Ch. 2 The Orphanage
"Children!" shouted a rather large woman, dressed like a nun. The woman had an angry look upon her wrinkly dry skin. The children of the orphanage then gathered in a small white room with one large black sofa. "I have some news for all of you brats…but first I must explain something…" the woman started to explain. The woman was the nanny of the orphanage, but wasn't such a nice person as the word "nanny" usually describes. This woman was a harsh, large woman who was very loud and intimidating to the children. She was more of a general than a nanny. The woman licked her chapped lips then continued her important news. "When you little brats are being called, COME RUNNING AS SOON AS YOU HEAR MY VOICE!" the woman yelled to the young children. The woman then cleared her throat and continued. "You will be having a new sister…Nikki." The woman then put her arm around Nikki, nudging Nikki into the crowd of the sad looking children. "All of you little brats get along and clean up the floors." The woman then said.
The woman then walked away and all the children's eyes were now upon the face of their new sister. Nikki looked at the faces of the children. 'It looks more like a funeral home than an orphanage…' she thought to herself. It was then that one of the children approached her. "Hey, Nikki." The child began saying. "I'm Tommy, welcome to the orphanage." The child then said. "Hi Tommy, nice to meet you…" Nikki replied with depressed look on her face. Tommy was taller than the rest of the kids and was a bit chubbier. "I'm the oldest one here at this orphanage, besides Mikey, but believe me you won't want to be talking to Mikey." explained the nine year old. "Why not?" "He thinks of himself as the big cheese, like our boss. He is the strongest of us." Tommy started to explain. "Oh; really?" Nikki said with a grin on her face. Nikki was in a foul mood by then and didn't want to hear about any tough guy or girl, now that she misses her mom and dad. A huge kid then came pushing all the children apart. "We have a new little sister huh?" he then asked. "Where is the bitch?" "Shh… don't say anything." Tommy then told Nikki covering her mouth with his hand. "Come on Mikey, do you have to treat everybody so badly?" question Tommy with a concerned look on his face. Mikey then waddled his way over to Tommy, pushing him on the ground. "Oh, so you're the new girl huh?" said Mikey with a grin. "Yeah, what about it?" snapped Nikki. "Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I'm the boss of this place." "Really? You don't look so tough to me." "Oh really? You little moron, come closer and say that to my face!" yelled Mikey with his hand clenched in a ball. Nikki then walked over and slapped Mikey right across the face. "Happy now…bitch?" Nikki said wisely walking away from the red faced brat. Mikey then charged at Nikki, but Nikki was ready. Mikey charged full speed as Nikki ducked and tripped the chubby kid. Mikey then went flying over the sofa and landed right on his crimson face on the cold, hard, dusty hardwood floor. "Well, the floor cleaning is all done, fat Mikey wiped it all with his face!" yelled Nikki.
The nun looking woman then came marching into the room. "What is all that noise?" questioned the woman at the top of her throat. The woman then surveyed the room as a vulture surveying the desert. The quick evil looking eyes behind squared spectacles then spotted Mikey on the floor. "What happened here?" asked the woman, looking a little shocked. Mikey then slowly got up running to the woman saying "The mean new girl hurt me!" "Oh, did she now?" asked the woman. "She is going to have to be punished for hurting my poor little Mikey, won't she?" the woman scowled, obviously favoring Mikey among the other children. "Nikki, you come with me." said the woman curling her pointer finger. Nikki then took the walk of shame towards the woman and both of them then left the room and entered a room with two large doors.
"How dare you." started the woman. "HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY ORPHANAGE AND HURT ONE OF MY BELOVED CHILDREN OF THE HOUSE?" screamed the woman. "I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!" the woman said pushing Nikki into a small dark room the size of a closet. The woman then shut the door and opened a gray latch at the top of the door. "You'll spend the next week in here!" said the woman shutting the latch. Nikki then was in complete darkness.
