Chapter 5: Hello, Goodbye, Now We All Die
Harry spins around and around with his special friend, Tom, playing 'Ring Around the Rosie.' It's Tom's attempt to keep his friend's mind off of the ghost children. Surprisingly, it's worked quite well. Harry hasn't tried to leave the room, so he hasn't been attacked by the others.
And naturally they have become irritated. With what magic Tom had access to he keeps Harry from hearing their cries and evil plots. They want to scare the boy out into their space, where Tom cannot go. They can hurt him outside of his room. Only his room is a safe haven. After all, even in life, no one could get into his room without dying… except his first friend, Harry.
And then there's the courtyard. No one goes out there… it's where Tom died.
"Hello…"
Tom looks up from his book at the quietly grinning orphans. "What do you want?" he asks with narrowed eyes.
"We want you to play with us," a little girl by the Amy Benson says, smiling with just a hint of cruelty.
"Yeah," Billy Stubbs interjects, "you should play with us." His smile seems cruel as well, probably thinking of how the boy in front of them hung his pet rabbit.
"So will you?" Eric Whalley and Dennis Bishop ask together, snickering in their minds about what all ten of them have planned. AN: that's the last of the Orphanage children mentioned… the rest will be made up.
Though he's still suspicious, Tom agrees. And as they dance around him, he hears:
"Kagome, Kagome
The bird in the cage, when, oh when will it come out
In the night of dawn, the crane and turtle slipped
Who is it in front of behind? (Actual translation)"
"Margie?"
"Wrong!" they shout, even though the boy told the truth. Margie Valle was behind him, but they didn't care. "Now you lose and arm or a leg, or you get your head bashed in!"
"What should be do?" Ana Johnson asks.
"Let's bash in his head!" And so they do.
And as he lays dying on the recess floor, he vows to get revenge on the children who played the game with him. If he only knew that those children would stick around to haunt him…
And who would have thought that their sole purpose was to hurt him, even in death. Now he's trapped, and if he plays his cards right, this time he can leave, and Harry will come with him.
