Chapter 2, a Warm Welcome?
They walked to the orphanage in silence. This made Martha feel rather uncomfortable for some weird reason. She was always quiet with someone else and felt nothing. She decided to start a conversation.
"So, Jack." She said, looking down to the blond. His eyes were glued to the ground. "How old are you?" He said nothing. Silence filled them once again. "Are you around 10 years old?" She asked suddenly after a few minutes of silence. He slowly shook his head, looking unsure. "11 years old?" Again, he shook his head. "Nine?" He then nod, slowly looking up to see where they were.
Silence filled them again. But Jack's head was looking up, so she took that chance to examine his face again but more clearly. Blond hair, spiky hair, violet eyes, his face was still wet from his crying, but what she had notice was that he was wearing a necklace. Not some sparkly, diamond necklace. A simple one made out of thin piece of rope and had a silver ring on it. If you look closely, there was something carved on it but Martha couldn't see it because of the distance between her eyes and the ring. Thinking it was not the right thing to do, she didn't ask to have a closer look. After a couple more minutes, they finally reached the orphanage. She held the umbrella between the side of her chest and upper arm as she pulled out the keys to unlock the door. Before anything happens, there was a loud BANG out of nowhere inside the orphanage. They both flinched at the sudden disturbance. Martha (hardly) pushed the key in the lock, twisting it as fast as she can, and slam the door open. Jack, surprisingly, was interested in what was going on.
"What in the name of…? Yusei! Where are you?" Martha shouted as she saw broken glass on the hard wood floor.
Jack had a blank expression after he saw the broken vase. His eyes glued at the glass sharp tips.
Stop! D-don't come any closer!
His head started pounding. That voice was a voice from a woman. She sound so familiar to him but he couldn't think of whom. One of his hands slowly came up to this head.
Stay away! I'm not letting you take him!
His other hand came up. Martha looked down at the boy. She saw his hands at his head.
"Jack? Are you alright?" she said bending down to his level.
No! Get back!
There was this incredibly painful pain in his head but he doesn't know what it was. Who was talking? Why was she yelling to someone to not get near her? Who was she trying to protect? Soon memories flowed inside his head. The pain increased and he soon fainted.
"Jack!" Martha reached to the much younger child when he collapsed onto the floor.
"Sorry for being late, Mar-"Yusei stopped at the bottom of the stairs staring at Martha holding a passed out kid.
Martha looked up, face from worried to shock. "Yusei! What have you done to yourself? I only let you at home in charge for ½ an hour and this is what happened?"
Yusei had pink fuzz on his left arm, toilet paper all over his right, his hair was from crab to drab (messy looking), he got tooth paste all over his shirt, and his pants were covered with soup from dinner. He gave out a nervous laugh and was about to explain but was cut off.
"Tell me later. I'm in no mood to hear it now, Yusei." Martha said as she picked Jack up. "Now… Open the door to the medical room."
Yusei did what he was told to do. "Martha? Who's that?" he asked as she placed him on the bed.
"Oh! I almost forgot to say. This child has his parents murdered."
Yusei was no in shock. M-Murdered? He shivered from the thought. Then he looked to where Jack was. His face seems calm but his hands were in a fist. "W-what's his name?" Yusei asked, still shivering from his thought.
"Jack… I don't know his last name but that's okay." Martha replied. "He was in the rain. All wet and soggy, sitting under a tree. I guess his parents just got murdered 'cause he was crying."
"Oh…" Yusei stared at Jack. Jack… What a familiar name… "Jack…"
Silence filled, both staring at the new comer. Martha chose that moment asked.
"Yusei… Explain me this…" she pointed at his clothing.
Again, he gave a nervous laugh and started explaining. Little did they know, Jack just woke up.
