Welcome To The Orphanage

Arthur sits up in his bed. The sun shining brightly through the curtains. He yawns and looks around the room, in the room. There are 6 beds, three on each side of the room, lined up. This room was for the boys, while another room was for the girls.

He lies back down as his pitch black hair falls onto his face, minutes later someone taps on his feet.

"Wake up sleepyhead" A beautiful girl says. Orange hair, with red woven into it hanging just above Arthurs legs. As her deep hazel eyes stared at him. "I'll be up in a minute Allison" Arthur mumbled back as he turned in his bed. Allison pouted "You promised you'd take me to see the bees today"

Arthur looks up at her maid costume and without realising it, admires her curves. She looks at him cheekily "Like what you see?" Arthur's eyes widen and he covers them in shame while uttering "Sorry".

Allison laughs "Don't worry, now get dressed. The others have already left to the dining room". Arthur looks around, just as she said all the beds are empty, except one which is always empty. "I'll be down in a second". He says Allison nods and leaves the room.

Arthur was now alone with his thoughts and the folded clothes at the bottom of his bed. He stands up and stretches, he isn't very muscular. He is quite skinny and with his red eyes and pale skin. He looks like a starved vampire at times. He puts on his thin black wool shirt, and pants. His clothes were a little loose and didn't quite fit, none of the clothes at the orphanage fit Arthur perfectly.

They couldn't constantly buy clothes neither since they didn't get a lot of money. Just enough from the baron to keep it going.

Arthur made his way out of the room. Almost tripping on one of the steps of the stairs in the process. Making it to the first floor, he lazily steps over to the kitchen and dining room.

When he enters the doorway he falls flat on his face, his frail arms couldn't even catch him. The two boys and the one girl who were in the doorway laughed hysterically at his feeble attempt to catch himself, the girl then spoke while laughing: "Gee bone-man, nice landing, maybe if you didn't have chicken skewers for arms." She then spits on him.

Arthur lazily lifts his head to look at the rude girl. It was Raina, as expected by Arthur. One of the twins on the other side of the doorway continued "More like toothpi-" He was interrupted by someone yelling "THAT'S ENOUGH WILL AND ROBERT" making them jump back to their seat and continue on with breakfast. "And you Raina, you will be cleaning the kitchen afterwards" Raina looked at the corner the sound came from dejected while pleading. "Please Marida. We we're just having fu-"

Marida then comes from around the corner and glares at her with piercing purple eyes while saying each word with clear pronunciation "Did. I. Stutter?"

Raina quickly shut up and went over to her seat, whispering "you're dead" to Arthur on the way.

Marida was a muscular woman, standing tall even above most men, she usually wore casual clothes that were tightly hugging her curvy, muscular body.

Marida's amber brown hair reaching a little further than her shoulders that were tied up into a bun. She walked over to Arthur and picked him up with ease.

Arthur was now being held by her eye to eye bleeding from his nose. She then says "We will talk after, now eat." Arthur gets put down on the ground and given a paper towel by Marida. Quickly wiping his face with the paper, he threw it in the trash while cursing his own weakness under his breath.

He had already gotten used to the bullying from his fellow orphans, but that didn't make him hate them less. He goes and sits in his seat, grabs a piece of toast and begin spreading butter on it with a wooden butter knife. As he's reaching for the cheese someone slaps his hand.

He looks over at Will staring at him. He once again reaches for the cheese, but was now kicked under the table "Ouch!" he exclaims. Will then feels a hand on his shoulder as he stiffens up. "You will be cutting the grass today." Marida whispers. Then dissappears out the door. "How come Robert doesn't have to do anything?" Will grunts to himself.

Arthur chuckles internally as he hears that. Then finally eats his breakfast in peace.

Arthur leaves to the hall where he finds Allison waiting. She jumps on him, giving him a hug. "I heard what happened are you okay?" Arthur can barely hold the plump girl up, almost falling he manages to force out "I'm fine" in a breathy voice. His cheeks flaring up as he realizes her plump breasts are firmly placed on his chest.

She moves back from him and sees the bruise on his cheek. "I'm sorry I wasn't there." Arthur could feel the envious stares from his fellows behind him, especially Will. Arthur brushes her hand off his cheek "It's fine, really. I have to go see Marida now."

Allison's eyes widen "Really, did you do something wrong or? she whispered. "I don't think so, but she's definitely gonna tell me something important..." he whispered in response. Allison patted him lightly on the back and finally whispered "Good luck" Arthur showed a quick smile in return.
