Lost and Found
Melody followed April closely as they roamed through the enormous orphanage. She listened as April told her about each room they visited. Melody had never seen such things. Things like a kitchen or living room.
"Those are the basic places in the orphanage." April finished as they came to a stop on the porch.
"It sure is big….." Melody quietly said. "I'm not used to….." She trailed off. Instantly, her eyes widened with pure amazement. A thick blanket of white covered the large front lawn. More scraps drifted from the cloudy sky.
"What….What is all this white stuff?" Melody asked, lifting a hand. A small piece landed on her palm. It was cold.
"It's snow." April answered. "You've never seen snow?" Melody paused, squeezing Bunny-san her arms.
"I've never seen a lot of things." she said, gazing deeply at the sky. "That's why I'm broken." After a moment of silence, April grabbed Melody's hands and dragged her out into the snow. Melody gasped as April let go, making her fall into the whiteness.
Melody looked up at her, surprised and speechless. April just laughed.
"Your face is all red!" she said, helping Melody up. "Let's build a snowman!"
"A….snowman?" Melody echoed, brushing the snow off her and Bunny-san. "What is…."
"You'll see when we're finished!"
A few hours later……
Melody and April stepped back to gaze at their work. The so called snowman was complete. Melody had never seen such a thing. A carrot for nose…Sticks for arms…It was so odd. But right now, Melody herself didn't understand why she was so happy. She took April's cold hands.
"Thank you, April."
"You're welcome, Melody." The snow had lightened as the sky turned from cloudy, to a mixture of red, yellow, and grey. A bell sounded.
"What was that?" Melody asked.
"Its time to go to dinner." April said. "I wonder why no one else came out to play……Oh well. Let's go." The two friends left their masterpiece and headed back inside. Melody stopped, taking one last glance out into the beautiful snowy world. But yet at the same time, she knew she still needed to be fixed. Melody looked back and blinked. April was gone.
"A-april?" she said, looking all around. "April? Where are you?" Melody began to worry. The orphanage was so big……. It was dinner time. Melody had to find the dining room again. She started roaming from one room to another, trying to find the dining room and her missing friend. Melody let out a tired sigh. It felt like she was going in circles.
Hugging Bunny-san close, she moved on. Suddenly, two boys walked out of a room. They had wide smirks on their faces as they looked down at her.
Melody winced, but gathered her courage. "Um…..Can you please show me the dining room?" The two boys looked at each other, as if they were laughing about something.
"You must be the new girl." one said. "Of course we'll show you. Just follow us." Something was untrustworthy about his voice, but Melody followed them anyway. They led here to another door. She tilted her head in confusion. This didn't seem right.
"Are you sure this is-" Melody gasped in shock as one boy opened the door, while the other shoved her harshly inside. She heard the door shut as she tumbled to the floor. Melody heard a CLUNK! They had locked the door. Melody clutched Bunny-san and looked at the door, astonished. What cruel and mean boys!
Melody wiped a tear away and turned to see another boy. His hair was white like snow and he wore a pair of white pajamas and socks. He was crouched in the center of the room, stacking a tower of dice. Melody looked around him. The room's floor was covered with plastic robots, action figures, puzzles, and other toys. He didn't seem to have noticed her, for he was completely focused on his dice structure.
Melody gazed at it with interest. It was a pretty impressive dice tower, since it was the size of his entire body. Not wanting to bother him, Melody stood, but stepped on a spiky robot. She let out a yelp of pain, and the boy looked up at her. She shuddered as his dark grey eyes stared at her.
"I…I'm sorry…" she apologized, bowing deeply. "I didn't mean to disturb you…..I very sorry.."
"It's okay." the boy said, twirling his hair with his finger. His expression was blank and though his tone was gentle, he sounded somewhat cold. Melody took a small step back, hugging Bunny-san closer.
"I-it's very nice." she complimented. "Your dice tower. It's very nice…" The boy continued to eye her closely.
"Thank you." he said, placing another dice on the structure. Melody gazed at him, and suddenly she felt more comfortable. Was he broken as well? Just like her and Bunny-san? Maybe……
"I am Melody." Melody said. "What is you name?"
The boy paused and gaze at her once more.
"My name is Near."
