Doll Eyes; Prologue

Seemed like only yesterday; a brand new baby girls nursery room full of toys all shiny and new, with the neat and clean aura of everlasting happiness buzzing about the mansion. The pleasant scent of baby powder accompanied giggle filled lavender bath-times and mothers jasmine perfumed hugs and soft kisses.

There she sat like a princess, waiting ever so patiently with sparkling silver eyes looking forward and a painted pretty smile on her perfect, porcelain face hoping to be loved.

Her hopes were answered after a few short years, with day long tea parties in the gardens during summer, accompanied by lessons of the word and languages alongside the darling children and their tutors.

But there she sat, listening, watching and being absolutely perfect with her pretty painted smile.

Soon the children grew into young adults.

No more time for spring garden tea parties or lessons in the warm summer sun, now her place was a corner in their room, on the floor, by a chair.

She watched their feet come and go, their once sweet and carefree voices didn't sound so sweet or carefree anymore.

Shrill screams, quiet crying and hushed whispers sometimes filled the bedroom.

The everlasting happiness didn't seem to be so everlasting anymore...

In a room high upstairs, with all the other toys, children's books and things of play from yesteryear was where her next place of residence would be.

And here she stayed, with all the other toys and disregarded things... unwanted... forgotten...
