Chap.3: Tears sliding down her face
My darling Alice,
If you are reading this letter then that means that I have died. You have made my life better in so many ways, the only joy&happiiness I ever had was raising you into a beautiful strong indepent woman that you are today. I know that you are filled with so many emotions and it feel's like you're drowning and that you have a hard time breathing but I ask you for one favor. Do not bring me back from the dead with you're magic, you should know what happen's when you attempt this. I know that it's 50 chance that I come back: evil, cruel and unhuman but I won't let you risk it. I know that this seems strange as advice but when my mother died when I was 16, I brought her back from the dead with my magic. She came back evil, cruel, unhuman and she tried to kill me. I had to kill her and send her back to her grave. I know it's not fair but I'm at peace and I'm not in any pain. I am always going to be with you and I will never forge our midnight cravings of Ben&Jerry's ice cream or the time we fell in the Trevi fountain when we bumped into a tourist. Live you're life to the fullest without fear for fear is a slow poison that will keep you caged in forever. Remember a life lived in fear is a life hallf lived. I love you and I will always love you, I leave our family legacy to you.
With all my love
You're mother Catherine Louise Barrows
The previous daughter of Ipswich&Turino
Alice folded the letter carefully and placed it back in her coat pocket. She lifted her head and pressed the call button and waited for the stewardess to arrive. It only took a few minutes for her to arrive, Alice noticed as she walked that she was very attractive. Those blue eyes, blond hair, long legs, curvy body and a face that looked it was carved by angels. A woman like that shouldn't be on a plane serving people.
« Was there something you needed? » she asked politely
'' Yes, how much more longer is it till we reach Massachusetts?'' Alice asked
''We will be arriving in an hour is there anything else you need?''
''No thank you.''
Alice felt tears sliding down her face as she sat in James' car as he drove her to Spencer Academy.
//Flashback//
''I have called all of you here today to inform you that I will be moving to Ipswich Massachusetts to finish my high school education. I have written letter of references for all of you and I have you're paychecks.'' Alice explained as she talked to the entire staff of the Barrows manor.
''We will miss you Miss Alice. We all loved working for you're mother and we have a parting gift for you.''Terry the butler answered
Isabella the youngest maid walked forward and stopped infront of Alice. She held a beautiful blue box with gold and silver glitter, Alice walked over to Isabella and opened the box. Inside she found a big leather bound scrapbook and in the scrapbook it was filled with pictures of Alice from when she was a baby to right now at the age of 17 with the staff of the Barrows manor.
''Thank you so much all of you! I will miss all of you so much. '' Alice exclaimed as she cried which caused others to cry.
//End of flashback//
''Alice were here.''James said safetly as he parked the car infront of Spencer Academy
Alice looked to the right and saw the place where she would be spending the rest of the year. They both got out of the car, and as they walked towards the entrance and inside the academy Alice felt all eyes on her. She wore: black stiletto boots that went up to her knees, hip hugger faded denim jeans, a red tank top over a black t-shirt, black leather jacket and an orignal Gucci purse. Around her neck she wore a delicate thin red cat collar that had a small medallion with her name imprinted on it.
After they got escorted by the secretary to Provost Higgins' office, Alice and James walked in and both took a seat on the chairs infront of the office.
''Well Miss Barrows, we at Spencer are very lucky to have you here. By the look's of your transcripts from the last school you attended you are what I call the ideal student. Straight A's, involved in school life but tell me what activities do you do?'' Provost Higgins asked Alice
''I like drawing and sewing .''Alice answered calmy
''Well we have an art club but I'm not sure for the sewing. It's nice to have a Barrows at Spencer. ''
''Are you trying to tell me that my mother did her high school education here at Spencer?''
''I still remember as it was yesturday. Here is you're school schedule, dorm room number and the list of books you'll need. You can find these books at the school store. Any questions?''
''No. ''
''Well then welcome to Spencer Academy Miss Barrows. ''
