Ascension of a Gamma
Goddess, why do you always make me do this?
Turning my back on the way to freedom, I made my way back up the stairs, into the hallway, then inside the library. Sitting around the table, I smoothened the crumpled envelope. My name was spelled in beautiful, cursive writing – Bella Black, a name I never knew until now.
Ripping the flap open, I took the folded sheets of paper out.
[Anna,
You must be all grown up now. I often thought about what kind of person you’ll grow up to be. Beautiful, no doubt, both inside and out.
