Chapter 23

"Is not David, is Eli papa's twin brother," Deborah said in a whisper.

"E-eli?" Christy repeated like it was an absurd.

"Yeah. But shush. Don't let him know, he said he would hurt David and you all very bad. He is evil, he makes David do all that. He forces him." She said in a hush voice maintaining her tone.

"Eli but how?" Christy asked.

"David would tell, only him alone, but keep pretending you don't know, don't let him know you know. He told me I should keep shut about it, he has evil powers he would hurt us." Tears welled up in Deborah's eyes.

"Hey shush Mama has got you maybe is from the shock, or the story papa told you, don't worry." she said shushing her daughter with a hug. It was hard to believe.

"Would you tell me why you look so worried? Since I stepped in you seem to be worried." Elie said to Christy when they were in bed.
