My name is Sarena Roseberry, I am an orphan that lives in the Roseberry Orphanage. Today was a normal day for most of the kids, but to me it was an important day to me because it was the day before my 13th birthday.

In the Roseberry Orphange once you turn 13 you must leave the orphanage and live on your own. You are allowed to visit for a few days but it is not allowed to stay here permanently.

"Sarena slow down" My friend Nate says to me

I smile down at Nate and sit down on the brach of the tree we were racing up.

"The point of a race is to see who gets there faster Nate don't ask someone to slow down" I say

"You always beat me" Nate says finally catching up to me

"Then tell me why you always want to race me up this tree." I smile at him

"Today and tomorrow are the last days that I can race you up these trees for a long time. I wanted to win at least once before you have to leave." Nate says looking out into the distance.

It was a beautiful view of a bright green grass field full of pink flowers and a mountain in the far distance. Me and Nate love climbing up this tree to see the view, it keeps us calm and happy.

"Well that isn't going to happen besides I will come back before it's your turn to leave so I can come get you to come stay with me" I say smiling at him.

Nate turns the back of his head towards me and mumbles something.

"What was that?" I ask him

He climbs back down the tree and runs away. I sit there wondering what just happened till I hear something playing. I heard music, I climb down the tree and follow the sound to find a small stage with people dancing on top. I run over with my eyes full of excitement. I squeeze through the crowd to the front and watch them dance.

"Wow" I say watching them

After a few minutes the music stops and a big man came to stage.

"Hi everyone my name is Max and we are the Star-Gazing troupe. That was our opening. Now it's time for the rest of the acts to come on stage and perform. First off we have Claire our singer." The big man leaves the stage.

This time a lady came to stage then bowed and began singing. Her voice was so beautiful and the song was amazing she sang loudly and with all her heart. After her act a little girl came to stage with 2 small lions one white one black.

"Now we have a small lion tamer Rin and her 2 lions Vanilla and Choco."

The little girl held up hula hoops for the lions to jump through. They were so cute I just wanted to pet them. They seemed so harmless it felt like they wouldn't hurt any body. The lions did back flips, front flips, all sorts of tricks.

After these 2 acts a clown came walking to the stage. You know what clowns do, they do tricks like juggling bowling pins while balancing on a giant ball, which is exactly what he did. He then jumped off the ball and made a balloon rose then handed it to me. I gladly accepted the rose with a huge smile on my face.

"We thank you all for coming today. Today was our last day here we will be leaving tomorrow morning to go somewhere else. I hope you enjoyed our performances and that you will be awaiting our return to perform once again right here. Thank you and goodbye." The giant man Max says

The group takes a bow as the audience all takes their leave. I on the other hand, stood there for a good minute admiring what I just saw. The singer notices me and walks over.

"Hi girl whats your name?" The lady asks me

"My name is Sarena" I reply coving my face with my balloon rose in embarrassment

"Tell me Sarena did you enjoy todays performance?" She asks me

I nod yes.

"Thats great thank you for watching us" She pats me on the head smiling at me

"Come on Clair let finish packing up for tomorrow" The clown says trying to wipe off all his make-up on his face.

"I'm coming. I hope we come back and see you again Sarena" The lady says running off waving bye to me.

I walk back to the orphanage with a big grin on my face and the balloon rose still in my hand. 

"Sarena where have you been?" Ms. Lauren asks me standing in front of the front door.

Ms. Lauren is the lady who runs the Orphanage.

"I was down at the park watching a group perform on stage" I reply

"Well next time don't just take off. I have to talk to you about something important" Ms. Lauren says

I walk into the house and hear a car door slam behind me. I turn to see a fancy white car, one that only rich people have because us people can't afford such things. 

1 man dressed in black walks up to Ms. Lauren as I stand right behind her. 

"What may I ask are you here for sir?" Ms. Lauren asks the man

"I am looking for a girl who has blonde hair and green eyes should be turning 13 soon" The man answers

"Why are you looking for her?" Ms. Lauren replies hiding me right behind her because she knew that they were talking about me.

"We want to take her into our family" The man answers 

I peek out from behind Ms. Lauren to look at the man and I was frightened. He had a gun in his pants hiding behind his jacket. Of course I would be scared I mean it's a real gun with probably real bullets inside so I tugged on Ms. Laurens dress. Ms. Lauren looked back at me and I was shaking me head very violently saying no.

She turns back around and tells the man "I am sorry but I do not have a kid here of that description" 

The man thanks her and walks away.

Ms. Laurens closes the door and I tell her "He had a gun hiding behind his jacket in in pants" 

"Thats good that you noticed now lets go to my office" Ms. Lauren leads me to her office.

We both sit down next to each other and I place the balloon flower on the table in front of us.

"Serena tomorrow is your 13th birthday I believe that you have everything ready for you to leave?" Ms. Lauren asks me

"Yes I do" I say as I nod yes

"I have something to give you and it's from the person who gave you to me." Ms. Lauren says pulling out a bright pink and purple case. 

But that didn't mater to me. I was lost. What did she mean? "From the person who gave you to me" I didn't get it.

"Ms. Lauren what exactly did you mean by 'From the person who gave you to me'" I ask

"This is going to be a long story but please listen to me" Ms. Lauren tells me 

I sit there silently listening to what she had to say because I am finally learning the truth about myself and where I came from.

"It was 11 years ago, you were just a baby. I was just walking along in the town when I heard a baby crying. It was you Sarena. I looked around to find where it was coming from. A lady with a maid outfit on was trying to calm you down, so I walked over to help her out since she seemed like she was having a hard time. I asked her if I could help, she handed you to me and I sang a song to you until you calmed down and feel asleep. The lady was happy and relieved she then asked me who I was. I told her my name, also what I worked as. She then asked if I could take you. She told me that your mother was very sick and could not take care of you also that your father had died. So I most definitely agreed. I took you in and before she left she handed me this case to give to you when you were ready. Unfortunately she never told me anything about who your family is."

I didn't know how to react. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. So I just stood up grabbed the case and walked out of the room no words said. I walked to my room and locked the door shut.

"This is just to much" I say flopping onto my bed along with the case still in my hand.

I turn my head to look at the case.

"I wonder what could be in here" I sit up straight and open up the case.

The first thing I saw was a pink dress. I pull it out and twirl around with it as if I was a princess in a ball room dancing. I laugh and look at myself in the mirror. Looking into the mirror I notice something else in the briefcase. I walk back to my bed and pull it out. It was a bright sky blue bracelet with charms on it. There were stars, hearts, and letters. The letters spelt out "Baby girl" I smile and put the bracelet on. I then put the dress back and close the case. 

I hear knocking on my door and run to go answer it. A little girl was rubbing her eyes.

"Sarena come sing us a song" She says hugging my legs

I smile and pick her up off the ground. I walk her back to her room, which is where the smaller kids sleep together. I set her down on her bed then go grab a chair and began singing them a song.

Every night I would sing them to sleep. It was the only way to keep them calm and go to bed because they could not sit still. Eventually everybody in the room falls asleep. I walk back to room and fall asleep as well.

That night I was dreaming about a young beautiful lady she had blonde hair, green eyes, and a white dress on. She was just gorgeous. Next to her was a man he was tall and had dark brown hair with also green eyes and a black suit on. They were both smiling at me. I was sitting in a baby wagon looking up at them laughing and smiling trying to reach for them. 

I was enjoying my dream that was until I smelt something unusual. I opened my eyes and looked around my room, It was full of smoke and all I could here was crackling noises and kids screaming. I stand up and run to the kids room to see them all standing in a corner frightened with fire around all of them. 

"Hey guys it's going to be alright" I say slowly approaching them

"I need you all to stay calm and jump into my arms I will catch every single one of you. I promise! Smaller ones first." I reach out my arms as far as I could and catch them all one by one.

I run with them to the exit to see the hole entire orphanage in flames. Rushing to get water I remember something, MY CASE!! I hand the bucket of water to a near by person and run to the window of my room. Luckily it was open. I climb into the window, Grab my case, and jump back out the window. I land and tried to run but before I could - someone pulled me by my hair and yanked me to the ground.

"OW who in the world?" I look up to see 2 men dressed in black one in front and one holding me by my hair.

"Hi little girl I believe you have something that we want." The man in front of me says

I was to frightened to answer so I just held onto my case really tightly.

"She's to scared to answer lets just look for it" The man holding my hair says standing me up and holding me against the tree as the other yanks my case out of my hands. 

"NO give that back that's mine" I scream hitting the man holding me 

The orphanage was still burning and there was 2 men attacking me. This could not get any worse. 

Minutes later "I can't find it any where..." The man says still looking through my case

"Hey girl where is that bracelet?" The man holding me asks

"I don't know what you are talking about. LET ME GO" I struggle and struggle but he does not let me go. 

I didn't have any power against them no matter how much I punch, kick, or scream. Eventually I just gave up yelling and fighting and stood there hoping for them to finish and leave quietly. Finally the man that was digging through my case stood up and faced me. 

"Girl you better tell me where that bracelet is or this isn't going to be pretty" The man pulls a gun out of his pocket. I then realized that this man was the man from earlier asking for me. 

"I don't know what you are talking about I already said that" I answer

"Well I guess since you aren't going to spill. I guess I'll have to hurt you a little bit to make you spill." The man starts walking up to me and the man holding me against the tree. I close my eyes and hear something far in the distance, it was a horse. 

I open my eyes to see a boy with bright blonde hair and green eyes wearing a white suit sitting on a black horse. 

"Whats going on here?" He asks

"None of your business, go focus on the fire" One of the men say shooing him away

The next thing I knew the 2 men were knocked out on the ground and I was free. I dropped to the ground in relief as the boy walks over to me.

"Are you alright?" He asks holding his arm out for me to grab.

I was to exhausted to answer or move that I fell onto his arm and fell asleep.

(As Sarena was sleeping)

The boy picked up Sarena and carried her like a princess. He carried her to a traveling car decorated inside and out. 

"Hey guys" The boy says to the people sitting outside. It was the performing group from earlier. There was one more person though. It was a grandma. 

They all turn their head to face him.

"Who are you?" They ask

The boy smiles "My name is Cien and this is Sarena she needs a place to stay for the night" He looks down at Sarena and smiles

The grandma stand up and leads him inside the car to pace her on a bed. Before the boy took his leave he kisses Sarena on her head and leaves.
