Life of the Deceived Ch. 4
Chapter 4
As I sat in this chair, folding the dried clothes in front of me, I looked back on the past month. Obviously Lord Cumberbatch was given no choice but to let his wife know of him firing Margaret for her unethical ways. Unfortunately, I had to bear witness of their argument soon after, which then led to Lady Cumberbatch secretly punishing me with a switch to the back. I was forced to keep quiet of my sentence for reasons she has threatened me with countless times before.
My back was still sore from those lashes. I can still hear the sound of the switch as it scrapped against my bare skin. My muffled cries so I could not give what h
It seems that it has come to this, I kept thinking as I paced back and forth. I felt that I would go mad if I was not constantly moving about. Even some of the mice at the yard felt that I was a vicious predator that at any given moment I would strike if any of them dared to come too close. Since my arrest I had not seen Dawson or my wife, but I was made aware that my friend and colleague had attempted to speak with me. More than likely that detestable mouse refused his presence to be made known to me for he thought that the doctor would help me find a way out. No, never would I allow him to stoop so low for me, not again.
I assumed when Vo
I paced back and forth within the closed confinements of my cell. I was cold, hungry, but more than anything, agitated with one Inspector Vole. He speaks of my innocence and yet he did nothing as his new Chief Inspector took me away in handcuffs under false pretences. He had come to speak to me earlier regarding my daughter’s disappearance, but I would hear none of it, not from him at least. I told him I wanted to hear this Chief Inspector Cunningham’s idea of the crime. I wanted to know why he assumed I would stoop so low and kidnap my own flesh and blood.
“I will see to it that he speaks with you,” Vole had told me,

Please, let this all be a horrid nightmare, I pleaded inwardly as Paula and I trotted through the harsh winds and heavy snow. It was the coldest that England has seen in years, and right now I regretted every second while I fought to keep my wife going. Being six months pregnant and having complications for four of them, I knew that her accompanying me was poorly judged on my part. Strict orders were given to both of us that she was not allowed to participate in any strenuous activity and somehow she managed to talk me into her being by my side.
Miles back, our train had caught on fire and it left us stranded in the middle

Like Father, Like Daughter
October, 1906
Before he became a father, he always found children, no matter what age, a bit of a nuisance. Though after meeting young Olivia Flaversham, his heart of stone seemed to shatter and warm the ice. However, it was only her that he grew fondness and showed any sign of affection for. Indeed he had come into contact of other children after that particular case, but his actions towards them were still distant. But it made some wonder if the famous Basil of Baker Street would finally step out of his life of loneliness and isolation, and finally settle down. As much as all still hoped, when it finally did happen, it came as a shock when

Interview. Paula Basil-Mendez
1) What is your name?
*sighs* Of course this would be the first question. My name is Paula Basil, maiden name Mendez.
2) Do you know why you were named that?
I was named that because my mother was apparently too drugged. No, I was given the name Paula because she didn’t think Sara suited me, though she didn’t realize that she was naming me after my grandmother.
3) Are you single or taken?
Well since I mentioned my maiden name, I am obviously taken. ^_^
4) Have any abilities or powers?
Well not as much as my husband, but I do have some self-defense skills (hand-to-hand, shooting a revolver…*shifts uncomfortably* th
