Weak Leo

         From what I was told from my Leo mother, I was born sick... I was placed in an incubator and had to be there to breathe. I had weak lungs and a weak heart. 

         Growing up I was a sickly child and everyone that I came in contact with called me the "weak" Leo. 

         In elementary school I remembered being so sick that I had to be out of classes for two whole weeks! That was okay though, because although I was sickly I was super intelligent and managed to move up grades with the same class every year. 

Anyway back to the beginning, I don't want to jump ahead. 

         So here I was a tiny baby, both Aries parents looking at me. I can't remember much for myself, although I do catch a random memory every once in a while. But I do remember the hospital lights flickering above my young amused brain. I also remember seeing a patch on the doctors right arm that I wasn't even aware had importance up until now.

As I struggled to breathe I could sense myself failing and my heartbeat fading, but I didn't die. 

         One year from that day I was taken by the people wearing the patches, never to see my true parents ever again, as it is forbidden for houses to mingle.
