*OPENING LYRICS*I own only plot.
I'm scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing?
Vera watched as she saw Victor in Anubis house, with her enemy, Trudy. But as she ran from his office, Vera heard his voice call her back, wishing she would.
But she didn't want him to leave her alone again.
And he wouldn't. Vera would make sure of that, even if she had to kill his new love for him.
The dark haired woman shot past Vera, tears streaking her face. The pathway was clear.
She went to Victor, who looked surprised to see her.
"Vera." He said, stunned.
"Victor. I just saw Trudy, if she's who you were expecting." Vera told him.
"No, that stupid girl will be back. She can't go anywhere, she isn't smart enough to look after herself for more than an hour. When I fired her two terms ago, she came back, looking ruined. She doesn't have the faintest idea how to look after herself. She relies on others too much."
That made Vera happy, spitefully happy. She had finally found Trudy's weakness. The one person who looked like she had no weak spots, finally was revealed to have one.
She waited until the next day, when she imitated Trudy's handwriting and wrote hate letters to everyone in the school. The worst were the ones for the residents of Anubis house.
When Trudy came in after breakfast, everyone ignored her very pointedly.
She made them a meal for when they got back, but everyone totally ignored it, pretending she wasn't there.
Vera said "Kids, your food." Everyone flooded to the table, chattering happily.
Trudy gave Vera a look, bit her lip to stop it from trembling, then she walked out of the room.
Victor was proud of Vera.
"Well done, my dear. You've finally broken her spirit, she's acting very well-behaved." He complimented Vera.
She'd sent hate letters to Jasper and Ade, people who had really liked her. So when Trudy tried to call them, she got no answer.
That really stung her.
She saw Victor kissing Vera in the kitchen, where she'd spent so much time, cleaning and cooking and helping kids. She'd never felt more broken.
Victor and Vera were happy because of the whole thing.
Trudy sobbed softly, not understanding why she was being ignored. Then she grabbed her coat and her money, then left.
Victor reinstated Vera as Anubis housemother and everyone accepted her with open arms.
No matter what, how or when, my friend, I'll be there.
