Disclaimer: I own nothing... boo-hoo
I'm trying to keep with the whole "type a little everyday" concept, and so far it's working. i don't have to worry about how much time i have, and weather or not I can sit down and write a nice, long chapter at one. And that is another thing I'm trying to do: write longer chapters. So wish me luck, and this just might work out.
The morning following the incident, Dodge and Alyss woke to the subtle light of sunrise. The final traces of tears on Alyss' cheeks had rubbed off during the night, and the only thing left to mark it as real was the disdainfull glance Alyss would receive from Bibwtit at the breakfast table. But that has yet to actually happen. For now, she was awake, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, and trying not to wake Dodge up.
Her attemps were unsuccessful, for he then encircled her in his arms and pulled her towards her. She kissed him lightly, and he groaned.
"What?" Alyss was alarmed by the pained expression on his face.
He said wistfully," I wish we could stay this way... but sadly, we have to visit the Wonderland orphanage today..." He pulled her closer and kissed her again.
But she pulled back. "We have an orphanage?" The way she spoke the word orphanage showed that she did not like that peice of knowledge, in fact, maybe even hated it. Her mind way reeling: Are there really enough unwanted kids in Wonderland for the need of an orphanage? But how coud that be... I understand that not everybody here is the most friendly, but I would think that there would be atleast enough people to take kids in that there would be no need for an orphange...
Her face was distorted, and Dodge had no idea how to comfort her, or why she was that way. Then he remembered: She had spent a few years in an orphanage when she was in London. She didn't mention it often, but her face made it clear that she did not like the idea.
"Um...", Dodge didn't know haw to explain. " It... was just opened... Only for now, until there can be homes and families arranged to take them in... they are being treated perfectly fine... The orphanages-" Byt alyss cut him off.
"There should be no reason, and if there aren't only homes currently, then we will make sure that they are being treated the best they can be, until homes can be found. And they will have homes." She rose out of bed and marched into the dressing room, making it clear that the day's chores would be the highest thing on her list, and above everything else, visiting the orphanage.
So it's not as long as I was hoping, but I now have a gerneral direction i can go in for awhile. I would really, very much Love it if you could review. Thanks for reading, and i should update soon! If there is anything you want to happen, just put it as a review, and I'll see if I can try to include it! :-)
