.

When the creature said that her "family" were worried, she could not stop bitter memories from filling her mind.

Flashback

The word "family" was a special word for her and at the same time something very sad. And how could it not be when a family is what an orphaned girl hopes for the most.

She always used to dream that a couple would come to adopt her and take her to her new home where she would have a loving mom and dad, that they would take her to school and pick her up, and she would tell them about her day and her parents would congratulate her for behaving well and having new friends, all that and many more things thought the little girl that everything would be rainbows with lots of unicorns.

If only she had not wanted so much to be adopted, it is not bad, but it is bad when the wrong people do it, and if it was like that her desire for a loving and sweet family came to nothing.

Mr. and Mrs. Patterson when they came to the orphanage in a black limousine, out of such a car came to a stoic-looking couple in their 40s Mr. Patterson was tall and slender with little brown muscle and blue eyes, he examined every detail of the orphanage quickly with some displeasure at just having to step in the doorway.

On the other hand, Mrs. Patterson was a little plump with a lot of red lipstick and a frown on her face as soon as she came out and she knew that she was complaining to her husband for bringing her to that kind of place, her husband did not even mind her complaints and advanced to the door to knock on the door and Sister Maria was the one who opened it and welcomed them with a cheerful smile very characteristic of her and they entered the establishment.

The whole spectacle was seen by a 6-year-old girl with light blue eyes, silky black hair with some waves, and a slight tan that with too much naivety thought they would be good people, and as she thought that day she was adopted by this strange couple.

Only to find out that she would be the replacement for the one-time daughter.

Where all her dreams came crashing down because as soon as she stepped into that big mansion everything went downhill with her boring private lessons of etiquette, dancing, music, singing, fencing, everything a young lady should know according to Mrs. Patterson, so were her first years then Mr. Patterson taught her finance, politics, mathematics, history in order to manage the family business.

She had no time to have fun, no time to be a child, it was all discipline protocols and boring rules.

The first years were difficult because she lacked a lot of education, but she put all her effort to learn and to make her parents proud of her.

It was on her 16th birthday that everything went downhill when she heard from her parents that she was just a replacement for their late daughter and that's when a once sweet heart became cold and empty it all happened on an autumn afternoon the leaves of the trees were slowly falling leaving them bare, as well as her soul in sync with the season.
