Trust Chapter 2

When we got back to the orphanage ther was no-one in sight. Probably in study hour, and if we were caught...1

I did a motion for El to stay silent and peeked my head around the corned, a cold hand grabbed my neck and pulled me out into the long, cold corridor. Mrs K. 2

"What..on...Earth, do you think you are doing!" She fumed.3

"If an outsider saw you...! Do you realise that you have jepoardised the saftey our everyone! If the townspeople saw you out late, looking such a mess they would shut us down for sure! Is that what you want? Huh?" She stared into my eyes as though she was trying to crawl into my brain.4

I said nothing, I knew what to do. I quickened my breathing, make choaking sounds. An asthma attack. I lulled my eyes slightley and touched teh corner of my eyebrow. I was a secret signal for El, who hadn't been seen by Mrs K. I saw her creep into a door, the study room, unoticed, guilt spreaidng across her face.5

Mrs K thwacked me across the back and I stopped. 6

"You will be on kithcen duty for a month." She spat, joy seeping from her words, she liked to make people suffer. The paranoid devil.7

"Go to your room, no supper." She spun round, making sure her nails scrathced my cheeck, and opened the door into the study room.
