Woman In White

There are four room for orphans, on Saint Louis' orphanage. Four orphans have share in each room.

While there are four rooms for the nuns and in each room, two of them have to share.

All together there are eight nuns, and 16 orphans.

"Wake up girls, it's breakfast time," sister Rae stated with a smile drawn on her lips.

From that, Rose, Reina, Risk and Roux went out of bed.

They are used of it, waking up early in the morning, they would have breakfast, take a bath and go to the chapel to pray.

They will then have their class, two subjects then lunch.

In the afternoon they have their free time. Yes, they can do whatever they want.

The once small land became huge because of 'the kindest man' — that's what the nuns call Mr. Fynix.

Mr. Fynix is crazy rich, though he remained so mysterious, he give gifts to the orphanage, he pays for everything to be honest, but what they question the most is why he always looks for one orphan — Rose.

He would always ask, whenever he visits. He will ask how is Rose, if she is doing good in her class, if she is healthy.

Some nuns even wonder if, maybe just maybe Mr. Fynix is somehow related to Rose.

"Hey Reina," Risk called Reina whose eating her breakfast.

From that call, Reina turned her gaze to Risk and gave her a 'yes?' look.

"Let's go out after lunch. Let's go to the woods," Risk offered with a smile drawn on her lips.

Reina bit her lower lip and think.

'It wouldn't hurt going out right?'

Reina asked herself, you see, our girl Reina doesn't love going out. She prefers reading in the library the whole afternoon than being outside the sun and bathe with her own sweat.

She would wear her socks and sweater and read maybe a book or two accompanied with a cup of cold chocolate.

"Yeah sure, I guess that would be fun," Reina answered but deep down, she knows she wants to read.

"Yay!" yelled Risk taking the attention of everyone in the canteen.

Risk raised her hand three fingers down. She is giving everyone a peace sign with a half smile painted in her lips.

She then turned her gaze to Reina who is containing the laugher inside her.

Risk mouthed, 'what?'

Reina smiled at her and said, "Nothing, anyway I'm done, I'll go to the classroom."

Reina smiled and left the table.

As she walk to her room she encounter Sister Odia and Rose, murmuring to each other as if what they are talking about is a secret.

The young girl was curious of course. She went down to her knees and untied her shoes, and tied it again just so she could here what the two are talking about.

She didn't hear what the two are talking about that much but what there is this word her ears caught — magic.

Reina had goosebumps.

'Is Sister Odia a — nevermind, that isn't possible.'

Reina asked herself, as she set foot in the classroom.

The class started and Reina's mind was nowhere to be found. All her attention was drawn to Sister Odia's words.

"Reina, kindly answer number four," the teacher called Reina for she have noticed Reina isn't listening to her lecture.

"Reina," her teacher again called her name.

"Reina," her teacher called her for the third time and finally she caught Reina's attention.

"Yes sister Roux?" Reina asked.

"I said, answer number four, quickly now."

Reina then went out his seat and reached the chalk that sister Roux handed her.

The subject is science, it was about cellular respiration. She knows this one.

She is a clever little lady, she excel in every subject except for history.

The question was ; what is the equation for cellular respiration?

Reina then took a deep breath before answering the question.

'C⁶ H¹² O⁶ + 6O² + 6CO² + 6H²O + solar energy' is what she written on the board and sister Roux smiled knowing that even Reina doesn't listen to her lectures she knows that Reina can excel in her subject.

'What a clever girl'

Sister Roux spoke in her mind as Reina hand her back the chalk and goes back to her seat.

The class then continued as well as Reina's mind being clouded by her thoughts.

In the middle of Math class, Reina sigh, and sigh and sigh. She can't relax.

History class, her head then ached, so she asked her teacher if she could excuse heralded and her teacher said yes.

Instead of going back to her room she went to the library with a pillow on her left hand, a blanket on the other.

She fell asleep in the sofa peacefully.

Reina awoke because of the noise that invaded her eardrums. She then took a deep sigh. She was sleeping peacefully then someone would ruin it?

She went out of the sofa and followed the noise.

As she slowly walks she can feel something cold, she can feel someone following her as well, but when she turned back there was nothing.

She took a deep breathe and continued walking.

Reina then came across a room, in that room she saw Rose and Sister Odia, Rose's eyes were glowing it was white.

'She is floating?!'

Reina spoke in her mind, nervous she run back, but before she could she was blocked by a woman in white, she has the same aura as — Rose.

But she is older than her, she is bigger, taller but she looks so much like Rose.

"Who are you?" Reina asked the woman in white.

"No, who are you, Reina?"

Reina awoke, she was dreaming.

Risk is infront of her. Nervousness is painted all over Risk's face.

"Finally, you're awake," Risk stated and took a deep breath after.

"What happened?" Reina asked.

"You were screaming something, I don't know what that is but, I think its a language only, you know?" there was hesitation on Risk's words.

Reina stood up and rest her back on the sofa. She remember her dream clearly, but she didn't finished it.

'Dang it'

She said in her mind.

"Anyway, I'm going out now, I think you need a rest."

Risk left the room and she was left there all alone.

She took a deep sigh, and another, and another until she couldn't help it anymore.

"I need air," Reina said to herself.

She went into the woods, in the hope she'll find Risk on the way.

Her eyes wandered but there seems to be, no traces of Risk.

She was about to turn back when she heard someone calling her name.

"Reina," a woman so voice invaded her eardrums.

"Reina," Rose uttered while sister Odia is working on how to open Rose's eyes.

"Who is that?" Reina asked, she is catching her breath, nervous.

"Reina," she was called again.

"Reina," Rose uttered her name again and this time, Sister Odia was curious.

"What will Reina open in your life my Rose?" Sister Odia asked and shook her head.

Sister Odia raised her hand and then she saw it.

She saw what Reina truly is!

A lone tear escape Sister Odia's eye.

'No, this can't be'

She said to herself.

She woke Rose from her spell and erased, what should be erased.

Reina waited for a response but no one did. She was talking to the air.

'Am I imagining things?'

Reina asked herself, and when she turned, she saw the woman in the white cloak.

"Hi Reina, it is I, Rose, from the future."
