"Liz! get down here. You have a package."
"Coming", I yell back. I gently set down my book ,because books are life, and run down the stairs. I never get packages. I hope it's a package from a family member. or something about one. you see I never met my parents. I've been living in an orphanage for almost 13 years. and I don't know anything about my family. I've been searching for years and I haven't found a single thing.
Anyways, I stumble into the kitchen and snatch the small brown box from miss. Aitseh. She's a nice lady with fiery eyes and a warm heart. She gives me a quick smile and opens the door to go outside. at first I'm shocked. she never let's me go outside. Apparently there's to much danger. In ever get to leave without supervision. Everyone else does. I think it's connected with my family history. I take the chance and go out into the cold October air shivering as the door closes with a creak. I carefully examine the cardboard box. there's no address or names. Damn it. I carefully remove the tape and peer inside. all I see is a piece of paper and a small object. I pick up the thing and examine it closely. its a silver charm bracelet with 4 charms. there's a trident, an owl, a wolf and a skull. Strange I thought. Then I read the note. It says "prepare" and that's it. But what am I supposed to prepare for?
