Orphanage [1]

I smiled as I packed my bags. Today, me and some friends would escape the orphanage. The clerk lady was always raping us and we decided we had had enough.

My eyes widened at the sudden flood of terrible memories. I stood there for about twenty seconds before shaking my head and continuing to pack.

I heard footsteps and shrank down behind the bed. "It's okay." Mitch said. "It's just me."

"Thank god." I said, coming out of hiding. "I thought you were the clerk."

"The last thing I want is to be that terrible person." He said, his lips in a tight line. His body froze in terror and so did mine as we heard heels clicking down the hall. There was a knock, but not on our door.

"Mitch, you in there?" SHE asks.

A sigh comes from down the hall and heel clicks get closer.

Mitch looked at me alarmed. "F-" he was cut off by someone slowly opening the door.

"Jump!" I yelled. He jumped out the window as the clerk walked in. I three the luggage out and the clerk grabbed my arm as I was about to jump.

"You're not leaving, my little toy." she said. I raised her arm and bit her-hard. Blood ran down the deep wound as she screamed out in pain, letting go of my arm.

"Go to hell!" Were my last words to her. I jumped out the window and she scowled as I fell into Mitch and the other escapee's arms.
