I saw another girl stab Katherine with a sharp piece of porcelain that was probably from an old doll in the toy chest downstairs. She probably bled out before I made it back to the room, because I saw her body there once I went back to check. A mental girl named Claire, who I felt was completely off of her rocker, despite her young age, was the one who killed her. But again about the spirit, ghost, dead girl, whatever you wanna call it, she saved me, the lunatics tried to kill me but I didn't really witness much of this, as one girl covered my eyes with what I thought was a torn piece of cloth. All I remember is waking up in my room, the door locked, a candle glowing softly, and the kid, well spirit there. She told me her name was Olivia and that she died in a fire that happened in this orphanage in eighteen fifty before Missus Harris was its Mistress. Sixty Eight years ago this fire happened, but that's besides the point. Olivia died at age eight, and somehow nobody else could see her. Well I told the staff the truth and they said ‘okay’, But then they told the other girls that Katherine was adopted, and told everyone I was not well in the head. I tried to tell them the truth, that Claire O’Malley killed her and I wasn’t crazy, but they never believed me. I still wonder what they did with her body. Nobody ever came to take it away, so they either buried her somewhere without telling anyone, or morbidly keeping her body for heaven knows what. I hope it wasn’t the second, but one can only hope.
Cassandra Carlton is an orphan, but her orphanage has a secret, a dark, dark secret. Her and her sister Elizabeth were waiting to be adopted like any other children would be, but Elizabeth found a key. That simple key opened a lock to a door that hid information so obscure, so unforeseen, that none of them would ever have predicted it.
