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.701Please respect copyright.PENANAVXiuMAxqcn

You killed her...701Please respect copyright.PENANABX6cuRG169
701Please respect copyright.PENANAdBghCwp5ho
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...701Please respect copyright.PENANA1pP75fm3PP
701Please respect copyright.PENANAAulyaiELXZ
"She told you that she knew, didn't she?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA012W70c9Gq
701Please respect copyright.PENANAKUwXeG03gJ
Uncle Elias bit his lip. Without meeting her eyes, he said. "She did."701Please respect copyright.PENANANuO7vlvGhF
701Please respect copyright.PENANATpR8TyeHpX
"And you thought she became a danger, didn't you?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAECl4DQUWCn
701Please respect copyright.PENANANHKwHlVt9k
"What?" He tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off. "Daisy, we are talking about our daughter...Please..."701Please respect copyright.PENANAetkEp8BMsX
His eyes were dry but I could sense the tears trying desperately to rush out. How could Aunt Daisy make such wild accusations?701Please respect copyright.PENANAccaNk8UIDU
701Please respect copyright.PENANAXhofhHLhIT
"Our daughter?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA4w2M8aECFG

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. 701Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dmv5BtR81

"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?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAiRZXROaY7U
701Please respect copyright.PENANAgzH69Q57gC
"Don't be ridiculous!"701Please respect copyright.PENANAGhz0wixFfb
701Please respect copyright.PENANA3tZTogd1qw
"Being ridiculous, am I? Can you look into my eyes and say you can't commit murder?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA9d2U0kKmIL
701Please respect copyright.PENANA3PmhfJLtkN
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? 701Please respect copyright.PENANAan5sVqYjaj
701Please respect copyright.PENANAvGjqqXGr3e
"I can't..." He said slowly. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAH5KhofLvhI
701Please respect copyright.PENANATZxUVGpWGZ
The voice filled in the unsaid words. "But I didn't kill my kids..."701Please respect copyright.PENANAgFnCTN7HGW
