Before
Two children in the alleyway. No one saw them, and they didn't care. They didn't want people feeling sorry for them, they didn't want attention. However, it was not to be...
The building shook and the girl awoke. She was in a crawlspace of an abandoned building. Her brother lay asleep beside her, covered by a discarded jacket. It shook again, harder this time. She leaned over and pulled the jacket off of him. "Let's go."
This had been happening for awhile now. They would move from building to building as each one was torn down. They wouldn't leave that complex however. They had lived there as long as they could remember.
It would come to an end eventually. The complex would be gone, demolished to make room for new condos, and they would have to venture out into what was the unknown to find a new place to live. But not for at least a few more weeks they hoped.
In the next building over, they watched the giant machinery destroy the area that they had been in not 5 minutes ago. The boy shifted and said "We should go and get something to eat... I'm hungry."
She silently agreed, and they started to walk out of the building and the complex.

Outside, in the streets, it was a flurry of activity. Vendors everywhere they looked, yelling about their goods. All kinds of people walking, or running, all around them. No matter how many times she went down the street, she was always amazed by all the people, and all the different stores and vendors. As they walked, she stared about as she always did. On the other hand, her brother seemed on the whole very disinterested in the whole street environment. He walked along side her, looking very bored, scanning the shops and and vendors for possibilities. He saw a vendor selling different kinds of fruit, and started to walk towards it, dragging his sister along. Upon reaching the stand, he selected two apples and two oranges and paid the man there. Casting a suspicious eye over the two young siblings, he gave them the fruit and watched them walk away, further down the street.
She didn't like how he stole money, without any sense of guilt. But she didn't complain, because that was mostly how they stayed alive. He would have just stolen the food as well, but she insisted that they try and pay for it. She didn't ask how he got the money, but she knew.
As they walked down the street, eating their breakfast, a man stopped them.
"Hello." They said nothing and tried to move around him, but he stopped them again.
"I've seen you two come here everyday, without any sign of an adult. Where do you live? How do you pay for your food?"
The boy mumbled something about their parents giving them money, but all three of them knew that it was a lie. "I see... I think that you'll have to come with me." the man said, trying to grab them, but they dodged his grasp and ran.
20 minuntes later, they arrived back at the complex. "We were lucky to lose him in the crowd this time, bhut from now on, be very careful, okay?" asked the boy. "I understand..." she laid down on her back, staring at the ceiling... wondering... who were they? Where did they come from?
