This chapter is dedicated to my reviewers who sent me kind words of encouragement to keep this story going. You are all the best! I apologize for the extended hiatus. This chapter is also dedicated to my sister. She is the best ever! Without her, there would be no story.
Now without further ado, here is chapter 13!
Chapter 13
Year 1889
*SMACK*
The sound of flesh striking flesh echoed throughout the hall. Servants ducked their heads, thankful that they were not the ones to draw their master's ire.
"How could you be so clueless, you idiotic girl!" The lord of the manor growled, raising his hand to strike the cowering figure in front of him. "Now we will have the whole of London upon us for your mistake!"
"I'm sorry, me lord." The figure cried, the mark on her cheek stinging. "I dinnea mean ta..."
"To what?" The lord spoke harshly. "Leave the body of my idiotic son out for all to see?"
The girl began to shrink into herself, as Lord Hamm berated her even more.
"You idiotic girl," he growled once more. "You can forget about your clan's safety now."
He turned and spoke to his butler.
"Take her back to the room."
"No, please! Anythin' but that!" The girl cried, as she was picked up roughly. "I will do better tha next time!"
But her pleas fell on deaf ears as she was taken out of Lord Hamm's chambers.
The butler wanted to feel sorry for the poor girl as he locked her behind an iron door, but he couldn't.
After all she wasn't human, he reminded himself as he walked away, the banshee's scream's fading.
Dipper's screams still rang in the small room, as the Undertaker opened the door and rushed in.
"What is the matter, young one?" The silver haired man asked, looking Dipper over with unseen eyes.
Dipper stopped. Sorting through the answers in his head, he answered.
"Just a bad dream." The male twin answered. "Where is Mabel?"
"She is asleep in the other bed," the older male replied.
Dipper quieted down once more. The Undertaker knew that he would open up and tell him what was the cause of his cries. They all did in the end.
