1800s aliannawinter amateursleuth drama fairytale killings murder mystery sleuth tobysmart

-The first of two spinoff stories from the Alianna Winter Mysteries-

Tobias (Toby!) Smart isn't exactly your average fourteen-year-old. To be honest, his seventeen-year-old brother Tarquin Smart, or Quinne as he prefers to be called, isn't exactly average either. Both boys, as well as an unfortunate inbred skill for baking, have more brains and a sharper wit (and in Tarquin's case, a sharper tongue) than most adults they've ever met (other than perhaps their mother). But when a young child from the village is found dead, having been smashed on the head with a mirror, Toby and Tarquin finally get to start putting their skills to good use.All Rights Reserved

Tattered ‎‧₊˚✧[Jameson Hawthorne]✧˚₊‧ by Lollypoppy_1239

Gabriella Tettreda and her twin brother Matthew had nothing. HAD nothing. Before they had almost everything... except loving parents. They were awful, abusive both physically and mentally. If the twins so much as breathed too loud, there was a punishment. This started when they were four, and Matthew learned to quickly hate them. Gabi didn't. Every day, she would hold out hope that their parents would see the mistakes and start loving them. They never did. Out of the blue, when they were 14, Matthew proposed they kill their parents, and leave the wretched house. Poor, shocked Gabi agreed, but in the moment, she hadn't known the stain it would leave on her soul. Gabi and Matthew were living on the streets. Begging got them everything they had, which was some cash, and two dark blue wool coats. Either way, they were grateful. One day, a boy who looked to be the same age as the twins came, and offered them dinner. He came everyday for 2 months, until the time he was scheduled to come, he brought an elderly man. This man was their salvation. Tobias Hawthorne. BTW: Some characters have been abused, but I have never gone through this, so if I get some things wrong and you know, I am so sorry. I DO NOT OWN THE INHERITANCE GAMES PLOT AND CHARACTERS, ONLY THE ONES I HAVE CREATED.
