Estelle looks William in the eyes for a moment, before bringing her gaze down to her untouched food, "I don't know what happened at the rock foundry, I really don't know. Some voice, some man came into my head and told me things, compelled me to get the stone. I didn't even know it was there and then the next thing I knew I was attacking him. I don't know. It's just, sometimes I have these urges, these flashes of anger that get into my head and make me do these crazy things."
She pauses, taking a deep breath.
"I left my home because I attacked a boy. He was someone I'd grown up with, played with in the fields. He was like my brother, like all of us kids. And one day, we were alone by the river, he said something about my mother and then next thing I knew he was laying face down on the bank with blood all the place. They ran me out of town after that. I don't even know what happened. I didn't mean to do anything, and he lived, but it wasn’t the same. It’s just these urges, I don’t know when they come and I can’t control them when I do. And then when that stone was crushed, my head exploded it felt and then the same voice spoke to me, told me that he’d see me soon, and called me his daughter. I never had a father, and my mother died giving birth to me. I don’t know. If you want answers, I don’t have them. I just have to try and control what I do and deal with it when I can’t control it.”
