I never lacked for the obvious things, food and clothing and schooling. But as a girl, I would never measure up to the standard of perfection Papa believed in. My brother and I are twins, and I always felt like an accessory to Mason. Lesser in every way. Mason has...a cruel streak that Papa encouraged. I do not know if anyone noticed what he did to me, but I do know no one would have lifted a hand to stop him. I tried to kill him once, and failed. Dr. Lecter, my psychiatrist, told me it was because I still love him. How messed up is that? I paid for my failure. I paid in ways I could not have foreseen.
