First off I'd like to say that Jesse and Belle are not the main characters, but they are very important. Second oddly enough I got inspired for this by my blog title . Third don't be afraid to be harsh, I just need some helpful criticism -- mean or nice.
Fourth Thank you and ENJOY!

Four rings of the old grandfather clock marked midnight, the old orphanage was silent as every child was fast asleep – or so they thought. A single light floated around the building it’s guild was Old Man Hendrix’s the caretaker, he walked through the halls opening each door and checking every room. Once he was satisfied he went back to bed, as if by clockwork Old Man Hendrix closed his door with a loud click. Jesse Collins had observed this over the months he had been there. He knew to wait fifteen minutes after that click and where to step as he rolled out of the bed, to make sure that the floor didn’t creak.
He silently pulled his packed backpack from under his bed and looked around. None of the other boys were awake, large windows on one side of the room let in the moon light making the room glow with eerie white light. He stood up and crept out of the room. The halls were silent, he made his way to the girls room, Maybelle Collins was a smart little girl so Jesse wasn’t surprised to see her waiting for him outside the girls room.
“Ready Belle?” Jesse asked, the seven year old nodded. “Lets go then.” Hand in hand they quietly raced through the halls.

“Where does this train go Jess?” Belle yawned, it was around noon neither of them had gotten any sleep. It had taken Jesse and Belle to get to the train yard, and now he had to make a fast decision.
“Hopefully south.” Jesse said lifting Belle into the train car. He threw his backpack in and jumped into the train car just as it began to move. “Belle? Are you hungry?”
Jesse turned around, and saw Belle fast asleep on a bag of grain. Jesse just had to laugh, he finished closing the car door and found a comfortable spot to sleep.
