I life there are two different worlds the world. The world of reality which most people live in, and the secretive world of fantasy. My name is Mayella Miller soon to be Mayella Maxwell, but you'll find out about that later. It all started four years ago it seemed like a normal Sunday, but I assure you it wasn't. My mommy told me she would be out for a while she would be back soon she kissed my forehead lightly and left. A few hours passed and she hadn't returned. Suddenly and ambulance rushed into our house with my mom Ina stretcher they laid her down by me and I gasped scared at the condition I had seen her in. Her head was cut from her forehead to her jaw line and her body was covered in cuts. She looked up at me and gave a weak smile "Mayella my daughter I haven't much time left I'm sorry that this happened, but you need to learn to live without me around your father will take care of you well please understand..." She took her silver heart locket off her neck and placed it around my neck "You are stronger than you know, you are beautiful you are kind do not stop being that way don't lose your faith no matter how people treat you have the courage to stand up for yourself and no matter what people say to you you must be kind this will make you stronger...my little girl, when you miss me open the locket and look to the stars and speak to me and I will be listening I promise you..." I began to cry softly seeing my mother in her final moments was hard to see "Even if I'm not beside you I will always love you..." I said quietly "And I you my little girl I will love you no matter how far away I may be" she kissed my forehead softly one last time and died that night I cried myself to sleep thinking about what my mother had said my dad hadn't come home till late and when he did he was not happy with me, not one bit...."
