((This photostory has really sensitive material in it... I warned you. The italics are Cora narrating..))

Eden: That.. that's it then?! Why would you keep something like that a secret from me??
Cora: That.... that's not all...

FLASHBACK: Months and Months Ago....

I didn't just run away... I had heard that my adopted father was ill, I had gotten an email saying that he was ill months ago... after my first night there, the first night with Pegasus, I decided to brave walking the length of the castle to see him...

Cora: *thinking* I don't understand... V talked about loving someone deeply.. I feel that for Mr. Pegasus... but... I'm confused about how I feel for V... it's similiar but it's not the same...

Cora: I don't understand my feelings fully... for either of them...

Cora: *blushes* But V was right... it is different with someone you care for that way...

Cora: But right now my father is sick and he needs me... I will think about these things later.

This was the first time I had ever seen him in person... I thought he would make a good father so I decided to adopt him as such... I remember he was resistant at first but then finally agreed to be my adopted father.. I didn't have a last name that I remember until I took his... He was supposed to be my father now...

I don't know exactly what had happened to him... but he was unconscious in his bed... I felt guilty because I should have been there months ago to nurse him like a dutiful daughter... I covered him up and tried to make him comfortable..

I was sad... I don't like to see people sick like this... there was nothing I can do for him...

So I held his hand and tried to be comforting... I had a bad feeling... but I ignored it.

I felt like there was a heavy evil around all of his room... but I pushed my fear back... a dutiful daughter should not be a coward....

Cora: *feels Croquet's forehead* It seems like you're running a fever....

Cora: *thinking outloud* I should get a cold cloth or something...

Croquet: *sits up suddenly, grabbing a fistful of her hair*

Cora: *lets out a yelp, reaching back to where the hair is pulling on her scalp* HEY!!

Croquet: *in a quiet whisper* I sense your purity of heart.... *grabs Cora, pushing her face down onto the mattress with uncanny force*
Cora: *begins to scream* Stop it!! Stop it!! What are you doing?! What is the matter?!

I fought him off the best I could... I screamed as loud as I could... he was very strong... I started to cry... This was not my father... this couldn't be the man I adopted to parent me...

When he started to grab at me this way... I started to slap him... clawing at him... he wasn't phased at all... I did anything I could...

Cora: *kicks at him* Get away from me!! YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER!!
Croquet: .........

Cora: *begins to try to crawl off the bed, sobbing violently* I forgive you... I forgive you...
Croquet: *grabs her ankle, attempting to pull her back to him*

I fought the best I could... he was unusually strong... the only thing I could do is keep screaming and hoping that someone heard me..

I don't remember much after that... only my own screaming and crying...

But other then that... I don't remember anything.... nothing at all...

Eventually I remember crawling away after he had finished... my tears had all dried up... the only thing left was a dark pit of despair...

I ran away from the room as quickly as I could...

Eden: *looking completely shocked and appalled* Oh.. oh my god Cora... how... how could he... he was.. your adopted father... how the fuck could he?!?
