Chapter 1- foundling hospital

Hi my name is Dahlia Emerald, and I like to keep a diary in a secret compartment in my celling with all of my letters from my mamma . I never get to see her for she had to leave me, at the boring foundling hospital when I was very little. I had a foster family, Eve was my favourite one. She would always include me when I felt lonely and she would even listen to me when I felt very sad or when I am thinking about mamma . Not like Kinsley at all , he would be so mean to me he had put chewing gum in my beautiful fiery red hair. After I had had a wash as well. That evening I got so told off even though it wasn't me, it was him. I tried and tried to tell them, but I was told that i shouldn't be blaming this on their kids.

"Just because you come from a foundling hospital doesn't mean that you can blame everything on my kids! Do you hear me Dahlia?" screamed my foster mother. Infact not close to a mother to be truthful.

"Probably not anymore after that scream she did." I whispered to Eve.

She chuckled, and then we got sent to our room .The next day I got a hair cut as I still had the chewing gum in my hair . I got it cut washed and dried. We bumped into a boy on the way back, he was the butchers boy he said last week he would get me a Dahlia because my name is Dahlia Emerald. My dear mamma chose it for her favourite flower is a Dahlia and her birth stone is an emerald. The only bad thing is that I don't know where or who my dear papa is. My mamma will not tell me who he is or where he lives, but I do know that I have a half sister. She is called Tessa she is only two years younger than me and she was lovely but now I only get to see her a couple of times as I am in the foundling hospital and siblings are not allowed to see each other as it is against the rules here at the foundling hospital. I don't get it how we are not allowed outside, all of the boys don't have to do what we do, it is so annoying so my dear brother Gideon gets to do what he wants.
