I change a part here 8/20/21)
It was Early in the afternoon, Finnian 'Finn' Roselocks just finished up an order for a lady who owns an orphanage. The order was the usual the blonde haired and blue eyes with a fancy blue dress and black and white socks, It was the typical porcelain doll which she usually does.
"Thats all for today..."
Finn told herself as she places the Porcelain doll aside as she stands up from her seat and stretches. A knock was heard from the door,
"I wonder...who is..knocking?"
Finn thought as she removes her apron and opens the door to see her father and then moves asides so she can let him inside of the room. Her father, Mr. Roselocks, asked her daughter.
"Hello Finn, hows the order for Ms.Bridget coming along?"
She then hand sign to her father in response,
"It was good I'm going to deliver it today, how's mother?"
She then waited for her father to answer, but a sigh left his mouth as he scratched his neck and hand signed in response.
"Well, your mother is still ill, don't worry Finn, she's alright. She is a strong girl, like you."
Her father reassured Finn and ruffles her golden brown hair. As he was about to leave, he reminded Finn something,
"Oh Finn, remember you have to stop by the store after your deliveries. Okay"
"Oh....kay.."
Finn said softly as her father nods and leaves the room. She then went to her work space to started cleaning up the table and brings out a basket. She places the Porcelain dolls inside boxes and wrapped them up with a pink wrapper and finished it off with a white ribbon tied around it, after that she then places the now wrapped porcelains carefully inside the basket.
"That should do it, now to prepare..."
Finn said to herself as she fixes her dress. Finn the went downstairs afterwards with the basket full of porcelain dolls and places it on the kitchen counter. As she went over to the coat rack to grabbed her white hood cloak, she heard a cough behind her, So she turned around to see who it was.
"M..Mother?..why are..you not in..bed?"
Finn asked softly, just enough to reach her mother's ears.
"Well...you nearly forgotten your Magic Pen..silly girl...it was on your table,"
Her mother said as she went up to the girl and gives her magic pen.
(Finn speaks in very slow,soft tone and shows no emotion laced to it when talking..)
"You...should be..in bed."
Finn told her mother, which made her mother laugh and hugged her daughter as she rested her cheek on her head.
"Oh Finn, your mother is strong. Now go along, be back before dark."
Her mother said to the girl as she kisses her Daughter's forehead. Finn then hugged her mother one last time before grabbing the basket in the counter and as she was about to leave the gates, Finn hand signed to her mother.
"Don't worry mother, i will be back in before sunset. Please rest,"
Her mom could only chuckle and hand sign back.
"Will do Finn, be back soon and don't forget you have to the go to the store afterwards."
Finn then responded with a thumbs up a left. Mr. Roselocks went besides her Wife,
"How long will she stay silent dear?"
Mr.Roselocks asked his Wife, she could only sigh as she feels her husband's embraced.
"Its been years since the accident, i guess she still holding onto the past. We will never know but for now..let's respect her choice dear."
"*Sigh* i guess your right, you should get some rest dear. I will get you some tea,"
Mr.Roselocks kisses his wife's cheek then pulled away and headed to the kitchen.
"Oh thank you dear."
Finnian's Parents gotten used to to her being silent and always communicating using Hand sign gestures, but slowly they're daughter somewhat is trying to communicate to them normal by speaking. Yet whenever she speaks it's slow and no emotion at all, but its soft and not to loud.
"When will you speak up..Finn."
Mrs. Roselocks thought as she went upstairs to their shared room.
____________________________________
In the streets of Pyroxene, Finn is somewhat out of place..because the way she dresses and her aura is somewhat mysterious. So many people would just stop what they're doing and lock their eyes on the girl as she passes by.
"Oh look, its Finn."
"Did you hear she makes creepy dolls.."
"So old fashion like come on~"
"Is she sad? or is she having a bad day."
"It creepy she looks like the dolls she makes..."
"Like, look at her outfit...she dresses so weirdly..no wonder people avoids her."
"Who buys porcelain dolls nowadays? Like there are more better things to buy."
"The usual rumors...of course"
Finn was used to hearing these comments behind her back, More like she was used to it. She then reached the Orphanage to meet up with Ms. Bridget, she enters the orphanage and rings the bell on the counter,
No answer from the person on the front desk. So she rang it again and this gained the attention of the lady in the front desk. She looked to see the Finn standing there.
"Oh! Finn, good to see you deary. Im guessing your here to deliver what Miss Bridget asked for, Correct?"
The lady asked as Finn answers in sign,
"Yes, where may i place it?"
The lady in the front desk knows sign language so she knew what the girl asked.
"You can place it in the table over there, i will call Ms. Bridget, please sit down over there."
Finn then nods as she takes her basket and places it on the table and sat on the chairs in the waiting area. She then looks at her feet and moves them back and fort, And sooner or later she heard a voice, it was Ms. Bridget, approaching the petite girl.
"Hello Roselocks, thank you for these dolls, the children in the orphanage will be happy."
Finn the hand signs in response,
"No problem Ms. Bridget..."
"Oh, before you forgot, heres the payment. Good work today Roselocks."
She then gave the payment to the girl, as Finn gets up and hand signs in response.
"Thank you! I must get going now...bye,"
And with that She leaves the orphanage, Ms. Bridget looks at the dolls and pulls out one from the basket of dolls
"Roselocks sure knows what she is doing, i wonder when i can hear her voice once again? It wasn't her fault to begin with.."
Ms. Bridget thought as she strokes the hair of the doll.
"Was the girl always like that, Ms. Bridget?"
The Lady from the front desk asked,
"What do you mean?"
"Well, i know its rude to assume but, is she mute."
"Oh no! She isn't, she just chooses to be mute because of um...personal reasons."
"I see, well then miss, lets give these dolls out to the girls."
"Okay."
Ms.Bridget, the owner of the Orphanage, was present during the time of the accident. She saw the dead eyes in the petite girl's when holding her dead friends body. As officials tried to ask her what happened, she didn't responded.
"I hope someday, she will get over the death of her friend...but what can i do, I wasn't in her place when accident happened."

"*Achoo*"
"Are you alright Finnian Dear?"
Finn flinches as she was pulling out payment for the things she bought. She just shook her head, as she grabs the items she bought from the store went out, not forgetting to wave farewell to the owner, and started walking back home. As Finn was walking down the path she encounters a group of kids bullying a boy.
"No one is gonna save you because your weak and have no magic!"
"D-Don't say that...your being mean!"
"Look he doesn't have any magic and so he can't fight back, lets beat him up again boys!"
The poor boy was hopeless and was already been beaten up, Finn then saw a carriage coming right at the group. The group then pushed the beaten up boy right in the path of the carriage as it was speeding, Finn without thinking she lets go of everything and Started running to save the boy.
"i swear...i hate running!"
She thought while running towards the direction of the boys and pushed her way from them and shielded the poor beaten up boy from the impact of the carriage, scratched her knee on the road, until the carriage went to sudden stop. The poor boy stood up in fear and Ran away from the scene, Finn tried to reach out but its too late...he was no where of sight...Even the group of boys who bullied him as well was no longer in sight. Finn just sighs and tried to stand up, felt a sudden sting in her right knee.
"*grunts*..Well...that was..sudden.."
Finn thought while trying to stand up, she then looks towards the carriage one last time before walking away from it, but the carriage followed behind her. Finn grabbed the things she dropped earlier,
"Well i might as well get new eggs from the store again...its getting dark, maybe tomorrow- huh?"
She then felt something nudge her, it was a horse, the one from the carriage from earlier.
"What does it want? I have no carrots.."
Finn thought as she blankly stared at the animal, and she starts walking around it to see a coffin.
(Thats Yuu/MC 0v0)
"Is this the angel of death or something..."
Finn thought, suddenly the carriage opens,
"What....in the..."
Finn said softly as she can, and thought.
"Does this carriage wants me to go inside?"
A long silence, until she finally decided,
"Well...curiosity kills the cat.."
Finn thought as she enters the carriage...then everything went black...

Mr. Roselocks said while giving the envelope to his wife,
"Oh my, she has been chosen to create a doll for their festival."
"Thats rare, because its an all boys academy, maybe they saw one of Finn's Male dolls." <Mr. Roselocks>
"True, and speaking of Finn...its late, she hasn't come back yet."
Mrs.Roselocks said worriedly, while looking out of the window,
"Maybe she must have gotten lost-"
A knock was heard,
"Who could that be?" <Mrs. Roselocks>
"Mr. and Mrs. Roselocks, its me.....Dire Crowley..."
