Chapter One
"Come on Miku, just do it. They never check the rooms," taunted Rin, in her, as usual, unbrushed hair and ratty robe. The way she reacted to a simple spider gave her no right to taunt her about sneaking around in the orphanage.
"No Rin, I'm not going to sneak around. Do you know what happens if they catch me? Something much worse than if you see a spider."
"Shut up! How do you know something bad will happen? No one has ever done this before."
"Now I feel a lot better, thanks." A child like her doesn't know how cruel the Doctors were. Even I don't know. All anyone knew was that the orphan children are part of a cruel experiment. We went to a special facility some day that we wouldn't know about until the time came. A Doctor was careless one day and slipped information in front of us. The younger ones won't know, they can't know. It's to terrifying. All the other children were playing kagome over in the play area. Rin, however, was feeling lucky today, and wanted me to stay behind when they went outside to uncover the mysteries of the orphanage.
"I'll do it with you." Luka! She was a fourteen year old girl, like me, from the village about half an hour away, right outside the woods that we were in.
"Luka! Thank you for coming, but it's to dangerous. I can't risk you too."
"Who's part of the experiment? You. Who is going to get in serious trouble if you're caught? You. You really don't think that I'd let you risk yourself would you?"
"No Luka."
"Miku, don't argue. You know you won't win." Right then, the loud footsteps of Doctor Meiko sounded, and he was coming towards the play room.
"Luka hide!" Luka hid behind the toy chest, that only had Len's teddy bear and big blankets to play what ever came to mind that day.
"Go to your rooms and get your stuff," like we have anything. It's just part of the program, I guess. "You have one hour outside." Everyone ran to their rooms but I stayed behind, pretending to clean up the unstraightened chairs. "You have one hour, Miku," Meiko said with a voice that obviously showed he didn't care wether we went outside or not. After the big steel door closed behind him, me and Luka got prepared to run to my room, which was only two doors down.
"Now!" I yelled, and we made it to my room, and I looked out my barred window to see if the kids made it outside. Only one was missing. Rin.
