Mr.Amber has always wanted a son.
He couldn't adopt one from a children's home because his wife, Jane, didn't want any children.
He had to let go of his little dream of having someone to take over his inheritance when he was dead.
He didn't trust Jane with his possessions, because he knew he wouldn't take care of Ava. So when Cadoc was orphaned, he made arrangements to make him his own. Now he had an heir and he would rest with no worries.

Now, about 5 weeks after, Cadoc has grown accustomed to the new place he's in. He can find his way to the little local market, to the bookkeeper,and most others.

He was getting along with everyone...well everyone but Jane. She had begun to despise him. It had been growing inside her.

It's good you're here...it was lonely when I stayed her alone. Look at how big this room is. Now it's a lot smaller.

CADOC
Yeah...it's think so. Is it weird to be in one  room with a girl?

AVA
It's a little weird. Since we're not related and all. (Pause) You never told me about why you were isolated. All you said was that you were hiding from someone. You haven't told me about your dad and mum.
If it's okay with you, you can tell me about them.

CADOC
(After a moment of thought) Well I can't tell you everything. My mum and I hid from some people...they want...
