The Orphans (Orphans Trilogy Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Naomi asked the others as Malika disappeared into the thicket of trees. “I have no idea,” Charlie said. He wasn’t as concerned about where she was going as he was about the test. He was keenly aware of how much the other orphans seemed to be improving, and how far behind he was. Naomi had lost much of her edge, Eddie was much more attentive, and both JP and Antony exuded a confidence that Charlie had never seen before. Charlie had done his best to put up a façade as he pretended to keep up with everyone. But he knew that his façade was built with weak bricks and would not withstand even the slightest inspection. After a minute or so, Malika reemerged from the woods, but she wasn’t alone. She carried with her a four-foot mountain garter snake. The snake had a black head, a light yellow belly, and two thick strips of black that ran down the length of the body, separated by a thin white dorsal stripe at the crest of its spine. It slithered back and forth between her hands as it let out a gentle hiss.
