I wish I could be a pigeon.

Chapter One

Alita p.o.v.

My name is Alita Morningstar. And let me just tell you my life is a friggin mess. When I was a baby I was left at the doorstep of some random orphanage in New York. Apparently my parents did not want me and so they ditched me at an orphanage which was called 'Susie's Sunshine Children' and let me tell you right now that 'sunshine' was NOT something you would find at that orphanage. Anyway the only thing Susie knew about me at the time was my first name, because it was quite literally written on my forehead with pen. I was, well am a strange kid because A: I have ADHD and Dyslexia. B: I don't have any friends and I'm perfectly fine with that. And C: I have always been very mature for my age. But I'll get back to my strangeness later.

When I was 5 years old I was adopted by some dude named Nick Morningstar, now that was one weird guy. He had a really dark sense of humor that was actually quite funny, he always seemed to know more then he let on, I have also no idea why he adopted me because he absolutely despises all human beings except me and called them mud-monkeys, and I am about 96.37% sure that he was an alien or at least possessed by one. We were about the opposite of each other, he had blond hair and light blue eyes where I had brown hair and sea-green eyes, and so on. When I was eleven I got a letter saying I was accepted at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, Now the first thing I thought was who would name their school after a pig skin disease? but that was not the only weird thing, because apparently this school is somewhere in Scotland SCOTLAND I live in NEW YORK like what is it with these people? So not only do I have ADHD and am dyslexic now I am also a witch, like I said strange.

Okay so fast forward now I am 16 years old at Hogwarts and a 6th year Slytherin, my sorting took about 20 minutes so I insulted the Hat who's name I later found out is Jerry and he put me in slytherin. Everyone always thinks that slytherin is evil or something because some of moldy-shorts uh.. I mean voldemort's followers are in slytherin but not everyone is bad in here, I mean yea most are a bit stuck up with their blood purity'n shit but some are actually okay people.

Right now I am on the train to Hogwarts or pig farts as I like to call it because that is technically what it's called. So here I am peacefully sitting in some random compartment looking at a book that I am not actually reading because of my dyslexia thinking about nothing in particular while playing with my pen with my fingers because of my ADHD when the compartment door opens and some one comes sitting in front of me. gods can't anyone just leave me alone for one friggin second? "do you need something?" I ask not looking up from my book.

"no, I'm just going to sit here" a guy voice says, I snort and say "obviously"

the guy starts tapping his foot and I look up to see.. the male version of Elsa?

"quit it Frozen" I say

"what?" the guy asks frowning. "I said quit it" gods this guy is slow "who are you anyway?" I ask the depressed looking guy. "you don't know who I am?" he asks raising his eyebrows. "no.. that's why I asked" "mhm" aaaand he's frowning again "so.. you gonna tell me your name or not?" he looks at me for about a minute and scratches his left arm then says "no, I don't think I am" this guy seriously looks like Jack frost or something "I'll just call you Jack then" I say "that's okay" he says.

No one said anything for the rest of the ride until the train stops. I snap my book shut "I'll be going then, nice talking to you Jack" he looks at me and I flash a smile and leave the train. I walk up to an empty carriage and look at the Thestrals...

Flash back:

4 years ago...

I just finished my first year at pig farts.. uhh Hogwarts I mean Hogwarts and am back in new york. I walk up to Nick's house and knock on the door. After about 2 minutes he opens the door and smiles at me, not his usual happy smile tho no this.. this is totally different. There no real emotion behind it and it's slightly terrifying... and is that blood on his hands? 'no, no I'm probably just imagining things' I walk inside and give him a forced smile.

"So.. how was school?" he asks with a crazy look in his eyes and still that terrifying smile. "school.. it was, uhh .. interesting?" he looks at me and says nothing "I'll just put my bags in my room then..." I say and slowly walk to my room.

I unpack my bags and go to the kitchen to get something to drink. I open the refrigerator and stop dead in my tracks. There in the refrigerator is not food but a body.. a dead body, and did I mention It was missing a head? 'so that was blood on his hands' I shut the refrigerator and slowly turn around and walk straight into a wall no, no this is no wall. I look up to see Nick look at me with absolutely no emotion on his face.

I run to my room and lock the door, nothing happens for about 2 seconds and then I hear him hit the door "ALITA!!" I say nothing "open the door kiddo he said he won't hurt you" what happened to him? I mean he was always schizophrenic but I didn't think it would get this bad "what happened to you?" I ask. He doesn't answer instead he kicks down the door "lucifer" he says. He points a gun at me 'where did he even get that?' and says "say hi to lucifer" guessing he is about to kill me I hit him square in the nose. He drops the gun and grabs his nose he glares at me and I pick up the gun. "leave me alone" I say pointing the gun at him he grins and tries to grab the gun, I accidentally pull the trigger and Nick drops dead...

End flash back.

I snap out of my thoughts when a voice says "we have arrived m'lady" I look around, no one is there. I shrug and walk in to Hogwarts.
