Got to love a good ol' Scottish Ballad! :-D

I loved this. I think you did a wonderful job capturing the feelings of the elder sister and expanding on the story in the ballad. I thought it was a great touch that you had her question whether her bones would be turned into a harp as well. You gave a "voice" to the one who was hated and made her more of a person and less of a villain--you humanized her.

My only complaint is a very mild one. "The line: "my mirror image." doesn't seem quite correct. If she were a twin, that would work, but she is her younger sister and described as the fairer of the two in the original ballad--thus they are not mirror images of each other. But this is a small thing and doesn't detract from the rest of the writing at all.

Beautifully written.
