More New Kids

 (FIRST OF ALL EVERYONE NEEDS TO GIVE ME THEIR PET PICTURE AND THEIR PET PERSONALITY SO I CAN PUT THEM ON THE PET PAGE)

A loud knock thumped the door and four kids were shoved inside the Greenville Foster Home. Not a word was said as the residents of the foster home paused what they were doing and stared at the kids. Mai was read a book, Drew was jotting something down in a notebook, Emma and Hazel were chatting, Lauren about to go check on her dragon egg, Jade was wrestling with her wolves, and Zac was about to bite into his bologna, cheese, and pickle sandwich. But everything stopped. Then, the doorbell rang and a woman in her thirties stepped inside and almost walked into he kids standing in the doorway. Mrs.Greenwich bustled out of her office and  led the woman into her office with a quick glance at the unknown kids.
"Emma?" Mrs.Greenwich called. Emma looked sadly at her friends and walked into the office. The kids heard a squeal of delight and the woman happily went outside to her car to wait. The kids at the doorway introduced themselves.
"I'm Blake and my brother is Loki." The taller of the twin brothers announced. Loki glared at his brother.
"These are my pets, Juno, Fritz and Alaska." Loki showcased his dogs.
"And this is Sasha, my leopard." Blake followed quickly.
Emma came down the stairs in a mess of tears. Mai hugged her gently and helped her carry her stuff outside. Lauren and Jade followed. The tall blue haired girl introduced herself as Leah and the flame haired boy was Aaron. Then Zac, Drew, and Hazel waved to Emma from the window as  her and Angel were driven away from their beloved foster home.

The New Kids

Zackary sat on the tan couch and stroked Crag. He heard a loud knock at the door. Mrs. Greenwich ran to the door and Zackary turned to watch. She opened the door and there were a man and woman, arms linked.
"Good Morning! Welcome to the Greenville Foster Home, How can I help you?" Mrs.Greenwich launched into the formalities. The woman smiled,
"I'm Carol and this is Joseph, may we come in?" Mrs.Greenwich nodded and let them in. Jade walked in from the kitchen, Shadow and Twilight in her wake. Carol yelped in surprise and asked,
"Why are those in here?"
"Because we allow exotic pets, one of our special characteristics that get us so many visitors." Mrs.Greenwich explained and led the couple into an office. Jade sat next to Zackary and said,
"Who do you bet on this time, Zac?"
"Emma, definitely Emma and Angel." Zac said.
"I think you are right for once." Jade laughed. Zac only nodded. The other foster kids tromped down the stairs, first Lauren and Frostbite, then Alexei and Ivan, then Emma and Angel, finally Mai, Petal, Pyro, Mystic, and Fog. They asked,
"Who's here?"
"A couple, Carol and Joseph." Jade explained and petted Twilight's snowy white fur as Shadow sat on her, obviously to large for her small lap. Twilight yipped happily to Ivan and nuzzled his golden fur in greeting. Angel chuffed eagerly as Mai's cats weaved through her large white paws.
"No! These kids are just weird!" A female voice rang from the office. Carol stormed from the office dragging Joseph with her. Mrs.Greenwich called,
"They aren't weird, just different!" She sighed and turned to the kids gathered on the couch.
"Why are we weird?" asked Mai curiously.
"Your pets apparently make you weird." She gave a weak smile and turned back to her office.

A knock thundered through the night and Emma whimpered in fear. Mai got up from her warm and cozy bed and said gently,
"Don't be scared little one." Mai took Emma's hand and walked down the stairs, Lauren in their wake. Alexei and Zac ran, more like tripped, down the stairs from the boys dorm. Mrs.Greenwich was at the door, she opened it wide. A man is a suit was there, with two kids.
"I'm special agent Kent Kingsley, FBI. These children recently lost their parents and are now part of the Greenville Foster Home. Thank you and have a good night." Agent Kingsley shoved the kids inside, out of the pitch black rain and slammed the door. You could hear the squeal of his tires as he sped away from the large and well furnished Foster Home. The little girl was crying and the older boy, presumably her brother, was clutching her tight. A small bark came from behind them and a beagle with a blue ribbon on it's ear cuddled the young girls legs. A black wolf was standing by the boy. The boy said,
"I'm Drew Frost. My sister is Hazel and her beagle is Rose. My wolf is Jet." Mrs.Greenwich hurried the sodden kids away and ordered the other foster kids back to bed, so they trudged upstairs and curled up in bed like nothing had happened.

 The sun rose and the foster kids ran downstairs for breakfast, and there stood Drew and Hazel with Mrs.Greenwich, waiting for her to finish the pancakes.
