Orphan

She was an angel, the child was, pure as gold and crafted by the tender hands of g-d himself. Flawless as a porcelain doll, she was born, her eyes dancing with sunshine.

When she was born the dark cellar her mother had gone into labor in lit up with the light of a thousand joyous stars, but her selfish mother neither noticed nor cared. The child was a sign of the love she had lost.

You see, this woman was a nun. Served the most respected reverend in all the land she did. in the world she lived in love was unheard of, until she met him, john Williams, a well respected author of many exquisite novels. When she saw him her heart did a rather strange thing, pounding and dancing the merry jig of love. At first she shrugged it off, excusing her desires with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders but soon it grew too much and she gave in.

When the miracle happened she panicked. And when she told her love that she was pregnant he claimed he never met her and never wanted to see her again. He disappeared from town the next day. She never saw him again. Declaring to the reverend that her mother was deadly ill she fled the country only returning after the child was born. From the steps of an orphanage in the country she had fled too, came the pitiful cries of an abandoned child. Such was her selfishness she couldn't bear to be in the same country as her child of the fear of losing her reputation.

The child grew up an orphan, unloved, and miserable. She was passed from orphanage to orphanage, unwanted by all, till the color faded from her cheeks and the diamonds in her eyes were shattered to the very sharp shards that pierced her heart.

Then one day he appeared at the door of the orphanage, a handsome stranger. He told her it took him months put he put everything he had into finding her.

"I'm your father," he tells her, his smile not reaching his cold eyes. Joyous tears of relief spilled down her cheeks. Her imagination wandered to magnificent places, living with a real family being loved and cared for.

"Can I finally go home," she asked her lips curving to the first smile in her lifetime.

"Do you know why you are here," he replied a cruel smirk curling his lips.

she shrugged, she never did understand why she was left alone.

"because I didn't want your mother," his glare broke her heart. "and your mother didn't want you."
