I've never been so excited in my life because in a few days, I'm going to be 18, and I will finally get to leave this hell of a place. I grew up happy, loved, and free until that fateful night I was brought here. What was strange was being told by the orphanage owner that my grandmother was dying, that's why she brought me here, which I knew couldn't be true because my grandma couldn't get sick. I had spent a few days after that crying and refusing to leave the room as I couldn't connect with Lu or my grandma through dreams. I felt so alone and abandoned that my body just refused to function. What finally got me out of bed was a dream of someone who looked like my mom telling me I had to stay strong and live as they won't survive without me. by they I had assumed shem meant Lu and grandma, but the older I got, the more I knew the lady meant someone else. I was told I was forbidden to practice magic here but was bullied alot to the the point where cuts and bruises were a constant state of my body especially since they discovered that besides being a witch I healed quickly infact too quickly that I was constantly asked what am I which always baffled me. Since that discovery, I was nicknamed the abomination, which was triggered the night where one of the older kids had tried to force himself on me and my magic must have felt the imminent danger that it sent him flying from me to crash on the wall and instead of apologizing or walking around in shame he said I was a freak of nature, an abomination and since then that's what they would call me not that anyone cared to do anything about it.
