I have lived my whole life in the shadow of a magical secret being none the wiser.... I am nobody. I am nothing. That is what has run through my head since I was a small child. Freak. Garbage. I have been called it all and from my own flesh and blood. Finally, at 17, I am free, as free as a homeless teenager can be. I constantly move around, doing every job I can to make sure I at least have food to eat, and I am thankfully alone. I like it that way, and if it is up to me, it won't change. No one will ever get close enough to hurt me again.
