I wake up to another boring day and get up, heading downstairs to see if we have any cookies left.

We do.

Thankfully, Father left a lot of food.

He disappeared one day, and never returned after his nap.

Edward has been teaching me how to dine, act, and read.

He says I'm doing good.

I go to the garden.

Edward tends to the hedges while I take care of the flowers.

I love to admire his creations.

Grabbing the watering can, I tend to the garden.

I yank out any weeds.

The flowers open and I see bluebells and blood red roses.

I then grab the shears and cut a few flowers and bring them inside.

Then I take care of the thorns.

Once it's finished I take a rose and head upstairs.

I place the rose behind my back and wave Edward over.

Edward comes over.

"What is it?" He asks curiosity consuming his face.

I then take out the rose and place it on his suit.

He looks down and smiles.

"Thank you Cameron." He says poking the rose, frowning when a petal falls off.

I nod and smile as we head back downstairs so Edward can trim the hedges, I always like to watch him at work.

Then we hear a sound, someone is coming!

I push Edward back up the stairs and we hide in the attic.

I push him to the dark corner and I wrap my arms around him.

Edward whispers "It's okay, it'll all be fine."

Edward tries to comfort me but accidentally cuts my face.

"Sorry." Edward whispers, I nod.

I lay my head on his chest when the lady that was following us suddenly enters the room.

She looks around before her eyes land on us.

"No need to be afraid." She says advancing.

Edward uses his elbow to push me off before walking to her.

"Oh, I see that I must have disturbed you. I'll go." She says.

I sigh.

"Don't go, we're not finished." Edward says placing his hands out.

The lady screams before gasping.

"Those are your hands?" She asks.

"What happened to your face?"she asks almost touching his face making him flinch.

I get up and run at her.

'Go away! You're not welcome here!' I try to shout but all that came out was mouth noises.

Edward catches me with his arm.

"Calm down, she was explaining that she doesn't want to hurt us!" Edward says.

I stop struggling and look up at him.

I sigh and push Edward's arm from me.

I look back up at him and nod.

He turns to the lady as she puts a cotton ball on his face.

"Do you two have names?" She asks.

"Yes. My name is Edward. That is Cameron." Edward says.

Suddenly the lady looks at us and says "I think you both should come with me."

Once we get in the car she drives off, Edward is in the front seat and I'm in the back.

We see a bunch of cool stuff!

Edward and I both point to it and she screams of surprise.

Edward apologises before looking back outside.

Then he tries to lean out the window only to hit his head.

I reach forwards and grab his head.

"I'm okay Cameron." Edward smiles.

I smile back at him.

"Is she your sister?" The lady asks.

Edward nods.

"Why doesn't she talk?" The lady asks.

"She can't." Edward says

"Oh, is she mute?" The lady asks glancing back at me in the mirror.

Edward turns to her confused.

"You know, have messed up vocal cords." The lady says referencing to her throat.

"She doesn't have vocal cords." Edward shakes his head.

"That explains why she doesn't have any sound coming out." She says.

I tap Edward and make a back and forth motion with my finger.

Edward nods and says "Cameron doesn't want to talk about this anymore."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The lady says

We get to a blue house and stand outside.
