All of my memories keep you near.

In silent moments imagine you here.

All of my memories keep you near.

Your silent whispers, silent tears

-Within Temptation

A young girl sighed as she walked into the orphanage. She was there because her father had sent her there. He had said something about having a mission for her. She didn't understand because she was only seven, but he said in time she would understand. The young girl's pigtails were beginning to get annoying so she quickly removed them, she was wearing a dress which she hated but she would have to cope. The dress clung to her frail form. It was black and white and kind of looked like a maid's dress in a way; it went in perfect contrast with her hair and eyes.

When she turned a corner she heard screaming."He is not better than me!"A boy's voice yelled. The young girl peaked around the corner and saw a blond boy yelling at a red headed boy. The red head was playing a video game, ignoring the blonde's outburst. In the corner another boy with white hair, was putting together a puzzle. The red headed boy seemed to be the oldest, and had a candy cigarette hanging out the corner of his mouth. The blond one seemed to be the middle child; he was waving a chocolate bar in the air, as he used his arms for emphasis. The white haired boy was in his pajamas, and was frequently looking over at the other two, with uninterested eyes.

The girl smiled as she walked from around the corner. The blonde looked up at her and ran over to her."Hi!"He smiled. His smile held a slight hint of mischievousness, even though he was still young. She could tell he would cause her trouble. He probably even broke a few hearts already. The young girl returned his smile nervously."Hi."She smiled again, this time innocently. She looked to see if the others were paying attention, but they weren't they continued with their tasks as if she wasn't there.

The boy looked her up and down before holding out his hand."I'm Mello."He smirked slightly as she took his hand."I'm Shane."She looked at him warily. There was a slightly dark aura around him even though he was young."So how old are you, like six?"Mello said, sizing her up. Shane huffed angrily."I'm seven."She said before crossing her arms. She hated when people assumed she was so young, she had inherited her mother's figure, very small and fragile.

"Well you're so small you look like your five but I said six because you seem smart."He smirked as he copied her movements."Really now? I thought you were a girl but then I heard your voice and decided you might not be a girl after all, but I may still be wrong. You could just be a manly girl "She smirked at how angry he was at her comment. Mello let a growl rip from his throat before pouncing on her. Shane let out a yelp in surprise.

Mello tackled Shane to the ground. Shane let out a loud shriek as she hit the floor, with Mello on top of her. The boy sitting on the couch looked up from his game boy. He watched Mello and the younger girl rolling around on the floor. The red head sighed as he set his game down and walked over to the blond boy and brunette girl. He pulled Mello off of the girl."Matt!"Mello screamed as he was pulled off of the girl.

Shane glared at Mello and if looks could kill, everyone in a ten mile radius would be dead. The older boy, Shane presumed to be Matt walked over to her. He crouched down and patted her head."Hey calm down babe. Mello's just got a temper that's all."He said flashing her smile. Shane smiled back at him as he helped her up, a small blush spreading over her cheeks.

"I'm Matt."He smiled as he took her hand, helping her up."Shane."The young girl giggled slightly at his smile."You must be new here."Matt smiled as she nodded. Shane glanced over at Mello and saw that he was chewing on a chocolate bar. He seemed a lot calmer now that he had his chocolate. Mello walked over to her and offered another smile.

"I guess I'm umm...sorry..."He said in a very low voice. Shane nodded at his words."Well come on you have to meet Roger!"Matt yelled as he grabbed Mello and Shane's hand before running down the hall. Shane smiled as she was being pulled down the hall. Had she had just made her first friends?
