"I went flying to my grandpa's study room which was on the first floor. I stood in front of the big wooden door and tried opening it. The door was locked. I slowly took out the key embossed with the triple spiral and carefully inserted it into the keyhole. Then very cautiously I rotated the key and for my surprise the lock swiftly released and the door opened with a crack. Standing on the doorway, my heart leapt with happiness and anxiety as to know what lay hidden inside my grandpa's study."

But Abigail had a secret. Damian told me so, the first time I met him. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. He wasn't trustworthy. He wasn't nice. He was a terrifying figure, the embodiment of fear. But he was right. She had a secret. I'm sorry I keep repeating it. It's still hard to believe. How could somebody so gentle, nice, and loving be so... scary? That's the only word I knew to describe her after it all ended. Everything about her being was scary.
