Hi everyone! I'm finally back with the next chapter which I was worrying would never happen as my laptop decided to break a week ago when I was planning to upload a new chapter and my dad has literally only just repaired it for me. As it is I've got a mountain of GCSE homework that needs to be doing and my laptop could die again at any minute so I'm sorry that this chapter is extremely short but I hate leaving this story for too long! :D
Chapter 6:
Aldara. That was all she knew about herself other than she was an orphan. She could remember barely anything from her infant years when she may have known her parents. She could vaguely remember a woman that she had come to guess was her mother...something about a dragon...and then someone had brought her to the orphanage where she had spent the remainder of her childhood days shut inside doing all the things that the owner, Ms Clarkson, couldn't be bothered to do. she didn't know what had happened to the people from her memories and even though she would spen hours at a time straining herself to remember she would still recall nothing more...apart from...apart from a song...a song she remebered someone singing to her...it might have been her mother but she couldn't be sure. She'd close her eyes at night and when she thought really hard she could just about recall the sound of the woman singing to her. She wanted more than anything to remember the owner of that voice and to know who she was. The only world she knew of was the orphanage where she lived and the only other people were the other children.
It was on her eighteenth birthday that she finally got an oppotunity to see what the outside world was really like. Ms Clarkson grabbed her by the back of her dress and dragged her out the front door while shouting at her.
"Out out out OUT!" Yelled the old woman
"B-But Ms Clarkson where on earth will I go?!" Asked Aldara
"I DON'T CARE! JUST GET OUT YOU WORTHLESS BRAT!"
"But where will I go?"
"Fine! Take the path down to the left which will lead you to the village where you can get a dead end job and live out the rest of your worthless life in misery!"
Aldara sighed and walked out through the gates to the orphanage and heard the large oak doors slam shut behind her.
"Go left...What is there for me to the left?...Absolutly nothing. But to the right..." She looked longingly at the forest off in the distance and in that moment an image flashed into her mind. She was running through the trees and bushes accompanied by a laughing woman; but as quick as this image had come it was gone. She shook her head. "Maybe that place holds the key to my past" She said thoughtfully.
She shrugged and ran off down the path to the right. If there was any chance whatsoever that this place held answers for her she would risk everything she had, which wasn't much. If there was some way that she could possibly unlock her past she could finally discover who she was.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to upload the next chapter (hopefully soon) because of my increasing homework and I'm not at all sure how much longer my laptop will decide to work for so please be aware that I may be unable to write due to my laptop breaking or my homework becoming to much for me. Remember to leave a review to let me know how I did cuz I love hearing from you all!
Bye for now! :D
