Chapter 1

The veins of lightning flew down with a blinding light. Rain played its own symphony on the earth. Wind howled, making the tree branches dance back and forth. Three little kids were just watching it like it was the most fascinating show on the planet that was playing before them. Some kids would call them crazy or maybe even brave to just watch the huge storm but what they didn't understand was that, like the storm outside, there was one in those three children's minds. Though there weren't any kids to say that since all the kids in the orphanage were all gone. Daisy, the woman who ran the place, tried so hard to find them a family, to actually see a real smile on their faces.

"When are we eating?" Asked a red head with a smile sealed on his lips. The other two just turned to him, as he just interrupted their show.

"Not until another hour, but I'll go -" the blue head started until interrupted by the golden haired child.

"Can't you just wait? Geez, you guys are so stupid, I'm outta here." The boy left just like that, not even looking back. The two just stared at him as he was soon gone from their very sight.

"Here, I'll go with you to Daisy so we can have a small snack how about that?" The blue head smiled resting his hand on the other boy's shoulder. He just looked dumbfounded as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"No, it's okay, I was only joking." The red head walked off in a different direction from the other boy.

"It's okay, I'm alittle hungry myself. Come on!" the boy's words echoed in the giant room but was absorbed and ignored or unheard to the saddened boy. 'Well, I guess it's just me.' He thought as he raced up the steps.

"Oh, I'm hungry, please keep feeding me. I need to eat every second so that I can get FAT!!!!" the golden haired boy kicked the ground angrily. He wasn't going to anywhere particular, just anywhere away from the other two. "Why can't you just GROW UP!?!" He slammed his tight fist into the wooden wall of the hall. Intense eyes stared down at the tiny dent making the dent feel insecure under the glare. After a moment of silence he continued on his way as if nothing happened.

He heard the racing steps up the stairs shaking his head, insulting them further in his mind. He disrespected them, insulted them and even slap them and yet, he wanted to just be like them.

The slamming of a door brought him back out of his thoughts. 'Who's here at this hour?' he thought as he jogged to where he heard it. No one was supposed to arrive not that they knew of but Daisy would tell them everything so there was something wrong.

"Who's there!?!?!" shouted the red head as he whipped around. "Come on guys, I admit you have me, now come out!" No one came out of the shadows like he hoped they would. He heard the slamming of the door which sent shivers up his spine and made the hairs on the back of his neck rise. No one was suppose to be here so who's here?

"Okay Roy, get a grip. Just go and get Daisy and see what's going on. Yes, that's a good idea. I'll go the long way since everyone hardly takes it." the boy nodded his head after talking to himself. He set off running with silent feet. No one could hear his footsteps, like a silent ghost in a haunted mansion. Hoping he wouldn't run into anyone.

"What was that?" the blue head whipped around, almost falling down the long fleet of stairs. "Well good thing I'm going to Daisy anyways, I'll just ask her." He calmly said as he calmed his shaking body from the slamming door and almost falling down the stairs. His voice was even and calm unlike his mind. Panic raced through his blood, he was jumpy and having a bad feeling about every choice he made.

"It's probably just the plumber guy that always come over." He said remembering the man. He always hinted that he and Daisy had a thing for each other but he was a timid man that usually called before coming over. "Wait but he mostly- always calls before coming over so it can't be him. Can it? And what purpose does he have to come over here all of a sudden? It's not her birthday or any important date or anything." He could feel the horrifying thoughts enter his mind as his wild imagination came loose trying to figure out who it was. "Okay it is the plumber guy." He finally said sternly to himself but knowing he really didn't believe it.

The lights flickered above him and soon went completely dark. The only thing that was lighting up the room was the flashing lightning. Creaks were heard on the stairs, he wasn't alone. He panicked, he couldn't tell if they where below or in front of him which made it hard to run away from them. Soon the steps quickened like his heart beat. He saw dark pale arms reach out to him.

"AAHHHHH!!!" he screamed as his first reaction was to get away from them but before he knew what he was doing he began to back step down the stairs. Faster and faster trying to turn around until he lost his footing and fell down the stairs, he could hear his own scream echo in his head as the right angles of the stairs jabbed at his body.

"WAITT!!!" the stranger yelled. He knew that voice but couldn't stop himself from falling as he felt himself getting more and more tired each step that hit him.

"What was that?" The boy jumped where he was listening to the scream. He could feel himself become paralyzed. "I have to hurry, wait no I can't- I can't do this!" He fell to the ground crying. "WHAT AM I DOING?" soon his hand met his cheek hard. 'I have to do this, something bad happened and I need to tell Daisy' he rubbed his tears away and stared walking again. He knew he was shaking and quivering inside but as soon as he got to Daisy the better. It was like in all the horror movies, they are scared out of their minds yet, they still go as if they're drawn to it. The house became silent after the boom of thunder, some one was talking. They were near too. He spotted the room and quietly placed his ear on the wall listening in.

"Please you have to go, you'll get in trouble if you don't." It was the plumber guy after all but something was wrong. His voice, it was always quiet and timid but it was different. He was shaking you could tell by his voice, he was scared of something. The intruding boy relaxed but not all the way.

"I can't leave the children! You have to understand their pain and how I can't just leave them now." Daisy's voice was shaking almost as much as his. "You don't know how much pain they've gone through."

"We'll take them with us, PLEASE just come!"

"They'll track us down even faster. It's no use." The boy felt good inside. He knew what he was doing was wrong but having the feeling of someone fighting to be with them felt so good. He didn't know about the others but he knew that they all hated the feeling of loneliness as much as he did.

"If you don't you'll DIE!!!!" Another boom of thunder shook the house. He could feel a surge of anger well inside of him and took it out on the wall. The conversation ended with a question that he didn't want.

"Who was that?" He heard bodies move around probably heading toward the door. 'Oh snap!' the boy ran hoping he wouldn't get caught. He turned a corner and hid in the shadows.

"Over here!" the plumber yelled at the boy's direction. He took off again. He didn't care if his steps were loud or not. His breathing was heavy as it grasped for air. He was about to go into a room when the door opened forward toward him.

"AGH!!" He shouted as he was thrown back by the door. He saw one figure over him and then two more and felt blood pool from his forehead. 'Ah I'm busted' he thought as he felt himself slip into the darkness.

Okay hi guys, i'm going to change the story slightly.
