Chapter 27

Alora’s POV

Today seemed to be a day for reliving horrible things, that have happened to me in the past. Unfortunately to figure out what has happened and why, I have to relive the bad, painful, bloody memories. Not a fun adventure. It just further illuminated how fucked up and abusive my family has been to me. ‘Will I ever be able to heal from the wounds they had all gleefully given me?’ I wondered. 2

Xena snorts at this last comment. She says in a soft tone ‘I‘m glad you‘re

finally going to get us help.‘

I think I know where he’s going with this. “So she’s furious, the child with the wrong coloring is the one to be blessed by the Goddess, she can’t accept that so
