Before the fall
Hi,my name is (y/n)
I'm an orphan at st.marralyns orphanage
I was abandoned as a child after my mother had a maternal death,the grief made my father emotionally unstable and unfit to care for a child at my age so he dropped me off and I never saw him again...
It's not that bad really,the staff here are nice even when I play pranks on them,and the kids are all okay,sure many of them are depressed because of traumatic past events but they still push on and I admire that
I have some friends,four of them,well...three of them now...one of them committed suicide last year,it was terrible...poor Jane...
But let's not dwell on the past,I still have my three great friends,Wallace,Cooper and robin...
Robin is a strong minded girl with the heart and soul of a warrior,she's around my age but has been in the orphanage for much less time,only arriving three years ago while I have been here for 16,she had the darkest past out of all of us but keeps it to herself
Cooper is a smart but reserved kid,he was originally a boy but is a transgender so likes to be referred to as using girl words like she and her,she likes to draw and is pretty good at it too
Wallace is just a huge jerk,but is sincere and brotherly when he needs to be,but he can also be pretty annoying,he is the oldest of us and is a stereotypical boy,he always sets up the pranks with us three even when cooper tries to convince him otherwise
Wallace and cooper are dating and have been for a year,you have to admit they are pretty darn cute together,plus none of the other kids have the guts to mess with either of them about it since they have a whole mini squad backing them up
I'm more of a crafty cat-like girl myself,I can usually weasel my way out of most situations,plus I'm into parkour,earning me the nickname of 'the black cat' among my fellow orphans and even some of the staff,I carry around a throwing knife in a secret holster on my belt,I hide it with my shirt as I often wear baggy shirts and tight,elastic,black leggings,if I got caught with that thing,holy shit you don't Wanna know what would happen
I happen to be a collector of small handheld weapons,a rather dangerous hobby that has gotten me in trouble quite often,I have a secret bag on the roof where I store them now so Nobody can get them anymore though...
It was a sunny day outside and me and my friends were hanging out around the top of mount ebbot,there was a not too steep path we like to hike up,it takes us to a small clearing in the woods where I have set up a little wooden target on a tree to practice my throwing knife skills
Our little lovebirds have a special tree where they always sit and smooch and other gross stuff like that,they also carved their names into it,sometimes cooper likes to curl up there with a book while Wallace and robin are doing dumb shit and setting up traps and pranks
We all like to do whatever there and we call it our secret spot,we spend most of our time there and have set up little fairy lights around it to light it up in case we stay up late
I was doing target practice as per usual and cooper was reading moby dick when suddenly robin dashed towards us in a panicked state...
"GUYS HELP! WALLACE FELL INTO EBBOT,HE'S STILL ALIVE BUT HES STUCK IN THE HOLE"
"oh goodness,we have to rescue him"
"Yeah! You guys go,I have some rope and stuff back in our room"
"Got it"
Robin and cooper ran off to the top of mount ebbot as I rushed in the opposite direction,making a beeline for the orphanage
Once I arrived I tossed the backpack on my back and hopped out the window,we were on the first floor so I didn't take any damage from the fall
I sped up the mountain,almost tripping multiple times along the way over loose roots and rocks and other things
Once I arrived at the mouth of the cave I heard voices inside and then a scream...
...cooper had jumped...
