Welcoming

The narrow path to the orphanage home was indeed pleasing sight to behold, I mean you can only find it pleasing if you have undergone what James and Jenny had gone through. From invisible hands taking them to their car, to the mystery child in adult body. They sure hell had seen enough the previous night. Back home, Frank will be looking after his other four brothers, even though they are not children anymore but as the oldest amongst them in the J's family, his responsibility is to ensure everyone is safe. He made sure that the room was properly prepared for the young girl they are welcoming to the family and as well ensure she has food to eat.

James and Jenny alirted the car and got into st Mary's orphanage looking for Zyana their patron. They headed towards the cushion beside the female rooms so as to sit and wait for Zyana whom they already discussed with about possible adoption of a girl. Just then, they saw a very young lady dressed in black, curious and yet amazing. She looked half African and half Asian, her face is full of sadness but she was quite smart judging by the way she walks and carry herself. She immediately caught the attention of James and Jenny and they beckoned on her to come. what's your name? Jenny inquired and she gave her a response that her name is Lucy, they observed her well before letting her go. She smiled at them but her eyes was quite dark like one of those creatures they witnessed a night before. still filled with thoughts, in walks Zyana who took them to her office to hold an indoor conversation.

As the sun shines, Lucy picked a spot where she could do her rituals, then she came across a young boy at the corner of the hall, she walk up to him but before the boy could turn and see who was headed towards her, Lucy was no where to be found. She would tip toe closest to him and then vanish, she would then make his books to start closing up, when the boy became scared he wanted to run but the doors where closed. He could see a knife stained with blood but cound not see the carrier, then suddenly he saw a very sad doll with weird sound singing something like " tin tin ta ta", he tried getting closer to the doll but then again he saw a moving shoe without a body on it, then aggressive fear kicked in and as he was trying to shout, something quite heavy struck his head and he instantly collapsed. Lucy could hear the voice of his master telling her " Weldon, now prepare for feast!!!". She dragged the younger boy and vanished.

James and Jenny were given series of pictures to pick from, mostly African, Asian and mixed. They longed for the young girl they saw earlier but did not see her pictures, determined as they were, they started checking the pictures over and over and over again yet no trace of her face. What they failed to realize was that the little girl Lucy has changed her face oftentimes, she would ditch a host and take on another one, the most important thing to her is to inflict pain.

James and Jenny decided to take a day more to look for the young girl before leaving st. Mary, they used the opportunity to rest, to talk about how best to raise the girl, which room she would stay and what kind of dress she would wear.
