Episode 3

-7 years later-

This orphanage where I was left on a hot summer day changed my life, which you can say calm and almost happy. I don't miss Selene and Jack, the only thing I miss is the warm and trusting feeling of being family, I've lost this feeling twice and I don't want to lose it again ...

At first, everything was fine, although I did not have a family, I had friends, I loved and trusted them. In this way, I opened my heart to them without knowing that I had made a big mistake. I trusted them so much that I told them my secret about the dates I saw. I was so naive. I was because they started spreading false rumors about me. At first, only the mockers then sharpened their words, these words were now too bad and cruel to be just ridiculous ...

- WITCH !!!!

- UGHH .. STAY AWAY FROM US!

- DON'T APPEAR TO HIM OR IT WILL CURS YOU!

- UGLY YOU. GO AWAY !!

Her baldness, sharp as a knife, pierced deep into my heart. Every first thing they said hurt me, but then I got used to it like loneliness. The teachers were not interested in us anyway, and I didn't tell them anymore.

My life, which was cold and dark as time went by, suddenly brightened one day.

The Castleton couple, whom I saw as angels at the time, were very nice and kind people who regularly donate here every month. The first time I met them when I was pushed down the stairs, Mr. Castleton ran to save me. They cured me and gave me candy, then the promise to trust nobody again seemed history.

So every month when they came to donate, they gave me small but heartwarming gifts like chocolate, candy and that. And they would always ask about my state and color my life with that short speech. Ever since they came, I had a reason to live, which is the only thing keeping me alive in this place ...

-Present tense-

'Today, the day they came to donate again, I am so excited because they told me that they had a huge surprise next time when they came last'

I hurried down the stairs and searched for them, but they were nowhere. I did not notice the nun Alice coming towards me as I ran around in thought.

(Patt!)

- I'm very sorry Sister Alice

- Ah. You mean Penelope here.

Mr and Mrs Castleton await you in the room at the end of the hallway.

- Ah. Me?

- Yes you. God, come on, run, you made them trees there.

Oh right

I ran into the room and straightened me one last time before entering.

I opened the door.

- Penelope.

- Hello, Miss Christina. Hello, Mr. Ian.

- Oh, Penelpe honey, don't be so formal. There is a very important issue we have to tell you.

- Is that so? So what is it?

- Penelope, we can no longer meet you here.

-N-what are you?

I had the feeling of being left up to my bone marrow. My eyes widened, I started to sweat or they would leave me too ... this can't be, I can't let them go. I felt like a cold bowl of water had been poured over my head.

- hey hey don't be afraid honey. actually we was gonna ask you to come with us.

- No. Wait what?

- Penolope honey, can you come home with us?

- I come, I come ..

My eyes were weeping like open fountains.

Miss Christina approached me and gave me a big hug. I've never been in such warm arms in my life ...

After 2 days, my new parents came to the orphanage to pick me up.

- (Christina) Are you ready, Penelope?

- I'm ready.

He grabbed my hands and led me towards the car and sat back to me. I spent all the way putting my head on Miss Christina's shoulder ...

When we get to the door of the house, Mr. Liam;

- Welcome to your home.

He said with him soft voice,

The house was huge, even bigger than my old house, it was 3 floors and it had a very large garden, it was a truly fascinating place.

We went inside, it was beautiful and modern as I guessed. After I left my belongings, Mr and Mrs Castleton told me that they would meet me with their children 2 years older than me.

The hall door opened slowly.

There was a tall handsome boy waiting for us. Looking down because I'm embarrassed to look at your face,

- I-I'm glad to meet you, it's Penelope.

- Hey Isaac, answer her.

He spoke wearily at Miss Christina's warning,

-I'm Isaac.

Oh my god his voice was so deep and beautiful. I wondered about the face of the owner of such a beautiful voice. I slowly lifted my head.

She had beautiful red lips, blue eyes and skin whiter than snow and charming silver hair. He was too handsome to even look at.

As I studied him, my eyes suddenly focused on his head.

My eyes widened, I suppose they would have fallen out of him if he had opened a little more

'There is no way for this'

I knew very well what the history in his mind meant.

H-he will die.

Just above Isaac's head

I started stuttering.

- a-a week.

As the people around looked at me with uncomprehending eyes, after 5 years I felt that I had to save someone once again. I wanted this family to which I owe my life and happiness to stay happy ... I had a debt to pay ...
