New Home
I survived when my parents died . It was a plane crash, 3 weeks ago . I can remember it . The faces of the people right before the plane smashed into the mountain. They looked so panic, so scared . The faces of my parents . All they looked like was worry. The plane erupted into flames. The flames were hot yet pretty. Like a dance of the colors . Red , blue , yellow , orange , they danced around bringing destruction to the living and already dead bodies. I managed to crawl out .
I was the only one who survived . I got out with a few cuts and scratches. All the other bodies were burnt and chopped by shards of metal. They but me in to the hospital for exams and after a week they couldn't find any other relatives for me to stay with.
Even at the age of 16 they sent me to an orphanage. This orphanage was deep in the woods and away from any other people. It was an orphanage for kids who would become adults soon.
The ride up the mountain the trees seemed to consume the street winding it's way around sides of cliffs . Past the trees seemed an ominous darkness.
Driver : are you excited to go to meet some new people
He was talking to me like a child .
Me : no
The woman next to his whispered something in his ear, then all was quiet. I could hear the cars tires driving over every bump , everything rock , and the wind outside whistling secrets to the darkness beyond the trees .
Then as if nothing had happened ,the trees parted to a large property with an extremely large mansion.
Lady : this is your new home . Please don't cause any trouble .
The car stopped and the woman let me out of the car . The owner of the property comes out to great us .
Mis. Morgan : oh you guys made it . Come in come in .
We went inside the huge house . As I walked up the seeps leading to the door I wondered to myself , why so far away from anyone , why such a big house .
Lady : good evening mis Morgan
Mis Morgan : so you brought me a cute one this time . Tell me a little about him .
She passes her a file with a picture of me clipped on the top right corner. I put my head phones on one listen to some music on the iPod I recovered from my house we use to live at .
Lady : here's his background . Is their anything else you want to know.
Mis Morgan : he seems like a good kid . But what does it mean here with lack of emotions .
Lady : he was born to inelegant and he over thinks everything . His brain can keep up with this and he has a hard time showing emotions. He can emote but it's hard for him.
Mis Morgan : oh I see . I'm sure he'll be a great addition here .
I took my head phones off and she started talking to me as that lady left .
Mis Morgan : so Logan ,are you ready to meet your new friends .
Me : I don't know anyone of them how are they my friends.
She went silent for a while .
Mis Morgan : let's go meet them
I followed her down one of the multiple long halls into a large room where some of the people their were reading, talking, and sleeping .
Miss Morgan : children . I want you to welcome Logan to our new family .
I remained silent as some of the people cared to look up at me . My backpack hanging off one of my shoulders , my jacket open ,and my slightly slouched posture . What were they thinking , I didn't know .
Mis Morgan left the room and I sat in one of the vacant chairs next to one of the tall book shelves .
A bright personally girl around the are of 15 or 16 comes up to me. She had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes that complimented her face and the slight curl at the ends of her hair that ended at the middle of her back complemented the white dress she wore .
Cindy : nice to meet you Logan . I was the newest one before you came . I could help you around this place . It's quite large .
I looked at her silent .
Cindy : your quiet aren't you .
Doug: Cindy leave the new kid alone .
Doug was a kid that looked around the age of 18 . He wore a white tang top , blue ripped jeans worn low , a baseball cap worn backwards and his hair stuck out the bottom and front of it . He was sitting by one of the windows looking out .
Cindy : I'm just trying to be nice
Doug : well leave him be
Cindy : * sighs *
Their was a boy ,around the age of 17, sitting in the corner fiddling his fingers and sizing me up . He had a crooked smile on his face and his long wavy dark brown hair that covered one eye seemed more threatening than the black jacket with chains hanging off the shoulders .
Their was a girl around the age of 15 sitting at the fire looking deeply into it . The flames flickered off her yellow eyes . Her short light brown hair seemed choppy becomes it was unbrushed .
From the other room mis Morgan called us for dinner .
Mis Morgan : kids dinner
Some one the kids reply coming and others just got up and left . I followed the crowd to the dinning hall. Their was around 50 chairs and each chair had a kid in it besides the ones for the other people helping mis Morgan run the orphanage , mis Morgan , and for me .
I didn't feel right sitting with them but I did .
Mis Morgan : okay since everyone is here let me introduce, Logan , our newest member of the orphanage.
I thought to myself as people say hello across the table while waiting for dinner to come and be served , I don't belong here .
Some of the cooks brought out large trays of food and placed some food from each try on every plate . The aroma was delightful but I didn't have an apatite to eat so I just sat their and watched everyone else eat .
Gaban: are you going to eat that
Gaban was a fat kid . He had large glasses and freckles that covered his pail cheeks. His brown hair curled around his glass frames .
Me : no , you can have it .
He took the food off the my plate. And I watched him consume the food . Once everyone was done eating the scattered off to their rooms .
Mis Morgan : Tony come here.
Tony : yes mam
Mis Morgan : I want you to show Logan to his room . It's room 369 if I'm not mistaken it's right next to yours.
Tony : ok please follow me .
Tony was a small kid around 5'4" . He had short black hair and grey eyes .he had a frail stature . I followed this boy up two flights of stairs and down a long hallway to the end of it right next to a window .
Tony : that's your room . It's right across the hall from mine . If you need anything else just knock .
I didn't know what to say . So I remained silent and I walked to my room and turned the handle and pushed forward.
The room smelled like a cool beach breeze. The carpet was black and the walls were a rose red . Their was a desk that was black with a lamp on it . The bed was a plane white.
I plopped on the bed and threw my bag down .
Me : this is supposed to be home now .
I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep .
