“Let go of me let go!” I yelled at the man. But he just squeezed my arm more. “I want my mommy! Let me go please!” But still he pushed and pulled harder. He picked me up and roughly put me in one of the chairs.

It was cold to the touch, which gave me shivers. Tears where rolling down my faces from the fear and abuse. They scraped me in the chair tight with metal bars that went over my rest, ankles and neck. It went back slowly and when I looked up the sharp knives and things hung above me. Three men looked over me with white face masks on. They slowly put a clear mask over my mouth and in seconds everything went blue then black.

When I awoke, one maybe two days later I not too sure, I was back in my room. I turned my head slowly over to the wall and saw some food. So I got up slowly and painfully putting my legs over the side of the bed. I began to stand but fell to the floor. Looking dazed I tried again and fell to the floor. I turned and looked at my legs and they had orange lines on them all going in many different directions and that’s when I started to panic.

I crawled over to the door stabling and started bagging on the door screaming with tears in my eyes. “What did you do to me?” Over and over again I yelled this tell I fell over and cried. I must have cried for hours. Just looking at myself. ‘Why did they do this? Why are they doing this to us?’ I thought over and over again. Though nothing came to mind.

When I finally got use to the orange in my body I got up and tried walking again. I did a little better this time. Got a few feet then fell over. About four falls later I was at the table with the food. It had a nice orange, ironically, a small sandwich with ham and lettuce, and a small glass of water. I eat all the sandwich, half the orange and drank all the water in minutes, and I was still hungry. Though my tummy grumbled I just couldn’t eat the orange so I went back to my bed and sat there. Looking up I saw something flicker and I smiled. This little light made me feel like things might be ok. I closed my eyes and went in to a deep sleep.
Tell a loud banging sound came to my door and I woke with a startle. “What or who is that?” I said aloud. Rubbing my eyes I sat up and yawned. Slowly walked over to the door when it flew open and the man in white was there again with an evil look on his face. “What not you again.” I screamed and ran to the corner.
He came over to me and slapped my face. “You will come with me. NOW!” He screamed while he picked me up by the arm. “Now move you.” He threw me out into the hall.

When I got in the hall I saw all the little kids that came with me and a few more that I didn’t not know. I wiped my nose on my dirty sleeve and walked to the girl that came with me that had black hair. I think her name was Alessa. I walked to her side and smiled. Alessa smiled back, but before I could get right beside her the man in white pushed me away and told me to stay by my door. So I did without a fuss and stood there quietly waiting.

A small man about 5 feet tall came out of the door at the far end. He wore a light green suit with gold cufflinks. He has a big bold spot on the top of his head and pepper looking hair that was around it. His face was a long and skinny like the rest of his body even though he was so short. His right hand with its long fingers grasped a cane for support, so he must of had bad legs from a young age for he looked no older than 30.

He walked slowly looking at every single boy and girl. The skin and hair to see if they matched I was guessing. When he got to some that where off he motioned of one of the men to take them off. About every third kid he sent one off sometimes even two or three at once. Mostly with the same hair, Redorange.

He got closer and closer to my room door. With every person getting sent away my heart skipped a beat. He didn’t send Alessa which was good to know. But he did send Willeum off. Willeum was the little boy that got sent with us with light brown hair. From what I could see Willeum had blackish looking vanes and he was suppose to have brown. Then he came to me.

When he approached me I about cried for I thought he was going to send me away. He looked in my eyes with a small light. Checking them both a few times over. Then he lifted up my leg with his cane and half smiled. “She is good” he said in a squeaky voice, “Lock them back up I say.” as he slowly made his way back to the doors at the end of the all.

The man in white pushed me back in my room and locked it. When I got in I ran to my bed and cried softly for those poor kids that had to go back to that place with the chairs. So after that I feel back asleep from all the crying that day.

In the morning after I got up out of bed there were some cloths that I hope fit me on the table. The ones I had on where all thrashed from the abuse that they went through. The new cloths where just a light blue pants and a red pink shirt. I didn’t like it at all but it was better than the rags I had on. So I changed and just when I finished the door open. That nasty man in white was back but this time I noticed a name badge. It said Fredwe.

“Fredwe?” I said aloud. “What kind of name is that?”

He just looked at me and hissed at me, “It was the name of my great father girl. Now let’s go.”

He pulled my arm harder than normal. It felt like it was going to be ripped off by his bare hands. He tuck me in to the big room again with all the chairs and I started to struggle trying to get free. I know this time what those chairs where for mostly.

“Don’t be so hastily little girl. We are not stopping here today." he said smirking.

Pushing me along I got to see a little more than last time. I Saw that everyone that was in the chairs had the same or close to the same hair and vanes and some of them even had a light shade of the color on their skins as well, but the where much older then me. Maybe 10 or so. I almost puked on the ground from all of this, but made it through just fine.

When we got to the other end of the massive hall we went through big doors that went outside. Weirdly enough it was dark. It’s so bright in there it’s hard to tell day from night. I looked up to Fredwe, “How long have I been here?”

He looked down at me and smiled big. “Oh I would say about a month little girl.”
