Maisie
I walked back to my bedroom and stared at the mirror for a long time.
My fingers ran across my face, through my hair as I tried really hard to understand just how I'd reached this point. The point where looking back at my reflection in the mirror had become difficult.
Who was Maisie Adams?
I was the girl who hadn't been given a single day to mourn her parents before being handed a mopping stick at twelve years old and told that was who I was and all I could ever be.
You do not have the luxury to dream, Maisie Adams. Take what I give you and be grateful for it.
I was the girl who refused to accept that reality. I was the girl who fought her bullies, scrubbed her fingers raw until they bled, and still got the perfect scores. And got into Greymoor.
I was my own woman. Had always been.
And then I had come to this house.
