The first thing felicity remembers is loneliness. It was a miserable cold night. The wind howled and blinding flashes of light followed by loud claps of thunder. She remembers waking up in fear and seeing nothing but darkness. She knew she was trapped. Brushing her fingers around her surroundings she felt nothing but cardboard. Trapped in a box with no way out she wailed with fear. Crying and screaming hoping someone would hear her.

Sometime later, an old woman got her out of the box and carried her to the orphanage. The orphanage has been her home for the past 15 years. As she grows older she knows that she will never find a home. She will never have a family. Never see the world but from an old, horrible orphanage.
