  • realistically if Matilda did beat heathcliff how she did she'd be dead but she's just built different
  • no beta we die like thomas

  Summary

  “Alex, we’re here to talk. We want to help you,” she said.
  Eyeing the girl warily, Brand let out a tired sigh. “I’m in no mood to talk to ghosts,” Brand said, gaze shifting from Matilda to his brother.
