The one who lived

the beginning

"Okay class before we get to all the work i'm going to let you know that there is going to be an assignment at the end of the year if you fail it you will fail this class the assignment is going to be about your parents” she said this was one of my worst nightmares i have to write about my parents. Sorry I forgot you don't know, everyone in this small town knows about it, my parents died when i was a baby due to some fire or some war or something i don't know but i was blamed for it. I was praying that i would be let off easy but of course i wasn't “ also Canalla can you do your birth parents it would make it easier to understand what you yourself came from not what you have now” she said making everything I worked for come crashing down i stood up grabbed my book bag and ran out of their and kept running til my legs gave out. Unfortunately it was in front of her house everyone calls her Envy she was out in her garden and saw me collapse she ran over to me “are you ok little sloth” i gave her a curt nod and she helped me up “your the foster kid that the Jonsen’s are fostering right come in i'll make you some tea.When she led me inside there were pictures in frames all over, she must have a big family there are even some humans in her family as she sat me down, i saw a mace on her wall with envy carved into it.

“Want to tell me what's wrong?” she asked and handed me some tea. “don't you think it's weird you're talking about the girl who supposedly killed her parents as a baby and you just met me” I asked. She just chuckled “ well do you” she asked as i shook my head no “well if you don't want to talk about why you are upset what do you want to talk about” she asked i thought about it for a bit “what's your family like” i said and gestured to a picture and she let a soft smile spread across her face. She walked over to it and picked it up and handed it to me “these are my nieces and nephews and grandchildren” i looked at all the mixed races, damn another thing i forgot to mention there are all different races like elves, vampires, demons, werewolves, ghouls, and more but i'm a half-elf. She looked at the clock “your school just ended you must be going home now I’ll tell you about them tomorrow” she said and i left towards the house not ready to deal with Mrs. Veronica, knowing the school called her I only skipped one class but you never know how strict foster parents are and i don't want to be sent back to the facility.

I walked through the door “where the fuck do you think youre doing skipping school Canalla you better have a good reason” that was Mrs. Veronica ,she doesn’t like anyone and would probably fight the gods if she could. “ Apologies Ma'am, one of the teachers said something that caught my attention and I got lost. “ I said “what was so important” she asked “I know nothing about my parents” I said “ well I'm a ... “ i interrupted her “ no my actual parents'' she looked offended “ am i not your real parent” she asked “no my biological ones my teacher said i have to do an assignment about them” I said “well we weren’t told anything about them except their last name since its yours  but why would you want to be a Soturi any way” she said  then it gave me an idea” hey i know this is alot to ask but could i go on an adventure to find out about my past” i asked “ i don't care but if Rain asks you ran away she would be pissed if i let you leave on some mystical adventure to find out about your past like some main character in a story book” she says i hug her and fill my bag with clothes and ran outside and to envy’s house knocked on the door.
