Hello! I’m going to tell you a story of a girl who had a very big secret. No one knew about her secret, not even herself. It all started the year before Ava was born, 2011. Her mom knew she was pregnant but she did not tell her husband. When she finally got the courage to tell him, he exploded with anger. He screamed at her and even hit her. When he was done, he packed up all his belongings, plus most of the things they shared, and all the money in their savings, and left. So Ava’s mom, Aurora, was left with a house she couldn’t afford and a soon-to-be-born baby to take care of. She wept bitterly that night. But, like any sensible person would, the next day she sold the house and turned to an old friend of hers, Calista, who lived far in the country. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Calista is a witch. But Aurora doesn’t know that. Anyways, Aurora had to travel a long way on foot because her husband took the car. When she finally made it, she nearly dropped dead of exhaustion. But kind old Calista nursed her back to health. After Aurora was well again, she told Calista all her problems. The next year, in July, Ava was born at Calista’s house. By then Aurora knew that Calista was a witch, and she begged her to put a spell of happiness on Ava. At first, Calista refused. But after much coaxing and bargaining, Calista gave in and decided to do a spell on Ava. Aurora thought she put a spell on her to make her life happy in the future, but Calista really put a spell on her that gave her the ability to turn into a dragon. Yes, you read it right, a dragon! But she never knew that; not until she was 11 years old. Previous: There is none! Next: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/846638199
