" Little had I knew that If we weren't humans , I would've been the star and she would've been the black hole
She would've been that unknown disturbance that would engulf you all to the infinity
; where time , matter and spacetime had no value .

I were existence and she was the void . "

______________________________________

I don't know when did we decide this or if we even decided it , but somehow we ended up meeting everyday at the rooftop at 10 pm , 10 pm was our time , 10 pm is when I consider the start of the day , I think it has been two months since I met Katrina , we go up there stargaze , talk about crazy theories and speak out our real opinions .

during the time I spent with her , I knew that she shares the same despise I have for this house , for Katrina , the mother of this house , for every rule they put to imprison us , no matter how many words they say to sugarcoat the reasons of these rules

it is imprisonment

let me enlighten you a little about this orphanage , it is not normal , not your typical orphanage .

no they don't violently abuse us but mentally , I can assure to everyone that we all are sick here , sick in a very scary way , and after meeting Katrina I will tell you that the Gammas aren't the mentally ill thugs , they are just people who realized that this is wrong , that we deserve to live , to make mistakes and learn from them , not just watch the world from a far , we deserve to have a proper communication with people who experienced "the world"

Ladies and gentlemen , we are imprisoned

How ?

well , let me tell you a story , the story they told us when we started talking and thinking about the world ,

Once upon a time , there was a good French woman called Katrina , she was from a big noble family , she was very wealthy that she manged to buy an entire forest just for herself , at Réunion island , far away from the "Europe's sins" and from the "African's epidemics" and well the " disturbance in France" since she was close to the common people , close enough to predict that something would happen soon , something like a revolution , at 1729 she already gave up all her wealth for the sake of protecting the lost family-less children , she devoted her life then to us , she was said to be very pretty and fair , she had everything but she gave up everything for us .

this seems very sweet , right , a wealthy hottie who choose to save the kids instead of living her life like the other women at her age , she never got married , she never brought wine to the house , she gave up all there welfare for the sake of the children ,

so why do I hate her this much ?

"why do you hate her so much tho , Lucian ?" asked Katrina , who was keeping my company while I was gazing at somewhere in this wide forest

"because she took away our freedom , she may seem good , but she's a total psycho"

YES SHE IS , because in spite of all the good stuff she did - or at least told us she did - she made this sick rules

you see , after the french revolution , lots of corruption happened and there was many major changes that happened to the political system , she somehow managed to persuade the government to send 40 babies that their parents abandoned each 10 years , to our faraway island , away from all the changes that happened to world , she build massive walls to protect her property , us , from the corruption of the outside world .

she simply put these laws

1) We are not allowed out of the orphanage , once a child enters he shall live his life between his pure brothers and sisters .

2) When the children are old enough , they shall get married to whom they choose and nobody shall be forced into any marriage .

3) Married couples are not allowed to have children , the house is full of children who needs your love , adoption is only allowed

see ?

" SHE IS SICK , this woman basically forced us to live in a shell , she saw that the world is too corrupted and wanted to build herself a little virtuous city , that all her citizens are good and polite , she wanted to build a "pure world" and she thought that by distancing us from the world we would be good

she believed that humans are born good

she never knew that we are born with the choice

we are born with the darkness inside us , and we just choose to let it either consume us when we want to "

she looked at me , and smiled warmly at me , she I knew she was thinking the same , I knew she was me , she thinks like me

" I agree with you "

she lay down her on the pillow behind her , we brought them because we stayed up there for too long that it became uncomfortable sometimes to sit ,

she closed her eyes

"are you going to sleep for real ?!"

she was insomniac like me , so her sleeping early was a thing to mention and be surprised about .

"yes , I finally feel sleepy"

her voice was so soft , it felt so sweet to my ears , and it was infective , because that five minutes later my pillow joined hers and I instantaneously fell asleep .

' do I like Katrina ? '

that was my last thought before I fell asleep

I had a very weird dream that time , I don't really remember it clearly , I remember noises and quietness being mixed in that dream , darkness and lights , I remember I was free , but I was somehow feeling imprisoned , it was a weird dream but not as weird as what happened when I woke up

I just opened my eyes .

where is the rooftop ? where is the forest ?

' where is Katrina ?!'

I looked beside me and I found someone sleeping , I pulled out the blanket to reveal that person , just to make sure it was Katrina

and I can't lie , it was her , it was Katrina sleeping soundly beside me ,

but that was not the weird thing , the weird thing was the room we somehow ended up in , it was huge , and ancient !

and the bed was a king sized one , how did we end up here !

I got up and I felt a very cold are hit me , we never experienced this type of cold because we live in a tropical island in the end ,

then it hit me

my mirror reflection .

It was me , but not ME

It was an older version , a more handsome taller version , I looked like a man not a boy , I looked healthy and .. and ..

what is happening !

Katrina got up from the bed , she smiled at me , walked towards me , she was wearing a white dentelle nightgown , she too didn't look like my usual Katrina !!

she looked older , more like hotter ?

she looked like a lady !

she looked like..

Katrina..

" my love you are awake ?"

she said , while putting her hands on my shoulders , seeking a hug , the window showed me a horse stable , the clothes on the chair beside the bed , they didn't look like something to be wore now , but it was something from the past , something from the 18th century ..

WHAT'S GOING ON ?

where am I ?
