Ellie approached the boarding house slowly, her stomach churning over and around itself with each step that brought her closer and closer to what would, she thought, be her new home for at least a short while.
Her mind raced with scores of questions, her head quickly growing heavy with the weight of her own conscience and, occasionally, doubt. What would her new housemates be like? Would they like her? Or would they send her away to another strange place just like her sisters and brother had?
Finally, she approached the front door, her hand trembling as she closed her hand around the knob and slowly let it turn. "You can do this, Ellie," she whispered to herself under her breath as the door opened with a small creak. She lifted her head up and took in a deep breath as she gazed into the house. It didn't look that bad just yet. Finally, she took a step inside, hoping to find someone to guide her through the rest of the process.
