Hey, Nukia here!

My summary is still bad, I think I'll change it later on when I get a feel for The Wammy House Memories and understand my plot a bit better.

I wrote this chapter pretty quickly, it flowed from me and I think my first few chapters will be slow. I want to show the relationship between Elizabeth and her Aunt first. I will tell you more about her family to, then I'll do some time skips and get to the good bits. I know my chapters aren't very long right now, but they will get longer as time goes on. Also with my writing, it will change as Elizabeth get's older.

Thank you for the reviews, favorites and the alerts! It's most appreciated!

Chapter 2!


I quietly closed my bedroom door behind me and looked down the stairs. I slightly smiled to myself as the smell of buttered toast wafted up the staircase, it smelt delicious and my tummy decided to rumble loudly which made me giggle. I carefully made my way down the stairs and jumped from the bottom step. I looked around the hallway and noticed a few photographs on a wooden end table near a coat-stand, they looked really old. I walked over to them and carefully picked one of the photo frames up of a little girl sitting on a chair with a black cat on her lap. I'm not sure who she is, but she looked unhappy and wore a pretty bird brooch on her scarf.

" There you are my love!" I heard Rose say from behind me. " You better put that back before Miss Havisham comes down for breakfast, she won't appreciate you messing with her belongings..."

" Who is Miss Havisham?" I asked as I looked at the photograph and chewed at my bottom lip. " And who are all of these people in the photographs? They look like they are from the old times before photographs had colour..."

" Miss Havisham is your Great Aunt Thora..." She replied. " Now put it back my dear, if your Aunt catches you she may scold you..."

" Okay..." I nodded.

I looked over my shoulder at Rose and saw her standing in the doorway of the kitchen. She was wearing a dark blue jumper and some black trousers today with a yellow apron tied around her waist. I placed the photo frame back on the side and cupped my hands behind my back as I walked into the kitchen.

" Come on now Elizabeth, let's get you seated at the breakfast table and I'll get you something warm to drink..." She smiled and walked over to the kitchen stove. " Did you wash your hands before you came downstairs?"

" Yes... " I lied.

" Good girl, now take a seat and I'll get you some poached eggs..." She said and continued to cook at the stove. " Help yourself to some toast, there is three different kinds of flavoured jams on the table for your toast and also some Marmite. Just help yourself, your Great Aunt Thora should be down in a few minutes..."

" Okay..." I nodded.

I took a seat at the table and looked around the kitchen, I've never been a kitchen like this before. It was old-looking, it was quite light too with pretty white flowy curtains hanging at the kitchen window and a wooden wall cupboard filled with many different kinds of plates above one of the kitchen counters. I took a piece of toast from the toast-holder and placed it down on my plate, now I just had to decided what kind of jam I wanted on my toast.

" Here we go my dear, I hope you like poached eggs..." Said Rose as she placed two poached eggs on my plate. " Would you like any french toast or bacon? I do a delicious mushroom and cheese omelette if you're interested. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I want to make such you get a good meal before the day starts..."

" No thank you..." I replied.

" Okay my love..." She smiled.

I watched Rose walk back over to the stove, she really is a nice lady and I bet she will take good care of me well I live here. I decided to have apricot jam with my toast, I carefully spread it on my toast and placed my knife down on my plate. I took a big bite of my toast, it was really good and the toast was so crunchy.

" Good morning Miss Havisham, how are you feeling this morning?" I heard Rose say. " Your porridge is nearly ready, I'll pour you a cup of tea in one moment and bring it over to you..."

I looked over my shoulder as I slowly chewed my toast, I saw a tall slender lady standing in the doorway of the kitchen with a fancy walking stick and woolen shawl draped around her shoulders. She was wearing a white buttoned up blouse and a long black skirt with a thick bet around her waist. She looked really old and grey, I guess she must be my Great Aunt Thora.

" I am well as I can be thank you Rose, I'll take two sugars in my earl grey this morning..." She answered and slowly hobbled over to the kitchen table. " I would also like some chocolate in my porridge, I believe I maybe acquiring a sweet tooth..."

" What's a sweet tooth?" I asked.

I watched my Great Aunt Thora sit down across from me at the kitchen table, she rested her walking stick up against the wall by her chair and took a pair of glasses from her blouse pocket. She put her glasses on and looked at me from across the table with a blank look on her face.

" So you must be my Great Niece Elizabeth, I see you have no manners and interrupted adults when they are having a conversation..." She answered. " I see I have my work cut out with you young lady, but it's a pleasure to met you finally. If I may give you my condolences about your Mother, she was a lovely and kind girl from what I remember. She will be missed, but I will try and do my best in bring you up until you are old enough to lead your own life..."

" Did you know my Mummy when she was a little girl?" I asked and sucked some apricot jam from my finger tip. " She told me that you were her Mummy's big Sister, she would have been my Grandmother..."

" Yes, I knew your Mother Daniella when she was a little girl. She and my Sister Annabella stayed on many occasions at my cottage in the summer many years ago before you were even a thought in your Mother's mind..." She answered and smiled at Rose when she place a cup of tea down on the table in front of her. " But at this moment I think we should eat our breakfast before it gets cold and finish our conversation later over some tea about our family history in my boudoir. I have a meeting at 1pm with a business contact, so would the time of 11am be suitable for you Elizabeth? "

" I so guess..." I answered and picked my folk up from the table. " Can I bring my photo album with me please? I want to show you some photographs of my Mummy and my old house in Oxford..."

" Yes, I would like that very much Elizabeth..." She answered and took a sip of her tea. " Now eat your breakfast, I like to eat in peace first thing in the morning well reading my copy of the Hampshire Chronicle. But seeing as it's only 8:25am I give you full permission to take a look around my cottage, I want you to learn the layout of it and remember it off by heart. This is your home to now and I would like you to get to know it, but I would like you to stay out of my boudoir unless I have invited you to enter it. Do you understand? "

" I understand, thank you Great Aunt Thora..." I smiled.

I quickly ate my poached eggs and the rest of my toast, I didn't have long until I had tea with my Great Aunt Thora. I wanted to explore every nook and cranny of the cottage before 11am, especially the garden. I helped Rose clear up the table after breakfast, she told me to go and get changed into my wellies before I went outside. It had been raining in the night, so she didn't want me to get muddy. I said goodbye to Rose and went to my bedroom to get my wellies, I guess living here won't be to bad after all.
