Well, life shocks you. Like an electric shock, hot and blistering. And so out of the blue! I mean, I would have liked some prior notice. But did I get any? Heck no!
Okay so lets rewind.. lets take it from the top. I was an orphan, found on the doorstep of my parents house on a wet august night. There was a note attached to the cradle I was in. and the cradle was also lined with velvet which had intricate golden patterns on it. This convinced my parents that I was some sort of royalty of some sort. Which irks me. If they were rich enough, why didn't they want me? Anyway the note said, take care of her for she is a special child. Ugh. Why didn't this person want a special child then? They took me in to their home, and have treated me as their own daughter. I was happy with them. Until I turned 13. Oh and by the way, my name is Carolina Esmeralda Harrison. Pretty normal huh? But normal is what im not.
It was an ordinary day. I was at the movies with my best friend Gabriel. Yeah, I have a guy as a best friend. Big deal? I don't feel so. Anyway we were watching this really awesome movie with a lot of crazy explosions and killing. We were munching on popcorn and laughing at the horrible gore in front of us. The movie ended and credits rolled as we got up and made our way outside the cinema. Laughing, he messed up my hair and smiled mischievously. I glowered up at him. Gabriel has beautiful honey brown hair which are in adorable curls around his pale face, grey eyes that "can see through everything but my heart". He has adorable child like dimples and acts younger then he actually is. he waved a hand in front of me. "day dream much?" he asked, smirking. Oops. i chased him along the street, laughing. He laughed too. Soon, we reached my house. "see ya!' he yelled as I entered the house. I waved half heartedly as I turned to face the wrath of my parents. At least I thought it would be the wrath. Cause you see. I wasn't exactly allowed to go watch that movie. "you see, um. Well, whie I was at the shops, getting, um, soya sauce? I kinda… well, it's a funny story.." seeing the looks on my parents face, I sobered up at once. "whats wrong?" I asked. I suddenly felt afraid. I had never seen them like this before….
