Chapter 1: Abandoned

Hello, my name is Heather of Qurin and this is my story. It starts five years ago, when I was thirteen years old. I had never really felt quite right with my family and siblings, though I loved them very much. I always sort of felt out of place. On the day I turned thirteen my mother came into my room. She had a depressed look on her face. I had never seen my mother, an energetic person, look so down.

"Heather," she said." I’d always known I’d someday have to tell you this, but I had hoped that it wouldn't be so soon. Please, come have a seat."

I walked over to my bed, for I had been gazing through the window when she walked in, and lowered myself down to the bed. I looked quizzically at her. "Mother, what don't you want to tell me? What’s wrong?"

"Nothing’s wrong. I had just hoped I wouldn't lose you so soon."

"You’re not going to lose me. I’m staying right here!" I exclaimed.

"There’s something that I have to tell you, " she explained. "You’re, you're not my daughter," she rushed.

"Of course I’m your daughter. I look like you. That alone proves it," I hurriedly exclaimed, not letting her get a word in edgewise.

"A strange coincidence, that's all. I found you thirteen years ago to this day. There was a a note with you saying, her name is Heather. I just recently got a note saying it's time. You have to leave and find out who you are. I wish I could help you, but all I can say is good luck. You must leave soon."

I stared at her speechless. First she tells me she's not my mother, and now she's saying I have to leave soon. It seemed as if my whole world was falling apart.
