The Girl

The Day

It was a dark and stormy night. No, just kidding, it wasn't. It was a bright, breezy and cloudless morning, and the cries of a newborn rang throughout the small village. Inside one of the smallest houses, a baby had just been born. The mother's 12 other children were clowning around in the snow outside, not giving their new sibling any notice. They were all boys, and this baby was her first girl. This girl was the 13th child of a boy dominant family, so naturally, she was to become her mother's favorite. She was extremely excited to have the girl she had always wanted. The girl was screaming longer than any of the other children. She was born twice unlucky, with 12 older brothers, and being the 13 child. There was something strange about this girl, but no one was sure what it was. Her name was Aurora Rose
