This day started normal enough but the ending was a dreaded one. It was a normal Saturday morning. Well as normal as it can be.
I woke in the morning rolling over so I could squint at the clock on the wall to see what time it was. When the sleepiness finally seeped out of my eyes I read the clock on the wall which told me it was eight thirty in the morning. I was extremely tired because I wasn't yet used to the whole getting up early part. I noticed that the door was open a bit and that Antonio was still sleeping but from what I could tell Ludwig was gone.
Quickly and quietly I made my way to the girl's hallway only bumping into Elizabeta on the way to Camilla's room Elizabeta was one of the oldest at the orphanage being almost eighteen. But she just smiled at me and let me go on my way to Camilla's room. When I got there she was asleep on her bed and Arthur was sitting on the edge of it reading a frayed book that he always carried around.
I poked her in the shoulder and she moved a bit but stayed asleep. I poked her again and again until she finally opened her eyes looking at me in a 'What-in-the-world-do-you-need' look.
"It's Saturday," I said and she brightened up immediately and brushing off a bit of sleepiness she sat up Arthur noticed and looked up from his book.
"Good to see you're awake." He said and turned back to his book, even though he sounded a bit irritated I could tell he was happy to see that she was up. She sat up rubbing her eyes looking at us.
"Why are you both in my room?" she asked as she stood up Arthur got up as well as we walked out of the room. We were out of the room before I answered.
"I wanted to see if you were awake yet." I said as we started our decent down the steps she nodded then turned her attention to Arthur who was trying to hide his slightly pink face behind his book.
"And you?" she said giving a pointed look in Arthur's direction. But he was spared from answering when Bella came rushing around the corner.
"Could you please set out the plates I'm running a bit late this morning!" she said a bit rushed but she was off before we could answer. So we walked into the dining room and found a stack of plates, forks and Glasses. We started to spate them and put a few at each spot we finished in fifteen minutes and just in time as people were starting to trickle in.
Bella rushed in a bit after most people were there with a large tray of nice hot pancakes. My mouth watered at the sight of them. She handed them out as the chatter became so loud that it took her three times to get our attention.
"Excuse me!...Thank you, now there is some important news I need to share with you. You see, I'm going to be moving to a different orphanage and that orphanage caretaker is going to come here." She said and paused as shocked whispers filled the room following her statement.
"I know that you're mad but the new caretaker will be just as good if not better then me!" Her happy statement was met with complete silence.
"So you have one day to say your goodbyes because after eight tonight I will be gone." She said and stepped down from the podium, walking out of the room. For a few seconds there was silence then like somebody had planned it everybody started talking.
"What! No she can't leave what if the new Caretaker is really mean!" Camilla said mad and frustrated as tears gathered in her eyes. Arthur immediately responded to the treat of tears.
"What if the new caretaker is really nice?" he said calmly looking at her she calmed down a bit sniffling as she held in her tears.
"I don't have to like it either but that doesn't mean that this won't all work out, and if she is mean…well then we'll have to rebel." He said and she gave a quick tear filled giggle. I smiled but confliction fought in me, one part of me was sad she was going another was glad she was going.
"You know. We should do something nice for her before she leaves." Camilla said after swallowing a mouthful of pancake.
"That's a great idea!" A joyous voice said from behind us. I jumped a bit at the shock of a person joining into the conversation, turning around I was met with the happy face of Elizabeta.
"We'll all organize something for her as a going away party! I heard her saying earlier that she has to fill out paperwork around two in the afternoon and she'll be gone an hour! All we have to do is get the decorations and were home free!" she said seeming that she gave some serious thought to this. She then quickly rushed over to the door and closed it peaking out the small window then she rushed up to the podium.
"Hello! Hey! I'm talking here!" She said picking up the nearest thing next to her which was a frying pan and held it up threatinly. Finally the talking drifted off (under the threat of a beating) as she waited for silence.
"Ok I have a plan! Were going to give Bella a going away party! Got it!" There were several nods and confused looks. "All we need to do is get the decorations, which means we need money. Whatever money you're willing to spare would be greatly appreciated, then we need to separate into groups so we can sneak out and buy them and also we need to bake a cake and everything so we have a lot to do. After lunch we meet in the playroom." She said as she walked off the podium and back to her seat just in time to Bella walked in a hung up phone in her hand. She then disappeared into her office as people started to trickle out. I followed Camilla and Arthur up the steps and to the playroom.
"What do you think of this, Feliciano?" Camilla asked as she braided a younger girl's long hair as she sat in her lap her eyes happy and wandering. Camilla's eyes focused on the task but her mind was wandering.
"I think it's a great idea!" I said joyously but I couldn't help but internally say 'I hope I never see her again.' She nodded thoughtfully as she skillfully wrapped a pony tail around the end of it and sent her on her way only to be replaced by a new one.
"I suppose it could work…" I heard Arthur mumble still reading his book, he had angled just enough so I could see the cover of the very large book.
'William Shakespeare's Complete Works.' He must be a good reader to be reading that I thought but before I could ask him anything Elizabeta walked in still carrying the frying pan.
"Here's the plan…" She said and started to list off the groups and what they would be doing. Me, Camilla, and Arthur would be on cake duty we could either make a cake or buy one. We decided on making one (by we I mean Camilla) which meant we couldn't mess up because we only had an hour. But Camilla seemed very pleased by this. The rest of the day was in weird 'we-know-something-you-don't' atmosphere. I think Bella could tell we were up to something but not enough to confront us.
Just like Elizabeta said Bella left at two to fill out paperwork leaving the older children in charge. As soon as she was down the street the preparations started and chaos was everywhere.
"Let's see…no, no, no, no, to chocolaty, n-ooo perfect!" Camilla said as she flipped through a cook book that she had in her hands as me and Arthur just sat on the stools waiting for her to find the one that she wanted.
"Perfect! Look it's a Red velvet cake!" She said showing us the page.
"Are you sure we had everything?" Arthur asked looking at the instructions.
"No, but I don't think all of the people going to the store have left I'll got ask them." She said hurrying out of the kitchen looking at the instructions I would be a close call getting it done in time if we had to wait for ingredients. Camilla ran back inside smiling brightly.
"Just barley caught them! Lets get the exact measurements of the ingredients out so we don't west time measuring them out." She said and made sure that we measured each ingredient right before setting it out on the workspace. We had just finished measuring them all out when an older girl came in with a package of groceries Camilla thanked her before she walked off.
"Time to get cooking!" She said excitement clear. We mixed and stirred the batter until it was blood red then poured it into a circular cake tin. And waited for it to bake as we set out frosting and the decorations.
Camilla continuously checked the cake so that she didn't accidently burn it. She decided it was okay about a minute before the timer went off and to make it cool faster she put it in the oven we only had fifteen minutes left and we still had to cut it in half and spread frosting between the halves and then write her name on the top. Thankfully it cooled quickly and we were able to get it done with only minutes to spare. We quickly added a candle even though it wasn't her birthday and brought it out to the dining hall.
"That looks amazing guys!" Elizabeta said as she shot us a quick smile and proceeded to help out some kids with balloons. We set the cake down on the table; it was certainly different in their not super fancy or anything.
On the walls hung streamers of every color and some balloons that had been blown up and had a string tied on them were floating around the room. But most of all was amazing was how fast we had set this up and how there was few liters of pop that we had bought and glasses so everybody could have at lease one glass of pop (which we never had money for).
"She's coming!" screamed a little girl with long braids flinging about.
"Places everybody!" Elizabeta with a positivly giddy expression on her face that mirrored many of those in the room including mine. We all hid and turned off the lights as we heard the click that symbolized the door opening and the clicking of heels against the wood heading towards the dinning room. There was an uncertain pause before she entered and as soon as she turned on the lights we jumped out from everywhere.
"Surprise!" We shouted with many giggles at her positively beaming face.
"Thank you!" she said hugging some of the smaller children next to her. Then she saw the cake and the pop and smiled.
"Come on guys you can have some with me." We only each got a very small chunk of cake but it was worth it.
"It isn't burnt at all." Arthur said to Camilla who had told him she might have accidently burnt it a bit. And as I took my first bite I had to agree with him. Soon we were all done and the pop was all gone Bella announced it was time to leave. There were many sad goodbyes and some tearful ones from the younger children as she walked out the door with her luggage to a waiting taxi. We all waved goodbye as the car pulled away.
But as soon she was out of sight a new car pulled up. A very pretty lady with a thin body and face and dark chocolate hair stepped out. And walked up to the house to the crowd of kids. With a mean scowl she said the dreaded words.
"Hello children you will call me Mrs. Kensal. I am your new…Guardian." She said the last part with a slight amusement to it. I suddenly had a very, very bad feeling.
