My "Royal" Reality

Chapter 1: LOST AND FOUND

A day I'll never forget. A day I can't forget. Everyday I waited For someone to come to my aid, but it never happened.
It began at "Mrs.Hamiltons Orphanage for the mistreated." I was far from mistreated. I was a dumpster baby.
I spent 10 years here, I'm 12, all I wanted was a home all my life.
For the first time there was hope, a woman by the name of Mrs. Marietta came in and said she would like to adopt a child Under 14 but over 6.
I peaked out from the corner and she saw me
"What is her name?" She said as she pointed to me
"That's Jane Ma'am. She's 12" Marietta Smiled "May I adopt her then?" I've never heard that before. Someone adopted me!!
I was so happy! But it didn't last long..
when I packed and we left she looked at me closer.
I have a Defect. My eyes are completely different colors. She didn't say anything until we got home "What's with the eye." I froze where I stood "M-Ma'am?? What do you mean.." she shot me a glare "My question was clear, wasn't it?"
I was scared out of my mind I felt so insignificant.
" I was just born this way. It's kind of a defect."
She mumbled loud enough where I could here " now I know why you were left in a dumpster"
At that moment my whole world came crashing down. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
She gave me an eyepatch she made herself with a little black heart on it.
She made it no secret she did not enjoy the way I looked.
Every single day I was stuck cleaning Or attempting to cook. With every failure comes a great punishment. A Threat. A fear. Beyond what a child like me could possibly comprehend.
I stayed within those walls.
Slaved within those walls.
Caved every second within those walls.
I wanted to go back to the orphanage, But that wasn't an Option.
She told me to wash Her Antiques one day, she said to be Very careful.
While I was dusting her $900,000 vase, I didn't notice it was Tipping Over.. I just Kept Dusting Until I saw it tip over. My heart skipped a Beat, and I started Reaching for it, Scared for my Actual life I nudged myself over and was able to catch it before it broke.
I was Crying, She walked in and Saw me holding it, She Slapped my hands and Put it back on the mantel "Don't touch my Priceless artifacts with your- dirty Hands. I didn't say to touch it. Now did I?"
I kept crying, and she Slapped me " Stop whining! Because I give you something to cry about." She walked away like nothing happened.
I dried my Tears and Walked to My room. I saw a Few books on my Bed side table.
I picked one up "Cinderella".
princess books? Really?! How old does she think I am?
It was the only option I had, I read the entire Book before bed.
I went to bed with a Smile on my Face for the First time.

The next day She told me to go to the Store and Gave me $30 to buy groceries. I headed to the store when I saw a Girl with short hair and A Small Bag Walking around Picking up apples.
I kept walking but she ran Up to me "Hi"
I was Very socially awkward "Uh... hi?"
"I've never seen you around here before, Are you new?"
I shook my head
"Oh! Well. My name is Elle"
I smiled a Little "That's a Very Pretty name, My name is Jane."
She Smiled "It is very nice to meet you Jane, Would you like an apple??" She said as she Dug inside her bag for the shiniest one.
I nodded "That would be amazing"
She handed me the Apple "I have to go, See you around Jane" She smiled and Ran off
My Heart almost Skipped a Beat.. but... why?

I got the Groceries and Went back home as. I was putting everything up I saw a Group of Bottles on the counter...
"No.." I quickly put everything up and Ran up to my room but.. she was there sitting on my Bed.
"why are you Home so late?.."
"I-I was getting groceries.. Remember??"
She Got up and Walked to me, Grabbing my shoulders "I remember clearly. you scared mommy."
"I didn't mean too"
She had a Blank expression "Don't he late again." she Pushed me Down and Stumbled downstairs.
If I'm being honest this isn't the first time this has happened.
It makes me wonder why she treats me this way.
I can't ask.. if I asked I would only cause more trouble... not for her, But for me.
Everyday I go to sleep wondering if tomorrow will be different. I looked outside of the window seeing the Moon Light Shine Through, I smiled and Closed my eyes for the night..
