Paths

chapter 4

(I do not own this music.)

After two years of being in the orphanage she begins to grow calm and learns to keep her magic hidden. The other girls and boys act as if she doesn't exist, no one spoke to her ever since she arrived.

She sits outside under the tree reading a book enjoying the calm warm air. The leaves above her dance gently in the wind, the sun beams down on her soft brown and white patched skin, her golden eyes move across the page slowly reaching herself how to read.

She looks up from her book watching the other children run and play and scream in laughter. She slightly smiles dreaming of the day that someone would play with her. She looks back down to her book, time has passed and the other children run back inside for lunch, it was soup and rolls of bread.

She remained outside now looking up at the clouds watching them slowly pass through. She stands up and looks the orphanage building before walking towards it, a few feet away from the door something hard hits her in the back of the head making her fall to her knees, she touches the back of her head and whinces. She brings her hand down and sees a small amount of blood on her finger tips.

"FREAK!" a young boy calls out laughing with his friends. She looks back and doesn't say a word and stood up grabbing her book and goes inside.

The smell of lunch fills her nose as her stomach grumbles softly to her. She walks towards the dining area and looks around every kids was eating. She sets her book down on the table and walks up to a loving, caring, sweet women named adele. "Is there any left ma'am?" She spoke softly and looked ag the pot over the fire hanging from the metal hook. "No sorry dear." She said sadly. Rosanna smiles softly "That's ok."

She turns and walks to grab her book and heads to the room. Many bunk beds lay in rows hers was the one in the back next to the window. She had a perfect view of the town. She grabs her pillow that smells of dirt and holds it close as she watches birds, rabbits and squirrels pass by her window.

She smiles softly and sits back against the wall and opens her book once more and enjoys the peace and quiet.

Time has passed, the sun sets and shines through the windows to the cold wooden floors that creaked under every step. Rosanna remains in the room as the other children run around the room screaming in delight. The women that watch over the children step in as one claps her hands "alright children settle down, we have another child joining our little family." A girl with long white hair that ends at her knees stands behind miss adele. Shes dressed in a black dress with red patches. She has no shoes, her skin pale and dirty, she has wounds that has been bandaged.

She stares directly at rosanna and gives a toothy smile, her teeth pure white untouched. Rosanna slightly smiles as her eyes glow a soft gold.
The strange girl walks towards her and shyly smiles and holds her hand out to rosanna "I'm violet..." rosanna shakes her hand "I'm rosanna." She smiles.
