Chapter 2

Victoria waited in her home, drinking th last good wine she was ever likely to have. In less than an hour the police would come for her. She'd been under house arrest, but it would soon be over. For all her money their was no way to avoid this, God knows she tried. Victoria's greatest sin was coming back to haunt her. She knew she deserved this, Amanda Clarke deserved her revenge. As Victoria waited for the police her daughter Charlotte came for her. Charlotte had recently learned the truth, that she was David Clarke's daughter. Charlotte's sister Emily was here. Clearly she wanted to see this.

Victoria: What do you want?

Charlotte: You lied to me, sent my father to prison for the murder of innocent children. Before you go to prison I wanted to say goodbye.

Victoria: I tak it then yoy won't visit me in prison.

Charlotte: No. I never want to see you again. I hate you.

No sooner did Charlotte say those words than came the gunshot. Charlotte fell down, dying in her mother's arms. Victoria saw Emily with the gun. Before she could react Emily shot Victoria. Not enough to kill her but enough to keep her down. Charlotte tried to speak, but she could't. She died on the floor.

Victoria: Why?

Emily: I wanted you to see her die. I want you to know that she died hating you.

Victoria: She was an innocent, your own sister.

Emily: Yes she was, but she was also your daughter. She didn't deserve to die, but I wanted to kill her, to make you watch.

Victoria: You will pay for this. If it takes a hundred years in prison I will make you pay for Charlotte's murder.

Emily: I know. Wherever I go I know you'll be coming for me. But until you find me, you'll have to know I'm out there, living my life, my final revenge. All either of us has now is revenge. I'll be waiting for you.
