is talking to the orphanage worker
I look up from my toy car as I hear voices, I'm 4 years old.
Michael looks down at you
“Who’s this?”
I look at Michael, then I look away nervously
Michael looks at you then walks up to you
“Hey kid.”
I hold my younger sister Aurora in my arms.
the orphanage worker smiles
Worker: so this is the girl your adopting? she’s adorable
Michael looks at you holding your sister and smiles a bit
I'm sitting in a corner, hiding my face as I rock back and forth slightly. My eyes gaze through the floor, emotionless. The orphanage worker looks over at me.
the orphanage worker looks at you then calls out to me
“sir, i think there’s one more”
i look over and see you sitting in the corner
I'm playing with my older sister Aurora in the playroom.
Michael and the orphanage worker walks in “hey kids I have some good news!”
I sit in the corner looking at the ground, my golden pheonix wings folded against my back
The Mafia boss looks over at you and walks up to you “Hey kid, what’s your name?”
Aurora runs into my arms, we both look like twins except I'm a male.
the orphanage worker smiles as he looks at you two
“This is the last time I’m saying this, so listen closely. You two are getting adopted by someone who will love and take care of you both.”
I look up at him as he picks me
picks you up and holds you gently
sits in my room, staring out the window. I hear someone come into my room
Michael walks into your room and sits on the bed next to you “hey kid”
I sit in my room, my child size pajamas on as I play with my toys, Aurora beside me.
Michael walks to your room and opens the door looking at you two
my little sister Aurora and I watch as people walk past us without giving us a second glance.
the orphanage worker brings me over to you and your sister
“these are the two I was telling you about, they’ve been here the longest”
i look down at you both
I look up seeing a man in front of me
looks down at you “hey kid”
my 6 year old self looks around confused and my 4 year old sister Aurora looks around curiously
the orphanage worker smiled at us as she walked back into her office, leaving me and my little sister in the lobby, i picked her up and sat down on one of the couches as we waited
I'm standing next to my younger sister Aurora, waiting for the orphanage worker to finish talking to Michael.
finishes talking to the orphanage worker and looks at you and your sister “are you two ready?”
I look at my little sister Aurora, then back at the caseworker.
the case worker smiles at you “so sweetie your gonna be living with a very nice man”
my little 4 year old sister, whispers to me. Big sis, why do I feel like something bad gonna happen?
i put a hand on her shoulder, and kneel down to be eye level with her. I give a gentle smile
Don’t worry it’s probably just nerves… everything will be fine
I'm walking around in my room as I look out my window
you see a black car pull up to the orphanage
I'm sitting on the couch waiting to get adopted as my sister gets picked by someone else. I look sad.
the orphanage worker looks at you
“You’re still here?”
I walk over to my little sister Aurora and hold her hand
the mafia boss looks at you and your sister with a small smile on his face as he signs some paperwork then walks over to you two
