Daughter of a Myth

Chapter 1

~Backstory~           

         My name is Willow as of right now I'm 11 years old.  I have been an orphan my whole life.  When I was born my mother died, and then my father left me.  He left me in front of the orphanage for them to find me with only a note.  The orphanage owner came and found me crying at the front door.  She brought me in and took care of me.  All the other kids laughed at me because me parents left me at the front with noting but the note.  The note told them what my name was, and that my mother died, and my father couldn't take care of me but he wishes me the best.     

~Current Life~

I woke up, and since I'm an orphan I only had three or less outfits to wear.  I picked out my nicest thing I had.  Yesterday the orphanage owner told us a lady was going to come and take a look and us and if she liked one of us she would adopt us.  Once we were all dressed everyone raced down stairs.  She was going to be here any minute she we raced.  I was last due to being pushed to the floor by everyone.  Once I got down stairs we all sat at the table in a polite and nice manner.  

She walked in and we all looked at her.  She has brown curly hair that reaches to her waist, and her eyes were hazel.  She was wearing a teal strapless dress with black sparkles on the top. 

"Hello kids my name is Mary" she said

"Hello" we all said.  She began to walk around looking at us all.  She came over to me and stopped.  She looked down at me with her eyes sparkling.  

"What is your name dear" she asked

"Willow" I said 

"Well would you like to come with me to my house." she asked

"I would love that" I said smiling.  All the other kids looked at me shocked that she would ever choose me to come with her.  She lead me outside after I gathered my stuff.  When we got outside she got in her Mercedes CLK 350.  We drove in silence with her occasionally asking me questions.

When we got to her house I was speechless.  It was a two story house that had an amazing walkway.  There were trees making a canopy over it.  The house it self was a old fashioned yet modern house.  There were bricks, it had big windows in the front that connected.  There was a glass sunroom that had a couch, chairs, a table.  

"You can go inside you know" Marry said.  I ran inside only to be more stunned.  The first thing that I saw was a spiral staircase leading upstairs.  To the right of it there was the front room.  It had a big flat screen TV, and red chairs on either side of the couch.  There was a coffee table in front of the couch.  Mary came in before I could look around more.  She walked over to me.  

"Willow i'll get show you, your room if you want" she said.  

"I would love to see it" I said.

She lead me up the spiral staircase, and into the last room.  We entered and it was amazing.  There was a red, and black bed.  There is a dresser, and a bedside table that has a light and a laptop.  There was a window, to the right of the window there is a dark wood bookshelf in the shape of a tree(picture at top, only dark brown).  There were a few books on it but not a lot.  The walls were a silvery color.  There was also a door to the left of the bed that was the bath room.   

"Omg, thank you so much." I said to her 

           "you'r welcome do you like it." she asked

"Do I like it.  I love it." I said giving her a hug

"I will see you tomorrow, sleep well.  Good night." she said leaving and shutting the door.

I headed to the bathroom to see what was in there.  I looked through all the drawers to see what and off there was anything in them.  I found nothing so I headed into the bedroom, and got my pajamas on.  Once I got dressed I climbed on my bed, and once my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
