The owner of the orphanage, Mrs Anne walks around the dimly lit dining hall.
With a stern look on her face. Everyone, who is eating their breakfast, steals glances at her as she passes by their tables.
Some of them fidgets in their seats, clearly uncomfortable under her gaze.
As Mrs Anne make her way through the tables, she stops in front of Aurelia.
Aurelia clears her throat loudly to get Mrs Anne's attention.
Mrs Anne turns to her, raising an eyebrow in silent question.
Aurelia takes a deep breath before speaking up.
Aurelia (FL)
Mrs Anne, do you know when my friend, Jake, is coming back from your office? * she asked, concerned.*
Aurelia (FL)
He had been gone to your office and never came back.
Mrs Anne's expression darken as she looks at Aurelia. She leans in closer to her, her voice dripping with menace
Mrs Anne (orphanage owner)
You know better than to ask questions like that, Aurelia. Jake left this orphanage of his own free will. Do not speak of him again. *she commanded, her eyes flashing with anger.*
Aurelia shrink back in her seat, clearly intimated by her harsh words.
Mrs Anne straighten up and continues on her patrol of the dinning hall, leaving Aurelia feeling helpless and worried about her missing friend, Jake.
The others at the table exchange worried glances knowing Jake's disappearance was a subject that is not to be mentioned in the presence of Mrs Anne.
As the rest of the meal passes in uneasy silence, Aurelia couldn't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong here in the orphanage.
