Chapter 1- The orphanage
Rain is splashing against the car’s windows. You’re sitting in the back, resting your head against the seat while you’re fidgeting with your bracelets. “When are we gonna arrive, sir?” The driver gives you no response. ‘Rude idiot’ you think to yourself.
When you notice the car slowing down, you immediately take a look out of the window. In front of you is a huge sign that reads ‘Fellhofer’s Orphanage’. Weird name. As the car stops you’re opening the door and stepping out. You can feel the dirty water from the ground splashing your ankles. The driver handles you your suitcase and you walk towards the big entry where you can see two short woman standing and waiting for your arrive. They’re probably the caretakers or something.
The two woman greet you and take you to your room upstairs. The orphanage looks really rusty and old from the inside. On the walls are hanging some creepy and unsettling paintings of old men. With every step you take, the wooden floor beneath you creaks and makes strange noises as if it’s about to collapse every moment.
You arrive at your room and as you open the door a girl with black fizzy hair jumps at you and greets you with a hug. “HIIII OMG I’M SO EXITED I WANTED A ROOMMATE FOR SOOOOO LONG AND YOU LOOK SUPER CUTE TOO”.
“Uhh hiii” you push her away gentle, not trying to seem rude in any way.
“Ohh sorry I always get so exited around new people” she immediately notices your uncomfort.
“Noo it’s okay, really. I’m just not the biggest fan of hugs and stuff like that..”—“I like your hair tho. Looks cute” you’re trying really hard not to stare at her ripped open mouth. ‘Did she do that herself?’ You’re not sure tbh if you love the scarred smile or you think it’s weird but you’ve seen worst, honestly.
“REALLY THANK YOU I LOVE YOU” she smiles at you and looks at herself in the mirror to admire her hair.
————————————————————
After about 20mins of unpacking your stuff the girl ‘Nina’ -you figured out- comes up to you and ask you some weird questions. “Are you scared?” “Are you sick?” “Do you like drawing dead animals?” You always knew you didn’t look nice or extremely approachable but you definitely can’t look that bad right??
“Nina why are you asking me those type of question?”
She just stares blankly at you. For a moment you thought she stopped breathing. There’s a surprisingly comfortable silence between you two for about five minutes. Could’ve been twenty too though you didn’t really pay attention.You were more or less paralyzed by her gloomy eyes.
You sigh “No I am not scared. No I am not sick and aren’t all animals dead if you draw them. It’s not like you could draw the life in them, isn’t it?”
“Yeah you’re probably right. Anyways want me to show you around and introduce you to some of my firends??” She grins at you.
“Sure why not..” Both of you walk leave the room. Nina takes your hand and leads you through the endlessness seeming hallways. She knocks at the first door that appears after leaving your room. She knocks multiple times but no one seems to be in here. You both are standing there for a long minute.
“Hey Nina I don’t think anyone is in there right now, why not-“ she cuts you off. “No he IS in there. JEFF OPEN THE DOOR YOU FREAK.” You hear a sigh from inside the room. The walls are not exactly thick in this building, this is gonna be a wonderful stay.
A tall, lanky guy opens you two the door and gives you an annoying glance. He looks about the same age as you are, probably eighteen or nineteen. He has black hair that reaches to his shoulder with several layers. It’s similar to Nina’s. You find that Jeff and Nina have alot of similarities in general. They both got that ripped mouth, pale skin and dark eyes. ‘Maybe they’re siblings?’ He wears a white tank with black joggers and is -uh barefoot?? His skin has a weird look, it looks like leather but you won’t stare at it for too long, you don’t wanna offend him in any way.
“What do you want huh” he asks with a raspy voice. ‘This guy sure smokes alot’
“Uhh hello?? Can’t you see who I am here with. The new girlll!! Her name’s y/n and she’s super cute and super cool and super nice and not sick or scared.” she grins at him. You’re honestly starting to really like that girl.
“Come on your overdoing it” you laugh it off. Jeff looks at you up at down and you notice his glance stopping at the sight of your bracelets. You didn’t notice it at first but you’ve been playing with them the whole time since you’ve been standing in front of him. And to be honest you are kinda nervous right now. He does seem really creepy and he also kinda smells bad -like he’s decaying.
“Nervous hm..” he asks.
“Uh no?” you’re trying to avoid his gaze and ESPECIALLY his big, black, staring eyes that look like they’ve sunken deep into his skull. This guy would for sure win in a staring contest. And maybe he’ll even kill his opponent with his stare.
“Uhmm okay, so is Toby in here too??” Nina breaks the silence between you three.
“Yeah hold on I think he’s working on something right now, I’m gonna tell him you’re here -with uh the new girl I guess.” Jeff turns his back on you and opens another door, that looks like it’s leading into the other guy’s bedroom, to look for ‘Toby’?
“Sorry he can seem rude sometimes. But he’s also really cute don’t you think so??” you notice Nina blushing and decide to stay quiet on that one and just nod and smile at her.
Jeff returns and behind him you see a slightly taller guy following. He is tall and slim just like Jeff but a little bit more muscular and well -he looks a little bit less like a corpse. ‘Not saying that he looks amazing and healthy’ He has really pale skin, dark eyebags, brown, wavy and fluffy hair, that covers his eyebrows. ‘Looks like he could need a little trim hm’. Brown doe eyes and a part of his cheek is missing? You can see some of his crocked teeth peeking through the ripped skin. ‘What is it with this orphanage and everyone having a ripped open mouth.’ The guy wears a kinda outworn and old looking hoodie with a pair of pyjama pants. And atleast he’s wearing socks.
“Uh hey I’m Toby -fuckk- ugh- nice to me-eet you”
