Lunette was an orphan. Ripped clothes and short, messy shoulder length hair from falling all the time, and scrapes on her knees. She never knew who her biological parents were, but she didn't care, she was too busy feeling miserable about herself. All the time, other orphans would come and go, but there she was, always at the orphanage, waiting for someone to take her in, to love her, but she knew that wouldn't happen.
People would come in, and scowl at Lunette. She guessed that the caretakers were talking bad about her to the people that came in, because she would hear tidbits of their conversations, "She's a monster!...disobedient...Weirdo!...Not normal!"
The caretakers were a man and a woman, Martha and Donavin. Martha was round and short. She had curly blonde hair, and a beauty mark or a mole right above her lip. She would always wear this dress, frilly around the ends with lace sleeves, which made her look like she had tea with the Queen of England, but that didn't hide the fact thar she was so cruel. Donavin was tall and slender, but he had a devious look plastered on his face. They looked nothing alike, except for one small factor. Both of them had burn marks on their faces that ran so deep the scars would last forever. How the burn marks were created is something Lunette doesn't want to know.
They always say bad about her. Lunette wanted to snap at them, but that would be proving their words true, so she stayed quiet, although she still had that burning hatred for them.
One day, when Lunette was 13, the caretakers decided it was time to send Lunette to a different orphanage because she wasn't going to get adopted under these circumstances. But she knew that the only reason she was leaving was so Martha and Donavin didn't have to deal with her. That was the day the accident happened. That was the day of the car crash.
All three of them were bunkered into a small Porsche 911 Carrera when, BANG! A bullet hits the car. In pure shock and fear, Martha acts on impact and swerves the car, which wasn't good, because then Lunette slams into the car door, the reason being that the seatbelt in the backseat had broken off long ago.
BANG! BANG! Two more shots were fired, both of them hitting either of the back tires. The car slid and crashed into a group of people walking on the crosswalk. Some got out of the way before it could hit them, leaving them unharmed, but others were not so fortunate.
Lunette didn't care about that, because she was sick out of her mind, and it got even worse. Right after the car hit the pedestrians, it slammed into a short wall, making it do a double barrel roll, finally landing flat upside down off the road, and onto the smooth cement. Lunette was dazed. There was broken glass everywhere, and the car had crumpled down on it's own weight. Lunette felt excruciating pain, and she couldn't see where it was even coming from. She started crying from hurting so much, but that just seemed to make the pain worse. She quickly tried to wipe it away, but her hand brushed up against something in her right eye, something big and sharp. She felt around it, and realized that a piece of glass got lodged into her eye. She started screaming in horror and pain, wishing someone would just save her already. She heard the murmuring noises of people who had witnessed what just happened, but none of them were helping. She wanted to hurt them, for standing by when someone's life was at risk. Lunette had cuts and bruises everywhere from being thrashed around so much.
Then she heard a woman's voice. "Move out of the way! I'm a nurse!" The woman said to someone else "Vince come help me with the girl." Lunette felt herself being lifted out of the car and layed down on the grass. One of the people standing over her, with the same voice of the one who claimed they were a nurse said reassuringly to her, "Hey, don't worry, you'll be fine." The woman said that even though Lunette's whole body hurt like hell. There was another guy standing off to the side, and surely it was the one who had helped get her out of the car, but Lunette couldn't see well, her vision was blurry. Tears in her eyes, a wound in her right eye, all the things that were happening in such a short time made her feel dizzy. The last thing she heard were the sounds of a siren on an ambulance, but before she could see it pull up to the curb, she knocked out unconcious.
