Rating: K+
She didn't know what to do.
All her life, all she's been trying to do was reunite all of her siblings. To stop the feud. But, to no avail, she failed. Failed to fix the broken thing that was once her family.
She still hoped that the peace the Cahills once had would be restored. The peace they had before the fire. Before that treacherous man Damien Vesper came and ruined it all.
Her mother told her that before, everything was fine. The Cahills lived a happy life. Until the fire, when Thomas and Katherine accused Luke of starting it. Of killing their father. But why would he do that? Why would he want to kill his own dad?
The four split up. Leaving Olivia Cahill and the unborn baby that was her.
She was told to mend the broken family. And she's been trying to all her life.
But she failed. She lay down there on the bed, slowly dying.
She knew that in the future Damien Vesper's descendants would return and try to defeat the Cahills. Try to take the serum. Try to take her father's invention.
The only way the Cahills could win over the Vespers was if they would unite. But, the chances are not likely that they'll just put aside the feud. Although she wished they could.
The only thing that wasn't shattered by the feud was her hope. Hope that her descendants would be triumphant at what she failed at.
They'll fix the broken family.
Madeline Cahill closed her eyes. She never woke up.
