I’m Dedicated To You

“Edward to my office, “Miss Lydia says, ordering Edward to leave the dining room. We all looked at him pitifully because this is not the first time he is going to be punished.

“Miss Lydia it’s not Edward’s fault this time,” Georgina says in defense of Edward but she was pushed down by Victoria not to meddle in the orphanage business. After Miss Lydia and Edward leave the dining room the atmosphere returns to normal but Georgina is still hung on Edward’s case.

After the kids finished their dinner the guardians asked them to go to their different rooms because it was nighttime already and all the children retired to their room for the night.

The whole of Palm city was silent, having its moment of silence, the sky was so dark but the moon and the stars shone brightly complimenting the dark sky.

Inside the Love orphanage home the kids were all asleep and all their guardians also but after some moments of peace there was a sudden rise of alarm from the security guards outside.

There was smoke everywhere and the security men kept going around the building to raise the alarm over it.

“Ollie what’s going on?”Victoria asked, coughing her lungs out.

“I don’t but I think the building is on fire, “Olivia said the other kids in their room are already running helter-skelter so they could save themselves but while running Victoria halted her steps and asked.

“Where is Georgina?” Victoria asked panicking and Olivia immediately also halted her steps.

“I think she is not in the room where she could be” Olivia also inquires looking around.

“Did you know where that weird guy is staying after his punishment?” Victoria asked running back into the burning orphanage home Olivia also followed her hurriedly even when the orphanage guardians kept instructing them to turn back.?

“Why are you asking of the weirdo when the orphanage is burning and Gina is missing, “the ten years old Olivia asked irritatedly in her small voice, offended by how her friend can be asked of someone else in this situation.

“I have this hunch that Georgina is with him, “Victoria says.

“Ohhh I think Miss Lydia asked him to be kept in the supply room, l” Olivia says and they both turn to the supply room to look for their friend even though the building is burning immensely.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:Hi guys whobelse is cutting onions because I just can’t ever get enough of these friend bonds?

They both took to their heels till they both got to the supply room and they both saw Georgina banging on the supply room door looking for a way to break the lock.

“Georgina what are you doing, don’t you think you are running to save your life right now,” Victoria asked with a hoarse voice because the smoke is becoming unbearable for her and Olivia is also coughing so hard.

“Let’s leave here now because the fire is spreading so fast already,” Olivia says looking at the deserted hallway that is already emptied because everyone already makes their way out of the building.

“I will leave but Edward is still there,” Georgina says, banging her ten years old hand on the door when her friend saw that she is not yielding. Victoria looked around trying to look for anything to help with the lock because every second here is like a ticking bomb.

Victoria found three candlesticks that they can use to help break the lock and after several bangs of the candlestick on the lock the door finally opened and they saw a suffocated Edward on the floor.

“Edward Edward” Georgina called and his eyes dilated after being called but before he could understand what was going on he was dragged up by Victoria.

“If you still want to leave, run for your life,” Victoria says, taking Olivia and Georgina’s hand and running away leaving Edward behind. It looks like heaven wasn’t on the girl’s side because when they were escaping the building that was almost burnt was already collapsing.

“Did you think Edward would be able to escape?” Georgina asked, looking.?

“We haven’t even escaped yet you are still worrying about someone else, “Olivia says panting but while saying the building started collapsing behind making the little girls let out a sudden whiff because they are still ten years old little girls.

“Wow that was a narrow escape,” Olivia says letting out a sigh but the sigh turns to profuse sobs and her friend later joins in.

“What could cause a fire in the middle of the night”Georgina asked crying looking at the burning orphanage home.

“I don’t know but I think you were so stupid that you could still be in that place looking for a way out for someone, “Victoria says looking at her with daggers in her eyes.

“I don’t think I am the only stupid one because some girls were still running into a burning building to look for someone too” Georgina counterattacked.

“You are our friend and that’s what friends do” Olivia defended.

“Edward is a friend too,” Georgina says but the two girls rolled their eyes at her when they looked at the building. There was a sudden blast in the building making the building almost collapse to the ground. The little girls looked at the building in awe because they could just believe that the place that has been their home for several years could just collapse in just a day.

“Where are the rest, “Olivia asked looking around them and that’s when the other girls also noticed that they were left alone.

“Did we just get left behind?” Georgina asked not believing it.

“I think we should just walk to the street. I am sure they will not have gone that far,” Victoria says, like the girl’s mother but she is also scared.

“But it’s so dark, “Olivia says and Georgina also nodded, agreeing.

“We don’t have a choice, we have to move away from here, we can’t avoid witnessing another blast, “Victoria says, using her already dirty hand to rub her face, making it black but the girls can’t even laugh about it because the whole situation is not funny.

The girls started walking on the cold street of Palm city but it was weird because despite how the orphanage home got burnt there is no single ambulance or fire rescue team visible around the area the little kids did not see anything weird in it because they think that since the orphanage home is somehow deserted from the city that’s why the situation is like that.

After walking on the cold street for some minutes the girls saw a black van coming, so they quickly started stopping it hoping they could get help from them. The car stops when the girls decide to ask them for help but they decide against it when they see the faces of the people in the car and their instincts tell them that the guys are dangerous.

“Hi, little girls are you lost, “one of the men in the car asked but the girls didn’t see his facial expression. His voice alone sounds scary to them.

“No we are fine, our mom is coming to pick us up,” Georginana says, looking at the other girls and telling them to pick up their race but before they could do so the men already caught their trick so they opened the door, and before the girls could think of escaping they were already caught.

“Don’t worry little girls we are going to take you to see your Mama” one of the men says and the rest of them burst into laughter.

“Leave us alone we don’t need your help, “Olivia says struggling to get free from them but they were all pushed into the black van.

When the girls were pushed into the black van despite their struggles to get free from the men.

“What did you think just happened to us?”Victoria asked us.

“Miss Lydia always says when you are being taken away without your permission it’s called kidnapping,” Georgina says and the girls looked at themselves.

“Did we just get kidnapped?”the girls chorused, not believing it…NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
