Whispers In the Shadows: The Orphanage Chronicles
Announcement
Droplets are heard as they cut through the snores and grumbling of many orphans' stomachs as they wait for morning...
MC
*wakes up and starts to hear around the cell as her eyes adjust to the light*
Group of kids
*they snore loudly with a few mumbles*
*footsteps came by, and a staff member came by and dropped off water bottles and sandwiches*
Beatrice
*leaves the tray for the orphans and left quietly*
MC
*watched the woman go by and wake up the orphans quietly* Food and water arrived.
Group of kids
*one but grumbled and took his share as many others did*
MC
*takes her share and only eats a quarter of the sandwich, saving it for later*
*I bite sooner the time turned 6am and the bird's started chirping and most of the orphans are awake*
*footsteps came near the cell and unlocked the door*
Lily
Rise and shine, sweeties
Lily
Go take a bath and get dressed - breakfast is being prepared. *turns high heel and left*
Group of kids
*they looked at each other and left the cell with MC*
*as the orphans come to the mansions center, they see how fancy the place is. The mansion is built with marble, gold, and fancy lighting with a fountain in the middle near the entrance*
Group of kids
*they gasped in aw*
*tons of footsteps were heard rushing down the marble stairs, and we see 20 more orphans of different ages*
*All the orphans from upstairs rushed to the showers and took a shower before getting dressed and heading to breakfast*
Group of kids
*they followed along but weirded out by the idea of sharing 1 bathroom and 1 shower with a bunch of people*
Max
Hurry up, people! The food will get cold! *claps his hands mockingly*
MC
*hurried to the filled bathroom but the lined was hold up*
*MC hears someone behind her*
Cater
Hey, move it, we don't have all day!
* The orphans rushed more, and MC and the other orphan were able to quickly take a bath and get dressed*
*by the time MC makes it to the kitchen all the breakfast was taken*
*many kids begged and the staff (a few of them) gave out extra food*
Cater
*appears behind MC* F**k I missed it.
Cater
*looks down at MC* Missed it too?
MC
*didn't process what happened*
Cater
Tch *didn't wait for MC to answer and dragged MC out of sight and handed her a red strange berry* Eat this if you're on the verge of starving, they will help you. Eat two at a time each hour. It will help you last till dinner time.
MC
Dinner? There's no lunch?
Cater
Lunch doesn't exist here in this orphanage, only breakfast and dinner. Lunch is replaced by those activities...
MC
Activities? *raised eyebrow*
Cater
You'll see...*leaves MC*
MC
Strange... even if he wanted to poison me, why risk it in daylight?
Mr.Driver
All orphans go to the auditorium for your daily activity...*signs off the intercom*
* Many orphans rushed on different from different directions, but all the new kids and some kids who been there long enough headed to the auditorium*
*MC arrived and nearly all the seats are taken*
Summer
*sees MC* Hey! Over here, I got a seat! *she waves at MC* *she smiled*
MC
*sits beside Summer* Excuse me, who are you? *says in a low whisper*
Summer
*whispers back* I'm Summer, I'm second year of this orphanage. Wanna be friends?
MC
...*thinks about it* Sure... [what am I to lose?]
Lily
*snaps her fingers at MC and Summer to be quiet*
Summer
*noticed and stut up*
*in the auditorium Mr. Driver explains the 'rich' history of the orphanage and why it's deemed highly among other orphanages.*
