An Kingdom of 'Albingoria' belong to me and Grandma Folklore but Like Ms Maulum" Ryan and Michel are Three of my new Oc" I made"
Chapter 2 new friends" and the first Night"
After being locked into their "new room" they turned to the other two kids who now we're sitting down on their bed staring at them.
"Uh...hi I am James and these are my sisters Sofia and Amber." James said as he gestures to both Amber and Sofia.
"I am Michael." The boy on the left side said,
"Ryan." The boy on the right replied.
After that there was an awkward silence, until Ryan got up and said, "I see that she got to you too, here." He reached from under his bed where a hidden cooler was kept as he tossed Amber an ice pack.
"Thank you." Amber sighing in relief the ice helped numb the bruise on her face.
"So are you staying for the summer too?" Sofia was curious, only to have both Ryan and Michael look at each other and laugh, which confused the royals.
"Just staying for the summer, yeah that's a good one, as if we have lived here our whole lives." Michael said with a bitter look in his eyes.
"You mean that woman is your...?" James wanted to say but couldn't for the fear of it being true.
"If you mean that she is our mother, then yes and our father is no longer alive, thanks to her." Ryan said bluntly.
All three kids went pale upon hearing that, but then a shaken Sofia said "Do you mean she...?" The two boys nodded.
"Oh gods we need to get out of here!" Amber panicked as she tried to open the one window in the room only to find that it had been nailed shut.
Michael shakes his head, "Don't bother, after we tried the same thing, she nailed it shut, and if you try to break it, you will be sorry you ever did."
"What do you mean?" Sofia asked
as James tries to stop Amber from actually breaking the window.
Both Ryan and Michael said nothing as they turned around unsnapping their overalls to their waist and then baring their backs to them.
They all gasped in horror as they saw the multiple scars covering their whole back and down under their overalls, after a few minutes they redressed and then turned to them.
"Just obey her orders, no matter how impossible they might be." Ryan said as Michael nodded and added "And eat whatever she puts in front of you, if you don't you will regret it."
"But we can't stay here, there must be something we can do?" James said with desperation.
Michael shook his head. "Afraid not, you are stuck here for the next 8 weeks, just keep your head down and mouth shut and you will be fine."
Just as Michael said that the sounds of the door being unlocked was heard and the two boys along with Sofia, Amber and James were standing to attention at the end of the two beds.
When the door bursts open, Ms. Malum comes in and gives them all a cold stare before she zeros her sights on Ryan's bed when she spotted the ice pack that was left there by Amber. "Stealing from the storage again are we?" She said in her most condescending tone.
Ryan shook his head, "No Ma'am." The moment those words left his mouth he was slapped hard and grabbed by his overall scrapes, and dragged out of the room, no pleading or begging as the door slammed shut behind them, locked again once more.
Michael just sat down with a glum look on his face as the other three were stunned by what they just witnessed.
Amber twirls around to look at Michael as if he was crazy. "You expect me to keep my cool around that beastly woman, I think not!"
"If you value your hind, you will." Michael said firmly, before Amber could protest further, James cut in.
"So what can we do for fun around here?"
Michael looked at the other boy as if he lost his mind and said "Kid, the word fun doesn't exist here, unless it's named Ms. Malum and if she caught you having any type of fun or joy in anything she will make sure you think twice."
"Who are you calling 'Kid' ? You are the same age as me." James said, which earned a dry chuckle for the boy, before asking, "How old do you guys think I am?"
"Umm...13?" Sofia guessed which had Michael let out a bark of laughter before he said "I am 16 years old, and Ryan is about 15 year old."
They were stunned, but Amber was quick to say, "But that's impossible, you don't look a day over 12!"
Michael gestures to his whole body and explains.
"This is what happens when you aren't fed properly for years, before then we are treated pretty much like any other children, but when we were about 5 and 6 years old when our father "disappeared" and our mother would sometimes punish us by starving us for days or weeks at a time, only giving us enough to stay alive, but not much, and we were taught how to read and write but it came at a cost, if we fail at all we were punished severely and we were only allow a cold shower or bath once a month, since she believed that we weren't worth wasting hot water on and if we complained in anyway about it all being unfair you paid dearly."
"This woman has to be stopped, but first we need to get out of this house." Sofia said with a determined look in her eyes.
"How? This place is locked and nailed shut, unless we have magic or the power to transform we are basically sitting ducks for the next 8 weeks!" James blurted with worry.
Sofia's eyes sparked with an idea, but she would have to wait for the right moment as she and the rest froze when they heard the sounds of footsteps coming closer to the door.
When the door was one unlock, a pale-faced Ryan was shoved into the room by his mother, while the door was quickly locked.
Michael runs over to his brother and carefully pulls away the overalls and shirt to reveal welt-like bruises littering the boy's skinny back, bottom and thighs.
Gathering the boy into his arms he carefully lays him face down on the bed and grabs the still hidden cooler and takes a bunch of ice packs, putting them on the bruise, ignoring the hiss and groans of pain that turned into a sigh of relief, before falling asleep.
Covering Ryan with a light ratty sheet, Michael turned to the others and said "You guys have my bed, I am going to sit with Ry."
"But we can help, we take shifts throughout the night." Amber said.
"Yeah, you get some sleep, we will wake you in a few hours, I will take the first shift." James said as he took Michael's place beside the sleep teen.
When he saw that there was only one bed, he offered to sleep on the floor, but Sofia and Amber both refused and said "You just get some sleep, we will share the bed when it's our turn to sleep, now shoo." Sofia said gently while the older boy nodded reluctantly, before laying down on his side to look at his younger brother, before succumbing to blissful sleep.
Sofia, James and Amber all Looked at each other with determination in their eyes, silently vowing to help rescue their new friends and make sure that justice was served as well"
