I was born December 8th,1942. Making me 18 years old.
My full name Is Davina Greer Lair Maclellan. I'm the only child of The lord Charles Francis Maclellan and the lady Lily Brooke Lair.
My mother's lover is named Christian Maine, an American. And I assume my siblings father...if I have any.
My father refused to be with any woman other than my mother. He loved her and she left.I was conceived before they were married but they didn't know,they were children of 18.
My mother's father forced them to marry after finding them in bed together. Obviously my father was the only man she'd been with at the time,so my grandfather Edward Lair forced them into to marriage a month after they slept together,making my mother a month along with me. But she didn't know it until she's at least 3 months, she had a hard pregnancy with me. The doctor had her on bed rest,because he feared my mother would miscarry.
December 7th,1942 my mother fell down the stairs. No one knows if it was purposely or accidental. She just claimed to be getting water,it was midnight so no one called her a liar but her diary tells different...then what she told. They dragged my mother's bleeding body into the bedroom and tried to save us both. Which was unsuccessful,I was born dead. But after my father was told of my death, everyone went silent because they heard a cry. Somehow I was alive.My mother acted happy but later wrote in her diary the disappointment of my failed death. My father was happy but not too happy. He wanted a boy, with my fathers disappointment he began to ignore me. Their travels would last longer than they said and they would leave earlier than normal. I was hated, soon my parent's went to Africa. They discovered many thing's and learned many things. They extended the trip four months , then they met 'him'. My mother was curious about the man, he was american. In all their travels they had never met an american strangely.
The night they were supposed to rest to board the ship early,my father woke up early to find my mother not beside him. He and some others searched for her. When they made it to the docks,they saw the mans ship had already sailed off toward america and they couldn't reach them. Some young boy later found my father and handed him and note in my mothers hand writing,she had been sleeping with him since they met and she ran away with the man.
My father soon sent word that I should be sent to my mother's sister and be raised in England. Which was the only family that actually accepted me, My father was orphaned my 14 years old. He was an only child, his mother died from giving birth to her second child and the child did not make it over a month after birth. His father had so much grief and sadness built up over the loss of his child and wife, he killed himself. There is a watch tower near the house , his father had got up to the highest point and jumped into the water below but instead of just going into the water he was thrown against large rocks and basically crushed.
My father than became the owner of everything.Now I own everything.
I've never ran a house, but I don't think it will be too hard. Or perhaps it will.
Ever since I heard of The Cave, I have had dreams of it, my thoughts have not left the idea of it. Even the dream about Alasdair. Who is he? Perhaps I had a memory of a past life.
But according to Lucious and Nikolai I can't leave the bed to find out. Great. Honestly,How am I suppose to run a house, research this Alasdair and return to the cave?
I'll have to wait it out.
