Cinderella, Queen of Rats Ana Meets Maddie
* * *DrizellaAna had hurried her way into the washroom to take a bath before I could ask her any more about the marks on her back. She was so defensive about it and insistent that it was nothing. We were always really close sisters and it seems like in a matter of days we have drifted apart.I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at the door to the washroom with a frown, listening intently.
