The Beginning (Skyler Petrova's Story) 1490, Bulgaria I was only a baby girl who was taken away from my real mother. I don't understand the reasons let alone care because I'm crying and screaming. Being a child was something that I was just having to deal with. I was put down at the footsteps of an orphanage. I cried and wailed for hours just hoping to be heard and understood. Hours later the door opened and the one who picked me up was a teenaged girl. She was so kind and caring but there was something I couldn't grasp as a baby. The girl was blind and couldn't see anything she had to feel around just to pick me up. She had brought me in and though she was blind she really knew how to take care of me and basically raised me until I was about six years old.That was when I was finally adopted. I was taken in by a woman named Rose then and I became very skilled and adventurous. It didn't even bother me that Rose never came outside with me. Sure it was lonely but I much rather have been lonely then to have my #life put in danger. When I was eight years old I walked out of our little cottage in the woods and went exploring. I took in all the beautiful sights of deer walking very nonchalant like. I could smell the faint smell of well grown grass. I followed the smell all the way out to a very nice lupine meadow. I was so excited that I ran around so much that it made me tired enough to plop down on the soft grass and took a nap not knowing what was going on at home.
