Mom?

When I woke up, I saw a blonde haired girl with porcelain white skin, going through a document. She noticed me and smiled brightly.

"You're awake. How are you feeling now?"

"Healthy as a horse." As I said this her smile widened.

"You see, the benefits of getting treated with the best Doctor in the whole school."

"Doctor? But you're 'bout my age." I asked WI a confused look.

"Here, age doesn't decide your capabilities. I may be too young to be a doctor in the outside world but not here." She declared.

"So, did you look after me all this time?" I asked.

"Nah, it was actually Solace who was here, looking after you. In fact, he left just a few minutes before you woke up." She told me.

"Oh" I didn't know why but after hearing what this girl said, I felt something strange.

"It's almost dinner time. You must be feeling hungry. Come on, take a shower and get changed." She said as she handed me some clothes.

"By the way, I'm Luna Thomas." She introduced he and I smiled in recognition.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Luna waiting for me. She smiled as she saw me.

"Hmm, I was right. You and my younger sister are exactly of the same size." she said as she examined the fitting like a fashion designer.

"Yeah, looks like it."

"Come on. Let's go."

And we both leaved the room. As we were reaching the dining area, which she called the Great Hall, she told me where I was and that I was completely safe here.

"It's a sort of school and a home for children like me. We call it Phoenix Academy."

"what do you mean by 'children like you'?"

"Actually, every child here... is an orphan."

"..."

"Our school is a bit different from other schools. This school is interested to teach every abandoned child who wants to learn. The founder of this school was a very rich man. Unfortunately, he met with an accident. His lawyer put forth his Will. Which stated that all the money and property of this man will be used for a school for orphaned children." She explained.

"But what will happen when all the money is used up?"

"After the death of the man our activity director, Mr McLean took his position. And carried on his business."

Then I saw a familiar brown haired boy coming towards us.

"Hi Luna and Scarlett." He greeted us.

"What happened, Steve?" Luna asked.

"Mr McLean wants to talk to Scarlett."

"Okay, you lead her to his office. I just wait for you guys in the Great Hall." and she left.

"Are you feeling better now?" he asked.

"Yes. Um... I wanted to thank you for all that you've done. Really, I owe you." I said thankfully.

"There's no need for you to thank me."

I stopped at that moment and looked into his eyes. "No, there is. You saved me not once but twice. I am thankful to you. And also if you ever need me I'm always there for you."

After a deep silence, he smiled. "Okay. so are we friends now?"

"Yep." that came out of my mouth more quickly than I imagined. I don't know but being with him made me react strangely.

"Okay then, let's get going. Mr McLean is waiting."

The head office was a very monumental room. Maybe the best in the whole academy. The room was very spacious and it smelled of fresh jasmine. I could see the whole view of the place through the huge glass window. I couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful view. There was an office table in the middle of the room and a man, about in his fifties with black hair and a formal demeanor, was sitting on the chair. As he saw us standing there, he stopped him work and walked towards us with a smile.

"Scarlett Dawson, how are you, my child?"

"Umm, do I know you, sir?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Of Course, you don't. But I'll like to introduce myself. I'm Paul McLean, the activity director of the Phoenix Academy." he introduced himself.

And before I could say anything. The door opened and a familiar beautiful lady walked in.

"Mom?" I was so confused. What was she doing here and how did she know where I was?

"I called her. There's something we need to talk about." the man said with an extremely serious tone.
