Closing the door gently, I looked up to see the soft chatter had died down and the sound made was the one by the closing door. giving I nervous grin I stared at the 9 faces that seemed to search my eyes for something other freedom. "Sup 10" I looked over at Zenra, her lazy eyes holding a glint a of something I didn't wish to find out. "H-hi" I stuttered out as she patted a seat next to her on the bench. " I set a bow for you, believe it or not, the food is pretty good. Of course thanks to 2" she grinned, only referring to people by their number names. Taking a seat I looked at the soup placed in front of me.

"We mainly eat vegetables, if anything we'll sneak the bones from her dinners and use them to make stock, but besides that vegetarians!" Mei said cheerfully as she smiled at me. I looked around the table, there's ten of us in total and all have a short-medium length hair. What does she do with all the hair? I went to grab a piece of hair but was was only met with air. I miss it already. "So have you met everyone yet" I glanced up as I took a bite of hot soup, I didn't realize how late it had gotten. Wasn't it noon? Nodding my head no I watched as Mei pointed at a girl with light skin and a afro, her tight curls sitting on her head like a cloud. "That's 5" i furrowed my brows, "don't you have a real name?" I questioned as she shot me a confused stare. "Real ñame?" "Yeah, a real ñame" i stuck my arms out to further my point. "Master gave me my name with the best intentions and so I go by that name only" her voice determined, green eyes boring holes into mine, as if I was saying something I shouldn't.

"Moving on" mei spoke, her voice interrupting the awkward silence. She pointed next to 5, Zenra poking at her soup distastefully. "This is 8, or Zenra, she doesn't like vegetables all that much… but. She is greatful to have food. Right Zenra?" she chided as she took a big bite of decent soup. "Yeah whatever." she continued to nibble at the soup. "That's Baide 7, the little lady next to her is Suki 9, of course the lovely lady next her is her mother Cait 6. And im assuming you know already know isabel 3 and Danski 4. And theres also one more person you havent met, Grannie, who of course is 1. And that's it, the lucky 10, you obviously being 10." i looked around the room Zenras' red hair, Baides' hair shining a deep ebony, her blue eyes shy to me. Sukis' hair is weird, being a dark graysih teal while her dull brown eyes seem to match her mothers. Caits' hair is different though, her hair is a deep and vibrant blue, blue-r ran the sea. Isabels hair looks almost orange from the fire, but its true whiteness seems to shine through, like a heavy snow. While Danskis' hair almost reminds of spring, like freshly grown in grass, what a shame it isnt pointy, i could really have some fun calling him grass head. Grannys' hair is covered but i bet at one point it was an odd color like the rest of us, though her eyes are quite pretty. They seem to be a dark blue, aged by time.

I listened as they talked about their days, nothing really of great importance just of who said what, and their chores. It's pretty boring, I just want to go home, and if I can't do that i'd at least like to wake up from this twisted dream. I want to fight and roll in the mud with some of the local homeless kids. Heh I let out a low chuckle as a saying popped into my head just because you want it doesn't mean you need it Moms' words floated through my head. Maybe she was right, maybe this might be a good thing. I hope.

Crash

"Don't you dare talk about Master like that!" I jumped as a voice screeched, causing the barn to go quiet. I stared as the wooden plate spun in a circle, the low ringing causing the room to stare at it in awkward anticipation. Switching my gaze up, I looked at the person who deciced to break the playful banter. 5 stood in all her glory, glaring at Danski who stood up to try and intmidate her. "What the hell is your problem?" he gritted out as he stared at her in anger "Did you not see what she did to the last 10? How can you stand there and def-" isabel stood up interrupting him by grabbing her cloth napkin and quickly shoving it into his mouth. She turned, now looking over at me with concerned eyes. "Sorry, this happens a lot, so you might as well get used to it" she spoke softly and with a tinge of regret.

I only nodded my head in reply, for some reason i dont find myself as talkative as i used to be. I listened as a scraping sound lightly tapped at my ears, glancing down i noticed the empty bowl and sighed. Lifting my head up i noticed half the people had dissapeared from the table; Now it's only Zenra, Isabel, Dan, Cait, and I. "where do i put my bowl?" i spoke quietly, their heads all darted towards me. "Oh, uhm just put it in that bucket over there. Its Isabels' night for dishes." Dan spoke as he turned back to the group he was talking. Putting the bucket in the bin, i walked into my stall. It's too dark for me to really see anything. Getting on my knees i crawled on the floor, feeling around for my old clothes. Finding them i laid them down on the hay, sitting down i untied my shoes and threw them to the side. Taking my two sashes, basically wraps, and laid them on top of me.

It's hard to sleep in a place that doesn't feel like home.

I looked up, the ceiling open, rain suddenly started to pelt down on me, basically drowing me. In a panic i swished myself around, the barn filling up like a fishbowl. "Isabel! Dan!" i screamed horrified as i suddenly spewed out over the top, falling down a seemingly endless water fall. I screamed yet again as i suddenly saw the ground coming up at me. But before i could hit it, the grounf went black and i was catapulted into a black hole. Im sitting in a chair now, my long hair back and hands tied to the side. "Hello?!" i yelled confused as i panted, still feeling soaked from the flood. "Tell me you love me" i felt two hands grab my face and pull me backwards, swiftly i squeezed my eyes shut. "Open your eyes, im here" my eyes jerked open, "mom?" i spoke breathlessly as i looked into two dark eyes as long brown hair flitted around my face. "Say Aye" her face suddenly morphered into masters. A wide chesire grin clawing at the sides of her wrinkled face. Her mouth opened wide, pointed teeth wrenched down as her jaw extended, eating my bdy whole.

"Heuh!" i sat up straight and heaved in air as I suddenly awoke.. "Fuck" i mumbled as i rubbed my apperently teary eyes. Giving a sniffle I dropped back down. "Ugh" i rubbed my face and curled into the robe. I can still smell mom on it. Grabbing the robe I buried my face into it. My face beginning to burn as tear yet again fell down, I miss her so much. Silent tears fell down my face burning into my face and staining the smells with saltiness. Curiously I opened my eyes, pulling. The sash up to eyes I covered them, then slowly pulled it down just so I could get a quick glance of the world above. The moonlight lit the room, reVealing that the ceiling was normal and not punched in like it had been in my dream.

Glaring at the ceiling, I clenched my fists, life isn't supposed to be like this. So why is mine? I folded my arms and heaved a sigh, aren't things supposed, weren't they? I feel like my face is going to scar from the tears, and snot keeps slipping out of my nose. " I'm tired of crying" I breathed out, not wanting to wake anybody up. Ok, stop crying. The tears continued to fall; why won't they listen? I calmed my breathing down, and slowly yet surely the tears stopped and a heavy drowsiness took over my small body. Lulling me into a much calmer and pleasant sleep.
