The book started out weird. There was a women who took the first two babies when they were born. She had servants go around with a needle and a kettle of water. (magical water.) All the servants were more or less like they were doctors but they didn't have hospitals back then so it was where you just had the baby at home, most women where in there teens when they had there babies. Any way the main character has a scar from when she was talking from her mother they left a different scar on her for some reason. This was her first time taking a baby from there mother so she was scared she had to lie to the mother birthing the baby saying that she wasn't one of them. (The people who take there babies.) (Not all people in the village took the new borns.) Anyways after the lady was done giving birth gaia had the baby in a towel and went and tried sneaking the needle out of the bag, she told to women that she had water that she was going to clean the baby off with. The as she was taking then baby the women got up and looked in Gaia's bag! she then started to freak out she seen Gaia get the baby with the needle.. The women screamed at her saying "you told me you'd stay & your not one of them you lied to me!!" then Gaia wrapped the baby up in the blanket and grabbed her bag and ran. The women couldn't chase after (but she did manage to walk a little) her.. she did yell as loud as she could though, "Give me back my baby! please i beg you!!" Gaia wanted to turn around so bad but she had no choice but to keep running. Then she finally got to the mansion and the guards stopped her.. they looked at her and seen her scar and they let her in, Gaia could still hear the women screaming as she souns
