Chapter 1: The Red Room

It was a cold, rainy day.
We could not go outside.
I stayed in the living room.
My cousins sat by the fire.
Aunt Reed lay on the sofa.
She told me not to come near.
She said I was strange and quiet.
I felt sad and alone.
I took a book and walked away.
I sat behind the curtain.
There, I read alone.
The story made me feel better.

But my cousin John found me.
He pulled the curtain and yelled, “Get out!”
He hit me with a book.
I fell and hurt my head.
I stood up and shouted at him.
I was angry and brave.

The servants came and pulled me away.
They blamed me, not John.
They locked me in the red room.
It was dark and scary.
I cried and asked to be let out.
But no one came.

I thought about my parents.
They died when I was a baby.
Now I had no one to love me.
Only sadness was with me.

I fainted in the room.
When I woke up, a doctor was there.
He was kind and gentle.
He said I should go to school.
