Ruby has always been the odd one out. Which makes sense, seeing how she grew up in an orphanage. Little does she know that the note that her mother left her did nothing to prepare her for her epic journey
Dear Ruby,
You have no Idea how much it hurts to leave you. I'm just not in the state to care for you now. Your father doesn't know you exist, and neither does your Uncle. Gods, If your Uncle Carter found out I gave birth... Anyways, I will come and get you. I wish I could've left you with a close friend, but my oldest friends would pry too much, and I live with the others. Promise me that you will read up on Egyptian mythology for me. It's vital. If I don't get you by your 9th birthday, write a letter addressed to your Uncle, with the eye of Horus on it. All you need to do after that is leave it on the table.
Love, your mother
Ms. Kane.
