BATIM Adventures

Orphanage farm-end

Norman awoken by the morning greetings of little Susie and it didn't take long before the room was live with action. He stretched his arms up as he yawned then pulled himself up. He glanced over at Henry's empty bed and felt the sadness creep back in. He does miss Henry but not as much as Joey was. And Norman could tell by the look of Joey that he had been crying silently. He felt so bad for the poor guy. He had lost his best friends because of Sammy. They both understood the position Sammy was in but Joey hated him now. Norman couldn't blame him. Yet he was still going to keep Joey from hurting Sammy.

Speaking of Sammy, Norman turned towards his bed and made eye contact with him. Poor guy had guilt all over his face. Norman can see he was hating himself over Henry's death. He came over and sat next to him, letting him lay his head on his chest. "I'm ..im sorry...." he mumbled but Norman could understand him. "I didn't want this to happy!"

Norman hand ran though the blonde morning hair. " your not the blame for this Sammy." Norman whispers in his ear. "Mom is who to blame for letting us die like this." He reminded him. "Your just trying to stay alive." Sammy nodded because it was true. He was just doing this to stay alive. "and soon we're escape this place, together." He kisses his head to help him feel better.

They sit there for a while longer letting the room grow emptier by the minute as everyone leaves for breakfast. Once they were the last two Norman slowly pulled away. "We got to join the others now... or mom might become suspicious." Norman told him.

Sammy nodded whipping his face clean with the back of his hand. "Your r-right." He spoke with a bit of fear but a lot of sadness in his voice

He and Norman quickly made there beds nice and nearly then got on there plain white uniform, heading down the stairs. As they entered the dinning room everyone was already setting up the tables with plates, bowls, cups and silverware. "You help the others, sam. I'll go help Joey finish breakfast." Sammy nodded and went over to one table to help them.

Norman went inside the kitchen where Joey was working on some eggs and watching over the pancakes that was in the pan. He looked behind him once he herd the door closed and looked relieved. "Oh. Finally. You can help me with these eggs." He said in annoyance, handing Norman the eggs.

About 15 minutes later most of the children was feeding there faces and talking to there friends around them. Norman noticed Sammy didn't feel like talking and Joey on the other hand wasn't much for talking or
eating this morning. Even mom noticed.

"Joey my dear. I know your sad about Henry being adopted but remember he's happy now." She smiled a motherly smile at him that only made joeys blood boil in rage.

Though out the next few days Joey didn't talk to Sammy at all. He hated Sammy for what he's done to Henry. Joey hardly talk to Norman as well. The two only talked when their alone out in the woods, planning there escape. Pretty soon they had their plan set to bring everyone with them to escape. They had the supplies they all needed like food and rope. They had train the younger ones to climb run and jump and they knew it was time. Best thing about it was that Sammy never found out about all this.

Sammy was apparently woken up by a hand covering his mouth in the middle of the night. He woke up wide eyed by this and started thrashing around, trying to kick whoever it was off. "Sam. Calm down. It's me." A kind voice said and Sammy immediately calmed. Norman's face appeared in his line of vision and he removed his hands. "Sorry. I couldn't have you waking up mom now." He smiled an apologized smile.

Sammy nodded at him in forgiveness but then he wondered why he was up in the middle of the night. Sammy sat up in his bed and saw everyone of them had there day clothes on and a backpack filled with stuff. "What...what's going on..?" He looked at Norman.

"We're escaping Sammy. Tonight. Right now." Norman replied. " I even got your bag ready with you knowing." He smiled proudly at himself for outsmarting the spy.

Sammy looked at everyone face to face. Little Susie, jack, Wally and the rest of them. "Norman..it's impossible to escape here..." He glanced back over at Norman. "The demon will catch each and everyone of y'all...they will torture them before they kill them, while you and Joey would be dragged back here." Sammy said with tears in his eyes. "Dont make this mistake..."

Norman frown at his best friend. "Sammy. It's to late to stop our plan. Joeys doing his part right now!" He explained to him.

"Wait. What was the plan?!" Sammy asked confused.

Before Norman could explain anything
to him, Alison slammed opened the the bedroom door. " it's time!" She yelled. "She's fighting the fire!"

"Let's go!" Joey called out behind her. All the children made there way out of the room to follow Joey out. Norman looked at Sammy one last time. "Sammy. Please. Come with us..."

Sammy had a good thing coming with this deal with mom. He didn't want to ruin it by being stupid now. Not with his 12th birthday is this close. Sammy shook his head no as he took a step back from Norman. "N-no. I'm s-sorry. I -I can't..." Sammy sobbed especially with Norman looking disappointed at him.

Norman sighed sadly then he raised up his chin with a finger and kisses him for a moment,before parting. "I'll come back for you Sammy. I promise." With that he left into the smoky filled hallway.

He soon found himself standing outside the orphanage, watching it be engulfed in flames. Mom was standing next to him after she tried to put them out and failed to do so. Sammy was the only child that stayed but she knew there was no recovering from this. Her children had escape and she would most likely be killed once Sammy turns 12.

Mom looked down at him and felt sorry for him. She had been him turn on his friends for years, telling her everything. She knew how This children felt. She was once in the same position as he was and turn to the dark side to live.

Mom gave him a blanket she had saved from the fire so he wouldn't freeze and die before his birthday. Sammy gladly took it and wrapped it around himself. Together they watched their home burned down by Joey. Sammy was secretly happy they had escape and mom was to.
———-
Since the orphanage was gone, the demons told Isabella bring Sammy in that morning. Together they walked down the path to the gate in silence for a while. As they grew nearer Sammy turned to mom. "Hey mom. Do you ..really love us?"

Mom smiled down at him and nodded. "believe it Sammy. I do love all my children. That's why I tried to make it as happy as I could for you all."

Sammy couldn't help but smile. He gave mom a big hug before they entered the tunnel. "Alright Sammy. Right here." Mom instructed him to do then went into some doors.

Sammy leaned on the brick wall and wonders how the others are doing. We're they far away? Have they been captured? Or have they succeeding? We're they dead? Sammy didn't know. He hoped for the best for them.

Another door opened after a few minutes and mom popped her head out. "Sammy." She called.

Sammy walked over to her and entered the bright lit room. After a moment he saw a creature he only herd off. The one. How he knew that was beyond him, nonetheless he knew. The one was the ruler of all demons. He was the one everyone obeyed. Sammy bowed down to the one in respect.

The one observed him for a good long time. Then the demon reached over to the boy with his cold none human limbs, stroking his cheek. "Ah the boy is already such a loyal servant." It spoke, making chills run down Sammys spine. "You did an amazing job Isabella."

Mom Bowed to the demon and smiled wickedly "Thank you, the one. I have always provided what is needed."

He excuse Isabella out of the room only for her to be killed by her failure of keeping the children. The one and Sammy left for his Layer. Sammy stood by the ones side no matter what. He watched other humans get punished for doing something wrong, he watched other children get experiment on and he watched new girls being trained to be moms.

He sometimes hears about Norman and Joeys group. Once they killed a few demons he herd. They also save other children from other farms before they get killed. The one is extremely angry with them because they are a problem in this System. Sammy never lets it show but he's extremely happy there still out there and he still holds on to Norman's promise.
