A Frozen Heart

Chapter 3

It was sunny. The children of the orphanage played outside, happily with one ball. The orphanage couldn't permit a second one. They were too poor. But even with one ball the children played happily together.

Not all of them. In the shadow of the orphanage sat two 8 years old boys in the grass, reading books. Books that were too difficult for their age. Harrison sighed and closed his books. ' Tom, I've already read them. Do you have new ones?'

"No, the orphanage can't pay more books." Tom sighed too. He looked at the other children disgustingly.

Since the event last year Harrison and Tom became friends, best friends. Tom teached Harrison how to control his 'gift' and all the subject until he knew as much as Tom himself. Sometimes they even teach the other children of the orphanage a 'lesson'. Their favourite targets were the 4 traitor friends of Harrison. When they tortured them Harrison didn't pity them, instead he enjoyed it and wanted more. When the other children told Mary about the 'lessons' Harrison and Tom acted innocent. They never had a proof. The year when Harrison and Tom became friends was called The Devil's Spawns year by other children.

Harrison sighed once more. "This is too boringgg." said he, while gaping.

"Well, we could give them some lessons..." Tom suggested. Harrison looked angry but also happy. He still hadn't forgive them and never would.

"We could sneak out of the orphanage. It's too boringgg here and they won't mind anyway." Harrison suggested. Tom thought about it. Nobody would care, after all they didn't want the freaks in their orphanage and it was much more interesting outside. But outside the orphanage was dangerous, if you didn't watch out people who kidnap you or something.

"Tommy, are you there?" Harrison waved his hands and Tom snapped out of his thoughts.

"Yes, let's go." Tom said determined. Harrison looked happy.

"What's the plan to sneak out?" Harrison asked curiously with big eyes pleading.

"Really, you shouldn't plead. Others should plead for us. But yes, I have a plan. We're just making a deal with the others and walk away." Tom rolled his eyes.

"Well, that's easy." said Harrison a half happy half disgusted tone. Tom and Harry got up and walked to the nearest child Rick.

"What are you doing here?" Rick said with a disgusted tone, but Harrison and Tom could see the fear in his eyes and smirked a bit.

"We're here to make a deal." Tom said with an icy tone. Rick flinched.

"Yeah of course, making a deal with the freak, as if you would keep your deal." said Rick sarcastically. Harrison really wanted to punch the other boy but refrained himself. He isn't worth it.

"Well, perhaps this time I would keep it. This is the deal : We are going to sneak out of the orphanage and you won't see us until 18:00. Also, don't tell it or we will give you some lessons... Is that a good deal?" asked Tom.

Rick thought about it. The freaks would be gone till 6 o'clock, that would be the best thing what happened till now!
And no torture sessions the whole day if they didn't tell it!

"Fine, I accept the deal." Rick said happy and ran away to tell the others about the deal. Harrison and Tom grinned when he turned his back on them. They lost the torture sessions, but got instead of that something better.
