Street Urchins
Four, as the girl was known as, looked at the boy standing next to her. Her stomach was twisted up in hunger and she needed to eat. Soon. It had been a few days since the last time they managed to find some food. Dumpsters outside of restaurants were great places to find something resembling edible, but they were usually chased away before they could really find anything worth eating.

The boy shrugged.

"We have to eat," Four said.

"I know," Ten, as he was called, answered. "There's a building there that looks like a club. Maybe there's something in the dumpster out back in the alley." She was right. They had to eat soon. It had been a week since they escaped from the building that had been their home for the past few months. They had no memories of anything before that.

There had been an /incident/ and the two had managed to escape. Ten had always been curious about the outside world. They had made their way to New Orleans and lived in the streets.

Four and Ten made their way to the dumpster behind the club and started rooting around in it.

	Four's eyes went wide. "Stay? We can't stay. We have to go." If they stayed the bad people would find them. They would take her and Ten back to the place they escaped from. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The men in the white coats," Four said as she grabbed a pudding cup. "They run the place and they will send the men in uniform after us. They always do when we try to escape." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"These men..." said Lyta, searching for the right words to say, "They... harm you in any way? Make you feel unsafe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-06-23 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Four shook her head. "No. They just run tests on us. The soldiers train us. We just wanted to see what was outside the building." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We art not letting these men reclaim them," Argo said. It was clearly not a question. "On mine honor as the Son of Hercules." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-06-23 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"You're safer here than on the run," Corey carefully tells the kids. "Even if they find you, seriously, if Argo and the others say you're not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we shalt free them," Argo declared. "I, Argo, the Son of Hercules, swear this to thee: we shalt not rest until thou art all free." Children being made into warriors without cause or consent. It made his blood boil. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can? I think they would like to be out of there," Four said. "They talked about seeing the outside world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Men in white coats. Guards. Outside world. "Do you know where they are? Can you show us on a map?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-06-23 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	Ten shook his head. "We don't know where it is. We know how to get there and we know what's around it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-06-23 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	Another frown from the Son of Hercules. He had no wish to put these children in further danger. "We... mayest have to rely upon their guidance, I fearest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
