Chapter3{CHILDREN OF THE ORPHANAGE}

Taki :sister what is an orphanage?

Sora:its a place where kids with no parents or relatives are sent taken care of!

Taki:so like me?but why am i not with them?

Sora:oh because every kid has a tour and is taken care of for an entire day by one of the staff in the nurturing division

Taki:SO won’t i see you again?

Sora:no no no! You will but much less

Looking at her she really reminded me of elder sister rosaline breeze

Rosaline was a galion girl who was transported to get married but she got involved vith the war and got enslaved by the aquanians

She was the only one even if she was in crippling condition herself she would go all out of her way to encourage us to not give up

She was not selfish and distracted with her own problems like the others were

She always used to sing us lullabies to help us sleep after a hard day even if she didn’t get any herself

But one day

I was trying to serve food to the nobles but i slipped across the floor and almost fell

Even if i didn’t fall the food did the nobles started screaming

And the wardens rapped a rope around my neck and hung me up on one of the hooks in the torcher chamber

And lashed me across the face with a hot whip across my face the second time she

Lashed elder sister rosaline stopped the warden and started arguing with the warden that i did nothing wrong and it was a accident while i just hung there helplessly

The warden got fed up and lashed her to the point of death while i hung there and stared in fright and aww of what was happening before my eyes

TEars rolled down my face and realised that there was no hope left for us now and everything she said about hope was bullshit

Sore:Hey taki you’ve been looking and down not been hearing me is something on your mind? You can share if you want?

Taki:No its just that I’ve been thinking that you look like someone i know

Sore:Is that soo?

Taki:she was a really nice person

Sora:nice person eh?whats her name!?

Taki:her name was rosaline breeze

Sora:wait…?ROSA i haven’t seen her in ages!Where is she?

Taki:She unfortunately is no longer with us anymore………

I could see her eyes swell up with tears as she tried to hold a smile

Sora:WHat….went…wrong?

Taki:she tried to save me and

Sora :you don’t have to finish it if you want to i understand

Sora:well if my best friend kept you safe than ill have to too!

Taki:best friend?you know sister rosaline

sora:yeah she was my childhood and only friend i had

Sora:when i heard she was getting married i felt happy but also jealous at the same time funny huh?

Taki:So who is sister rosa——

Sora: were here this is the orphanage

The orphanage was quite big but i didn’t see many kids there this confused me alot

Taki:sister where are all the kids my age

Sora:oh them they are probably outside

We went to the headmasters office to visit

As we walked in I felt a sort of trauma and discomfort flooding in

Since we left the slavery house ive been scared of girls because most of the people there who punished us were girls

As i sat on the chair in the room looking across the table shivers ran down my spine

I sat still and didn’t move

Sora:Taki!Takiiiii!?are you there?

Taki:oh sorry

Sora:i want you to introduce yourself to the headmaster

Taki:hello honourable headmaster my name is taki im 8years old and was a slave at W CORP

Headmaster salice windstone:so your the boy who got sent in recently .hello little one nice to have you here

Sora:sayvery told me to see the new children brought in recently

Headmaster salice windstone:oh is that soo lets go see them

The headmaster and sister sora were walking what looked like a garden i followed sister by her side holding her hand

Headmaster salice windstone:so this is the yard where they play

Headmaster salice windstone:levi,zakrow,hironi i want you to meet somebody

The three kids left what they were doing came in front of the headmaster and bowed

Headmaster salice windstone:say hello to miss cadet sora yuki from the nursing division

The three kids:hello miss yuki its an honer to be in you presence

Sora:its an honour to meet you to may you introduce yourselves

The tall boy with black loose hair and one green and black eye is levi galestring

The boy with long auburn hair and sharp green eyes is called zakrow sorewind

The girl with silky grayish brown hair with one green and the other yellow eye is hironi storm

I waved to them with a smile

Levi smiled back

zakrow looked at me with disgust sharpening his already sharpened eyes

Hironi waved and smiled back to me

I looked at sister and saw something was wrong she looked like she was holding a smile and most of the conversation she stayed silent and looked kinda sad

After she was talking i tugged on her shirt

Taki:why do you keep doing this its hurting you

Sora:so you noticed huh…..

Taki:why do this?

Sora:why?its quite simple actually if they see me a strong cadet struggling and crying how would they have confidence in their self is someone strong as me crys what makes them think they could do

Taki:still you should takes some rest and a day off

Taki:ill stay here and wait for you here i wanna talk to the others too

Sora:thankyou taki never would have thought i would be taking advice from a child

Sora:how did you even learn this stuff the proper etiquette

Taki:sister sora taught us all hiding from the warden

Sora :and consoling others

Taki:i just watched sister rosaline console the others and i learned

Sora:Than rosaline did heck of a job

We both laughed it off

Taki :so can i go meet them properly now?

Sora:Ok you can go

Taki:bye!

Sora:bye!
