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.PENANA5zX8UZr6gz
846Please respect copyright.PENANAKzzEhdtUj2
You killed her...846Please respect copyright.PENANARc8qN2x8pP
846Please respect copyright.PENANAsnwr0Lheuq
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.PENANAPkresk8vwO
846Please respect copyright.PENANALHZ2VrTLrb
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAfRoBhBqhPH
846Please respect copyright.PENANA8WAiKpGmSm
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."846Please respect copyright.PENANAVO6OMLfl1I
846Please respect copyright.PENANA0xIqPOyro5
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OCao7vI4
846Please respect copyright.PENANAfdHZeo7I2N
"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.PENANA3atcTHK1jr
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.PENANAmD6pI7mCHe
846Please respect copyright.PENANAAi6SBOkv5C
"Our daughter?"846Please respect copyright.PENANApsookFqsBo

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.PENANANjRhmvoGeb

"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.PENANAMMqmQ6kqEs
846Please respect copyright.PENANAP97JID68Dn
"Don't be ridiculous!"846Please respect copyright.PENANAb7SzYMwI1i
846Please respect copyright.PENANAMkrCCDTKE7
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA2kfSFQi77D
846Please respect copyright.PENANAAltF0QaXYX
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.PENANAsouCpcD7p6
846Please respect copyright.PENANAROru4e1rLB
"I can't..." He said slowly. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA14Y6cdZH2Q
846Please respect copyright.PENANASmz9ZxNSe0
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."846Please respect copyright.PENANAVIKDVmM4Hp
