Unknown Creatures (rewrite)

I've spent most of my life living in an orphanage, used as a slave. Endured cruel punishment, life wasn't easy for me, but I managed. The Ravenwoods showed up, mysterious people they were, they planned to adopt a certain child. Some reason they chose me, I'm still confused as to why. Though I'm grateful they took me away from that horrible place, I only pray they don't send me back.
Mrs. Ravenwood is a kind person, she gave me a journal that I could write my thoughts in, to which I'm doing in this moment. Mr. Ravenwood is a quiet man, he simply nods in acknowledgement, I don't mind. They have three sons, who are ungodly handsome. Alec is the oldest, being eighteen. Jace is the middle child, being seventeen. Nathan is the youngest, sixteen same age as me. Alec seems rather brooding, stern and quiet. Jace is quite jubilant, he is loud and somewhat obnoxious, though bearable. Nathan despite being younger was well built. I felt strangely out of place compared to them, they were all beautiful and I was rather plain and boring.
My name is Zeena Blackthorn.
