Chapter Nine- Secrets (Connie)

"Hello, Connie isn't it?"

Connie turned. Mrs Godfry was standing behind her, amazingly, smiling.

"Um...yes..." she said.

"Good to meet you, properly this time. I feel that we may have gotten off to a bad start. But I do get so protective, almost paranoid!" Mrs Godfry said with a little laugh, shaking Connie's hand.

"Oh, well, it's nice to meet you too" said Connie, a little confused.

"Sorry for being a little over enthusiastic, but my sister- well, I'm sure Dr. Brock has told you all about that hasn't he?"

Connie didn't quite know what to say to this.

"Oh...er...what's your sisters' name? Is she here today?" she said politely.

Mrs Godfrys' eyes widened.

"You mean you don't know? No one's ever told you? I thought someone would at least have mentioned it..."

Connie was decidedly confused now. "Mentioned what?

"Ah, Katherine, how are yo-"

Mrs Godfry rounded on him.

"You didn't tell her?!"

Dr. Brock jumped back from a snarling Mrs Godfry in surprise.

"Wha- what?" he gasped, shocked.

"I thought that after last time-"

"Now come on Kath, why don't we tale this outside?"

Dr. Brock put a comforting arm around Mrs Godfry which she shook off angrily. He grabbed hold of her arm again, this time practically dragging her from the room, shutting the door behind them. This, however, did not stop Mrs Godfrys' shouting from leaking through.

"The society completely failed-

I can't BELIEVE that I'm hearing this!

She deserves to know!

DON'T YOU TRY TO 'SHUSH' ME FRANCIS!!!

But Connie could be in danger-

KULLERVO IS A SERIOUS PROB-

How DARE you even suggest that!

She was my little sister Francis!"

The sound of a ringing slap came from behind the door.

Connie stood frozen, quite unsure what to think anymore.

Lol, I just realised the last bit rhymes! Chapter Ten is another short one I'm afraid- it's called Solitude. Please review! The little yellow envelopes make me happy!
