[color=fff200][b]One hour after Fritz' death[/b][/color]
Oralee hides in a corner.  She was only 10, but she wanted to know what was going to happen to them.  She had felt safe with Fritz around, but now that he was gone, there were so many things that could go wrong.  She was scared, yet she wanted to help at the same time.  Growing up with a mother that didn't want her made her mature faster than she should have, and she didn't understand why children could still laugh and play. The solemn little girl brushes her white hair from her face, as she listens to Mary.

“We need to decide what to do now.” Mary spoke to the other orphans. Her voice was still shaky, from fear as much as from sadness. “I know it is hard right now to think about anything else besides grandfather Fritz’s death, but we must talk about this.”  Oralee silently agrees with her.  Fritz was the one that protected them all, and now they didn't have his protection.

“Other gangs will come for us. It is no secret that the only reason they have left this island alone for so long is because they feared grandfather. He defeated them many times and eventually they all stopped trying, but that doesn’t mean that they gave up on it. Now that grandfather is dead it is only the matter of time before some gang decides to stake their claim. So we need to agree on how to react when that time comes.

“Now, I know I am the oldest, but I also know that many of you have been through a lot before coming to the island. I have spent all of my life here and I never had to fight for my survival like many of you did. That is why I am asking you for your thoughts. What do you think we should do now?”

Oralee frowns in thought, her young, yet imaginative mind creating all sorts of scenarios.  She slowly slips away from the corner, a small idea appearing.  She slowly raises her hand. [color=fff79a] "I can create illusions.... Well mirages more accurately..."[/color]
