Chapter 3
"I might be able to do that," said Ari.
"How?" I asked.
"Let's go inside, we don't need anyone overhearing us," said Jessica. We all walked inside.
"I'm the fastest one in the group, if you could give me the name of the orphanage and the room number I could help pack your stuff," said Ari.
"This is ridiculous," sighed Greg.
"It might work," sighed Jessica.
"But the police will be looking for her," said Jessica.
"I can wear a wig," I said.
"I have a better idea," suggested Dave, "We put a wig on her, and we put on colored contacts so her eye color is different."
"My eyes were originally brown," I said. Alexis ran out then came back with green contact lenses and a black wig.
"What about her thirst?" asked Ari.
"She can't handle being around that many children," said Dave.
"That not true," said Greg, "when we first went hunting she killed one woman without hurting any nearby school children."
"I could go when they're all at school," I said. I went into the bathroom and put on the wig and contacts. Alexis helped me with some makeup.
"I need to make your cheek bones stand out," she said, "that way your face will be different."
Ari and I walked into the orphanage.
"Ready?" she asked.
"Ready," I said. We walked down the halls with long wooden floors and I smelled the familiar smell of cleanser. He walked up the stairs and went to my room. I opened the door; as usual my roommate (or old roommate) forgot to lock it.
"Ok, just grab what you need and quickly," said Ari. I grabbed my old clothes, some photos of me (but left one for my roommate), my mother's necklace, my father's slingshot, and my old teddy bear.
"I promised you I wouldn't forget you," I whispered to the bear. When I finished stuffing the things in my old backpack Air and I ran. We ran down the stairs and to the house. As we were outside I whispered, "By orphanage." I had just been adopted.
I came back to the house with Ari and took off the makeup, the wig, and the contacts.
Greg came walking down the stairs with a man. The man smiled at me.
"Hello," he said.
"Erik this is Channy," said Greg.
"Hi," I said.
"This is Channy?" Erik asked. His eyes went red.
"I told you she was a bit young," said Greg.
"I thought you meant around fifteen," said Erik.
"I am eleven," I said.
"Do you know what the Volturi will do?" asked Erik.
"Why am I illegal?" I asked.
"Because immortal children can not be taught to resist," said Erik.
"Resist?" I asked.
"Yes," he said, "Resist the temptations of blood."
"It has been said for years in history," said Greg, "one temper tantrum and a whole village would be wiped out because of an immortal baby."
"How could we let one into our home?" asked Erik. Alexis came by.
"Channy this is Alexis's husband Erik," said Greg.
"People in this clan are married?" I asked.
"Sure, Ari and Dave are married," said Greg.
"Also Greg and Elizabeth are married," said Erik.
