Lab experiment #007

3rd Person Pov

Anya. Returned 3 times, each with a letter of refusal seeping with fake regret.

Day after day, night after night, Anya waited for the one that would end this boredom. Loitering on the streets, in the market, on the beachside, Anya mindlessly wasted her youth.

But just before her 5th birthday, a man appeared wanting a child that could read and write! Loid Forger had been impressed by her completion of the corssword puzzle, that she was sure of.
So then why, why, did he not her?

"Oh- ideally I'd like a child who can already read and write."

"Yeah? In that case- Anya, get over here!"

"You have to be at least 6 to enroll at Eden Acdemy. This girl looks 4, 5 at the oldest..." Loid thought wearily. Alarmed, Anya stood on tipy toes to prove that he can mistake her for a 6 yr-old.

"Six!" She confirmed. She ran over, grabbed the a crossword, a few pencils, and started frantically scribbling the answers straight from Loid's head. "Homeostasis...casual closure...symplectomorphism"

"You finished that?! Seriously?!"

[Fast forwarding to when Loid is about to leave]

"Sir, unfortunately I won't be able to adopt anyone here. I apologise for the inconvenience and I hope you a good day." Just like that, Loid Forger dodged the broken gates and rubble before continuing on his way home.

He doesn't want Anya? Anya only has a few more days before the tracking device is located and Anya will be taken to the scary guys again! She has to battle rain, storm, and fire to run away and secure a safe home! Thanks for watching this weeks battle.

Suddenly, an impatient knocking from the doorway stopped my train of thought.

Surely, it can't be, right? Surely? A bang made me cover my ears, and by the time I dared to peek up, the rusty musty crusty dusty door was broken, the toddlers covered with wood splinters, and beady eyed me under strict scrunity.

I felt my pulse quicken with fear, and so I bolted out of the orphange and activated my telepashy, tellpathie, telepty...whatever, and followed a woman who was thinking about peanuts! She was certainly a good lady to follow, and then she spoke with a person outside Anya's vision.

 
"My, my, hello! I was informed of a young man living next to my nephew and I. He just couldn't wait to meet you! Please, come in for tea later this afternoon as I could not bother you with so many stacks of boxes in your hands. Do let me assist you—"

"I'm so tired."

"Thank you, madam. I would love to! I'll bring some cakes over from the bakery across the road, if it's all right with you and your nephew?"

Anya let out an inaudible gasp. So he did want a child afterall! The lady then proceed to leave, and this Loid certainly let out one big sigh of relief straight away.

Loid Pov

I noticed the same young girl from yesterday darting big, emerald eyes for incoming signs of danger, and then cautiously walked up to me. She didn't look lost; in fact, she looked relieved. Her heart was beating at an unsually rapid pace though, but I don't know why.

I crouched down. "Sweetie are you lost?" I asked in a voice that hopefully sounded gentle. She shook her head.

If I recall, this was the same girl that sat on the unswept floor with a toy chimera. She also showed me the finished crossword puzzle. Perhaps, as she is already here, I'll just ask the Handler to give me the her information and she can become my foster daughter.
