a new life

You wake up from another nightmare. Almost every day you dream about "that day" when your father took your mother away from you. You gently run your hand over the scar on your collarbone, and tears begin to stream down your cheeks.

There's nothing interesting or fun in your life. No friends, no family. You're all alone in this big world. Closing your eyes, childhood memories flood your mind. Tears well up again, and you quietly whisper, as if making a wish: "How I wish I could have lived a different life." Then you fall asleep again.

Opening your eyes, you realize you're not in your room. This place is clean and beautiful, as if a princess lives here. You run to the mirror hanging on the wall and see a different girl. Her face is exactly yours, but her hair and build are completely different. Her eyes are the same as before—bright blue. Then a woman comes into the room with a gentle smile and talks about the first day at your new school. You don't understand what's happening. "Who are you? Who... Me?" You ask fearfully, and she only sighs sadly. — Forgot again? Darling, I'm your mother.

You don't believe her words, as if it were a dream. Could your wish really have been heard? You throw yourself into her arms, afraid she'll disappear like your mother did when you were little. This is your new family now, and you decide to do everything to stay here.
