Chapter 2
KT's POV
"Hi, I'm Willow," Willow said in her usual voice. I just waved and smiled.
"And I'm KT," I introduced myself. The room filled with hi's and hello's.
"Good, let me show you around. You will be in a newly installed room," someone who I learned was named Trudy, our housemother, said. Willow and I followed her around the house, first, she introduced us to the students who were already here. They had already taken seats in the common room. Trudy pointed out all of the ten kids, Nina, Patricia, Amber, Joy, Mara, Fabian, Eddie, Alfie, Jerome, and Mick.
We were shown the kitchen, dining room, laundry room, and she pointed out the boys' rooms. Then, she took us upstairs, and into a room. It had two beds, wardrobes, and desks. Trudy showed us where the bathroom was, and left us to unpack.
"KT, you don't think that this will be too hard for us, do you?" Willow asked in an unsure voice. She was sitting on her bed, with no traces of her perky smile that she was so good at faking. Her suitcases and bags were left to the side, untouched. It had taken a lot of effort to convince her to come here. I hoped the least she would do was unpack.
"Willow, it's our first mission, and if it's our last, well, we'll just have to see." I continued unpacking, throwing my stuff into my wardrobe. When most kids or teens start school three weeks late into the school year, they worry about not making friends, or other social issues. But not Willow and I. Nope. Our biggest issue, was staying alive.
After we unpacked, we took out our necklaces. They're silver, and have a pink, stone heart set into the pendant. The heart is basically a button, so I pushed it, and a needle popped out from the tip. We poked our fingers, and opened the pendant, which was also a locket. We dripped some of our blood into it, and waited for the blood to evaporate. It wasn't painful, we had been going through the same ritual every night for a while now.
