Family Values

She had her dorm room to herself. Not standard policy for EU but when your family have been patrons long enough to have their own scholarship fund you get a bit of leeway. That and the last member of her creepy family to enrol went through five roommates in the first month. The administration thought it best to nip that in the bud rather than gamble this one would be less “eccentric” than her forebears. They were glad they did when she moved in and brought all her luggage inside a coffin. Why are the wealthy always the kooky ones?

In her case the answer was obvious to those in the know; Her family estate was in a thin spot smaller but just as fragile as the University. She had grown up on top of the fractured boundaries between realities. As a result she knew all the mysterious Rules when she got here; Which made it even more spooky when she broke them constantly. She would go out without iron or salt, she wandered the forest at night, and she always…ALWAYS used her True Name.

No one understood how she hadn’t been Taken yet; Other than Them of course, They got the message loud and clear. That name told of a long and ancient story of love, war, death, and truce, long lost to history; Human history at least. However the ending was short and simple, “This one is off limits”. She knew this well enough, she didn’t need salt, iron and noxious herbs, just her name. She was an Addams; Family was protection enough.
