DISCLAIMER: I, in now way own the X-files. However, if Chris Carter would like to cut me a share.... I have NO problem. (: Court pt. 3
DUDE, how mothereffing long did it take me to update. Super long. Let's just say I've gotten a little sidetracked and I apologize. Plus, I've been stuck on this chapter for so long. I don't watch court shows. But, I finally got it done. Now I'm uploading it in between working on my bio homework, which is super long. This chapter is super long too. Is anyone still interested? I came p with such a great ending, so I hope you are. (Anyways, I think it's great.) So, if you're still reading; please review. I have a pretty good feeling that I'll be more on top of updating.
William was sitting on his bed in the dim morning light, which had crept in through his windows when Scully stepped in, clad in her dark purple silky robe with the match pajamas. She smiled, seeing her son rubbing his eyes with balled up fists. She instantly remembered how he would do so as a baby.
"How did you sleep sweetheart?" Scully asked, walking over to William, and wrapping an arm around his small body. She hugged him, the memory she had just remembered not leaving her psych.
"I slept good." He yawned, now returning the hug to his mother.
"What do you want to eat for breakfast?" William smiled, letting Scully know what he wanted without uttering a single word, "Yours and Daddy's favorite?" She guessed; William nodded. "Mommy's apple pancakes?" He nodded excitedly again, sleep leaving him almost completely.
"Okay sweetheart, go wake Daddy up." William did as he was told while Scully made her way downstairs into the kitchen.
William crept silently into the bedroom. He saw a mess of dark blue blankets on the bed and knew his father was somewhere in that mess. He could see his bare leg. William came up on Mulder's side and gently shook him awake.
"Daddy," he whispered. "Daddy," he whispered again, causing Mulder to roll on his side, now facing Will.
"Daddy's tired, Will." Mulder said, eyes still shut.
"But, Daddy... Mommy's making our favorite for breakfast." His eyes finally opened, and William smiled.
"Apple pancakes?"
"Yep."
"You should've said so in the first place, Will." William giggled and ran to the bathroom door to retrieve his father's black robe.
"Here you go, Daddy."
"Thanks, Buddy."
Mulder carried William down the steps in his arms and made his way into the kitchen where Scully already stood mixing the pancake batter. He sat William at the island, and William watched his father go up behind his mother, wrapping his arms around her and then nuzzling his face to her neck.
"Morning, Scully," Mulder said, followed by a kiss on her neck, causing her to giggle. She spun around in Mulder's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she saw William in the corner of her eye. Immediately, she smiled at her little boy.
"Wanna help me, Willie?" William, his eyes never leaving his parents, nodded excitedly. Scully walked the bowl and wooden spoon over to her son, who then began stirring. She cocked her head to the side and smiled at her loving husband who waited for her at the counter. She took a few steps forward until she was in front of him, and she stood up on her tippy toes, pressing a tender kiss to his lips.
"Morning, Mulder," She said against his soft lips. His hands began playing with her soft long red hair. "You have that job interview today, remember?" He nodded, as her lips still lingered on hers. "I'm getting off early, so I'll be here when William gets home from school. Then, we can all have an early dinner." Her speaking slowed, "Then off to the court house." Mulder pressed his lips to hers reassuringly.
"I love you," he whispered, but before she could answer, she pushed herself away from his arms and took off to the downstairs powder room. Mulder was on her heels. William hopped down from his place at the island and ran after his parents in shock. He stopped at the bathroom door when he heard the noises of his mother emptying her stomach into the toilet.
"Daddy? Mommy?" William asked nervously with a hint of fear lingering in his voice.
"Will, everything's okay. Go back to stirring the batter, please."
Mulder held Scully's hair back for her as she finished. His other hand rubbed her back up and down.
"Are you finished?" Mulder asked in a soft tone. Scully's face that was once full of color moments ago was now pale. She nodded slowly. "You think you're coming down with something?" He helped her up to her feet. He leaned against the wall next to the towel rack. He held her against his chest. "You were fine just a few minutes ago."
"I haven't been feeling right the past few days."
"Why didn't you tell me this?"
Scully shrugged. "It's nothing, Mulder... really. It's flu season."
"Do you think you're coming down with it?"
"I hope not. I'll take it easy at work today... and I'll be good for court."
"I don't care about court. I want you better."
"I'll be fine. I'm just going to go upstairs and brush my teeth so I can finish breakfast. Okay?" He nodded. Scully always knew what was best for her. There was no reason to argue.
The snow fell peacefully outside, and Scully sat in the front room idly looking out the window. She was tired. She was munching on an apple, which sat with the corer beside her. It was around 3:10, and William was to be home any second. Scully turned around from the window and picked up her book, 'The Last King of Scotland.' Not ten seconds later, she heard a car door shut. She turned to look out the window to see who it was, even though she already knew. Once she saw William walking happily up the walk way all bundled up, she got up to go to the door.
"Hi, Baby. Did you have a good day at school?" Scully asked tenderly to her son after she shut the door behind him.
"Yep," William answered as he began taking off his hat, gloves, and scarf. "Mommy, I'm in the Christmas play!" William was beaming brightly at his mother
"You are? Wow, who are you gonna be?"
"I'm one of the three wise men."
"Aw, that's exciting sweetie. I can't wait to see it. I'll have Daddy bring the video camera and-"
"Where is Daddy, Mommy?"
"Daddy has a job interview, remember? Scully and William were now in the kitchen. William had his homework in front of him as he sat at his place at the island watching his mother.
"But I want Daddy to play with me... not go to work."
"He'll still be able to play with you, Will. He's just gonna work too." William pouted. And Scully sighed, not knowing how to cheer her son up. The day already wasn't going to be that great with the court and all. "Hey, Daddy will be home in a few minutes." William finally smiled, causing Scully to as well.
"Can I have my snack, Mommy?"
"Actually, sweetie... I'm gonna start dinner right now. We're having lasagna." Just as Scully finished that sentence the door opened. William's face lit up.
"Daddy!" He jumped down from the high stool and ran right into his father's arms. Scully smiled and followed her son, but not as fast.
"Hey there Willie. I guess you missed me, but did your mother?" Scully raised an eyebrow and wrapped her arms around both her husband and her son.
"Of course not," Scully said with a smile before kissing his lips.
"Yes she did," William said with grin. William ran off into the kitchen leaving his two parents alone. "Feeling better?" She nodded.
"Just a little tired now."
Ashlynn came over minutes later, and the two children went upstairs to play in the bedroom, leaving Mulder and Scully both downstairs by themselves. Mulder sat in the dining room, paying the bills that had come in the mail that week, while Scully began dinner. Once Mulder began calling it quits on the bills, he began to watch Scully hurrying about in the kitchen. She seemed like such a natural at it all. It never failed to amaze him what a wonderful wife and mother she was. She already had three chicken breasts in the oven, rice on the stove, and green beans on the stove too. He got up from his seat at the table, placed his glasses down, and walked over to Scully, who was still hurrying about. He wrapped his arms around her waist in an attempt to soothe her, and he rested his chin on her shoulder. She closed her eyes and leaned into him.
"Slow down... you're only going to get even more tired." She nodded.
"We can't be late today, Mulder. We just can't. Today counts the most." He pressed several tender kisses to her neck.
"We're not going to be late, Scully. I promise you that." She then spun around in his arms to face him, and she got up on her toes to press a kiss to his lips, but that's when they heard a scream, followed by another scream.
In an instant, they left each other's arms to dash upstairs to William's bedroom. Mulder was leading the way, but Scully's was following closely behind. Mulder would've knocked down the door if it wasn't already slightly ajar.
Both parents calmed down at once when they saw the two children perfectly safe, just sitting on the bed. Both Ashlynn and William were hugging their knees to their chests, which made them wonder.
"William! Ashlynn! Are you both okay?" Scully asked in a rush, her hand resting on her forehead.
"We heard screaming. Is everything alright?"
"We're fine, Mommy... Daddy."
"I just saw a spider." Ashlynn pointed to the corner of William's dresser.
"We heard two screams," Scully said, as Mulder went over to the dresser to investigate.
"Ashlynn pushed me down... but I didn't scream."
"Yes you did. You screamed like a girl."
"Look who's talking, you are a girl!"
"Rather be a girl than a scared boy who acts like a girl." Mulder, who had just triumphantly let the spider out the window, came over to Scully and wrapped his arm around her waist and they watched the two bickering children. They let it continue to see if they could sort out their differences, but Scully decided to put a stop to it all when a serious battle of 'am not –are too' went on.
"Hold up hold up." Scully said, trying to suppress her laughter so she would maintain the appearance of an adult. "William, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a girl."
"Yeah, bud... your mom's a girl and I love her." Scully smiled.
"And Ashlynn... why did you push William down?"
"I screamed when I saw the spider, so he called me chicken. Then I pushed him towards it." Ashlynn said in her small voice, pulling at her pig tail.
"Aw, sweetheart... you shouldn't have pushed him." Mulder said softly and then turned to his son. "Will, you shouldn't be name calling, should you?"
"No, Daddy."
"I think you should both apologize to each other," Scully said, leaning her head against Mulder. He still had his arm around her waist.
"I'm sorry, Will."
"Me too, Ashlynn."
"Well, Mommy and I are going back downstairs. She has dinner –"
"Dinner!" Scully yelped, remembering she had items on the stove and in the oven. She took off out of the room, heading back for the kitchen. Mulder finished his sentence and followed after her.
"William... do you like me less than your other friends because I'm a girl?" Ashlynn asked softly. It took William a while to answer back, either he was thinking of an answer or to engrossed with his legos, which he played with across the room. Ashlynn hopped off the bed and came closer to him and sat down next to him on the floor.
"You're my best friend... my first friend here besides my mommy and daddy and Mr. Skinner. But I guess they don't really count."
"No... I guess not. So I'm your favorite?" William nodded, and in turn Ashlynn grinned widely. It remained quiet in the room for moments. The two children were both thinking. Ashlynn was the first to break the silence. "William... are you leaving me?" William had told Ashlynn about the court issue, but never went into depth, because in truth he didn't know everything. He did say however, that his old parents were trying to take him back.
"No." He said, understanding. "My mommy and daddy aren't gonna lose. I'm not leaving you."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. You're my best friend. I wouldn't lie."
"Promise?"
"Yes."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" They were both sitting cross-legged in front of each other now. "If you're really telling the truth you'll... kiss the wall." William shrugged and walked over to the wall. When he kissed it she scrunched her nose up like she smelt something putrid. "You'll kiss the floor." William got down in front of her, and bent to the floor to kiss it. This time, Ashlynn giggled. He retook his cross-legged position in front of her again and looked her in the eyes. She was still smiling. "Kiss me."
"What?! Why? Nooooo."
"Then you're not telling the truth. You are leaving me." She crossed her arms and pouted, sticking out her lower lip.
"No I'm not. I'm here to stay."
"Then prove it." Without saying another word William just quickly leaned in closer, not repositioning his legs at all, just now placing a hand on either side of her. His lips pressed against hers for about a second, then pulled away. They opened their eyes at the exact same moment and they both smiled.
William scrunched up his nose like he was appalled with himself, "That wasn't that bad."
"Of course it wasn't. Now you really can't leave. My mommy says a boy doesn't just kiss a girl and then leave. You can't leave!!!"
"I told you I'm not leaving."
"William, you're my bestest friend ever!" She flung her little arms around him in a hug.
"William! –Time for dinner!" Mulder yelled up the steps for his son.
Ashlynn quickly pulled herself away from William and was first to get downstairs. William followed right behind her. Mulder and Scully were both waiting by the door. Mulder had Ashlynn's coat and was holding it out for her, so she could put her arms in.
"You're really smiley, Ashlynn. You too Will." Scully commented as Ashlynn slipped her arms through the coat. "Ashlynn, tell your mother and father that Mr. Mulder and I say hello, okay?"
"Okay, Mrs. Mulder." Ashlynn hugged both Mulder and Scully and walked out the door, first turning around and saying, "Thank you for having me over. Bye Will!"
"You're Welcome," Mulder and Scully both said at once.
"Come on, William. It's time for dinner." Scully said.
"Mommy, you go ahead. I have to talk to Daddy, real fast."
"I can't hear?"
"It's boy stuff, Mommy." In an instant, Scully knew what her son wanted to talk about. She nodded and walked off to the kitchen.
"What's up, Will?"
"Daddy... I sort of kind of kissed Ashlynn." William thought he would have a hard time admitting it but it sort of just slid off his tongue. "I don't know why. She has cooties. But now Ashlynn said I definitely can't leave her because her mommy said that boys don't kiss girls and leave." Mulder's eyes were wide. He was stunned, but definitely proud for his little man, even if William wouldn't admit his sense of pride he most definitely was feeling.
"Do you like her?"
"She's my friend. She's an icky girl too!"
"Bud, I kiss your mommy all the time."
"That's different Daddy!"
"Aw, my little man's first kiss!" Mulder lifted William onto his hip and carried him into the kitchen. Scully already had his dinner at the table.
William sat at the table and started in on his chicken breast. Mulder walked over to where Scully was washing her hands at the sink. He came up close behind her, pressing his body against hers, but still keeping everything appropriate for their six year old. He leaned his head to her ear.
"Will just had his first kiss. Do you think it's time I teach about the birds and the bees yet?" Scully's eyes were wide, just like Mulder had been. Her shocked expression soon faded into an amused one and a small giggle escaped her lips. She spun around and hit Mulder with the dish towel in her hands.
----
The car was silent as the small family parked the car in front of the white courthouse building. William, who was growing increasingly upset, refused to unbuckle himself. Instead, Scully went around to his door, unbuckled him, and pulled him out of the car. William, in his big winter jacket and ear flap hat, clung to his mother's side, burying his face in her black wool pea coat.
Mulder wrapped his arm tightly around Scully's waist as they started up the steps to the building. When they got inside, along with the heater blowing warm air at them, they were greeted by both Skinner and Maggie Scully.
Mulder peeled off William's jacket and hat and took him away from his mother. Scully walked in with her mother close to her side. Mulder followed her into the courtroom, keeping his eyes on her. From anyone in the room, they could see the longing in his eyes, how he longed to hold her, reassure her everything was going to be fine.
"Daddy," William whispered as Mulder set his son down on wooden floor of the courtroom.
"Yes, Will?" Mulder replied, looking down at his small son. Scully's blue eyes were staring up at him within his eye sockets.
"Today's really the last day, Daddy?" Mulder nodded. "I'm staying with you and Mommy." William then latched himself onto Mulder's waist, throwing his arms around him. Mulder got on his knee and hugged his son close. He could feel the stares from Anna and Tom on his back. They were the only ones watching, while everyone else gave him and his son some privacy. Mulder thought nothing of it though.
"Will, go give your mother a hug, okay?" Mulder said to William, now eye level with him. William nodded. "Tell her you love her." William spun around and took off to his mother where he wrapped his arms around her waist, surprising her. Mulder witnessed the wide grin spread onto Scully's lips. He grinned as she lifted him up onto her hip.
Soon enough, court was called to order. William was excused from the courtroom. The judge knew that he didn't have to hear any of it. Scully had her hand protectively in Mulder's the whole time up until she was called up to the stand.
"Counsel woman, Modell, you may call you first witness up to the stand."
"Dana Mulder." In that moment, Scully turned to Mulder, who gave her hand a tight squeeze of reassurance. Then she got up and proceeded to the bench. She swore in and then sat down. She kept her gaze on Mulder until Olivia began speaking. "Mrs. Mulder, you gave your son, William, up on November 26th, 2001 –is that correct?"
"Yes."
"Why is it exactly that you gave him up?"
"Well, when I had William, I had an established career at the FBI. As you can imagine, the nature of my work was very risky. It actually put his life endanger. He didn't have a choice being born into this life, but I did have the choice of the life my son would have." Scully was recalling the words she said to Monica the day she had made her decision to give him up. It was a day and a memory that she seldom went back to visit, and she had made the decision never to visit it again. The tears that were sure to come were held up behind gates, and by recalling the memory, the gates were ready to burst. Her throat tightened, and it was evident in her voice when she continued to speak. "And I was going to choose that he would never have to be afraid of anyone or anything." The tears began streaming down her cheek. Mulder watched her with sad eyes, but still wished he in some way could reassure her, even though her heart was breaking and there was nothing he could do. At the site of her, his heart broke as well.
"Did you think you made the right decision?"
"At the time, yes; I thought I did. I was protecting my son from all the dangers of my job. Now, after seeing my son again –I wish I hadn't."
"Why?"
"They hurt him." Her voice was cracking. The judge so kindly handed her a box of tissues, which Scully took with a thank you. "They scared him. William had gotten a shower before his first day at his new school. It was cold out that morning, so I took him upstairs to blow dry his hair with the hair dryer. As soon as I pulled it out he shrieked, shielded his face, and began crying. One day, he forgot to clean up his mess at the table and he immediately began crying. Another day he spilt his glass of milk and he looked at both his father and I with such fear.... and then he began to cry some more."
"Your honor, I have no further questions."
"Mr. Harlequin," The judge said Anna and Tom's attorney and he rose, coming towards Scully at the bench.
"Mrs. Mulder, you seem like a very nice mother." He said, starting it sugarcoated. "But the question remains, did you see your job to be more important than your son?"
"Of course not. I would've died for my baby. I still would. I risked my life for him countless of times."
"Then why let him go? Why not just.... just quit your job and work as something else?"
"It wasn't that easy."
"Explain it for us then."
"It wouldn't matter if I had quit or not. There were certain people whom my husband and I ran into during the FBI. They would try to get back at us no matter what." That was the best way she could phrase it without exposing anything that wouldn't need to be exposed in that particular court hearing.
"It is my belief that you had put your job first. Admit it. That's what you were thinking!"
"Objection! Your honor, Mr. Harlequin is putting words into my clients mouth!"
"Mr. Harlequin, make your point."
"Dana Mulder, gave her son up because her job was more important to her. I rest my case." And he sat down.
"Mrs. Mulder, you may take your seat." When she had stepped out of the stand, Mulder was already waiting for her, holding his arms out, which he took her in for a brief moment before they had to sit again.
"Ms. Modell, do you have any other witnesses?"
"I'd like to call on, Fox Mulder, William's biological father." Mulder swore in and took the stand. Scully's reddened eyes were unmoving, staying on him. Olivia crossed to the stand, her files in her hand.
"Mr. Mulder, why don't you tell us all why you left your wife and son after your son's birth."
"It was to protect them."
"To protect them from whom?"
"The same people who would harm our son if he wasn't given up."
"The people your wife had stated that you had encounters with while with the FBI?"
"Exactly."
"Mr. Mulder, I have right here the adoption papers." She passed a copy of them to the judge. "Can you tell me where on any of these forms your name is signed?" Mulder flipped through the forms.
"It's not on there anywhere."
"Then, by law... William is still yours. You didn't sign the papers."
"By law, William still is mine." Olivia smiled a smug wide smile.
"I have no further questions."
"Mr. Harlequin-" He rose, advancing towards the stand.
"Mr. Mulder, did you and your wife have a sexual relationship while you two were at the FBI?"
"Some of the last year we were together, yes."
"And it is against FBI policy to have two agents partnered together to be involved, correct?"
"Yes."
"So you two weren't married?"
"No. We got married last year."
"So, did you have any claim to William?"
"Yes, my name was on his birth certificate as his father."
"Your honor," Olivia interrupted. "I have William's birth certificate right here." She handed it to the bailiff
"You honor, I have no further questions."
Mulder returned to Scully's side, where they linked fingers underneath the desk. They patiently waited out the rest of the court hearing together, through Anna and Tom's accounts, that were mostly lies, and then through the social worker herself, who seemed to favor William staying with Mulder and Scully. Things were looking out; there was a light at the end of this dark tunnel they had to pass through before the holidays.
"Both counsels may make their final statements." Olivia was first she raised.
"You honor, I hope that when you make your decision on the behalf of William you will see the truth in both cases. The truth being that William belongs with the two people who had him first, who lost him, and now have begun to care for him once again. By the accounts of our witnesses, you should see that Anna and Tom were not loving and caring parents to William. Dana and Fox are the ones he belongs with."
"Your honor," Mr. Harlequin started. "The adoption papers were signed. My clients deserve their son back. William is their son. They are willing to seek help for any substance abuse they have done. Also, after the case regarding the evidence of abuse on William has come to a close, they are both willing to seek help and accept a punishment if one has been bestowed upon them. These are good people. They just want their son back."
"I have heard both sides. Now, I shall hear William's. Court is adjourned for two hours. During which I shall make my decision." She hit her gavel, rose, and went to her backroom.
William was escorted into the courtroom by another bailiff, but instead of walking with him, he ran to his parents. Scully and Mulder both smiled at the site of him running at full speed. Scully got down on her one knee and held out her arms, which he then jumped into. She hugged him tight, and picked him up and hoisted him up on her hip. Mulder hugged them both and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Mommy, you've been crying." William said, stroking his mother's cheek. Even though she was caught, she smiled through it all. She was sure they were going to get William back. She knew it.
"I have Will, but that's okay. I just got a little emotional."
"What's that mean?"
"It means Mommy got sad," Mulder said, taking William into his arms and then setting him on the ground. "William, you have to go talk to the judge." William frowned and all of a sudden mirrored Mulder's panic face.
"It'll be fine sweet heart." Scully said, squeezing her son's shoulder.
"I'm scared."
"You don't have to be, buddy." Mulder said, taking his hand and leading him to where the bailiff stood in front of the door.
"I don't want to, Daddy!"
"Willie, baby, you want this to all be over, right?" Scully asked; now back down on her son's level. He sniffed and nodded. "Then you have to go talk to the judge. I promise you she'll be nice." Scully said, knowing well that she had no reason not to be nice to an adorable little boy.
"Okay..." William said, walking towards the door.
"Have a seat, William." The judge, whose name plate read Hannah Thompson, said, gesturing to one of the leather upholstered seats in front of her. She sensed the fear in his eyes, and smiled kindly. "Would you like some candy, William?" She pointed to the candy dish in front of her.
"Okay...Thank you." He said, taking a red foil wrapped Hershey kiss. He was loosening up.
"William, I'm just going to get right down to business. I'm going to need you to tell me who you would like to stay with and why. I need to hear what you want. You're the most important." He smiled. This was going to be easy for him.
"I want to be with Mommy and Daddy."
"Which ones?"
"My real ones."
"Mr. and Mrs. Mulder?" He shook his head rapidly. To which Hannah smiled. "Okay, why is that."
"Anna and Tom... hurt me.... they're scary. I don't like them. I want to be with Mommy and Daddy because they love me, and they love each other. They would never scare or hurt me."
"Well, that's all I needed to know, William. You're free to go now. Do you have any questions?"
"Can I please stay with Mommy and Daddy?" William, said, bouncing out of his chair and onto his feet.
"I'll see what I can do, William."
"Thank you."
----
Everyone who was in court, spent the next two hours sitting out in the hallway. Scully was tucked underneath Mulder's arm. Her eyes were shut, but she wasn't asleep just yet. She was praying. Mulder knew that. He didn't dare speak a word to her. Besides, he was praying as well. William was sitting on both of their laps. His cheek was against of Mulder's collarbone, and he, unlike his mother had drifted into sleep. Maggie was off with Skinner and Olivia getting a cup of coffee. Just as they returned, the bailiff had called them into the courtroom.
Both sides had walked in. Mulder, Scully, William, and Olivia all stood behind their table, while Anna, Tom, and Mr. Harlequin did the same on the other side.
"I have reviewed both sides of the story, and have come to my decision. Based on all accounts and certain documents, I have come to one definite answer. William will go into the care of his biological parents," Scully, Mulder, William, Olivia, Skinner, and Maggie all beamed at the sound. "Fox Mulder and Dana Mulder. However, Mrs. Mulder since your signature was on the adoption papers, you'll have to sign a few papers after we're through here. Congratulations," She said with a smile and rose up, going back into her back room.
"Oh my gosh," Scully sighed as she turned into Mulder's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks. They kissed sweetly, quickly, but passionately, before taking their son into their embrace as well.
"I told you! I told you I would stay with you guys!" William half cheered. The small family laughed and both parents kissed their son at the same time. "Now, I don't have to break my promise to Ashlynn."
"What was your promise, baby?" Scully inquired.
"I promised that I would never leave her."
A very upset Anna and Tom flew into the parking lot of the apartment complex they were currently renting at. Both slammed their doors, and Tom went to the bag seat to grab a six pack of Coor's Light, a can already in his hand. Anna chugged down a large gulp as she swayed into the apartment building. She was already on her third can.
"I'm so fucking pissed off!" She yelled once she unlocked her door and waltzed in. Tom slammed the door behind them, rattling the whole wall, and making a picture fly down and crash at the floor. He threw the beer into the kitchen, exploding a few cans, making the contents inside spray everywhere. He angrily flipped the coffee table and swore at the top of his lungs. Then, suddenly, the bedroom window shattered, and it got Tom's attention seconds later than when it should have. He heard Anna shriek, so he took off down the small hallway, and turned into the bedroom, seeing two large burly identical men standing over her bleeding dead body. By the time his eyes flashed up to their faces, it was too late. They were already claiming him as their next victim.
Dun Dun Dunnn. Some major drama is coming up. Everything is happening for a reason. (Keep that in mind) But uh, oh off-topic, but I landed to role as Peter Pan in Peter Pan at a local theatre group I'm involved in. Go me. (: Please, Review.
-A
