The Unwanted

Prologue

Tears formed in Marilla's eyes as she saw her baby girl. Many emotions went through her, sadness, happiness and confusion. Why was she blessed with this baby girl when she only had moments to live? She didn't know it would be this emotional. 

The doctor laid the little girl in her mother's arms. As Marilla looked into the beautiful violet eyes of the girl, tears fell down her cheeks. Marilla couldn't take her eyes off of  the dark haired girl. Minutes passed with emotion surrounding the room. 

"What are you going to name her?" Marilla's sister said breaking the silence. Marilla did not answer, for her disease had spread even further. Marilla looked hard at her daughter, taking her in. She couldn't stand the pain she was going through but she fought hard.

What am I going to name her? Marilla thought, still looking hard at the kid. Chubby? Violet, because of her eyes? Or.. "Chaslynn."

"Grandma's name? We've never met Grandma sweetie."

"It's the right name for her, trust me." Marilla responded hoarsely.

"I trust you, don't worry." But Marilla was worried. Not because of her sister, but because of Chaslynn. She didn't want to leave her in the hands of foster parents. If her husband were still alive she wouldn't be as worried.

"Why can't you take care of her?" Marilla asked her younger sister.

"Cause I'm only 12."

"What about our parents?" Marilla said, tears forming in her eyes.

"They're dead Marilla, they're dead." Marilla's sister burst out crying and ran out the room. Marilla felt awfully sorry for what she had said, but could not take it back.

Suddenly Marilla couldn't breathe. She could feel her life draining away. She fought as hard as she could but it didn't help any. As she flat-lined, the image of her daughter flashed in front of her eyes.
