The Green Dragon - Part 2

[Lyra Greenleaf]

"Well, perhaps it was for the best, if they were so willing to let you go, perhaps it was best that you went. Just as I thought it was best to get away from my relatives, with their hurtful words and opinions."

"What?" muttered Ellie to herself, disregarding the rest of Drago's speech.

"The best?" she burst out, pacing the room frantically "You think it's good that I was sent away from all my friends and the good part of my family to stay with people who hated me and only wanted me to go against my Took relations? Well, you're a lovely friend I must say!"

Ellie stopped pacing and pointed a shaking finger at Drago's nose.
"I suppose you think it's good that they called me names, and always told me off, and blamed me for everything, and, and..." she trailed off, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"You don't know anything! My family had to let me go because the Chubbs were closer relations, stupid!"

Her eyes filled with tears. "I thought you were my friend, but you're not. I hate you! I'm going to go back to Champignonne. She'd understand, she's a Took. Not some...Hedgeworth" she finished disdainfully, and ran out of the room sobbing.
