Chapter One

Melody strolled quietly through the long, wide corridor, following Roger's clear instructions.

"Go up the stairs and make a left." he had told her. "You'll reach the West Wing, in other words the girl's side. Your room will be the sixteenth door on your right."

Melody counted as the large doors passed her. One…Two…Three…Four…Five…and so on until she reached sixteen. She hesitated for a moment before slowly opening the door and stepping inside. The room was fairly decent. It was lit by two lamps and sunlight that streamed through the window. The carpet had a zigzag pattern and a bookshelf, along with a dresser, was placed next to the bathroom.

There were two bed. One was up against the wall, while the other was placed beside the window. Melody had never seen such a room. Never…..She was used to other rooms. Rooms where light was blocked away. Rooms where beds don't exist, just old blankets lay down on the floor. Rooms where carpets are replaced by hard cold concrete.

Not sure on which bed was hers, Melody bent down on her knees and took off her Hello Kitty backpack. She unzipped it, taking out a stuffed bunny. One of its button eyes hung off its face. Its left ear was torn and a bit of stuffing was coming out of its belly. Despite its awful condition, she gave it a loving hug. It was still soft. So very soft……

"I'm sorry….." she whispered. "You are just like me…..Broken." Melody looked up as the door opened once more. She turned to see a girl. She wore a pair of brown shorts and a yellow t-shirt. Her black curly hair lay flatly on her shoulders.

She tilted her head. "You must be the new girl that Roger told me about." she said. "I'm April. It's a pleasure to meet you." Melody smiled slightly and gave her a small friendly nod.

"The shy type, huh?" April giggled, joining her on the floor. "Don't worry. Wammys House is a nice place. Sure some of the children aren't that friendly……But we have a lot of fun here and-" She stopped as she spotted Melody's bunny. Melody followed her gaze and tightened her grip.

"Oh…What happened to Bunny-san?" April asked, stroking the bunny's torn ear.

"People were mean to him….." Melody answered, her expression blank. Melody shifted uncomfortably. She wasn't used to talking to people. The two girls looked up as the door opened again. It was Roger.

"How are we?" Roger said. "Are you two getting along?" April simply nodded, then Roger left.

"Your bed is over there." April said, pointing to the bed near the window. Melody stood and sat on the bed's edge. Her blue eyes widened.

"So this is what a bed feels like…." she gasped, bouncing up and down. "It very nice."

April laughed. "I sure is. I think we're going to be good friends, Melody." Melody's eyes lit up as she stared at the girl across from her. She never had a friend……Melody instantly shot up and embraced April in a hug, tears of joy rushing down her face. She was finally free, but it she knew it would take a while for her to heal. After all, she was badly damaged. April hugged back.

"I felt the same way." she said. "It feels good to actually have a place where you belong." April pulled away. "Come on, I'll show you around." Melody sniffled and nodded. The two new friends walked out into the large hallway their hands together.

Aww……I think it's a nice way to start off the story! Please review.
