"Hello! Welcome to Millberry orphanage"

Ms.Grace said approaching the teen that just entered. He had a rough demeanor, and dark bags made a semicircular under his eyes. A woman followed him dragging a older male.

"Hi,I was wondering if we could look at the boys you have?" the woman asked,smiling softly. That made Ms.Grace perk up,beaming with excitement. Going to the computer to run and check there ID's and background.

She grabbed her keys, she kept the door to the living room locked just incase someone who was not welcome,tried to hurt the children. It had happened a few times,where abusive parents tried to steal back there children.

Unlocking the door,she invited them in. The living room bounced to life,as a group of small children ran to her legs,clinging to them. She laughed and explained to them that there guest's were here to adopt and that they should behave.

"Alright,alright! Calm down" she giggled,as she gently brushed them aside. Turning to the now amused family,including the teen.

"Feel free to have a look around and if you have any questions please ask me" she said approaching a familiar boy hiding in the coner behind the couch,yet younger looking. Slowly she bent at the knees and spoke to him.

"Come now,Zack don't be shy" she said softly,though the boy didn't move. Sighing she returned to watch the family interact with the children.

Zack's P.O.V

Ms.Grace said that they were nice, I watched as the woman and man talked to bea,a girl my age. The sound of the couch squeaking under pressure settled me,making a squawk noise leave my throat attracting the weights attention.
The teen from earlier peaked into my hiding place. He looked confused at first and then smiled. 

"Hey squirt,whatcha doin' down there" he said amused, I tried to back up more,but there was a wall. Ms.Grace sighed and told him about me.

"... he is very skittish,poor thing screamed when I first took him to school...." she explained what happened at the school. I didn't like that place, it was filled with invisible people that I can only see.

"Oh my goodness!" The mom said,I seen her peek at me with a look of adoration. She smelled like Ms.storm before she disappeared,Ms.Grace said she went to heaven. Was she going to heaven??

"Hey sweetie, my name is Anna,come now" she spoke sweetly to me,I could not understand why she was looking at me that way. She kneeled to the floor,smiling reaching out to me.

"Don't be afraid,I'm not going to hurt you" she said softly, I believe her. I take her hand and she pulls me to her. I smile a little,letting her hold me. Maybe this is a good thing??
