1 First, Second, and Escape

(First)

Dear Diary,

Today, I decided to write everything I've seen or been through before i totally forgot it because I want to remember everything that happened to me. Of course not everything was good about my life. I was sent to the orphanage when I was still a baby and I haven't meet my parents at all. But that's alright, I was raised well together with the other kids. The orphanage isn't as bad as it seems though. I have a lot of good friends to which I grew fond of, and they do feed me after some hardworks. Unlike those bad stories about the life of being an orphan, this isn't so bad. Well that's what I thought. Aside from the fact that everyone is said to be adopted after being a "bad children" as they said, of course that wasn't the case Diary. I just found out that only a few of us are getting adopted. Most of the ones that are gone, had been turned into meat and were sold at the meat shop. I found out when I accidentally read the letter for Mrs. Bicket. It stated that they're gonna need three children for a party. That's also the reason why I started to write to you. I don't know until when my life would last, nor if I will ever be safe here. Till then Diary, thanks for listening. I think mrs. Bicket just called out. Gotta go now!

Dear Diary,

I woke up from the bell that mrs. Bicket rang earlier. She only rang the bell when she has an announcement to tell us, and so she did. She told us that four of the children will be adopted tomorrow. I freaked out when she called out to me together with three other kids saying we're the ones being adopted. The other three were so excited, I haven't got the slightest excitement felt, especially since knowing all those. Of course I know that only one of us will be really adopted. They'll sell three of us in their supposedly meat shop and let one of us get adopted so that one could visit here when the children asked about our whereabouts. Outstanding move I must say. Afternoon came and I decided to tell the three others about what I've learned so far, not to scare them but hopefully to save them. No one believed me. They said I was just being selfish and doesn't want them to get adopted too. I can't blame them for that. So tonight, I decided to escape alone. I prepared all my stuffs and all that's left is for me to wait 'till they're all asleep. Till then Diary, wish me luck!

(Escape)

Dear Diary,

The moment when I thought that everyone was sleeping. I quickly grabbed my blanket and tried to climb down from the second floor tying the blanket on the railings of the balcony. Unfortunately, I haven't thought of it much. The blanket was actually too short for me to be able to go down. I ended up jumping in about one and a half meter high and broke my ankle. Hopefully, not that much. Then mrs. Bicket's dog came barking after me. I was able to outrun it, but I think it woke mrs. Bicket because after that i heard the door swung wide open. I quickly climb out of the huge gate not looking back at the house. I quickly run through the streets until I reach the crowded part of tge city. I settled on the sides of the street and am gonna use my backpack as a pillow. I never thought I would end up like this one day. I wish I could help the other kids but, I'm just too young to even convince them. I look around the streets and saw a woman, wearing a shoulder bag. A man came after her side. I thought maybe they're together but I saw the man holding a cutter. I was just staring at them. The man started cutting the strap from behing the woman and so I shouted, as loud as I could. I didn't know what else to do. Everyone looked at me, but the man kind of panicked and run away. I signalled to the woman's bag and she discovered that it was half-way cut through. She smiled at me. Even if I can't help the other kids, I'm still glad to be able to help that woman. I'll sleep now diary. Goodnight!
