The Meltdown Of A Frozen Heart

The few remaining survivors were moved to a shelter including me ,we became slaves for them, they would barely feed us as our empty stomachs starved to a falling photosynthesised leaf , then they would torture us until our skin swell out blood . We were basically treated like a herd of sheep, I saw men, women, and children suffering, getting humiliated, there were people dying everyday people that couldn't handle the humiliation some committed suicide.so whenever people die edgers would shred them and make them a snack for their wild animals they keep for hunting.

My people cursed me edgers made fun of me wishing that I die everyday five thousand times for having that smile on my face thinking I'm enjoying it but the fact still remains the same it's a world of unfairness no one can see what's inside you.

Seemingly I was one of the few survivors. Not even five percent remained of the half survivors.

It was my tenth b-day people Above twelve were all executed, the ones remained were all kids between seven and twelve were moved to an orphanage called Rofdox.it was no different from my home it actually reminded me of my dad a place where any mistake could kill you the only memory my dad gave it to me. Edger kids bullied me and called me a weirdo for having that smile on my face all the time .I'd get punished instead of them for making fun of me because I'm a bottom,but I always asked myself Are they brainwashed ? Why does status matter to them so much ? And why us why me? And why can't it be stopped .As it was the breakfast period break time , there's that one edger girl who was getting bullied for literally no reason, even though she was an edger I couldn't handle myself so I stepped up for that girl, I screamed protect, held her hand and ran away to the outside garden. I tried to ask the girl what's your name,A-are you ok? . what were you getting bullied for, but I just couldn't, I wasn't even able to spell one word. She thanked me but saw my lips shivering, so she asked me what's your name, I replied by showing her my creepy ass smile ,she asked what's with that smile? . I couldn't really talk so I kept on smiling biting my lips until they leaked blood. She looked at me disgusted and said I guess you bottoms are all just stupid weirdos ain't needed in this life and she left arrogantly.

Later that night just before bedtime I heard footsteps heading towards me, someone opened the door it was the same girl from earlier today except she was drowning in tears. I got a flashback of my mother's words its not just smile and protect it's smile protect and live. My heart finally realized and found an opening that melted the ice on my tongue,my first words from being silent since one year at last I said:"hey what's your name",she stopped crying and smiled.I had the same feeling as looking into my mom's eyes full of love and embrace,she said:" so finally you decided to talk well my name is 'Emma Dan' nice to meet you what about you sharp teeth".we talked and shared thoughts then laughed and enjoyed our time together.It felt amazing cuz it's been a while since I actually started a conversation with someone. I felt like I was in love for a second though she was two years older than me, after our two hour long childish chat ,both of us had to go to sleep,so l asked her before leaving if you don't mind and asked her why were getting bullied for? She nervously took off a pair of her socks, Emma had six toes on her foot,I started laughing uncontrollably,she said angrily :"why are ya laughing idiot I hate you?I replied:" no no please don't get the wrong idea it's just that I can finally relate", she said :"well I guess you're right and laughed oh my spirits". we wished each other a goodnight and went to bed. It Was the best night of my life, I felt like my smile finally have a meaning my cursed smile disappeared and got replaced by a smile powdered with real feelings.

Now that we are friends, the two of us hanged together all the time, having food break times together ,learning new things together, we even stole food from the kitchen and fed the mice that pass by sometimes in our dorms .she was the one that motivated me to learn new stuff, It felt like I was a normal person for once. there's also that restricted library we used to sneak in from time to time ,we even celebrated each other's birthday. Emma really wanted to learn the Tamil language which is the oldest language on planet earth, so we started learning the language together which felt like an easy peasy task because I'm with the right person ,as time passed other children got jealous we were known as best buds.
