Until she was seven years old, Angela Brown led a normal happy life. That was when it happened.... The great tragedy that took Angela's parents.
A tragedy that is still talked about.It was a sunny saturday, as usual Mr and Mrs Brown left in a hurry to catch the train to London to do the weekly shopping, leaving Angela to play with her toys. The familiar buzz of London greeted the couple as they hopped off the train. After two hours of ferocious shopping Mr and Mrs Brown took a well deserved break. Then came a scream highpitched enough to break solid glass. ''Snakes have escaped the London zoo!"screamed someone (recognisably a woman). For two seconds the city was asleep all anyone could hear is the sound of the Big Ben ticking. Suddenly there was screams everywhere women
climbing up on chairs, children shouting gleefully and men shielding there families protectivly. Unfortunately the Browns where the ones unfortunate enough to get a evil nip or two from the snakes. Now you know how exactly Angela got packed off to her great aunts.Her great aunts place isnt exactly luxurious. The bathroom is outside and you take water from the well. Even though her great aunt is the head of the tiny village she lived in, she had worse electricity than other villagers . Things weren't exactly a walk in the park for Angela. Working from sunrise to sunset she didn't have much time for anything else. Although her great aunt didn't miss treat her she didn't seem to know the word fun or break. Her aunt seemed to think that Angela needed to learn how to work. She gave Angela a 'treat' or she called it, she called Angela in one day and told she had a destiny. Normally this would have delighted Angela but today after all the work she has done, she merly responded to her aunt's statement with a grunt.It was only when her aunty told her what her destiny was she realised what it meant.She was to take over the village after her aunts death.A dreaded gloom misted over her, now she would have to stay at the horrible village for ever.
