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.843Please respect copyright.PENANAt3VcMdOyGR

You killed her...843Please respect copyright.PENANAznlXRalsYZ
843Please respect copyright.PENANAjS9OBzs2zU
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...843Please respect copyright.PENANAnjoIhI3nI4
843Please respect copyright.PENANAttb9KLCt7a
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"843Please respect copyright.PENANASoO3aaPItz
843Please respect copyright.PENANAXSMdCMxg0W
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."843Please respect copyright.PENANA3AMyjjc1Vo
843Please respect copyright.PENANANxgfM2b8iI
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"843Please respect copyright.PENANAPCjDSpCvJb
843Please respect copyright.PENANAlwvTJOVnA5
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."843Please respect copyright.PENANAJIOcCCiZ18
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?843Please respect copyright.PENANALnxBBB4hwU
843Please respect copyright.PENANArjlqc84oXs
"Our daughter?"843Please respect copyright.PENANAx3GXWdOwEr

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. 843Please respect copyright.PENANAslnMqBXy4y

"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?"843Please respect copyright.PENANAZochRN1JzU
843Please respect copyright.PENANA69UfIOYoba
"Don't be ridiculous!"843Please respect copyright.PENANA9CfeOTlMp8
843Please respect copyright.PENANASrjG6pYS4u
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"843Please respect copyright.PENANA9gxfSXnVo2
843Please respect copyright.PENANAjjdNaG0znb
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? 843Please respect copyright.PENANAQj8dYndjco
843Please respect copyright.PENANAg9EwC0gwEB
"I can't..." He said slowly. 843Please respect copyright.PENANAkGBS9A07nM
843Please respect copyright.PENANALEkWGoDTUR
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."843Please respect copyright.PENANAoz3vOcCrat
