Annie's Story
I grew up in the Greenville orphanage. It was a small orphanage but we managed, it was hard sometimes because we missed meals or didn't have any electricity or water. I would sit under the the apple tree out in the garden and watch the birds and feel the breeze, but I always felt cold no matter what I did, and some times I would be walking barefoot and it would feel as if I stepped on ice. I would slip and fall and the other kids would laugh at me. I just stayed in my room, that way I wouldn't get hurt. The other kids always picked on me they even gave me nicknames like Ice foot or frost over. the only time I ever left the comfort of my room was when we ate, but I would still be picked on and slip. I would go and sell the apples from the tree to the townpeople, at least they didn't make fun of me. I finally made enough money to leave the orphanage, I knew I wasn't wanted there and that I was different. I counted my supplies and this is what I had:
1 rope
1 bag of apples
1 sack of seeds (cabbage carrots berries etc.)
1 first aid kit
1 water bottle that can filter river water
1 dagger
I snuck out at around 10 o'clock, I tied the rope to my bed post and hung it out the window. I jumped down and landed on the ground, I pulled the rope and it came undone ( I had read books about rope). I gathered it and put it in my backpack. As I was walking I stepped on a piece of paper. I picked it up and wiped it off. I was surprised because it said my name on it. I looked on the back and it was a letter and it read:
"Annie,
We have to tell you this sometime. You have the power of Ice, be wise using this power evil force's want it for them self's and will do anything for it . I am Artemis, your mother. Your father’s name I will keep secret because he is mortal. You have two sisters. Find them. I can’t tell you any more I’m sorry.
-Mom”
