Cathy's Last Thoughts (just before her death)
I went up to the attic.
I knew it would always come to this. It was the only place I would find my Christopher, my knight in shining armor. Who was always there to rescue me, to catch me when I fell.
I wandered through the attic and could see the paper flowers dangling from the ceiling. Who had put them up there? How long had they been there?
I walked slowly reliving memories, and could see them all Cory, Carrie and my Christopher. But I couldn't see me, because I was here and they were……
I was the last one left. And after I died, the Dresden dolls will be no more.
I wasn't needed here and I knew that.
"Dance, Ballerina, Dance……" I could hear Chris sing and I knew he was waiting, waiting for me. He needed me more than anyone else, my Christopher Doll did! He was the only one who knew better than I knew myself. I never to had to explain. My rightful place was by his side, always.
I reached the attic schoolroom. Not like the first. Never like the first and yet so similar. I could hear Cory's and Carrie's shrieks calling to me. I looked down to my hand and saw a note scrawled in my own handwriting. When had I written that?
I opened the windows wide and looked up, hoping to find my Christopher, hoping to reach that garden with the purple grass, at last.
It was my time.
When I read this it sends shivers up my spine. The Dollanganger Saga was the one which haunted me the most. I cried so many tears. The story is just touching…… This is what I imagine Cathy's last words would be. I hope you like it and it makes you emotional. Write reviews it's my first one. Thank you
