Meeting the Dawn

-

Aries and Joel walked towards the orphanage slowly. Aries looked up at Joel with wide eyes, asking him silently what was happening.

"Everything will be alright," Joel smiled down at her; he took her hand and walked a little faster. "I won't let anything happen to you..."

~*~3 years later~*~

"Let me go!!" Aries blinked, and looked up at Joel.

"Must be a new kid," he said, smiling. "He mustn't want to come."

"Who said it was a boy?" Aries asked, glaring at him slightly before smiling. "And don't you dare say that nothing bad ever happens to girls."

"What can I say," he stood up. "Nothing bad ever happens to girls." Aries rolled her eyes, and punched his arm lightly.

"Come on," she started out of the room. "Let's go meet the new kid..."

When they left the room, they were surprised to see a girl their age, trying to get out of the hands of an old man.

"Let go of me!" she managed to kick his knee, and ran across the room, trying to get to the room that Aries and Joel were just in; Joel grabbed her by her arm, and held her in place. "Let. Me. Go!"

"No," Joel said firmly. "You're here for a reason, so you'll stay."

"Thank you my boy," the old man said; he took the young girl, and pushed her into a chair. Joel and Aries gave each other a look, and sat down on the couch that was oppisite.

"What are you doing here?" Aries asked.

"Gettin' out of here, that's what," the girl snapped, not looking at them. She had dark, chestnut brown hair that was lighter at the tips (which shone a red-gold in light) which went to about the small of her back, and was tied back with a dirty piece of string. She had dirt smeared across the bridge of her nose, and what could be seen of her skin didn't fare any better.

She was wearing a dirty, baggy, dark red turtle neck and dirty, slightly fadded, black flared jeans that was held up with a black belt. The belt was the most clean thing she had on her, and even that wasn't that clean.

"And how do you expect to excape this place?" the old man hissed, glaring at her.

"How do you think I got out of the other places?" the girl glared right back at him.

"Mr. Hiwitari?" a women said, entering the room; Aries and Joel recognised her as Ms. Feblali. "I have the papers that you have to sign to have Ms. Green to stay here."

"And she'd better stay here," Mr. Hiwitari barked at Ms Feblali. "She's been picking around my garbage for too long!"

"Cause its only too easy," Aries looked at the girl, who must of been Ms. Green.

"Aries? Joel?" Ms. Feblali looked at them. "Would you two please take Ms. Green to the room where she will be staying and then show her around? I have to ask Mr. Hiwitari some questions."

"Yes Ms. Feblali," they both chorused. Ms. Green stood up, and followed them silently.

When they entered the room which they had been in before, Aries plopped down on her bed and Joel sat down on one of the other girl's beds.

"You'll be having that bed over there," Aries pointed to a bed across from her. "Or that one," she pointed to the farthest one away, nearest to the window.

"That one," Ms. Green said, looking at the far one. "Easier to get out of here."

"Why would you want to leave Ms. Green?" Joel asked, looking at her. "Why not just stay here?"

"Because it's so fun to annoy Voltaire," she said; she sat down besides Aries. "And please, don't call me Ms. Green; makes me sound so old."

"Then what sould we call you?" Aries asked, with a slight smile.

"Well," ms. Green looked her in the eye; her eyes appeared to be half green, half grey with some brown near her pupil. "Right now, you have met the begining of every day, in the middle of the day," she gave Joel an uncaring glance. "So naturally, you can call me Dawn."
