TWO YEARS EARLIER (from the prologue )
Chapter 1 – Let's start at the very begging (it's a very good place to start…..)
She had been searching for a job for days, (five days in fact) until that fifth day she finally found it as a psychoanalyst/ psychologist at the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane.
Aurora didn't have any desire to work with the mentally ill till; she read more about the dark history surrounding the asylum. So she set up an interview and was patiently waiting in her suite when, she got a call from a secretary telling her that all she had to do was show up that day at 2'o'clock.
The young doctor wondered what her new job would be like; she didn't like to be a 'newbie'.
Dr. Alice had been used to being treated different all her life. First of all her full name was Aurora Noreen Alice. If the references to "Alice in Wonderland" weren't enough, the comments about how her name sounded like the Northern Lights were unbearable.
She was usually the outcast who, -despite her gorgeous looks- spent most of high school career being "that hot chick who, has freaky eyes but, the football-" (also known as "soccer") " -captain is dating her." She didn't think there was anything wrong with naturally having different colored eyes {one sea foam green eye, and one pale periwinkle eye}, and (as the preppy girls would say) being a "plastic surgery virgin".
She also naturally had ultra light blonde hair and a high metabolism, making people think that she was fake and idiotic, and she was neither.
Her parents: Caroll & Lewis Alice were emotionally detached from their children. The only thing they did to make contact with her was patting her head, sighing at her appearance, or harsh whispers like: "Honey, I'm on the phone!" or "why don't you go and play with the butler?" Although her life seemed so happy and warm, there were many secrets and skeletons in their closet that Aurora didn't know of.
March & Madigan were the biggest of their secrets.
March & Madigan Alice were Aurora's half siblings, they were born out of wedlock when her mother had an affair with Lewis's brother. Aurora's broke uncle agreed to keep it a secret until, Caroll found out she was pregnant with twins. Then, came the truth, and the payoffs, they payed the hired help and Lewis's brother handsomely for their silence then, when the twins were born, the Alice's sent them to the nearest orphanage with out as much as a note. Three years later Aurora was born but, they kept her.
March & Madigan were never adopted but, they grew up to be very wealthy, and to the Alice's dismay, they found their birth parents. With out hesitation the twins made the rashest decision they could make, they released the scandal to the press.
Caroll and Lewis were devastated, when Alice moved away at 19 they decided to escape from the humiliation and go to Africa on a safari, where they got lost on a boat and were mauled to death by hippos. The twins were quite pleased with their progress. They also had an irrepressible hate and loathing towards the favorite child Aurora Noreen.
Little did she know she would soon meet them.
