         (18 year-old Vera)

  5 year old Vera's POV (pronounced with the E sound)
        
Today Mommy took me to the doctor. She said it would be fun! I hope they have toy trucks! Mommy stopped the car and let me out. We went inside and they took me into this room. A doctor was in the room with me.

"Hello. Are you Vera? I'm Dr. George Jackson," he introduced himself.

I wave. I don't like talking. Buddy told me not to trust him. Buddy is the spirit in my head. He gets me in trouble a lot but he also keeps the bad spirits away. They come at night and hurt me.
Mommy and Daddy think I'm crazy but I'm not! They just don't believe me. No one ever does.

"So you told you mother you have a...spirit in your head," he asked raising an eyebrow.

I glared at him with all my might and nod. The red flashes going on because Alex knows he won't believe me.

"And is it a she?" He asked.

I shake my head.

"It's a he?" Buttface  asked.

Yes that shall be his nick name! He's lucky I didn't use Daddy's words. I nod my head. I giggle as Buddy goes and makes his certificate for Harvard down. Harvard? What a weird name.
Buttface jumps and looks at me with fearful eyes.

"What? Buddy has a mind of his own," I said quietly.

Buttface looks at me as if he was waiting for me to set on fire. I glance at him and roll my eyes.

"Did Buddy do that to you?" He asked pointing to the scar on my face.

I glance down and hide it with my hair. I shake my head.

"Who did that to you?" Buttface asked.

I shrug. He frowned.

"Do you know who did it to you?" Buttface asked.

Yes. It was the monsters I tried to keep away. Buddy spoke in my mind.
Stop it Buddy it wasn't your fault. It happened when we were both new to this world. I told him.
I nodded my head.
"Who?" Buttface asked.

Gosh he's infuriating!

Buddy calm down!

"The monsters."

A/N Hey this book is going to be her younger self until the background information is finished. It will probably take quite a few chapters to finish the background information and why her parents abandoned her. See ya.
