The Origins Of Mrs. Afton

Dropping Down Dead

POV: "Clara" Afton

• I'm going to make this a bit more cannon so it makes sense I guess. I'm going to call C.C Evan. I normally call him C.C and I may in future stories just for now I'm going to call him Evan. Evan is older than Elizabeth for now. The nightmares aren't going to be real for now but I may add them in for future stories along with make C.C younger than Elizabeth 😌

It's been eight weeks since she's gone missing. I miss her dearly. Evan is terrified. He had witnessed whatever happened to Elizabeth. I can see it in the twinkle of his eyes. He's scared of something. He keeps talking about these nightmares. He insists their real. He is only a child so it's most likely a figment of his imagination. Michael has continued to scare Evan. I believe he's just trying to get the words out of him to hear what happened to Elizabeth. It's a possibility Michael blames Evan. Or maybe Michael is trying to toughen him up. Whatever it is I insist I will never hurt any of my children. William may neglect them, but  they are my wonders. My family. William doesn't care. All he thinks about is work. I still love him but I don't know why. I wonder why I stay here. I stare back up at myself in the mirror. My makeup has already ran down my face like a waterfall. Now my face is covered in black inky makeup trailing down from my eyes. A lot of people say I resemble my mother. She died when I was about 8. I remember her a little bit though. But I must go now. My children are probably worrying. Every now and then I try to convince Michael to stop picking on Evan. He won't listen to me. I have always told him that if he acts bad only bad will come. I still love Michael though. I know Michael loves Evan. When William and I leave I know that Michael pats Evan's head when he's sleeping. (No I don't ship Michael x Evan that's disgusting their legit brothers. This is just in a brotherly way.) I know Michael tries to comfort Evan when he's asleep. I hope they bond one day. Soon. But I don't think that day will come soon. Anyhow I mustn't waste anymore time. Someone needs to make lunch for the kids. William keeps leaving often and doesn't come back until late at night. I don't know what he does. I can only hope he isn't cheating on me with other girls. Anyhow I guess I must leave now. I hope everything will be alright with my family.
