Side Story : Elane Arrives At The Orphanage.

Arriving at her new home along with Cassandra, Elnae stood behind her by holding her dress. She was apprehensive of the new place.

The voice of children laughing and playing hung in the air but Elane felt shy and embarrassed to go and talk to any of the kids just behind the gate.

Elane looked up at Cassandra with a little apprehension and slightly teary eyes.

"They won't hurt you.", Cassandra said with a smile as she brushed Elane's hair so that it looked decent.

Walking up along with Cassandra Elane soon found herself in front of all the kids who were busy playing on the various rides like the see-saw, the swings, and the merry-go-round.

Most kids were very busy, but suddenly a girl, similarly sized, saw Elane and walked up to her with a smile.

"He- Hello!" The girl said enthusiastically and moved around Cassandra to catch the girl trying to hide from her.

Elane felt a little afraid so she held onto Cassandra tighter but with a slight push of confidence from her, Elane stepped ahead.

The girl immediately came closer and introduced herself, "I'm Cathy. You are?"

"My name is Elane. My big brother's name is Loki. If you do anything to me he'll beat you up!"

Elane said closing her eyes with fear but when she suddenly heard all the playing children fall silent, she squinted her eyes open.

To her surprise, all the children in the park had immediately gathered around her and Cassandra.

"Loki!?" Cathy asked with shock and Elane just nodded quickly.

The children immediately looked up at Cassandra and asked over each other, "Is it him!?"

Cassandra only nodded softly.

"Woah!!!!" Suddenly everyone in the crowd cheered and came closer to Elane and gripped her hand.

"If anyone troubles you tell me about it! Everyone here fears me! Ah! My name's John by the way!"

"Don't listen to him no one is afraid of John! He's scared of bugs too! If you ever want more food come over to me! I always keep a few treats hidden from everyone to snack on later!!"

"Elane! Come with me!!" Seeing Elane shrinking because of the sudden crowd around her, Cathay grabbed Elane's hand and rushed towards the orphanage building along with her.

They eventually reached the roof and sat down on the terrace.

*pant* *pant*

"Haha~ Sorry about that. Everyone is a little excited to hear your brother's name."

Elane had a puzzled expression but a thought struck her and she nodded.

"Of course, they know Big Bwother's name. He's awesome!"

"Haha~ yes. He is! He gave the orphanage so much money last month! We all got new toys because of him!"

As soon as the topic shifted to talking about Loki, Elane was no longer shy, she began to speak about all the things she and Loki had done. She was so lost in describing everything that she didn't realise other people had come to the roof after her and Cathy and were now listening to her tales.

It seemed like everyone was eager to know more about Loki for some reason.
