Tw: Mentions of death and abuse

Y/n's pov:

I wake up in the middle of nothing. It's very cold and I'm very exposed. Yesterday was my 18th birthday, normally the kids who never got adopted were kicked out of the orphanage but I didn't exactly pictured it like this. Where am I?

I look around taking in my surroundings. I'm standing in a big field covered in snow, I can see a forest in the back, and there's a lonely road. Great I'm going to die freezing.

Although I wanted to go to the forest, the best option was to follow the road. So I did that. After some time of walking I started to loose consciousness. My body was numb due to the cold, it felt like my head was gonna fall off. And then I passed out.

*flashback*

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, ALL OF IT. YOU WERE THERE YOU COULD'VE DONDE SOMETHING. YOU USELESS CHILD" *slap* *slap* *slap*

"STOP IT PLEASE"

"SILENCE. HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO- *punch* GET UP" she pulls me by the arm, she pushes me into the basement and locks it.

"Think about what you've done. He would be here if it wasn't for you. And yet you dare to come to me and tell me that you miss him. YOU DESERVE NOTHING. I'm gonna make sure you pay for taking his life" with that she goes away.

"WAIT PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE" I scream while banging on the door.

"I'M SORRY, I AM, I-" I fall to my knees sobbing.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" I say whimpering.

*end of flashback*

I open my eyes expecting to be surrounded by the cold. Instead I'm laying on a fancy large bed. I scan the room, trying to remember how I got here.

The room is huge, it has a fireplace, some couches, a big vanity, what looks like a walk-in closet, it even has a chandelier.

I debate whether I should stay here and explore or try to escape. My thoughts were interrupted by some banging on the floor, getting near to where I am. The door opens and reveals a redheaded woman. She's very tall and elegant, and also a bit scary. She's so beautiful.

"Ms? I'm talking to you" she breaks me out of my daydream. "Oh I'm sorry... who-" she cuts me off.
"My name is Ms Venable, I expect only to be referred to as such. I found you laying on the road so I brought you with me. You were gonna die otherwise so I had no choice. Now who are you?"

"Y/l/n, Y/n Y/l/n" I responded, scared to say anything else.

"Alright Ms Y/l/n, what brings you here to Avonlea?" She asked. I couldn't respond. Avonlea? "What were you doing out in such extreme temperatures?" She tried again. I didn't know what to say.

Finally I asked, "Where am I?" She frowned. "Avonlea, Prince Edward Island". Why does it sound so familiar? Avonlea. I began to feel overwhelmed by this situation. This is a stranger why should I trust her. She will hurt me. I need to leave.

"I should go" I told her while standing up. "Wait" she said. "Do you have a place to stay?" "N-no but-" I replied. "Then you will stay here, you won't even survive a day out there in your condition". I stayed silent. Y/n you don't know her. But something about her made me feel safe. You will just be a burden.

"I don't want to bother you Ms" "I wasn't giving you a choice, you are staying here and that's final". With that she walked out of the room. I start to think maybe this isn't such a bad idea. Although she's scary I don't think she will hurt me. And anything is better than outside. I guess I can allow myself to trust just this once...
