Tristan Lambert

16th June 2016

Tristan Lambert. A stranger within his own home, in a cycle of unwilling change. They have all suffered it. Tristan, and his sister.

His real sister. Not her though. Not the other girl. Luck is on her side. She isn’t cursed. She isn’t a part of the real family jewels.

He slumped down. In times like these, he was glad Odette killed herself. It saved part of my sanity.

The air stinks. There is no possibility that James hasn’t figured it out yet. I’ve sold myself to fools.

Tristan Lambert. There is no cure for that. But if money could buy it, they’d make it their goal to fix him. He stamped his cigarette out on his already well scarred hand, staring up at the family portrait. He insisted on keeping it for himself, even after she died

It’s bittersweet. There was a part of him wishing they were still a family, as much as it hurt. If he shut my mouth for once, they’d still be one.

He looked more like her now, Odette.. More than he ever did.

It was his attitude, she had moulded him to be like her.

He loathed it.

They both look like her too. Adeline has her eyes, but Rosalind has her glare.

She looked at him like Odette did. With hatred. Like he had killed a child in-front of her. That glare.

That glare that made him petrified to move out of place even once. That glare could singlehandedly kill a man, if she wished it to.

He always believed that getting high was meant to make him feel better, but it only made him think more. Exhausted and drowning in self-pity, if only mother dearest could see him now.

A soft knock hit against the front door.. 1am, and there was a knock?

Tristan shifted, walking to the door slowly. Being as quiet as he could, to not wake his father or sisters.

And there stood before him.. His best friend’s little sister.
