Taking My Revenge

Chapter 15 - A True Hero

"Seriously guys?, You don't have to come with me on the orphanage, I can handle myself" I said as we drove to the orphanage.

After my confession about my past, my best friends want to be with me whenever I go.

Maybe they are worried, Now I decided to visit my old friend and the orphanage As they insist to come.

" Here we are" I told them as we arrived.

" Finally" Peter responded as he make his way out and walk through the orphanage gate.

Nancy and I followed as we all having a little bit of conversation as we reach the door inside, to be greeted by the new head, Ms. Malorie.

She's the Daughter of the old head who manage the orphanage, after she died her daughter decided to take over the position.

I wouldn't disagree on her becoming the new head. As she is reliable and sweet on handling those homeless child, she take care of them with love.

" what pleasure do I owe the visitation of one of my favorite person?" Ms. Malorie said as she hug me and smiled.

I chuckled for the way she speak.

"Nothing special Malorie, I just want to see you and those children? How are you? Are they good?" I asked and raise my brows

"Oh, by the way this two here is my best friends, the one I've been talking of" I said as I gestures Peter and Nancy on both of my side, as they smiled.

" Oh!, Glad to finally meet you" Ms Malorie said as she stretch her hand to Peter.

'" you must be Peter" she said and they both shake their hands.

" And you?, I'm pretty sure your Nancy right? , Happy to meet you Nancy" she said as she hug Nancy and throw her mischievous smile at me that makes me roll my eyes and she giggled.

" How'd you know us" Nancy speak as she pull her self from the hug.

"Like Kathy said, she's always talking about you guys. So , why don't we take some coffee or snack inside? I'm sure kids will love having all of you to play with" Malorie said as we nodded.

We walked inside as I notice the changes they made on the house.

The old ceiling is now made with beam and the new windows parallel to the design of ceiling, as we noticed the old pictures and artifacts they displayed inside.

Everything inside the house, makes me feel nostalgic.

It's been awhile since I come here.

We turn on another corner as we reach the room where all the kids are playing.

Malorie knock the door to get their attention.

"Listen kids, we have visitors today, guess who?" Malorie said as she open the door widely and we enter the room.

"Kathie!!"

"Yey, its Kathie, awesome!!."

"Can we play?, I had a new toy that Ms Malorie gave" they all said in unison as they run into me.

I just laugh at them, as I sit and kneel in front of them so we can be level.

"Hi there too, did you all miss me?" I said as I tap their heads and they nodded.

"Then!" I said and stand.

"Let's start to play!!" I said in my cheerful voice.

"Yey!!!!!" They said as they jump in excitement, and run out the door to our obstacles area that I made for them.

" Wow, how come we never know that you had quite some fans here?" Peter said as he followed the children outside and I giggle.

" You seems having fun!" Nancy said as she smile.

"I am" I responded.

Ms. Malorie excuse herself to prepare some snack as we all three played with the kids.

We have quite some fun completing the puzzle, making some race, and creating a team for the obstacles.

The afternoon is full of laughter, and teasing on each group.

Peter seems not getting along with some kids , as some of them challenge him for a race.

But in the end he let the kids win and they got closer.

It's good to have this kind of moment sometimes, I thought as I look at everyone's happy faces.

I sigh in contentment.

"Something wrong?" Nancy asked as she sit beside me.

"Nah, I'm just. Happy, that's all" I said and smile.

"Well, you should" she said in high tone as she Chuckle and put her arm on my shoulder.

"Yeah" I said and Look towards the children that are still playing.

----

After some hours, the children got tired and some of them take some nap, while the other are resting under the three near the orphanage, some are on the bench.

Ms Malorie gave us some snack.

After that Nancy and Peter take some rest together with the children under the tree, telling them some stories.

I just look at them with miss Malorie beside me, as shes checking the children.

" Malorie, I'll just take some visit to my old friend. Will you informed Peter and Nancy if they asked about me, I won't take a while" I said.

" Sure is Kathie, No problem" she responded and I take my leave down to the woody part of the forest near the Orphanage.

After half an hour I reach my destination and sit near the grave stone.

I put some flower and look to my friends name engrave in his stone.

" It's been a while, sorry that I haven't visit you for the past few days" I said

" How are you?, I hope heaven has a good accommodation like people tell" I continue.

Kathie just stare at the stone as she remember her friend.

When Kathie started living on the orphanage Angelo is the only friend she consider, he's an ally as other kid make fun of her.

They become buddy for a short time that he lived.

Not until the fire incident who claim her friends life..

Since that day Kathie hate how the worlds work, as if, its against her happiness and that she's destined to be alone.

But it changed as she meet her dad's

But she will never forget Gelo, his a good person.

" Do you think telling them the truth is the right decision?" Kathie asked

Even Kathie hasn't receive a response, somehow she felt comfortable just by talking with his friends, just like the old days when the boy will listen to her runts.

Kathie chuckle with sadness as she remember punching Angelo after it laugh in one of her story.

" Why are you laughing?"

A sudden voice said as Kathie jump a little in surprise.

She stand and turn her head as she saw Sam.

"Sam?" Kathie asked.

"Yes?" Sam answered and she walk to Kathie, and put a flower on Angelo's grave.

" How did you find me?,and this place?" Kathie asked in confusion.

Sam look at Kathie as she smile.

" I wasn't looking for you Kathie, I just want to make some visit for my hero " Sam answered as she pointed the grave.

"Hero? " Kathie asked again

"Yes, before the fire, Angelo save me from the room where I get stock. He help me to escape, but it was painful that he died, so after the incident I occasionally visit his grave to give him my respect" Sam answered.

"So what about you?, How'd you know him" this time Sam ask.

"His my friend way back when I'm still living on the orphanage, his my buddy" Kathie said

Sam felt surprise. She doesn't know that Kathie and Angelo are close friend, the two person who help her survived from the fire.

"I'm sorry" Sam said as she lower her head.

"No" Kathie said

" You didn't do anything wrong, it's angelo that were talking, his a good guy, and will do anything to help other people even if he knows that his life is at risk, his a true hero" Kathie added and smiled.

Sam just look at Kathie as they continue talking with each other.

Kathie tell the story about Angelo and how they become friends.

The lady seem to lost track of time as her phone receive a call and Nancy found them.
