WARNINGS: death (obviously), badly written fight scene.

THEADORA ARRIVED AT THE MANOR, she was to stay in during her visit to America.

"It looks, quite definitely from my home back in europe." Thea observed the house as the carriage arrived past the gate.

"Well it's the only one, your husband. May be rest in peace. Had in America. And with the publics reaction after his passing, is the best place for you to stay in, until the public will accept you again." Theadora's family maid advised to the girl.

"Do they not believe me, I didn't murder him? It's like the last one all over again. Just my luck." She replied to the maid, sighing at the situation she was left in.

"We have arrived your grace." The driver alerted the pair inside the carriage, before opening the door to help Theadora out.

"Well it could be worse." She said to them before going over to horses. Little did she know a group of ghosts were watching her from her soon to be bedroom window. If she received the chance to sleep.

"Well, Rose we best get settled down." She turned back from the horses before acknowledging her maid.

THEADORA SAT IN THE LIVING ROOM, of her new house. Book she had found from the self in hand. Looking a the range of taxidermy animals she had brought with her.

"Your grace, I don't see why you had to bring all of them. Over your basic necessities." Rose entered carrying a tray of tea, while feeling uneasy about the array of dead animals that filled the room.

"Well they are my children." Thea replied quickly, not looking up from the book she was reading.

"Speaking of children, when is my son arriving." She added, thinking back to her newborn child, who was held back with her dead husband's family.

"We are unsure. Hopefully soon." Her maid lied, knowing that it was unlikely for Theadora to be found innocent again.

"Well, anyway. Did you know this was once a battlefield." Theadora asked the maid excitedly, discovering more about her new home.

"I wonder how many bodies lay beneath us." She added, making Rose even more uneasy, even when she was used to this behaviour from the girl.

Before Rose could even reply to Theadoras crazy thoughts, a knock at the door caught both girls attention.

"My first visitor. We must make haste." Thea stood up quickly, discarding the book, rushing to the door.
