CURRENTLY
ORPHANAGE ROSETHORNE
I knock on the cold hard wood door and it is opened by a sickly young boy who is in dire need of food, I inform him that I wish to speak to Mrs Elizabeth and he leads me up those creaky stairs that I once walked so very often. When we walk pass my old room that I shared with 6 other girls a ghastly scream echoes through the decaying building I run towards the source Mrs Elizabeth's study and a young girl is laid out on the frosty metal surgical table with Mrs Elizabeth standing above her with a bloody scalpel in her right hand.
That is the same table I was once laid out on and the same scalpel. Mrs Elizabeth comes charging towards me her tall skinny frame towering mine and she hold the sharp blade to my neck,
"Is that you Miss Blackwood, how surprising do you want me to give you more pretty scars" Mrs Elizabeth yells in my ear
"If you stop cutting her up, you have free use to my skin"I stare into her swamp brown eyes
"Victoria, you may leave William with look after you" she yells at the girl on the table not breaking her gaze
"Get on the table harlot and that the dress of" she says turning to clean the scalpel so I get down to my undergarments and lie on the table. The table is so cold it burns
"Still as white as paper I see" Mrs Elizabeth mocks everything about me while slicing my skin, creating art as she says.
Sebastian
The young lord and I got tired of waiting in the carriage after around one hour so we venture inside the large, old rotten building. Every floorboard creaked when we stood on them that is when a maniacal laugh carries downstairs and flows into mine and the young master's ears; we run up the steep staircase the young master grabbing the wooden railing so hard it created a handprint he will never admit that he cares about all his employees.
We burst into a room with a iron table in the middle of the room and a old, frail, skinny lady standing above our dear Lilith.
I see blood pooling around her body and it's dripping on the hardwood floor; she is cutting into her pale flesh and staining her undergarments.
"Sebastian just leave" Lilith said
I slowly walk over to the old witch I clench my fingers around her leathery skin lifting her up off the ground only to throw her at the hard brick wall.; I pick up Lilith bridal style and take her to the carriage and she sleeps on my lap on the way home, she is almost purring. I pull my gloves off and slowly trace her body and notice a remarkable number of scares.
AT THE MANOR
The next morning I go in her room to wake her up, she is just lying on the bed in a fetal position awake staring into space. She has huge dark circles under her amethyst eyes and her cheeks are moist, she's been crying and not sleeping I guess it brought back memories.
