Chapter 1: Prologue

  It was a dark, pouring, thundering night with winds that would wisp your hair in the storm, but this is the only thing that I've been told. The only thing I remember is a glimpse of  her face, her silver eyes pierced into my soul like she saw everything, and everything I will become. To this day I remember the sweet lullaby song she sang to me before she left me on the porch of a door step. But you don't know the whole story about this mysterious woman...or do you?

    My story may sound like another's, but trust me, my story is extremely different. Basic story's tend to usually have a similar back story, but my story will end differently. Destiny is strong, and my fate drew me to "him".

  Oh I haven't introduced myself yet! What's poppin my dudes, the name's Haylee... Haylee Woodland. In standard of society I wouldn't be classified to fit their beauty standards. I've been told I'm pretty, yet nobody would adopt me. Being 6' 1" at 14 is crazy, on top of that I have a brownish caramel color of hair. Eyes on the other hand are my most severe insecurities; my left eye is blue, but the right is green. How did my eyes turn out like this? you will find out later in the story, after all my eyes weren't always like this.

You're probably wondering what's going on, but to sum it up: me and this woman have a brief sad past that only she thinks she shared alone. This woman is my biological mother. Ever since the night she dropped me in front of a door step I later found out that the front porch was the porch of a Orphanage.

        If you ask my roommate in the orphanage she would say I am strange, but you're probably wondering why. I'm strange to her because I tend to stay awake thinking about how  my existence could improve this world, kind of like how I can make my mark in this world. Another thing is I spend most of my free time reading while most kids are watching their sweet television or I would call it a waste of time, unless for watching documentaries for research purposes not for mindless entertainment that doesn't even make sense; like walking-talking ponies solving mysteries and saving the day.

Others say I'll just be a waist of space, but

one day I will be someone big and everyone will stop picking on me because I'm the "only one" in that orphanage who does not know the way of the world. Most of the fellow orphans know who there biological parents are; except myself. I mean, how would you feel if you knew nothing about your family? Personally I don't know if cancer goes around in my family, lung diseases being carried, or even severe allergies I'm at risk to. Harmful things that could effect you is the bad side of being an orphan. Being said; the only good part is I wont have to live with the woman who doesn't want me.
