Orphaned and a ....witch?

Evie(Evelyn) Walworth slid across the ground of the orphanage laundry room as she sang along to the radio. " 1, 21 guns, lay down your arms.." She sang. " Shut up, you insolent little beast!" The Wardan yelled at her. Warden. That was what everyone called the woman who ran the place, Mrs. Johnson. Her eyes teamed up. "Oh mom. Why did you leave me alone with James." She silently cried. James was her stepfather. Her dad died when she was 7. A car accident. When she turned 10, her mom married James. James was a monster. He had beat Evie until her mom came home. The neighbors had called CPS, and they took her away with mom. She had lived there for a year, the oldest there. No one wants the adopt a 11 year old. So she stayed there. There was never any excitement, until that morning, when the warden called," there's a letteh for ya Evie!" ( owl me if you see anything I need to fix. Thanks!)
