Prologue
Page 1
Violet Reed turned yet another page, in the novel excited to see what would happen to the main characters Cara and John, and their forbidden romance-Her reading was interrupted by her sister Catherine, Yelling at the top of her lungs. "VIOLET! Mama wants you!" She hesitated for just a moment knowing full well that if Greta Marten, wanted something from her it meant trouble. Closing her book she slowly made her way to the house when she got her "mother" was waving her hands like a mad women and frantically searching under everything in sight not even thinking twice before throwing things on the floor to look underneath them. When she finally saw Violet, her eyes looked about ready to pop out of their sockets, her face was as red as a ripe tomato, and her hair was in a rats nest all of a sudden an ear shattering screech escaped Mrs. Marten's lips.
"YOU!" she shouted heading toward Violet, in an uncontrollable rage.
"Where is it you stupid girl?!" raising her hand to hit Violet across the face if she should say anything that Greta thought was untrue or even move a semi-threatening way.
"I don't know what your talking about." Violet cried,
maddened by her answer Greta, swiftly brought her hand down hard onto her adopted daughter's face nearly knocking Violet, over in the process.
"Where is it you little brat?! Wheres the locket you stole I know you have it!"
"I don"t know what your talking about. I didn't take anything I swear." Violet said hot tears running down her face.
She was used to Greta, taking everything from the laundry not being clean, to her husband leaving, out on her. The only reason she stayed there, was because Violet, didn't have any way to provide a home, and food for her little sister there real mother had died before Violet, was old enough to learn all the necessary things to know in life.
