She takes a deep breath and steps out of the train. The platform is almost completely empty. She and a janitor who's cleaning the station platform are the only ones that are there.
What a great place to work thinks Colette in irony, suddenly feeling even more lonely then she usually does. Kate had offered to come with her but she knew that this... This she needed to do by herself! If only my brother where here she thought wondering where he was.
When standing outside of the gates to the camp, a women in her middle fourties comes up to her. Her nametag identifies her as Martha.
- A-are you alright miss? she asks the ghostly pale Colette.
Realizing how she must be looking, she quickly tries too pull herself together, but to no avail.
- Um, yes, yes I am fine... Thank you.
- You knew someone who died here, didn't you? Martha ask with a concerned face.
Colette looks down as a tear goes down her cheek.
- My-my parents... they a... they died here.
- I am so sorry for your pain. said Martha, gently grabbing a hold of Colette's arm.
- Why have you come here?
- It's stupid really... I thought that if I came here I might remember something...
- Something? Martha asks.
- About my parents. But all it has brought me is pain.
Martha looks at Colette with a sad face.
- Would you like a cup of tea? Miss...? asks Martha in an attempt to help the sad young women.
- It's Colette, and yes that would be lovely. answers Colette giving Martha a soft smile in gratitude.
Pulling herself together, she follows Martha to a house that says "STAFF ONLY".
