Everyone stared. The frail looking woman had caught the man by the shoulders and was shaking him, her trembling lips muttering the same thing over and over again.846Please respect copyright.PENANAIwDQ9yD1Hh
846Please respect copyright.PENANAtzDxE8uLkX
You killed her...846Please respect copyright.PENANALjHdu2iaiq
846Please respect copyright.PENANA4mgsXfgufZ
I couldn't even entertain the thought... It was Uncle Elias who always gave in to Jolly's whims and fancies. It was he who never scolded her even when she deserved it...Not a chance...Not...846Please respect copyright.PENANAEPqhj4JZET
846Please respect copyright.PENANA63YZHzbZYg
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAqLRdV98B3I
846Please respect copyright.PENANAXrYbWBHOiO
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."846Please respect copyright.PENANA9n5qSmy971
846Please respect copyright.PENANAiT1YNURjVw
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA8LO5PiM8I2
846Please respect copyright.PENANAvvVwXmycQ4
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."846Please respect copyright.PENANAr6iZD5Sqf5
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?846Please respect copyright.PENANARFSDe2JoPc
846Please respect copyright.PENANAHHcq5C3NRn
"Our daughter?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAIUaecqa0Ik
846Please respect copyright.PENANAZP6rSuwSvb
I started. The malice that suddenly blended with the insane grief was quite unsettling. The voice started in my head again, muttering incoherent, half formed sentences. It was angry and...or to put it rather melodramatically...thirsty. Thirsty for what? The simple word popped effortlessly into my mind - vengeance. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAlt2FMcBuld
846Please respect copyright.PENANAGt2qoKL5Dg
"I can see my niece as my own daughter." She exclaimed. "But you...But why Pinky? Did you hate her because she wasn't the perfect child you wanted?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA9g1IMrAG26
846Please respect copyright.PENANAAwK8p3w4UP
"Don't be ridiculous!"846Please respect copyright.PENANA8c9IjP0TFm
846Please respect copyright.PENANAn18HBPtwo6
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA2I4dgSGMD5
846Please respect copyright.PENANA2jfxf5o0TY
Murmurs started and slowly a stony silence spread. I couldn't think. Niece? What in the world was happening? Murder...The cursed word had come up again...Why wasn't Uncle Elias denying it? Why was he looking away pointedly, a pained look in his eyes? 846Please respect copyright.PENANAbk5hwkdVp2
846Please respect copyright.PENANANTW37hAgM8
"I can't..." He said slowly. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdQycMkxqVD
846Please respect copyright.PENANAxyyg2SqAaE
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."846Please respect copyright.PENANAbVRujY9geO
