Once at the castle Andy wanted to be anywhere else, even home would have been better than facing hundreds of faces that you know were judging you and hating you. Other students tripped her and threw things like candy wrappers and balled parchment at her, they called her weird and stupid. She went straight to bed the moment the ship docked with an excuse that she didn't feel to good, the key to a good lie was to look sorry into someone else's eyes. The strict teacher gave in immediately and with a look of pity and something about seasickness didn't question it a bit.
Andy laid there alone in the dark her mind was racing and her stomach growling but she ignored it. She wondered if she had she always been hated, memories of her childhood were questionable, her mother braiding her hair, or taking them for ice cream, her grandmother's gifts and candy but her father, her father breaking her arm twice, his insults, his beatings, sure Bella and Cissa loved her but what about mother and father what was she to them, mother had changed she stopped seeing them and she was getting angry, not father angry but angry, she didn't stop father from hurting them or even trying anymore. What was she to them, a something, an idem, a girl. Andy got up and took Elizabeth from her trunk.
"Your too fat Elizabeth, maybe you shouldn't eat." She said in a males voice, then she smiled "What a pretty dress, you look lovely" "Your ugly, stupid, and I hate you." she walked over to the frost covered window and opened it. "Your too old for dolls." she told the doll before she held out her arm and let Elizabeth slip from her fingers and fall into the darkness.
Leonard and Mina walked up the frozen path, frost had come early in the mountains this year.
"We're late" Mina stated.
"Get over it." Leonard said, he didn't want to be back here, nor did he care if they were late.
"What's that?" Mina asked pointing ahead of them.
Not to far from where they had stopped a black object laid unmoving in front of them. Leonard held out his arm telling Mina to stay and moved toward it unsure if it was an animal or not. Once he was in reach of it he flipped it over with his foot and saw a broken faced porcelain doll, he picked it up and looked around till finally looking up.
"What is it?" Mina said walking up behind him.
"It's a doll."
"It must have fallen out of a window, we don't walk this path to get into the school."
Mina looked up even though you couldn't see past three stories of the castle, Leonard looked at the doll it was an expensive one and he couldn't help not to hold it tight. Mina looked at it and confusion filled her face and it didn't go unnoticed by her brother.
"What is it?"
"That's Elizabeth, Andromeda Blacks doll."
Leonard looked up and horror filled him he let out a breath and mina could have sworn she heard him say in a whisper Andy's name, then he started walking fast up the path dropping the doll and leaving his sister behind.
