Flashback continued...

Shawn and Matthew were astonished by what they discovered when they reached the spot. Clara held a bloodied dagger in her hand while Emelia lay on the ground in a pool of blood. Chris stood there like a statue, stunned into silence.

Shawn dashed towards Emelia and held her. " Mom, What happened? H-how?"

Shawn was lost for words. For anyone who saw the scene, it was clear as day that Clara had stabbed Emelia, but Shawn didn't want to believe it. He still hoped that he was wrong.

Emelia tried to speak, but she was having trouble breathing. Shawn checked her wound, and he could smell wolfsbane.

Matthew was equally shocked and approached Lea. He held her arms and asked, " What's going on, Lea? What happened here?"

Lea didn't reply and just stood there quietly with a blank face.
