London, April 27th, 1721

Strikes of light lit up the room when Elizabeth woke up, she opened her eyes and was greeted by the ceiling of her plain room, she groaned a little to the familiar pain in her backbone, her bed wasn't big enough to support her wings so each morning she woke up with a dull ache

She sat up and spread her wings to stretch them, she felt a few bones crack in the process, she let out a soft yawn as she also stretched her arms, she turned to let her feet fall on the cold wooden floor, she stood up and walked across her plain room to the wooden vanity, once she opened it the pulled out a simple blue gown with ruffled puffs and two slits on the back

She puts on the gown and reaches behind her to button the slits together, he mother sew her these dresses especially for her so her wings won't make her uncomfortable, Elizabeth felt very grateful for her mother, she's very caring despite her being born different than all the other kids, and she loved her very much

Her father however, he's not as sweet and caring as her mother, he was very angry and violent towards Elizabeth and sometimes her mother, and when Elizabeth was younger, her and her parents discovered her sensitivity to iron, due to the fact that it burns her skin

Her father sometimes used that if she misbehaves, making her hold iron objects, so she tried to be good the best she could

Once Evelyn slipped one her shoes she opened the door to head to the kitchen, where she found her mom who was facing the stove

"Good morning mother" Elizabeth told her mother, her mother jumped a little and turned around to see her daughter

"Elizabeth you startled me" she began with a hand on her heart and warm smile "good morning sweetheart, your father already left for the mines"

She smiled at her mom as she walked towards her, her mother put her arms on her shoulders, dragging them down to her hands, she took Elizabeth's hands on her own, she looked at her hands

"They've grown back" her mother said softly, examining Elizabeth's nails

"I had just cut them two days ago" Elizabeth told her mother

"Well make sure you cut them before your father gets home, you know how he gets about this things" her mother said with her usual soft and sweet voice, Elizabeth nodded then left the kitchen and went back to her room

Elizabeth was in her room, she was filling her nails down with sand paper, when the sound of laughter filled her hears, she quickly rushes to the boarded window, looking through one of the cracks, she saw a family walking through the street, a man a and a woman, a tall girl with brown hair, a younger boy with a grey jacket, a a little girl with golden blonde hair, she was wearing a soft pink dress and was carrying a stuffed bunny

Elisabeth smiled at the sight in front of her, a happy family, she wished her family could be like that, but unfortunately she wasn't allowed to go outside, all of her life she has spent inside the house, her parents had told her what would happen if people see her, they're would accuse her of being a witch, and they would execute her

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the front door slamming shut, soon after that yelling could be heard from outside her room, Elizabeth recognized her father's screams almost immediately, mixed the the cries of her mother, she got up and ran to the door, she pressed her ear against the door to her the commotion
