Insane Zoey

A short, mirthless smile flickered on her lips before she returned her attention to his shirt, her fingers resuming their gentle, yet unsettling, caress. "At that time, you asked me where Valerie went," Zoey's voice dripped with nostalgia, "and I said you knew where she was better than I did." She paused, her gaze snapping up to meet Harry's, who had focused his eyes on her when she mentioned Valerie. "But I wasn't lying when I said that," she added, her tone low and even, yet laced with a subtle menace.

Harry's gaze remained fixed on Zoey, his mind racing with the fragmented memories of that fateful day when Valerie disappeared; After Valerie tried to kill Zoey for the second time, Mr. Wright ruthlessly chastised her at the hospital and verbally ousted her out of the family. Valerie retorted defiantly like she always did and ran out of the hospital, then vanished into thin air.
