Once you’re the weird kid, you’re always the weird kid.
Ask Valentina, or as the kids in Roswell called her “Death”. Valentina grew up with her parents in Roswell, New Mexico. They were an old couple who had found Valentina on their doorstep and adopted her because they couldn’t bear the thought of her going into foster care. They used to say they knew she was extraordinary from the moment they met her, but Valentina thinks they meant it in a “this girl might be President someday” kinda way, not in a “she can talk to ghosts so we’re definitely adopting her”.
Growing up as the “crazy girl” who talks to people who aren’t there wasn’t easy, also no one wanted to listen to the ghosts talking to her and that was even more frustrating because some of them couldn’t cross to the other side due to their unfinished business. And it all depended on her? That was a tall order for a ten-year-old.
She tried to change in middle school. She ignored the ghosts, which was hard because some of them were long-time friends, but she wanted to have friends at school, to be invited to sleepovers and to just… fit in. She wanted to fit it in so bad, but she never could. Not when everyone in Roswell remembered that she used to be the girl who insisted she could talk to ghosts. When she turned sixteen, she realized that the only way to start over would be by leaving Roswell.
Valentina moved to L.A. to study at UCLA. There, she wasn’t the “Death” anymore, she was just Valentina Herrera, just another girl coming into the city with big dreams. She was able to flourish and develop some social skills that she lacked due to the severe years of bullying. The one thing she couldn’t leave behind was the ghosts, they still followed her everywhere. Sometimes… late at night, she still talked to them… with them, even if in the harsh light of day she had to pretend they didn’t exist. Sometimes she wondered if she really should be seeing a doctor, but her parents thought she had grown out of it, so she didn’t want to worry them.
After 7 years in L.A. Valentina was truly living her life as much as she could, she had graduated with a B.A. in Communication, hoping to become a News Anchor someday, and then tragedy hit. She always knew the day would come sooner rather than later, but you can never be truly prepared for it.
Her mom called her saying that her dad had died in his sleep from old age. She took the first flight back to Roswell and sat by her mom during the funeral. That night, her dad appeared to tell her the one thing he had lied about all those years. The Herreras hadn’t found her on their doorstep. Carlos Herrera had found her inside of a pod on the Caulfield Prison when he was a guard there. She was a kid and these monsters had her on a prison. He didn’t know what or why, but he knew he had to free her. He told her if he had known she had this “gift” he would’ve told her sooner.
Valentina decided to stay then. She could go back to L.A. and keep running away, or she could find her answers in Roswell and maybe, maybe she would finally know where she belonged.
