Fair Charlotte’s eyes were closed in death, Her voice was heard no more. I can’t take it any more. It’s my fault that Jay died and I don’t want to be here if he’s not. Please tell my parents that I love them – and that I’m sorry. Sophie. For a long moment I just stared at the note in my hand, reading it and rereading it, hardly able to believe what I was seeing.She’ll have a plan for you too, Cameron had said. But I had never thought that she would actually want to kill me. I thought back to those schoolgirls and the teacher who had died and wondered whether the Frozen Charlottes really could persuade one person to kill another. I knew that Lilias dearly loved Cameron and would never willingly do anything to hurt him, and yet she had destroyed the thing he prized the most. I knew suddenly what I had to do – I had to get the dolls out of the house, every last one of them.But there was something else I had to do first.
