The Kirestone Escapade [Discontinued]

Chapter 1: Malice

"You inconsiderate, deceitful child !" Miss Ursten scowled, harshly shoving Emlyn to the cold ground. She fell with great force earning a few grazes.

Mrs Urstens was an intimidating woman, she had an earsplitting voice that boomed across a room, she stood at a great height always looking down at the people around her. Her humpback was almost as noticeable as the hairy mole on her neck, Emlym would often will herself to not walk up to the woman and yank it off. Her teeth were slightly yellow and stuck out at different angles, Emlyn had often heard stories from people who had closely felt her wrath that her breath smelt like the drains when they backed up, she considered herself lucky that the only evidence of this she held were these words. Mrs Ursten was an awful woman that hated children with a burning passion; she was also the woman in charge.

"I'm sorry," Emlyn mumbled slowly getting up.

"I didn't hear that ." The large woman said looking into Emlyn's forest green eyes.

"I said ... I'm . Sorry ." She spat in response , glaring at the woman , aware of the punishment that would soon arise .

"To your room , you are not getting any food till tomorrow evening , cause anymore trouble and I'll show you your worth you brat !"

"I don't want that unedible rubbish anyways." Emlyn mummbled walking up the stairs towards room A , the room she shared room with other children .

9 years ago Emlyn's parents died in a horrible car crash and she was sent to the place she dreaded the most , " Urstens foster institute" where she spent her whole life . Life here was rather harsh and unbearable , as most of the other children would describe it .

The food was disgusting , and the all the women that chose to slave away to the malicious words that had a tendency to spew from Mrs Urstens mouth treated the orphan kids like they were a burden to society , rather than actual humans .

All except one , Antoinette .

She was nothing but kind to all the kids there and considered them all like family as did they to each other . She showed Emlyn love , and cared for her deeply from the day Emlyn stepped through the doors of this place .

"Oh my , Emlyn what happened , are you alright ?"

Emlyn was met with Antoinette's familiar British accent which was currently bombarding Emlyn with a mountain of questions .

"Yes Antoinette I'm fine ." She answered the worried maid .

"Good .... Now get to it then , what happened Emlyn , I told you , you aren't to be getting in any trouble ." She scolded, a trace of concern present in her words .

"I uh .... was getting some food for Anne , the witch said she wasn't going to get any tonight ."

"So you broke Into the kitchen !" ...
"And don't call her that ." Antoinette added suppressing a smile .

"Anne was going to be hungry , she didn't have lunch yesterday and a growing 5 year old should not be resisted her right to food ."
Emlyn defended pacing the room .

"Do not worry I assure you Annabeth will receive food , I'll sneak some up for the both of you ... and Connor , who is bound to be getting up to his own shenanigans," Antoinette reassured her .

"Now c'mere those grazes need to be attended to ."

Emlyn walked towards her and sat down in front of her . Antoinette grabbed the first aid kit and applied some disinfectant , then put on a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' bandage .
