Most of the boxes have been moved outside and unpacked on long tables. People were already buying some of the things and walking off with them.
Malinda smiling and talking about her life with her husband and her 'Children' with no name. Too much smiling, It seemed fake.
Boy and Girl were in their room, looking around to see if anything could be sold.
"This?" Girl held up a yellow dress with small white polka-dots.
"No, It's the only dress you have."
She hung the dress back up neatly and picked out some skirts.
"Do I have too many skirts?"
Boy nodded.
She brought a few pairs over to the cardboard box and dropped them in.
"I don't want to get rid of my toys." She said with a frown.
"There are toys upstairs I forgot to put back, Maybe they are still up there," Boy said standing up.
"We can trick them into thinking these are the toys we were playing with! Good idea!" She ran out the stairs that lead to the attic. Boy followed behind her.
When they reached the top it was empty.
Nothing was left.
"They sold everything." Girl looked back at him.
He shrugged and turned towards the small window.
A black figure shone.
"Father?" Boy started walking towards the black figure shining through the window.
"Is that him?" Girl asked.
Boy came closer and found out there was nothing.
"Nothing Must have been my eyes playing tricks on me.."
He turned back towards his sister.
"Boy.. help.." She said softly.
Another person was up here. A Male, he had his eyes where white and his hair was as well.. A green sprout was on the top of his head. He was wearing a dirty shirt that was obviously too big for him. He looked very young from how small he was.
"Who are you?!" Boy shouted as he snatched his sister away from the strange Male.
"Me? I'm your sprout silly!" The male said with joy.
"My.. Sprout? You mean you're my flower growing in my room?"
Boy walked up to the strange Male and looked him up and down.
"Mhm," The male nodded and chuckled.
"Why can I see you, And why are you real?" Boy stepped back and held his sister
close to him.
"You can only see me. No one else, But you and that Girl." The male pointed his bony finger to Girl. She hunched down, hiding herself behind Boy.
"What do I do with you?.."
The Male shrugged and swayed back and forth.
"Water me, And give me plenty of sunlight! Oh, Can you open the window? It's humid in your room." The male trudged down the stairs and rounded the corner to their rooms.
Boy looked at his sister and slowly followed behind him.
"Where are you going Boy?!" Girl asked in fright.
"To open the window for him?" Boy said.
"You actually believe that he is 'OUR' plant sitting in the window seal?" She tugged at his shirt with nervousness.
"Yeah, This place is heavily guarded with security cameras. It would be hard to get around. Besides, No one looks like.. That."
Girl huffed and slowly went down the stairs terrified how the Male got in and who he even was.
Boy entered the room to find the Male sitting on his bed staring out the window.
"Outside looks really cool," He said softly.
Boy lifted the window and stepped back looking at the plant in the vase. It had a shimmering glow to it, Something he's never seen before.
"How often do you come?" Girl asked, coming closer to the Male.
"Often. Unless you don't want me too." He said.
"No, You can stay. We need a little fun here." Girl smiled.
The Male smiled back, Though his eyes displayed complete emptiness, Boy and Girl could tell he was happy.
Boy stared into his meaningless pale eyes leading nowhere.
An endless white loop, Inhumanly white.
Not even an iris, No color. No nothing. Just white.
His clera blended in so perfectly with his iris.
There is no Iris.
There is no pupil.
There is nothing.
