rin stared at her own. "mine's red." she smiled up at him thinking of something. "what if its a gift. for us doing something nice. and they wanted to thank us." she looked at her finger again. "my favorite color is red. if everyone's favorite colors were on the rings, they have to be a present, huh?" she said happily. she stood up on her bed and jumped up and down. "ive been realy good lately so it has to be a present."

"Mine is black my favoret color is green" said Zen, "and i have not been that good, plus if it was a gift then why are we LOCKED in a room with Five strangers?"

rin stopped and plopped down. "oh...well thats true, too" she said sadly and played with the ends of her hair. "than what do you think it could be?" she asked looking at him.

Zen stared at his ring "NO clue i just wish the other will get up so they can say something"

Fred finished the his cigarette and lit another "DAMN YOU GIRL" he growled

rin sighed. "yup. me too." she walked over to him and sat down next to him. "so..."

Melrose
element : air ♥

Blinking her eyes open Melrose yawned and slowly sat up, realizing her surroundings were differnt. "What the.." The girl said, clearly confused. When she stretched and sat up she saw five beds around her, everyone was still asleep besides two others. Rubbing her face sleepily, Melrose felt something on her hand and looked to see a pale purple ring on her finger. The girls confusion continued to grow with each new discovery.

"Hello, Welcome to our jail, I am Zen and This is Rin, the ring will not come off, the door is locked" siad Zen looking the new awaken

Melrose listened to the boy and blinked a few times. She was, trapped?, well this wasnt good.. The girl pulled her knees up and hugged them, staying under her covers. "Where are we.." The voice was quiet and Melrose looked at Zen, her face showed slight fear.

"No clue to be honest" said Zen looking at her great she is crazy he thought.

Melrose frowned and laid back in her bed curling up under the covers. She wasnt a very social girl, and usually kept to herself, even now she was true to herself. Playing with a curl in her hair she sighed and stared at he wall.

"Could you at least tell us your name?" Zen asked getting up and sitting on the edge of her bed

Sam woke up, he was lying in a bed that was far more comfortable than his familiar mattress. That was strange. He heard the sound of others waking up and he stayed silent; pretending he was still asleep. One of them got up and there was the slight rattle of a doorknob. The stranger cursed. A guy's voice. Another female voice also called for her parents in a sleepy yet annoyingly childish voice. Sam decided he didn't like that one. People were so lucky to have parents but so weak, always depending on them for answers. Sam had long ago learned that adults never had all the solutions to everything. The two voices began chatting and Sam moved discreetly to evesdrop. They turned out to be parentless as well. This was another orphanage? Did the caretakers decide to move him to another place so that the parents in this area might pick him? He wondered how they had moved him while he was asleep but decided that it was probably because he fell asleep so late. The others began plotting ways to leave aloud and when they discovered they could not do so, they began to chatt about rings. He didn't need to even peek at his hand as Sam realized the weight of one on his index finger. Opening his eyes he found that it was brown, perhaps it was a donation from some charity. His neck ached, the position he was sleeping was uncomfortable. His leg had fallen asleep and it felt like ants were crawling on the inside of his leg, no more like the static of the tv when the signal was cut off. Sam thought he had to wake up eventually and he sat up; refusing to meet contact with the others. They might've been locked up because they were all unwanted children, Sam didn't want to think about what was going to happen. Getting up, Sam paced the back of the room to recirculate the blood.

rin moved over to the new girl and she smiled wide. "hi! im rin!" she sat on the bed she was on and looked at her with caring eyes. "whats your name?"

Zen saw the other boy stand up "hey wahts your name?"

Melrose felt the boy on the edge of her bed and curled up a bit more. "Melrose...I have no last name.." The girl said softly, and lened up to look at him and the other girl who said her name was rin. "And you..?"

rin smiled when she talked. "like i said...im rin, and this here's zen." she leaned down and pulled the covers off slightly. "its okay, i wont hurt you or anything."

"Sam" Sam replied automatically. Many parents that had come to see him used to say that, then nod and go on to the next kid. Sam's leg felt better and he climbed onto his bed; sitting cross legged. The girl whose voice he heard was Rin, Zen was an older kid and Melrose was the strangely purple haired girl. All orphans if he was to believe their words. No one looked older than him, they all looked thin and young. "How old are all you guys...?" Sam cleared his throat as it camed out a bit cracked. He needed some water. Surely the caretakers wouldn't let them go thristy. Forgetting his question, he walked across to the other side of the room and started banging the doors with his fists. "Hey! I'm thirsty here!" he hollered, hoping that a staff member could hear him.

Melrose blushed and and pulled the covers back. "Im cold..." The girl turned to the older boy named sam and blushed. "Im 15.."

rin nodded at the girl sadly and stood up staring at the other boy. she looked at him for awile, then smiled at him. "well, hello sam!" she walked over and watched him bang on the doors. "im rin and im 14." she smiled proudly. she continued watching him and frowned. "do you think someone will hear, or something?"

Sam shook his head after he has placed his ear to the door. He had heard no footsteps or voices. Turning away from the door; Sam tried to pull his ring off. It was tight and he held his finger up to check if it was turning blue from the lack of blood. The weight was heavier than a normal plastic ring, this wasn't an ordinary toy. Shaking his hand and placing it on the white washed walls, Sam tried to lower the temperature of his hand to see if it was some kind of mood ring.

It didn't turn into a different shade and he gave up. Going back to his bed, he pulled the blanket together and dropped in on Melrose's bed. He went back to the door and began to hit it with his fist. The thumping rhythm against it fell into a slower beat until he stopped. Sam's face showed signs of frustration. Returning yet again to his bed at the other end of the room, Sam began tugging the top mattress off. He stopped to throw his pillow into the face of a sleeping girl by him; another strange haired girl only with a dark blue shade. He tugged it back to the door and with a long pull; Sam managed to get it into an upright position. He leaned against the mattress which now blocked the entrance, satisfied with his work.

"Can I use your beds as well? If we do that, the staff might not leave us alone like this when they find out what we did." Of course, Sam also didn’t want to be the only one for the adults to be angry at and they usually punished girls lightly. He usually also got the same treatment as them or else he would argue against his punishment for sexism. This neglect was also appalling, no breakfast and bathroom; he would die if he remained trapped in room for much longer.

"Um, sure and I'm 16 you?" Zen said staring at Sam then he thought GREAT, I am stuck in here with a hyper active 14 year old, probely a scitzo boy, and a turtle girl, FUCKING LOVELY. "So Sam, Melrose, any ideas on why we can't get these rings off?"

A young women, about 23, sat idoly on a park bench enjoying herself in the nice day. She listened to the birds sing, watched the people go by and enjoied the all around atmophear of the place she was in, it was rather nice. Heaving a small Sigh Anna thought about what she was really sapose to be doing, finding the one's who shair the same abilitys as she and as Fredric. Thats what the company wants, and thats what they will get reguardless of the cost.

Sighing again Anna Stood up brushed her dress off and looked about, Nothing too enteresting really. She was in the center of the park, where their were many people and where no one would make a scean, or dare to make a scean, if an when they came to get her.

The gray haired boy who spoke to him looked down on him as thought Sam was inferior or perhaps a boy in heavy need of medical attention. He looked no older than Sam and was probably his height. Sam knew that he should be friendly towards everyone but all the same, this behavior was too annoying. Giving him a glare, Sam was deciding what to say. Well, so far it appeared that even the help of butter he couldn't slide this thing off, and it was a miracle that someone had managed to cram it on his finger without him waking up. Of course he didn't have a answer, Sam sourly thought, if he did then the stupid bauble would be off his finger already. He opened his mouth and then closed it. His throat was too parched and his voice would probably come out cracked and unimpressive. Instead he shooked his head, raised the finger with the ring up and a waved it. His eyebrows raised to point the out the obvious.
Seeing that no one was willing to forfeit their mattress, Sam sat down and hunched over; feeling defeated and lonely. His head was begining to feel dizzy and his tongue felt like sandpaper. Why hadn't he gone out for a drink yesterday? Getting up he pulled the mattress so that it fell. The doorknob stayed locked and he knew there was no use tugging at it. Please, he thought, someone, no, anyone, let me out! He slammed his fist on the door one last time even though he knew it probably wouldn't be heard by anyone outside. Tired, Sam just loosened the muscles throughout his body and allowed himself to fall. He landed with a thump on the mattress. Staring at the lights at the ceiling, Sam closed his eyes and said in a quiet voice ",someone get me a glass of water."

rin looked at sam in confusion. "i dont think were getting out of here any time soon, and i dont think we will be getting food or water any time soon, so dont waste your energy, please." she smiled happily. "id be happy to offer my matress, if i knew for sure what you were attempting to do." she walked to her bed and sat down. "do you even still need it anyways?" she asked tilting her head at him.

Melrose smiled as the other blanked hit her bed and wrapped it around her, she was always cold and this room was no better then any other. "Thank you.." She said softly to Sam and looked up at Zen. "I once saw someone at the orphanage use melted butter, but i dont think that will help us.."
