Of Women
Because you’re so special, darling. She heard how smart you are and wanted to see you.
Shh, Twila. I’ll see you soon. It’ll be just like summer camp. You’ve always wanted to go, haven’t you honey?
I’ll take good care of her, I promise.
My name is Celeste and I am seventeen years old. What’s your name?
Are you... okay, Twila? Are you happy here?
Let’s go to the zoo.
Shh, Luna, it’s okay I’m here.
Oh. Oh my. I’m sorry Twila. Could you just... give me a moment? Thank you, dear.
Twila, I have something very important we need to discuss.
Do you understand?
You’re very bright, Twila. And I believe in you.
How are you doing, Twila, it seems like it’s been forever since we’ve talked. How’s my brightest daughter doing?
Twila Sparks, you must understand the gravity of this. It is... beyond my control.
I don’t need you for physical strength, Twila. If I needed that I would’ve called on one of my guards. No, this is a game that a woman must play. This country has always been lead by females, and you are no different.
You are no ordinary girl, Twila, and neither is the one you are meeting.
Don’t fear the darkness, Twila.
