Ash Creek
Ella for Yvette Vanderbeck
Yvette is a living doll created by the town's toymaker. She has an almost motherly way of conducting herself, her voice gentle and nurturing yet knowing. She's a woman aware of the secrets the town holds and keeps them to herself very well.

I'm sorry if I'm a little off today. It's hard to describe it but something's changed. It's a chilling sensation. Like the frigid moments you lie there, watching your killer run as fast as they can away from the scene while you feel the blood leak from your body and your fingertips run cold before sleep slowly takes you over. Something is taking us over. Something's slipping away from us. I know everyone else can feel it. I know you can feel it, too.
I know what you want from this, Miss Wavery. You want a SCOOP. You want an interesting story to share with people. You want people to love you for your work but the work isn't yours, is it? You steal from other people's lives and gain your popularity that way. I hope you earn good money, Miss Wavery. How about I tell you an interesting story?
I enjoy playing the piano in my spare time. I work as the assistant and housekeeper for the Longneck Inn. The inn-keeper is very old and I know he appreciates the help. Though it's unfortunate we don't get many visitors.
