( Thea's POV) I woke up early and rushed to eat breakfast. I woke up earlier then I would of anyways. I ran to the adoption fair and when I got there is looked so nice. There was so many kids running around and the older kids were in there own corner. I walked up to the tent and they put my name on a nametag and gave me a clipboard. " Please write down a child that you would like to adopt" said the man. I walked off and looked for a young girl that wasn't a preeteen or an infant. Then in the distance I saw two girls that were sitting in a sandbox. I walked over to them and wrote both of their names down.  " I see you met Lana and Coral the two best friends" said the lady from yesterday. " Yeah they are both so adorable, but I only can care for one" I said. " Well then you which one are you interested in the most" asked the lady as she pulled me aside. " I really like Coral" I said with a smile. " Well Coral comes with a brother named Chase" said the lady. " We don't like to separate siblings" said the Lady. " Well I guess I would have to care for Lana" I said frowning. " Look Lana is a wonderful five year old and she is very nice and caring" said the Lady. " I feel like I should adopt all three of them but my house is already full of chaos" I said starting to cry. " I get it don't we all want to adopt these wonderful children" said the lady. " I feel so bad for them" I said. The lady gave me and hug and Coral came over and hugged my leg. I picked her up and hugged her. " So have you choose your choice" asked the lady. " I would like to care for Coral and her brother" I said crying of tears of joy. " Nooo" yelled Lana. " You can't take my best friend away from me please adopt me" cried Lana. " Honey I can't care for three kids" I said feeling bad of what choice I made. " Come here Lana it's alright" said the lady picking her up in her arms. " Wait is there a way I could adopt Lana as well" I asked the lady. " No I already bended the rules for you, it's to much for you to care for all three" said the lady walking away with Lana in her arms. I felt so bad for separating them apart but I couldn't do anything. I was gonna care for two children and Coral was gonna be the next winter maiden. I cried as I put Coral down, " thank you so much for choosing me and my brother  Chase" said Coral. " Your welcome honey" I said as she ran away. I walked back to the tent and gave them my list and they nodded at me. " these to will be at the adoption center when you pick them up but would you like to visit them at their group home" asked the man.  " No I think picking them up tomorrow is better for me right now"  I said walking away in tears. I couldn't believe I adopted two children and not one like I promised myself.   But there is so many children in foster care so I guess I am doing my part by adopting two of them. " Hey Ms I'm Chase the brother of Coral" said Coral. " Oh hi my name is Thea I guess your mom" I said. " Well my adopted mother so yes" said Chase. " how old are you Chase" I asked " I'm 12 years old" said Chase. " Well I'm happy that someone adopted us" he said as he hugged me tightly. " I do hope that you come back for us tomorrow" said Chase. " I will come back but why do worry yourself like that" I asked. " The last person that wanted us she didn't come back and we felt like we were stuck here" said Chase. " Oh that's not good at all" I said.  " Well have a good day Thea" said Chase. He walked back into the fair and didn't look back. " That was so lovely of him to talk to me like that" I said out loud. I should go and tell the other maidens. " I would advise you not to tell the other maidens about the death"  " Well I should because North isn't coming back to life" I said. " she has passed on now let her go"
