a ruler in-front of my face. I slowly nodded my head. Men in black and white suits came. The same people that were "working" in the office. They grabbed my arm. Hard. I winced in pain. "Does that hurt? Let me help you with that!" The guy said. He grabbed on even tighter. They walked Asher, Jayden, Conner, and I into the orphanage. "So you know how you stayed in that attic?" She Asked Conner. He nodded his head yes. "Now you stay in the basement! It used to be a prison. Just like the rest of the building. We re-did everything but the basement." She explained. Well. That explains a lot! The people from before us and threw us in the basement. "Oww!" Jayden said as she held her head. "You ok jay?" Conner asked. "I'm fine." She Said. We all stood up. I turned on the flashlight from my phone. "I saw something really horrible. I was in a locked cell. Jayden and Conner were in a locked cell next to me. And on the end was Asher in a locked cell. "What the hell?" I questioned under my breath. "Why can't I open the door!" Jayden said tugging at the cell door. "Let me try." Conner said. I gave it all of his strength but it wouldn't budge. "It's not unlocking. The witch locked us in here!" Jayden said. "What do we do?" Conner asked us. "Why are you asking me? I can't get us out of here with a wave of my hand!" I said sarcastically. "Cool your jets Kenzie! I was just asking to see if anyone had some ideas." Conner said with his hands up in defense. We heard the door unlock from upstairs. We all went quiet. I could hear the click of high heels walking down the hard wooden steps. "Who should I start with first?" Mrs. Wincer asked running her fingers along the cell doors. "How about you?" Mrs. Wincer said stopping at Jayden and Conners cell. "Ms. Jayden Bartels. You have a debt to pay." Sh said it so cold hearted. Jayden started to walk forward. Tears running down her face like river water. Conner put his arm in front of her. "Take me." He Said. "What?" Mrs. Wincer asked him. "You heard me. Take me instead. I put all of that stuff in her head. She loved it here. Please." Conner pleaded. "Fine." Mrs.Wincer Said. Conner turned to Jayden. How I wish Johnny was here.

     Jayden's POV
"No Conner. Baby. Please don't do this. I begged him. I whispered so no one else would hear. "Jayden. Please. Your a good person. You don't deserve to be hit. I can't stand to watch her hurt you again Jay. I love you too much." He Said as he put his forehead up against mine. "Please." I begged him again. "I'm sorry Baby." He Said as he pulled his head away from mine and walked to the door of our cell. More tears were coming down than before. "Your a brave boy Conner Finnerty. But stupid!" Mrs. Wincer said very evil as she unlocked the cell. Conner walked out and she slammed the door shut and locked it again. I ran to the bars. She started hitting Conner right in-front of me. "NO! STOP PLEASE!" I yelled crying harder than before. She didn't care. She was amused with herself by seeing me in pain. That's why she beat him right in-front of me. "CONNER, CONNER!" I screamed louder than before. I was having a full meltdown. Conner is the only person besides My Brother to make me feel safe. Right now he's risking his life for me. I kept screaming his name and crying. Mrs. Wincer opened the cell and threw him back in. "Conner, Conner baby, Baby, listen to me." I Said to him. "Yes Jayden?" He asked. His voice weak. "Never EVER do that for me again!" I Exclaimed. "No promises." He said smiling. He wasn't bleeding. Only from his lip. He was badly bruised tho. "And for the record. I would make the same decision over and over again." He said smiling. I felt his pulse and it was strong. He was going to be just fine in a matter of minutes. He sat up and walked over to the bench. He sat on it and I sat next to him. He laid me on his lap and played with my hair. "Ok you guys are cute!" Kenzie said. We all just laugh. "What the walls in here are like paper!" She Said. We all laughed again. "DTOP WITH THE LAUGHING!" I heard someone yell at Kenzie. No!
    Mackenzie's POV
"Why don't you tell us what you were talking about in the car Mackenzie. Or else." Mrs Wincer threatened me. "Or what?" I challenged. "Or else this little angel will get hurt! I know it would hurt you more to see her suffer than you suffering yourself." Mrs. Wincer said. She pulled a little blonde girl out from behind her. Alexis!
••• (we interrupt this story to show you Alexis)

Name: Alexis Oladi
Age:8
Description: sweetest girl you will ever meet. Wouldn't hurt a fly (because she's scared of them) beautiful, and Kenzie is like her big sister.
•••(now back to your scheduled story)
"Now, you can watch me beat your little friend of yours, or tell me what your talking about." Mrs. Wincer said. I could see the fear in Alexis's eyes. "Fine! I'll tell you everything. Just don't hurt her!" I broke. "Good Choice." She Said as she unlocked my cell and threw Alexis in. "I don't need her yelling all my secrets." Mrs. Wincer said. I helped Alexus up. "Go sit on the bench. I'll be over in a minute." I whispered to her. She slowly nodded her head and went over to the bench. "So Who are you talking about Mackenzie?" Mrs. Wincer asked with a evil smirk. I wanted to lie to her. But I cant risk Alexis. "Johnny Orlando is my Boyfriend. He'll come looking for us when he finds out we're gone. Just you wait. You'll get what's coming to you." I Said. She slapped me through the bars. "Maybe. But we'll find him before he can find us!" She Said evilly. "I heard her walk upstairs and the door lock. "What did I just do!" I cursed at myself. "I just put all of my friends. And my boyfriend in danger." I said walking over to the cell wall. "What am I going to do!" I Exclaimed grabbing my head with my hands. I felt someone tug on my skirt. It was Alexis. "Yes Lexi." I Said bending down so I'm at her level. "Who's Johnny?" She Asked me tilting her head to an angle. It's the cutest thing ever. "He's my boyfriend. We love each other very much." I Said to her. "Oh. Ok! Is he nice?" She Asked. "Very nice." I Said. "Will I get to meet him?" She Asked. "Based on how things are going. Maybe." I Said sad. "You should go to bed. It's late." I Said to Her. "Ok. Good night Kenzie!" Alexis said as she ran to the mattress on the floor. She laid  down and fell asleep. Me and Jayden talked through the bars and then I went to bed. But I couldn't sleep. All I could thing was about Johnny. I hope he's ok.
