CHAPTER 1

A little boy lays on the cold damp floor of his parents house. Tears roll down his eyes to his clothes which were already soaked with the blood of his recently deceased parents, as a shadowy figure emerges before him.

“I’m so sorry for what happened, Little Kay.”

Kay stands up and slowly moves backwards, as he begins to stutter. “ T- They were your F- Friends, why?”

“The reason I killed them is because your mother and father found a really important Something on the moon, and they refused to tell me where they hid it. I’ve searched everywhere for it, but you couldn’t have known where it is... Could you.”

The figure pulls out a gun from his jacket and points it at Kay.

“Where is it? Do not be like your parents. I know you know where it is.”

Suddenly, the sound of sirens begins to wail from outside the house.

“Oh shoot!”. The figure puts the gun back in his jacket and runs away. Kay drops to the floor, Just as the figure leaves his sights.”

As the figure opens the back door. He is met by a man in a black suit, pointing a gun at him. “We’ve finally caught you... Jack Daripa.”. Then he cuffs Jack.

Then a bunch of police officers rush in through the back door and into all the rooms. The man in black walks up to Kay and squats to Kay’s level. “Sorry Kid.”

Kay hugs the man as he begins to cry rigorously. “They didn’t do anything, why do they have to be killed. Is earth really just a bad place.”

The man hugs Kay back. “No it’s not. It just has some bad people. What about your relatives? Do you have any?”

“No”

FOUR YEARS LATER

“Kay!, Kay! Wake up.”

Kay opens his dull black eyes, a giant heap of eye bags cover half of his lower face, as he looks at the person who was waking him up. “What? What do you want? What was your reason for waking me up this early in the morning?”

“It’s already six-thirty.”

Kay’s eyes suddenly become riddled with life as he arises swiftly from the floor mat, he was laying on and runs out of the tiny condemned room he was sleeping in.

He arrives in the kitchen sees a girl doing dishes and stands beside her. “Morning Anna.”

“You missed breakfast.”

“You don’t have to tell me that”. He grabs a sponge and starts doing the dishes.

“So what happened this time? What were you doing last night?”

“I was just thinking of ways we could escape.”

Anna drops the plate she was washing. “Not again.”

Kay does the same and grabs Anna’s shoulders. His eyes shining brighter than a star. “No, this time it’s going to work. We just have to get adopted.”

Anna slaps Kay’s hands from her shoulders and continues doing the dishes. “It’s an adoption plan this time. So how do you plan on doing that?”

“We just have to sneak into his room, steal his phone and, then we___”

“Call the police and tell them to come get us? You know what happened to us the last time we did that.”

“Wait this time it’s different___”

Anna stops washing and slaps Kay. “Nothing is different this time, we’ve tried and tried, to no avail. This orphanage is abandoned. No one is coming to adopt us, why can’t you just accept the fate that this world thrust upon us!?”

Kay rubs his cheeks and then he proceeds to punch Anna on the face. “Do you really think I am going to let you or Manny or me, get sold off to some lowlife like that! I will never give up, even if I have to keep reusing old plans that didn’t work!! I will keep using them till they work!!!

Then a plump man enters the kitchen. “Kanye!”

“Gary, it’s Kay. My name is Em Kay”

“Does it really matter, you are all the same anyway. Today’s your lucky day Kevin, someone has actually come to adopt you.”

“What!? I didn’t think it was going to be this soon.”

“That’s not possible. Don’t you dare lie. This orphanage has been closed for a long time!”. Anna said.

“Believe it or not kid, but I have no reason to lie to you.”

Mr Gary leaves the kitchen and so does Kay, but not before giving a thumbs up to Anna.

Anna falls to the floor as tears roll down her eyes. “Why did I give up so easily.”

“Sounds fishy doesn’t It”. Manny says as he walks over to Anna.

“Who knows.”

“You shouldn’t have stopped me.”

“Well, I don’t like it when my friends fight.”

“He doesn’t deserve to be your friend.”

As they converse, a mysterious figure lurks behind them.

Meanwhile, Kay opens the front door and to his surprise, Jack, along with two men in black suit, stand before him.

“I really missed you, Little Kay.”

Kay falls to the floor in shock --- his face paler than a corpse’s. “How did you find me?”

“You called out to me, and here I am.”

“No I didn’t.”

“Yes you did. That little message you sent to the police was intercepted. You made our work ten times easier.”

Then Jack points a gun at Kay’s chest and...Tranquilizes him. Kay collapses and one of the men in suit, carries him out of the building.

“So since you have him now, what about my reward?”. Mr Gary says as he slowly rubs his palms against each other.

Jack pulls out a gun from his jacket. “No one must know about this. Especially not a weed like you”. He shoots a hole through Gary’s skull and walks away.

Anna and Manny stare in horror, at the corpse of the man who was once their abuser.

Anna screams, but Manny seals her mouth on time, with his hands.

“Hey”. A voice from behind the duo calls out to them and they both slowly turn around and... scream in unison, at the sight of the big orange woman who was behind them.
