"What have I told you about doing that- the more I look at you the more you remind me of you psychopathic Father!" Mrs Riddle back-handed Alani. "First he forces me to marry him because I will bear him amazing children, then he gives me a manic Daughter! Why can't you be more like your Brothers- they are normal!" she screamed. Alani's heart sunk, she knew that her Mother was right, she was crazy. "You have ruined my life, you are so creepy, you always hide in rabbit holes in the back garden, you talk to the animals like they talk back, you talk to yourself. You're a selfish entitled princess- it's a good thing that Ivan has been hurting you- it might teach you to be normal! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Mrs Riddle slammed Alani into her desk, a vase smashed on her face, leaving a gash down her mouth. Mrs Riddle then stormed out.
