Chapter 1

"Anna-Maria! Get down here immediately!" boomed Miss Ficklie.

" What is that young lady doing! Anna-Maria, you come this instant, Or else!"

What is she going to do, hit me. I don't care. She could beat me until everything went black. That evil woman. When you look at her the only thing you want to do is throw up. She is so ugly. I have been here for 6 months. I am beaten everyday because I refuse to listen or learn Italian.

Miss Ficklie POV

"Anna-Maria, people are her to see you. They saw you in the playroom and they want to speak with you. Go downstairs after you have dressed to meet them. I don't know why they would want a child like you who does not listen. Hurry up! They are waiting!"

"I don't want to meet them so leave me alone. The only people I want are my mother and father. So leave me alone!"

"I have had enough! Your parents are dead."

This girl is making me furious with all that back talking back. She needs to learn her place. As I went up stairs and walked in the room I could see the fear on her face. All I could is smile. I stripped her close off and threw her in the bath. I had no more patience. While I bathed her in the cold water, I beat her. When I was done I put on the uniform that all girls were required to wear and yanked the brush threw her hair.

"Now we will go downstairs and meet the family that is waiting for you. Also stop the crying you have an ugly face and crying just makes it worse."

"Can I bring my monkey?" Anna-Maria asked her eyes red from all that crying.

"Fine, just hurry!" in no time at all Anna-Maria was on her way downstairs with her monkey. She has had that thing since she came here. Her parents had given it to her and I had allowed her to keep it.

Anna-Maria POV

"Hello, my name is Anna-Maria and I would like to apologize for making you wait."

"You don't speak Italian? How come? You have been here for 6 months. You should have started to pick up on this language by now. Even if only a couple words." Questioned Damien.

"Well no, because I refused to listen to Miss Ficklie when she insisted I learn it. My parents just passed not too long ago and I am in a state of great depression."

"Such a strong statement for such a young child."

"I can understand that. You see my mother had passed away. We were close and it was unexpected. She was screaming in pain one night and then she was silent..." Rosella had tears streaming down her face. Recalling such a pain full memory was just terrible.

"Don't cry." Anna-Maria whispered as she got out of her chair to go and comfort her.

"It's okay. Plus I'm not weak as I look won't have any nightmares so there is nothing to worry about. Kay.''

As she said this, she had a smile on her face but it did not reach her eyes. For deep down she knew that the image she had in her head would remain because that was the same thing that happened to her mother and father the day they were shot.

"To avoid anyone crying let's talk about something else." She did her best to show a face that did not show anything but a smile.

"Is it okay if I ask you a personal question?"

"Go ahead." Said Damien

"Well.... Why do you want to adopt? Are you not capable of having children? Sorry that was rude."What can I say I am curious.

"My wife and I are quite capable of having children. In fact, we have one. Her name is Samantha. She is now five months old, but we still feel that we should adopt a child to bring up as our own. It has nothing to do with charity or appearances but we fell that it would be good for Sammy to have an older sibling."

"Why me?"

"Sweetheart, do you not see yourself clearly? You are stunning. With your dark chocolate wavy hair, beautiful green eyes and slightly tanned skin because of the sun. You are wonderful. Or is it your personality you are worried about?" Before his wife could go on Prince Damien took over.

"Everything my wife says is true and as to if we don't like your personality well why don't we give it a trial run in our home. If all goes well you will be able to live with us but if not I am sorry to say we will have to send you back."

"I understand" What if they don't like me. They will send me back to this orphanage and Miss Ficklie will most likely kill me. However, I will never be anybody else but me.

"We will come and get you in a couple days. Before you come, we have some paper work to do and we have to inform the family about you and set your room up. Belloh before we head off could you tell me your favorite colour?" Asked Prince Damien

"My favorite colour is Aqua Blue. It reminds me of the ocean."

"Okay, we shall see you in two days until then goodbye." They both gave her a swift kiss on the cheek and that was that. They were gone.

I sat in the chair for a while thinking about what they were like. Then stood got up and opened the door to leave the room, but outside the door was Miss Ficklie and she was not done with me just She had a whip in her hand and a smile on her face. She is crazy; I think she will kill me before they came for me. I looked from side to side but there was nowhere to run. I was stuck.

"Come we have to have a little...Discussion about this morning's behavior."

I knew I was going to get it, all my emotions vanished and again I did not care about anything. All I knew was I was an unwanted girl and am ugly.

All I wanted was my parents.

I am in my room on my bed.

The first lash came.

My mind went blank.
