Prologue

There were many things Valerie was afraid of.
She feared angry goddesses who would not stop at anything to get their children back. She feared hospitals and didn't dare to step in one unless she believed it was absolutely necessary. She feared her application to King's College would get rejected. She feared the new friends she was making could betray her. She feared something could happen to her aunt and she would have no one to lean onto. She feared the feelings that she was developing in her chest could drive a long time friend away.
Valerie feared many things, that didn't mean there wasn't more to be afraid of.
