Tori had fallen asleep in bed still holding her journal in one hand and the pen in the other. Her eyes fluttered open when she felt the bed shift from someone sitting on it, or climbing on it.
She glanced over at the clock. If it was THING he was either really damn early or really damn late. Either case wasn't like THING, so it was doubtful. She also doubted the nanny, the driver, the maid, and her family... it was just out of character for them to come into her room unless she was out of it.
She really didn't want to look towards the foot of her bed to find out what had caused the shift but she knew she had to.
She was about to prop herself on her elbows. She probably should have been more cautionary but she was to tired... or, was she dreaming again. Either way she wasn't sure. She yawned again and finally looked to the foot of her bed.
Nothing. Now Tori was a bit spooked. She sat up a bit more and was about to scoot to the edge of the bed to get up and investigate. But, there was that feeling again, the bed shifting due to weight. This was really getting old fast, and wasn't funny at all.
She glanced down at the foot and this time she saw a woman grinning at her... an unknown woman at that. Now she knew she had to be dreaming. There wasn't any explaining this. Because she knew that this person didn't have a key... then again that didn't mean that she wasn't able to get in through other means. But, if by other means why hadn't she heard anything.
"They're cute," the lady said as she crossed her legs and put her hands on her knees. "You've got quite the cozy spread going for you... Amazing how far a little gift can take you."
Tori couldn't place it why she wasn't already on top of the girl trying to rip her apart for invading her home. It was almost as if she knew she didn't have to worry... that she knew this person. But, she couldn't place her. She didn't remember ever seeing anyone like her.
"Come on you don't remember me..." she pouted.
Tori wanted to shake her head no but thought it unwise. Instead she opted to remain silent.
"Philip's sister," she said in a hurt voice. "You know partly your maker. It was after all me who show you how to have a good time," she chuckled. "I was a little heart broken when I returned after that wonderful party to find the house covered in blood. No brother. No you." She genuinely smiled.
Was this part of what she'd forgotten? She wanted to ask this girl so many questions. But asking those questions would let on just how much she'd forgotten and just how much she didn't know.
"Even though you've apparently moved on," she motioned to the cribs where the twins were resting, "I'm glad you're at least alive. I take it Philip isn't... I just know he isn't. If he was you'd two would still be going steady..." It was apparent she was just as lost about some thing as Tori was about others. She was also just trying to make the best of a 'bad' situation.
Tori instinctively looked down at her hands. She had to blink several times over to get the vision of blood on her hands to go away. "I buried him next to the large tree in the front yard. I burned the rest of the bodies out back... Murrey helped me..."
"You don't remember do you?" She said as she climbed up into the bed to sit next to Tori, who looked like a helpless, confused heap of girl. "You loved him. It is only natural that you'd block out something so traumatic..."
"I guess," Tori sighed. "Can I at least get your name?"
"Gwen. However, you preferred rfered to call me Lady G," she answered softly. She understand that often times if an event was traumatic enough that a person could block it, not remember it... with the exception of a few bits here and there. Apparently Tori rememeber nothing, nothing at all. Tori didn't even seem to know that they'd share a bed together. She tried to not act hurt. She caressed Tori's face and wished she could do something for the girl.
