Mordea's past…
(the explanation for confused readers!)
Well, I guess I owe an explanation for Mordea's behavior in chapter 8! (To literally all of you) I apologize for that outburst of Mordea's too. (Plus, I was on a roll while writing and I guess I got carried away) Plus, in truth, Mordea is, hard as it is to believe, jealous of her sister.
(Backstory time!) When they were growing up, Mordea was the attention seeker/diva and always wanted to have attention. She had all of it in her home until Lex came into the world. Originally, she was happy about it until she found out a lot of the attention had to be given to Lex. And she did what most kids do when they're unhappy: throw a fit. (Unless that kid's got a halo on their head, in which case same rules don't apply) She didn't like the attention taken away, so she bullied Lex as payback, so maybe she'd feel 'loved' as she would say again. Sadly, this little girl didn't get her wish. When she was 12, the Mordea's mother died of a disease I can't think of. This kinda broke Mordea in a way. She away deeply sad, but also angry for some reason. She never stopped bullying Lex and it became worse. She blamed her mother for it and how she felt and such. She was never the same, and only got worse. In truth, Mordea didn't hate her mom, whom she truly loved with all her heart, but was just consumed by jealousy and depression. Her feelings were just hard for her to express and it lead to her being a…meanie (I'm sorry, I could use the B word, but I don't want to.) THIS is why she hated her mother. (End backstory!)
I feel like we owe her some sympathy now. Not a lot, just a bit is all I ask. Writing this actually made me sad! :( So there we have it! An explanation to Mordea's madness!
