Reyna shot up from the bed as the lullaby woke Her up; it's funny how the song wakes her up when it's used to make her sleep.

Looking around, She could see that She wasn't the only one who heard it, seeing that Malia, Rheanna and Diwa were also awake.

"You heard that?"

The other three nodded, and with a crazier move, Malia gets up from Her place and opens the door.

Rheanna and Reyna turned pale, Diwa looked confused.

And with the craziest move, Malia went out of the room, causing Rheanna and Reyna to get even paler.

"Ate Lia, where you goin'?" Diwa asked, following Malia. Rheanna and Reyna panicked silently, following the two orphans.

"Diwa, Malia, huwag!" Reyna whisper screamed for the other two, Rheanna turned on the flashlight of her phone.

"What's gotten into Malia's mind?" Rheanna muttered under her breath.

Until they stopped in front of a door, the basement door exactly. But there was something odd and glowing, in the middle was a Greek letter:

                                              Θ

"Theta."

Reyna looked at Rheanna, it wasn't suprising that  both Rheanna and Malia could understand another language, let alone learn an alphabet of another, they were bilingual after all.

And with a touch, the door opened.

"Hello?"

The voice echoed, three of them looked around as to while Malia was walking to one corner of the room.

"Malia, what are you--"

Reyna fell silent, what She didn't know was that Malia was walking to a rocking chair with an almost life-sized doll holding what seemed to be a journal.

"Maria?" Malia asked the doll, Diwa was walking to the direction of Malia.

Carefully, Diwa took the journal and what She saw was hard for Her to read, considering that She was five.

But all She could read was:

                      To: The Future Orphans
