I was eleven at the time it all started. I lived in an orphanage in London, England since the day I was born. My name is Elise. Others kids greatest fear is not having a family, my greatest fear was having one.
"I'm coming!" I roll my eyes down with my journal in one hand and my books in the other.
As I walked down the stairs I see a strange looking woman with black hair with a red tint on her bangs. Her eyes we're bright blue and her smile seemed a bit off to me. I don't know how to describe it but the way her teeth where so perfect and white just didn't look right with the rest of her face.
We both shake hands. Her hands feel cold like she was holding an icepack in her hand. As the woman started signing the forms and my birth certificate I knew right away what I came downstairs for.
If I'm getting a mother please don't give me one that could give me nightmares when I sleep.
"Hi my name is Sierra and you must be..."
"Elise.."
And if you're getting me a mother please give me one that cant remember my name.
I try to hold a smile.
"Such a beautiful name!"
"Okay...well I'm going to go get some stuff."
We both nod and I head upstairs. I don't know I feel about this. Not that I don't think having a mother is cool and all but I'm not sure.
Do I want a mother? A family?
