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.766Please respect copyright.PENANAx5porRLvGA

You killed her...766Please respect copyright.PENANAzIZ1MtYTQZ
766Please respect copyright.PENANAHfG18tP4sd
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...766Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDwWvwILv
766Please respect copyright.PENANAkK8cqGg7eI
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"766Please respect copyright.PENANA9xF7t3Ptv6
766Please respect copyright.PENANAhV0mS6vGqM
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."766Please respect copyright.PENANA3yliBFEfbJ
766Please respect copyright.PENANAGiCQjVF5uP
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"766Please respect copyright.PENANAnU7Stpors0
766Please respect copyright.PENANAtYx3riFE71
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."766Please respect copyright.PENANAf6L2R28YDH
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?766Please respect copyright.PENANAX0vGlwiDuM
766Please respect copyright.PENANA4WDi0XhUO7
"Our daughter?"766Please respect copyright.PENANABtXuCfhSEV

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. 766Please respect copyright.PENANAghOUXoGqed

"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?"766Please respect copyright.PENANABPKwRqc6NL
766Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5LUbj3wih
"Don't be ridiculous!"766Please respect copyright.PENANA5GMDfzSkFD
766Please respect copyright.PENANAxD5rl3tNh9
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"766Please respect copyright.PENANAwumfnEjdDI
766Please respect copyright.PENANAdb3953fud5
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? 766Please respect copyright.PENANAXCUmnvcIdg
766Please respect copyright.PENANAAuBaqK9yNm
"I can't..." He said slowly. 766Please respect copyright.PENANAbqZlwZOAaX
766Please respect copyright.PENANAhNhHSkmKg9
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."766Please respect copyright.PENANA7c1JOVVu29
