We were welcomed at once by the townsfolk of Robbenvale by royal command of the King. It turns out this mystery king is Sean's uncle! King William welcomed us with open arms, well, only Janna, me, and Sean. He ordered Lucille and her mom out of his castle. We told him, she was related to us, but he doubted that said from his word. Once he ordered them out, they were placed in the girls orphanage. Mrs. Barrington was the receptionist. (If you're wondering where the heck is Mr. Barrington, he died from the incident.) Then, Lucille was put in the "mini assistant" for Madame Friśe. She was the head caretaker. Poor Luce, she broke her back from her work every day(not literally)but she would always write me letters and tell me about her life and I would tell her about mine in the castle once again. I felt so bad for Lucille. My heart ached for her and how she would work really hard and get about 18 shillings a month for all of that work. How terrible. So, I decided to go and be with her. I told Janna and we thought it out.
"Janna?"
"Yeah."
"She was crying for a break yesterday."
"I know, it's really sad to see Lucille like this."
"I should go support her."
"I respect you for doing that for her. You may go on."
"Thanks Janna."
"You're welcome, sweetheart."
So, I put on the straps of my knapsack with my lunch for two(me and Luce)and a book that we drew together when we were young. Then, I ventured off to the orphanage center. I knocked on the door, there sits Mrs. Barrington, at reception letting me in to see her daughter. I sit down by her shaking body, and say, "What's wrong?" She just nods in the way of saying no. She then quietly whispered that she fell on her head and got into a mini concussion. I get worried because she begins to whisper to herself either saying "OK I will do it" or "Leave me alone" constantly. It sometimes would make me think she needed to visit the doctor. After a few days of Lucille whispering those weird sayings to herself, I urged her to go to the doctor and she finally nodded in the form of yes and finally said something rather than the two sayings she'd stick to, she said "Yes." I was relieved to hear something that came out in her voice and lisp rather than "OK I'll do it" or "Leave me alone" for a change. We took her to the doctor and he examined her. He brain tested her to see her scale of how smart she is. "She scored a nine out of ten, but we found something way off of our brain graphs for young Lucille. It appears that someone has either blessed her or flushed her. Once I heard the flushed part, I had a shaky feeling in my spine and skin, and a chill down in my bones.
