In the wide space one can hear footsteps, running footsteps.

Grassland.

Nature.

The landscape was ideal for playing or having a picnic.

"Kylia! Stop running!"

She was a little girl, running all over the landscape. Behind her another little girl, who was running just to stop the first one.

"I said enough, I can't take it anymore."

"Alright, you get tired easily, there's no fun like that!

They came to a dead end, THE WALLS.

The first one turned around with an excited and exalted look, she seemed to want to climb over that wall which was over seventy metres high. The second one, on the other hand, had a terribly tired and anxious look.

"Ohi, don't tell me you want to do that."

"Why not?"

"You're kidding right?"

"I'll get it done, I can do anything."

[ Kylia, 15 years old, Status: ALIVE ]

"If you say so, then if you fall and get hurt, forget about me carrying you home."

[ Orion, 15 years old, Status: ALIVE ]

Meanwhile, in the orphanage, Miss Eva had started to take roll call for those present at lunch.

"Luis! There is, Clara! There is, Yuu! He's here..."

As she continued, she realized that someone was missing. Obviously who but Kylia and Orion, the biggest and liveliest ones in the entire facility. Miss Eva went to look for them in the middle of the forest, because usually children who want to escape take refuge there.

"Aaah, where could those two brats have gone!"

Eva continued her search while Kylia tried in vain to climb over the wall and Orion who stumbled upon something very strange.

"Eh, a trapdoor?"

It was an iron trapdoor, sealed to perfection.

"What's a trapdoor doing in the middle of the forest?"

This also attracted Kylia's curiosity who also intervened to understand why a trapdoor was in that place.

"Hey Hey maybe it's a Top Secret place in the orphanage!"

"No kidding."

Orion possessed incredible intelligence that was out of the ordinary. That's why she was feared by all the children. I mean, they were afraid that she was planning something evil. You know how children are.

On the other side is Kylia, who also has a superior intelligence, but does not reach that of the former. Kylia is only interested in having fun and playing happily and carefree, but woe betide her, especially when she is told that she is too short for her age (1.59 cm).

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"Wait maybe we can open it!"

Orion had an idea: take a sturdy branch and sharpen it more and more, so as to unscrew the somewhat loose screws of the trapdoor.

He pulled off a branch, but just then a familiar voice was heard.

"Kylia! Orion! Where are you!"

Busted! Orion however didn't throw the branch away but hid it in his shirt.

"Damn, she's onto us."

The two started to run, but were immediately blocked by something else, another trap door.

"HUH? ANOTHER ONE?"

Orion was quite nervous, she'd even gotten a bruise from the hit earlier.

Anyway, because of that they were discovered by Miss Eva, who took them back to headquarters. Their punishment was a good clean up up in the attic and helping the cook wash the dishes.

"Go on! Go! And don't you dare run away again!"

"Roger..."

~ two hours later ~

It was now evening and the children were getting ready for dinner. The two lively little girls were also present at the night roll call. All seems quiet and sleep seems to be overwhelming all the children.

~ 11:45 p.m., everyone to bed! ~

Everyone was asleep, but the usual two were always awake. First they began to leave the facility. But there was still the careful surveillance of the young lady.

"Kylia...Kylia..."

"Uh...what is it..."

"Come on, Miss Eva has gone to sleep."

Kylia and Orion were trying hard not to be discovered. Light and silent steps. But at some point voices were heard, one was familiar, the other was not.

"Orion!"

"Shh...we must not be discovered."

They were two grown people. They were wearing white coats. The familiar one was Dr. Alexander, head of the orphanage's infirmary, and the second one was unfamiliar but was carrying a strange object.

"Hey Orion..."

"What!"

"That...isn't that the branch you took?"

"Um...yeah! Damn, they must be onto us."

But as the two of them were having thoughts about how this could have happened, a very, very familiar figure came out from behind them.

"Ugh! Miss Eva!"

"Shut up and come with me!"

All three of them went to a place where no one could hear what they were saying.

"So! I guess we didn't understand each other!"

"Excuse me, Miss Eva..."

They repeated in chorus.

She didn't look angry, more like she was tired. She picked up the two girls and carried them to the bed and put them to sleep there.

~ 9:00 a.m. ~ Breakfast and fun! ~

In the establishment, after breakfast it was customary to go to the garden to play and have fun. Obviously the best time of our Kylia and the most boring for Orion.

While everyone was having fun, Orion started his usual walk with the young lady.

"Orion, why don't you ever go out and have fun with the others?"

"Because they're afraid of me.

"Oh, that's not true! You just have to show your sympathy, you'll see they'll want to play with you!"

"If you say so

"I'm going to see the children for a moment, I'll be right back."

Orion gave a grin, as if to say "I got you!". He picked up his secondary, sharpened branch and headed for the spot where the trapdoor was located. Before he left though he heard a voice, it was still the two of them, the adults in the white coats.

"Aaaah I'm so tired!"

"Let's go, we still have a lot of work to do."

"Ah! Dr Alexander, tomorrow we start with the cables, right?"

"That's right."

Orion hid behind a tree to hear everything. But maybe it was better not to.

"Do we know who the first one will be yet?"

"Yes...her name is Kylia, Kylia Sunshine."

Sweat leaked from Orion's face. She was very very scared.

"…"

"…"

"...Huh...?
