Chapter Two: Letter Two
Dear Misunderstood,
Your owl is positively beautiful, I've been seen anything like it before. All black and regal, it was the sweetest bird. I hope Dither is just as nice, but usually he's not. He's my new owl; my parents brought him for me when I passed all my O.W.L's.
In your last letter you wanted to know something about me that no-one else knows, that's a hard one ink splotches on the parchment
Sorry, my quill leaked when I was thinking of what to write. Um, something no-one else knows about me. No-one knows that when I was eight I once climbed to the top of our house (its four storeys high) and I was going to jump. Not to kill myself or anything, but just to jump, just to see what it was like. I guess you must think I'm pretty demented now.
You said your father had picked out your life, but you don't want that anymore. I'm curious, what do you want?
Yours,
Undiscovered.
Undiscovered,
Sorry, this letter is so scratchy; I'm hiding in the attic to write this to you. Father is in a terrible rage, he saw Dither coming in the window. He wanted to know to whom I was writing. I lied, sorry. I told him it was an old friend from school. He believed me.
I couldn't bear if he knew about you; I don't want to risk losing this. I know we haven't talked a lot yet, but just waiting for your reply, it was such a… I don't know, such a great feeling. It was a hope.
I'm sorry I can't answer any of your questions, I don't presently have time. But I did not want you to think I wasn't replying.
Write to be soon, I promise to elaborate next time.
Yours,
Misunderstood.
