Virginia makes an interesting point - her mother *could* have sliced her throat. But a part of her must have still loved her daughter even then...

Very nice.

*a million years later* Gah, the last part had me in tears. That was so beautiful.

Very well done. Keep up the good work.

WOW!

Wow. You're right, the mood is rather sad, but the emotion was good and seemed accurate (at least to me). I liked how Virginia realized her mother could have slit her throat and how they both realized there was something good in those belived to be evil. Keep writing.

::cries:: That was wonderful! Keep writing!
