Her reign

Chapter 1

ADELAIDE

I don't know how to control it. Everyone around me seems to be scared by now, although truthfully I'm scared myself. I don't know what is wrong with me- it's like whenever I'm around something strange happens, not necessarily bad, nevertheless scary for people around me and myself. Yesterday, for instance, I was really angry at my roommate and when we were at dinner her porridge blew up. I don't know how it happened- i don't know if i did it, but i'm going to NEED answers soon because it has been getting worse. No one really talks to me anymore and the people who do, treat me differently, almost as an animal they're afraid of. That's not even half of it though- if they knew about my internal darkness I bet they would never talk to me again, nay they wouldn't come close to me again. Because inside there is an unceasing battle, a battle of light and dark. It seems as if the dark is always one step ahead and about to win, though it hasn't yet been able to. It's been getting harder to push the bad thoughts and feelings away, into deep corners of my mind, as it seems the people around me are testing me everyday.

"Adel, it's time for dinner," a girl, my roommate, opened the door to tell me. "Be right there," I answered in a cold tone. Susy has been pissing me off lately.

Walking over to the dining hall, Adelaide kept her demeanor calm and collected, her face expressionless and cold. She didn't want to attract attention to herself, for she was definitely not among the popular girls in the orphanage. She had dinner and went back to her room. Dinner was nothing interesting for her for she had no interest in food and ate just to keep herself alive, not for pleasure. She did nothing for pleasure truthfully, because nothing she did brought her any good emotions or excitement. Her entire life she spent waiting to get out of the hell people called an orphanage. She hated it there- the teachers, the kids, the treatment she got, her whole life she was hoping for a new start somewhere far away from her so-called "home". As she knew, she didn't have any family, both of her parents being dead. There was no way for her to make a living in the world: with no money, no family, no connections-nothing. However, she didn't know that yet. For now she was a naive teenager of fourteen years, who thought that in four years she would leave her "home" for a better life, she was confident that her life would radically change in the way most pleasing to her.

Adelaide went to bed that night assured that tomorrow would be exactly the same as today, therefore she knew she had nothing to worry about as she fell into a slumber in no more than ten minutes. She slept tightly throughout the night, no visions clouding her head.
