lydia draven for @smallcowplant‘s bedelia
the year was 1831 and margaret draven was buried in her final resting place. the young woman’s early departure left her husband henry draven gutted. a scientist specializing in the animation of inanimate objects, henry set to work creating something new.
the year was 1834 and draven’s work had finally paid off. as the rain pelted the windows and thunder shook the world, lydia draven was “born.” a doll modeled off of the late margaret, one of two things could have happened. either margie was a freak of nature or henry got the proportions off, because lydia came out looking a little... odd. this fact did not bother henry in the least as he fell in love with his beautiful creature. it is not known if henry saw lydia as more of a wife or daughter, but either way, she stayed by him into his old age to take care of him. throughout the years, lydia wrote journals, documenting her time with her “master.”
the year was 1876 and henry draven suffered a fatal heart attack and unbeknownst to lydia, he has arranged to have her buried with him. the rain was pouring as the townsfolk arrived at draven manor to take lydia to her grave. she fought back, but it was useless, her screams were silenced as she was placed six feet under.
the year is 2019 and a young man named michael rohan goes gravedigging. after finding the diaries of lydia draven in an abandoned manor, he has been hellbent on freeing the “woman” from her captivity. upon emerging from the ground lydia has realized that life is meant to be lived. she has entered this bachelorette challenge in an attempt to make something of the so-called gift master draven gave her all those years ago.
