Chapter 14: From her Baby Blue Eyes
The Latina continued to walk until she reached her home, chasing her breathing. Anger and pain were mixed inside her heart as she sat on one of their house's pavements. Her tears began to stop on falling as she remembered what Quinn told her in her previous dream.
"Santana." Her mom walks closer and sat beside her.
"Mom, do you believe them? Do you believe that Dad really killed Brittany's mom?" Santana looks at her with empty eyes, screaming for an answer.
Her mom breathes deeply out of her nose, she felt blue that time and then sits beside her grieving daughter. "Of course I didn't believe that. Your dad can't do such thing ."
"If Dad didn't kill Brittany's mom, why was he in jail? Did they have to do that on innocent people?"
Santana's question made her mother's mind hang up in another dimension, " Because the Pierce family have more money than we do, Santana. They can pay for thousands of best lawyers and for random people who can stand against us. But us, we can't."
Santana breathed all the bad vibes out of her hot mouth, "If only I can do something so we can get richer..." Disappointment rose up her heavy head. But then she remembered Brody's offer, she clenched her fist as she holds the card her gave her.
"San, do you miss your Dad?"
Santana's memories of her dad playing with her with a water gun flashed through her mind, sounds of them happily laughing, leaving her grains of tears... Pinching her sore heart. And then she stood up,"Can we visit him? I need to make sure that he's telling the truth. That he didn't really killed Britt's Mom."
Her mom stood up, too, "Santana, even though you have found out that your dad wasn't the real killer, you couldn't set him free, yet. We don't have money for anything. Our lives can get worse and they can asassinate us no matter when. The Pierce family was the most powerful in the entire Allen County. We can't win against them." She got worried.
"And you're just going to let him die there? You're not going to do anything with it? Mom, we have a right to fight for what is right!" Santana burst her heart out.
"We have right, yes! But we don't have anything against them." Her mother's voice volumed up.
But Santana was tough enough, "I'll find a way to dig up at the deepest part of this mistake. I'll dip my hands on their blood and laugh at it."
"Santana, I don't want you to get into this trouble." Her mom held her hands, a sign of worry.
Santana sincerely looks into her eyes, "Mom I promise you, I won't get hurt. Not a single end of my hair. I'll make them believe that he's innocent. I'll do anything for him." She let a sweet smile to assure her safety.

"Mr. Lopez, your daughter was here to visit you. I'll give you 5 minutes." The jail guard unlocks the padlock and opens it.
Mr. Lopez was expecting that it was Maria. He walks closer to the visitor's mom and was surprised to see her elder daughter, Santana. She's sitting in front of him with a blank reaction while his father was filled with happiness and joy seeing his lovely daughter. "Santana." He smiled from one ear to another. "Good thing you visit me."
Santana still had that empty face, unable to move a nerve, "I'm here to know the truth behind your case. Tell me what really happened."
Her dad's smile went neutral and then sits dwon and sighs, "Ok. I'll tell you what I know. But I know it's hard to believe."
"Just tell me."
Her dad vowed and started, "2 years ago, one night when I finished in the hospital, I saw Susan walking alone the dark road. I picked her up because I'm worried, being her friend. But everything seemed misunderstood when I bring her home.-"
*Flashback*
"Thank you Antonio ( Santana's dad ), You don't really need to pick me up." Susan said, smiling back at him.
"Susan, I'm your friend. It's natural. What do you think will happen if I don't picked you up?" Antonio laughs.
Susan giggled, rings the doorbell two times and then her husband, Stephen, opens the door. She smiled and tried to kiss him but he got a blank face, meaning, he's not in the mood. "Ugh- Honey, good thing Antonio picked me up. It's been really dark on the road."
Stephen didn't gave a damn on Antonio's warm smile, face blanked, blood of rage rushing through his veins. "So I'm right. You two have an affair."
Susan's eyebrows met, opens her mouth, "Affair? We're just friends!" She tried to ease the tension with smiling warml.
"Come inside," Stephen pulls her wrist, " Antonio go out!" Stephen grabs her wrist harder, stopping the flow of her blood.
"Wait, Stiph, I'm hurt! Let go!" She wants to flee.
"Hey Stephen, let her go." Antonio tried to help her.
"Get out of this!" Stephen continued to pull her, but Susan tries to set her wrist free so he had no choice but to pull his knife out, "Now! You're going out of my house or I'll kill this woman!" His voice tear the chills through their veins as his eyes grew bigger and reddish.
Brittany got awoken from Susan's cries and screams grew louder. With a cloudy eyes, she immediately ran towards the scene. Horror came to her sight when her father stabbed the knife directly to her mother's throat. Her eyes grew bigger nad so as her mouth.
Susan's gargling with her own blood, rushing down from the hole of her neck, choking to her death. She fell to the ground as her knees and feet lost its strength. To escape Stephen, she crawls her way to Brittany, reaching out her hand, trying to say "I love you". Her breath hitched, unable to intake any molecules of air anymore, until she breathed her last.
"Brittany, grab your Mom and call 911 immediately!" Antonio tries to grab Susan but Stephen stopped him.
Stephen blocks Susan away from him. "Hold it there, f*cker!"
Brittany grabs a telephone and dialed 911, after several beeps the operator answers,"This is 911, what do you need? A police or ambulance?"
Brittany freaks out, jaw being electrilized, "I need police. My mom was killed by-"
Brittany had her mouth covered by his insane father and then he whispered in an intense tune, "Brittany, I want you to say that Mr. Lopez was the one who killed your mother, was that clear? Or you'll just die, too, like her" She looks at her lifeless mother.
Brittany's body shook, she nods as she felt the sharp end of the knife getting burried on her left waist, pain enters her body but she resisted, without a choice she said, "hello 911, I-I need police. My mom was killed by a man namely, Antonio Lopez. M-Me and my father was still in our house and he might kill us, too. Please, hurry up."
"Calm down. Hide on wherever possible or runaway if you can. We'll be there. Address?"
"Ugh, Lima heights-" But before Brittany can tell the address, her maniac father threw the phone away. His smile runs through Brittany's veins and it gave her nightmare that'll haunt her forever. To calm herself, she walks closer to her mother's corpse, bathing in her own pool of blood. Her mom's eyes are still open and big and so as her mouth.
"Mom, wake up!" Brittany touches her mom's hair, as blonde and silky as hers, "Mom-" Tears of pain left her blue eyes, passing through her preckled cheeks. She lifted her hands up, with her shock, her mom's blood covered it, it was dark and red, a sign of life less woman, lying down in front of her. The woman was her mother, the one who loved her for a lifetime. Her chest tightened, her brain felt murdered, she's losing her control, "Dad why?" a slashed scream.
"Why did you kill her?" Antonio went beside Brittany to comfort her.
Stephen stood up, crazed and screwed down, "Why? It's because I know that you and Susan had a relationship and you're fooling me!"
"What the hell?" Antonio stood up, too, defending his self, "We don't have anything. We're just friend!"
"Oh really?!" Stephen took the blood covered knife and aimed it at him. "What did you do, arriving together in the middle of the night?"
"Dad, stop!" Brittany screamed her heart out, giving the last of her energy.
Stephen gave the knife to Antonio and smiled, "Now Antonio, I'm giving you this knife as a remembrance and I want you to do whatever it is that you like. Kill me if you want to. Come on I'm giving you a chance!" He laughs maniacly.
Antonio went angry, "F*ck you! You're a demon!"
"Kill the demon, f*cker!"
With Antonio's rage climbing up his arms, he held the knife tighter. His veins ordered him to lift it up and stab this demon. "Eeeerrr..." He grined his teeth as his hands shake.
Until...
Headlights from the police vehicles lit up the place, breaking through the darkness and caught up Antonio's act. "FREEZE! Drop you knife down! You have a right to remain silent." The policeman aim their guns at him.
He froze for that moment, shaking his whole body. He doesn't know how to react, with his arms held high and a knife in his hand aiming at Stephen, the police can tell that he's trying to kill him.
"Mr. Policeman! He's trying to kill us!" Stephen grabs Brittany away from Antonio.
"What the hell?! He's the one who killed her wife. This scene was unreal. He gave me the knife!" Antonio's sweating cold.
"I can't kill my own wife and hey, you're caught in the act!"
Antonio didn't know what to do, he looks at Brittany with teary eyes and trembled , "Brittany, tell them the truth. H-He's the killer and I'm innocent! Right Brittany?!" His voice plead her heart.
Brittany stared at him for seconds, bugging her mind, and then broke into tears. She looks away, holding the truth inside her throbbing heart,
.
. "Mr. Lopez, stop lying!" .
.
and then she vowed against his father's shoulder, cried out so loud, gulping her pain down.
*End of flashback*
"I don't know what happened to Brittany. She told them that I killed her mother. I-I couldn't do that." His voice trembled when his tears flowed from his eyes, wanted to take the anger out.
"Mr. Lopez, your time is up." The guard approached them and talked respectfully.
Santana's rage built up, clenching her fist. "Don't worry Dad. I'll make her reveal the truth and if she couldn't do that, I'll take everything away from her. I promise." Her fist getting tighter as her heat of anger rushed up her head.
