Prologue
I suppose that you’re reading
this for amusing entertainment. Well,
you might be satisfied, but perhaps not.
This story, if even worth telling, is not your average romance tale of a
man sweeping the girl off her feet. I
will admit that yes, it can be romantic in some parts, but its not that
simple.
Let me start from the beginning, (but keep in mind that I
won’t be telling you a few parts from my point of view). Probably the only normal thing about me is
that I look like any normal American girl would look like. I have dark brown hair, which some say
shines a reddish color in the sun, but I don’t see it. My eyes are brown, and I’m about 5’6”. Although I’m not fat, you still don’t need
to know my weight. Anyway, to be blunt
and to the point, I have no memory of my life from the time I was born to the
time I was four years old. I’ve been
told that because of the accident, I suffered from amnesia. I guess it’s not all that bad seeing that I
wasn’t losing much except any memory of my parents and the life I was supposed
to lead.
On October 30, 1986, the day before my fourth birthday,
the police found me. They found the
bodies of my parents too. Where you may
ask. In what used to be our family
car. Terrible accident I was told. I was the only survivor. The other car involved exploded. It was a miracle that I was alive and with
only one major cut on the side of my face, where my left ear joins with my
head. I have a nice scar now, and let
that be a hint of sarcasm.
Unfortunately, the police and detectives were not able to
find any relatives of mine. My parents’
identities were burned, and after a few months, they gave up on
investigating. Nice, isn’t it? Therefore, I was put into what every child
would fear if they were aware of it. An
orphanage. I can’t say it was a horror
house or anything. I mean, I was
surrounded with kids, many my own age.
But what hurt the most, was almost all of those kids left and I was
alone. And I learned that the older you
got, the less likely the chance of adoption became. Probably because these to-be-parents wanted a kid they could
raise from the start as if it were the own.
By the time I was sixteen-years-old, I had forgotten
about my life long dream to be a part of a family. By then, I just wanted to find out what I was meant to do in
life. I didn’t really belong to
anyone. I don’t even know if my name is
the one my parents gave me, which it probably isn’t. Forgot to tell that to you, didn’t I? To back up, the orphanage gave me the name of Faith Smith, or Fae
for short. I guess it was because when
I started living there, I’d always be saying that someone would come for me one
day, so I guess I had faith in people.
Don’t really know otherwise. And
Smith came from the tattered license plate on my parents’ car. It said “SMTH” on the first part of it. The rest of plate melted from the heat of
the fire. I still have no idea how it
was that I survived.
Well, now it is October 30, 2002 and the day before my
twentieth birthday. I have the day off
from work, and I’m heading over to this museum that’s having some special
exhibit. And just to let you know, I
live in my own apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America. Nice little place. Actually, it belongs to the orphanage; rather they’re paying for
it, until I’m 21. So I’ve got a year
left to live under them. Up until now,
I’ve done the same thing for three years.
After high school, I found two jobs, bought myself a cheap car, and
everyday I go to work. The first job is
working in the public library, (I love books), until three in the
afternoon. At five, I head to my second
job, which is a waitressing job at a pizza place called Rivendell’s.
However, on this October the 30, I was part of something
that I hadn’t been for exactly 16 years.
It was exactly twelve noon, it was raining, and it involved two
cars.
