Bella - 04 - Starting over.
Ughhh I've had so many computer problems since the last update that seem to have not quite ended yet. Blah! Enjoy.
I adjusted well to life out there.
I adjusted well to life out there.
I was beginning to let my guard down for the first time in my life.
I was relaxing.
I thought I could live out there forever.
I had made my way so deep into the woods that I never saw anyone.
I didn't expect a lost child to find her way to my camp.
Too harmless to cause me any trouble.
Too skinny for food.
What was I to do with her?
I wasn't taught to help. Just to survive.
I should have left her there.
I knew a search team had to be on their way.
But she was scared. Cold. Hungry.
So I stayed, made her food, cleaned her up, and let her keep warm in my tent.
When they came, they asked so many questions.
My name is Ex... My name is Bella Farrow.
I am 18 years old.
I have lived with my grandfather my entire life.
He recently... passed away.
I came out to the woods to get away from everything.
The girls mother invited me back to their home.
The more I declined, the more modest she thought I was being and the more she insisted.
Eventually I agreed...
They set up the guest bedroom for me.
The walls were bright pink, not white.
The lighting was dim, not bright.
The doors weren't locked.
The windows had no bars.
I was free to come and go whenever I pleased...
...and to DO whatever I pleased.
Still, more and more questions came.
All of the things I couldn't answer or speak of.
Where did I grow up?
Where did I go to school?
Why was there no public record that I had ever existed?
What does a girl with no known identity do to start a new life?
