Allison was 7 years old when she was adopted. She was sleeping in bed in the room she shared with another kid. Sister Julia had opened the door, waking the little girls up from their dreams.
"Sister, why are you here?" Allison asked, leaning on her elbow, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"You're being adopted today." Sister Julia said. Allison glanced at the neon numbers on her clock.
"But its 2:34 in the morning, I'm tired," Allison complained.
"Just go pack your stuff, please," Sister Julia said wearily. Allison threw the blankets off her and stood. Her blonde hair curled around her shoulders to her shoulder blades. Her eyes flashed a brilliant blue. Allison stretched and began to look for her suitcase. She packed her few articles of clothing, her toothbrush, and her teddy bear. The she put on a white dress with a pale yellow ribbon tied around the waist.
Down stairs a couple was sitting on the soft loveseat couch, the man had short, dark brown hair, and brilliant green eyes. The woman had long, light brown hair and blue eyes. They both were in their twenties but looked extremely distressed and tired.
"These are the nice people that are going to adopt you, aren't you happy?" Sister Julia said, her eyes drooping a bit. "Get to know them, I'll get the papers."
"Hello, my name is Hannah," The woman said, waving at the young girl. Allison silently waved back.
"My name is John," The man said. Allison nodded in understanding.
"Are you tired?" Allison asked, sitting on the couch across from them.
"Why do you ask?" John said cheerfully.
"Because you have dark rings under your arms." She said, tracing under her eyes on her own face.
"Yes, we're tired, but it's nice meeting you so it's worth it." Hannah said, smiling at the young girl.
Sister Julia came bustling into the room with papers in hand. "Sign here and here please," She said pleasantly, showing the couple the papers.
Hannah and John signed the papers and took Allison with them to a car. When they got in Allison nodded off in the back seat. When she woke up, they were in the country-side. She saw cows, grass, cows, grass, and more cows. The bright daylight made her wake up and she remembered what happened at night.
Allison thought for a moment. "Where are we?"
"We're going into New Jersey," Hannah said, looking back at the girl.
"Oh… Okay…" Allison dozed off. When she woke up she was in a city, it was relatively clean and had a number of people walking around, pushing baby carriages or pulling their children to continue walking and not to stop to look at the butterflies fluttering around the small flower beds.
They stopped at a green house, where they got out and Allison took a small tin box out from her bag. In it were a few toys, a plastic ring, and a silver key. She dug a hole with her bare hands in the dirt and put the box in. Her new guardians looked at her in wonder.
"It's okay," She said, wiping her hands on her dress.
