Cecilia was the rope in the McKenna tug of war, everyone knew it - her family sent her spiralling, tripping on the web they had spun so much so that 'puppet' would not only be the epitaph scrawled on her grave, but the number one option in a game of describe Cecilia McKenna in five words.
Mara Draycott would instantaneously combust after gushing about how Cecilia McKenna, although a puppet, was the epitome of charismatic, sympathetic, selfless and the-girl-who-changed-my-life.
Chester Evans eyes would roll as words like puppet, graceless, clumsy, coarse and witty would be lost in noncommittal sighs of disinterest in Cecilia McKenna.
Lola Sinclair, ever the vocabulary snob would adamantly state that puppet, credulous, superfluous, outré and astute all adequately suit Cecilia McKenna.
Jude Beaumont would tilt his head, flutter his eyelashes as the cogs spun, but settle with Cecilia McKenna is alluring, entrancing, enthralling, enigmatic, a puppet.
Milo McKenna would refuse to answer because 'CeCe is more than just words strung together!'
Alas, Cecilia was currently the living embodiment of betrayal as anger coloured her face - the street lights had strained to keep the darkness away as the words "Puppet you are." clawed their way out of a mouth set in a smirk of ill-concealed malice.
The web had been spun, and Cecilia McKenna was the bait.
