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.783Please respect copyright.PENANAAmIKwtqDng

You killed her...783Please respect copyright.PENANAB6uj4QatJt
783Please respect copyright.PENANAgjq9zDA4Sf
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...783Please respect copyright.PENANAeuYYb9ph0C
783Please respect copyright.PENANAn1s8zUHJXW
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAbi04EIgh38
783Please respect copyright.PENANA5QVTn38vUu
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."783Please respect copyright.PENANAisDu6h8cml
783Please respect copyright.PENANAotjnmI0WSP
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAsxLMVmXiwN
783Please respect copyright.PENANAjbRzGbZ88k
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."783Please respect copyright.PENANA63fhJ8F1cC
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?783Please respect copyright.PENANA5OcEDOZl64
783Please respect copyright.PENANA1PRrlUoJmF
"Our daughter?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAF8xKLanC1K

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. 783Please respect copyright.PENANACnPpCb52dt

"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?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAyQaC8CNt1H
783Please respect copyright.PENANAUfbbd3RsAn
"Don't be ridiculous!"783Please respect copyright.PENANAlXWsV2Ughp
783Please respect copyright.PENANAsWvlpftVLn
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"783Please respect copyright.PENANADcW4pLBOYQ
783Please respect copyright.PENANArZb8oDRGnV
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? 783Please respect copyright.PENANAwbc3WddoWI
783Please respect copyright.PENANAzMMXqZCy2a
"I can't..." He said slowly. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAJV4WDs8g0u
783Please respect copyright.PENANAHgoUz31RKV
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."783Please respect copyright.PENANA8XckQvxIBK
