The year was 1892. A very important year in history. Ellis Island opened it's gates to the first 700 immigrants. This small ship and close quarters made it a breeding ground for disease. Typhoid and Influenza was the new pestilence. At this time, an aristocratic mother struggles to raise her 5 children alone. Larkin, a beautiful child, although sickly, was the youngest of these children. She was the pride and joy of her mother, Lady Rebecca Cuthbert. Larkin loved to play with her doll in the garden. As she grew, she became increasingly ill. Chills crawled like spiders up her spine. Fever, and fatigue weighed down her slight frame.
After months of fighting this dreaded disease, she sadly gave in to her demise. After she passed away, her doll was abandoned, along with the dead child's hopes and dreams. All the loneliness, neglect and bitterness began to manifest itself in human form. The soul of Larkin took form in the doll that she loved so. The doll became evil and assembled a band of broken and forgotten dolls who roam the night, searching for someone to care for them.
Lady Cuthbert, did not want the disease to spread to her remaining beloved children. She locked them far away from the world, and each other. Hoping and praying to keep them alive. Oh...they stayed alive....by any means necessary.......................................................................................
Delva, her most beautiful and mysterious daughter. She was locked away in a tall stone tower on the edge of the sea. She stares longingly
at the horizon as the spray mists her face. Word spread to the local town of her undeniable beauty, of which no one has ever seen.............................
Men have flocked to her lair, but not a single man has returned. There have been rumors of strange magic, even stranger creatures...the townspeople hear the cries of torment, but fear keeps them away from the mysterious tower and the beautiful woman who lives there........................
Then there is Eula, a stunning beauty but very angry. Eula was shut away in a small dark cave against the tallest cliff. Far away from human contact. Her eyes grew accustomed to the dark. Her skin has now become sensitive to light and became hard and scaly. As her skin became hardened, so did her cold reptile-like heart... for she knew she would never hold a newborn in her arms. That version of Eula was now lost. So now she attempts to satisfy her longing by leaving her cave at night in the hopes to find abandoned children to care for. She snatches them with her claw, but it's always in vain..........................................
lady Cuthbert had run out of places to hide her children. Her son, Vlad was locked away in the cellar, slowly aging like the wine around him. His mother kept him there for fear of losing yet another child. He slowly became accustomed to his dark, cold surroundings. Not knowing his father, Vlad always knew he was different. he could feel it in his blood- or lack thereof....He wondered why his skin burned in the light of day and why his mother never spoke of his father. But Vlad left the basement without his mother's knowledge under his thick black cloak to experience life unhindered so as to ease his loneliness. If you see Vlad, and he offers you a drink from his goblet, I advise you not to take it. It may not be what you think......................
