DIEU, PARDONNE -MOI

It was a sad evening.Brianna was terrified! Somehow they guessed . Madame Martin was supposed to come back in a week after going to see her sister in the south border town,but she never returned nor was she heard off.Wuth all this going on their first thought was that she ran away until the news announced a church nun had been found hanged upside down on a streetlight pole with a cross made on her forehead with hot metal.The details were not revealed to the public by request of the church to protect its image.

It was done so mercilessly,it couldn't be filmed.The children were afraid that maybe Emma had escaped to come and kill them.Later on a letter arrived with a tape from the rehab home of a confession made by Emma.

All the kids were forced to sit and watch their sister .She looked different.Her face was...... but it was her voice.

OVER THE TAPE FROM THE REHAB HOME.

EMMA:( groans and moans.a smile could be seen from her raised cheek).

Man1: tell them Emma! Tell them what you did last time you came here!

Emma:what don't they already know?

Man2: did ,YOU ,kill Carlton Peterson?

Emma laughs subtly and smiles again

MAN2:did you? Or did you not?

Emma rose her head.her eyes ,dark and deep,a smirk across her face.

" Yes, yes I did! And I'm not done yet! Carl left me and so did all of you! When I leave this place,I will kill each and everyone of you slowly and painfully! I'll make you watch me kill you..I'll be the last thing you see before you die! What a nightmare of a death it is. Huh ( she began laughing hysterically)

" Cut the tape!" The men kept yelling until the tape went off.

The children were all at the edge of their seats.It was quiet all through dinner .The kids all stayed in their rooms including Fiona and Austin.Nobody wanted to speak to the other.Kast sat on the floor,he knew it was his fault.Why did he have to be such an asshole!

After the tape watching,

Claire was paralyzed.It was the last thing she needed right now.Kast was seated folding his arms when he and Claire's eyes met.He raised his brow arrogantly, knowing he was right.

She just sat with her palms together between her knees.It broke her heart,very much.She didn't expect Emma to be like this!

As her eyes welled with tears,Elijah and Ted,pulled her to the library and hugged her as she burst into a heartbreaking silent squeal.

The three were close and so they held each other till Claire stopped sobbing.

Her eyes were sore and so was her nose .Elijah was still holding her as Ted went to get her a glass of water.

Ted walked back into the lobby,the children were still there.Some struck, some shook,some sad, some just blank.Kast however seemed to be more than okay.It was suspicious but not unexpected .He had always been a dick,but somehow Emma managed to deal with it.

And Veronica seemed attracted to him......last time he had checked.

Kast got up upon seeing Ted and followed him to the kitchen.Kast sat on the edge of the table and exhaled sharply.

Ted; don't even say a goddamn word to me Kast! Don't try to make a brother to brother moment with me.I don't like you,I never have and I never will! You may charm the girls,but I can read you like a book and your an empty one.

Kast; I didn't even say a word dear brother.

Ted; maybe not to me but you did to Emma before she left .I saw you go down those stairs and I heard every word you said .I pity the woman who loves.

Kast ; ( clenching his jaws, smirking defeatedly).I only spoke the truth and now you've seen it too....I mean wasn't that her or you want to say I did that too.She just confessed so suck it up ammature .It is what it is.

Ted held the glass of water in his hands and turned to Kast,.

Ted; you hate her now don't you!.She said no to you so you hate her now? Huh?Thank you for being such a disgrace to the male species ,you mutated reptile.

......and with that,Ted walked out , intentionally bumping shoulders with Kast.It was his form of making a statement.Kast just stood there still holding his smirk and breathing heavily.
