You don't know my name, and I won't tell you. This is hard, but my therapist told me that this is supposed to help me; I doubt it...
But I've tried everything, why not this? So I reluctantly agreed.
I'll start from the beginning. I was born on a particularly starry night in the heat of June, to a doctor and a detective. But my mother was shot a few days after I was born and my father contracted a deadly disease from one of his patients and died when I was three.
But that's what people told me, my earliest memories are of hospitals. Tubes, tanks, machinery and concerned looking doctors. They told me I had a disease which made my bones terribly weak. I don't remember the name of it. I was on a wheelchair living with my friend who did almost everything for me. I'm thankful for her.
I'd read and listen to music all day because that's all I could do. Sometimes, I would read a recipe from a book so my friend, Clary would cook it. It was fun. Clary was three years older than me but she acted like a little girl. I, on the other hand was a stoic, grumpy girl with no life whatsoever. But a few days after my thirteenth birthday, she died.
She was stabbed in the heart while I was out for a walk.

I got a mysterious letter a few days later, telling me to join the same league my mother was in. I accepted, even though I was terrible because of my condition. I broke my bones nine times. I was put in the unsolved cases department because I solved a case about a murdered woman who had no connection to the rest of the world. It was her fiance. No one knew she had one. Anyways, I got much better and after two years, I was made captain of my squad. I also got rid of my disease. I was sixteen. Yes, sixteen.
I was determined to catch Clary's killer, but my intuitions told me that something was off in her case. I later cracked it and found out that she stabbed herself...
A year later, I made a shocking discovery. I can't say much about it right now. But that same year, I also became one of the most elite member of that organisation.
I can't say anything about the things that happened after that.

Farewell.....
