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.844Please respect copyright.PENANAo1oFBjYO1N
844Please respect copyright.PENANAbiJikRBnNn
You killed her...844Please respect copyright.PENANAksOFusRo63
844Please respect copyright.PENANAiugBMTNK64
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...844Please respect copyright.PENANAcbqtCl1jjG
844Please respect copyright.PENANAlHx68XVTRt
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"844Please respect copyright.PENANA8NpyycJsXP
844Please respect copyright.PENANA4s0wEJJg9Z
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."844Please respect copyright.PENANAVy04UocFpC
844Please respect copyright.PENANASzHZvq9D1H
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"844Please respect copyright.PENANAQUb49nc0r4
844Please respect copyright.PENANABbSYoo6NPX
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."844Please respect copyright.PENANAUZcn3kf8PA
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?844Please respect copyright.PENANAX7LKzYLwG8
844Please respect copyright.PENANA1ik0SkgP1q
"Our daughter?"844Please respect copyright.PENANAX77I9UOKr3
844Please respect copyright.PENANAa7EoF4CNFp
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. 844Please respect copyright.PENANAXd9GvWPEld

"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?"844Please respect copyright.PENANALlazAFZPEU
844Please respect copyright.PENANAfEGQx9vFMf
"Don't be ridiculous!"844Please respect copyright.PENANAGnxSL57rR2
844Please respect copyright.PENANA7KypPKF4VV
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"844Please respect copyright.PENANA1eVWr4MTZt
844Please respect copyright.PENANASDUBOMTUMi
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? 844Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ46sxEP4d
844Please respect copyright.PENANAtN8aMr2hav
"I can't..." He said slowly. 844Please respect copyright.PENANAE0qeRydrXV
844Please respect copyright.PENANApSjMH8TCF9
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."844Please respect copyright.PENANAGM0tMOemyw
