Aurora And Phillips Short Story

Improved Essays
When Aurora and Phillip first had their daughter Audrey, they knew they never wanted her to experience any of the challenges they both had to face. Aurora and Phillip wanted her to know nothing of suffering or hardship, so they provided everything she would ever want or need. She was showered with love and affection.

Jamie, even though she tries so so hard, isn't much of a villain. Hurting people makes her physically sick and she promised to help anyone in need after she couldn't get anyone to help her
