I had to steal to keep my family going. My mother was pregnant with another child we couldn't raise, even though there were already three of us. My father was always drunk or in jail, and when he was sober he always beat us because he thought his situation was our fault.
I stole from all kinds of people, even the ones in the castle who thought their walls protected them from everything.
But my life changed that night I stole from supposed 'sorceress' of my town, when she promised me riches upon riches if I only listened to her. Of course I listened, because the idea of being rich was too hard to pass. If only I had known it would cause me to be wanted in the entire country for these abilities I hardly know how to control. If only I had known I would have to run from everything I know and love, to please the sorceress who would end up convicted, burned alive, and would leave me without a place to go.
How do I go back to normal when my definition of 'normal' has been skewed to the point I can't be normal?
