Blinking in utter confusion for a moment, Jody smiled again, and pushed into the woman, a long needed, and long wanted hug. She smiled and closed her eyes, the demonic side of her dissipating for the moment. All she wanted was this, and now she had it.
"You're a fantastic toy," she whispered, suddenly pulled away. "You need to be treated," she mused, and pondered on this for a moment. "But how to do so?"
She began to pace now, hand on chin, going back and forth, thoughts swirling, ebbing, surging, before dissapearing. Then she turned to smile at her.
Janica, we must give her what we have. We must give her the gifts we have! she declared in their communication, eager now. She took Remy p into her arms, and stepped through the hole in the play room, turning into a long dark corridor. She made her way down there, nimbly avoiding books and other dusty manuscripts. The night of their death, they were being punished, banished from the small birthday party in the main bedroom hall, the reason the others were saved.
But they were being excluded for the fact that a matron had found them snooping through the books in the old library- something forbidden for the children. But Jody and Janica were far too curious for their own good, knowing by then that they were to never have parents.
She paused at the large door which pressed into the stone, reaching almost to the high ceiling. She kicked it open, and made her way in, dropping Remy in a seat. She smiled at the grandour of the room, books on mahogany shelves reaching up to the ceiling. She stared around, her eyes darting back and forth through the books quickly. They then rested on the empty space on one of the higher shelves where the book they had read used to be. She now stared around wildly, before she noticed the thick black leather bound book in the large waste paper bin. Stepping over to it, she picked it up, heavy, very solid. It was about six inches thick, coaked in a layer of thick dust.
She dropped it in front of Remy, and searched through the old yellowed papers inside, often imbossed with golden swirling letters, larger than the rest to signify the beginning of a new chapter.
She turned them over quickly, searching for the page they had read on the night of their death.
