Grizelda

My name is Grizelda although I'm used to being called names such as :
"Spoilt". "Undeserving". "Horrible".

But it's not like they understand why I act like this, in fact the only person is Charlotte because she actually listens unlike those other idiots.

~ 5 years ago ~

Nine year old Grizelda and her father watched helplessly as mum was dying and they couldn't do anything about it. The doctors ran restlessly around the room trying to keep Miss Merkel alive and Grizelda and her farther tried talk to her mother. Immediately, the room fell silent once Miss Merkel started to speak and the doctors started to write things down.

"... Benjamin.."

Mr Merkel immediately grabbed his wife's hand and whispered,
" Yes dear?". His wife then turned to her daughter.

"Grizelda?! ", she panted. " Yes Mummy!", Grizelda answered as she held her mother other hand. Miss Merkel looked into her daughters eyes for a moment then turned to her husband.

" Ben I want you to get my... ~cough~" she paused then started speaking again clearly struggling.

" I want you to get my daughter whatever she wants."

Mr Merkel and his daughter looked at each other and smiled before Marlene started to speak again.

"I want her to live the life I had. I love you both ~cough~ ."

Marlene Jenny Merkel died later that night.

I pressed the repeat button as I heard my mother's words over and over again. After at least 5 minutes someone knocked on the door.

" What?! ", I demanded tears streaming down my face. My butler, John, then came in telling me,
" It's time for you to visit your new friend Credence at his house ma ouzel. "

I huffed and crossed my arms at the thought of him. From what I was told he is a total nerd who is only my friend so he can get money for his "inventions". Although Charlie might be there so that's an upside.

"I also heard your other friends, the triplets, might be their too", finished John. I squealed at the thought of Charles' face and rushed past John into the limo.
