Chapter Twenty: Answers
Millie heard footsteps and curled into a ball. She didn't want anyone to come back. Last time someone had been in this room with her, they had beaten her for what felt like hours. It wasn't as bad as she had thought, but it was by no means pleasant.
The door opened and Millie uttered a whimper. But no one touched her. She let out her breath and looked up. Standing in front of her was not the gunman and his gang, but a woman who looked vaguely familiar.
"Stand up. No one is going to harm you. At least not now. Those men have been…disposed of…because of what they did." She said, her voice void of emotion.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Millie asked as she shakily got to her feet. She did not intend for her questions to be answered and was surprised when the woman opened her mouth to answer.
"My name is Diamond. I should look fairly familiar to you. Do I?" At Millie's nod, she continued.
"Good. I am Dominique's twin sister. My sister worked under Knives. Then she died. She died because of Knives. It's that bastard's fault!" Diamond cried.
"What does that have to do with me, Diamond ~san?" Millie asked. The woman glared at her and the pregnant girl looked away. Diamond approached her and, putting her index finger under Millie's chin, turned the girl's face to hers.
"I have many spies. Each and every one of them has told me that you are on quite friendly terms with Knives. Heh. Don't you know that's dangerous? Especially since you're with Wolfwood's child." Millie's eyes went wide and Diamond allowed herself a moment of triumph. Oh yes, she'd hit a nerve.
"Yes, I know about the priest. About how you two felt about each other, about your baby together, and," Diamond raised a finely manicured eyebrow, "about how Knives was responsible for the death of your love."
A solitary tear slid down Millie's cheek.
"I am over that. Knives~san has changed. He is a different person and wouldn't hurt anyone now," she explained. Diamond's eyebrow twitched and she slapped Millie.
"You are a damn fool," she hissed. She turned away and slammed the door.
Damn woman. She could've joined her and ridded the world of that man, that threat. No matter, she would just have to continue using the girl as bait.
A torturous cry through the door caught Diamond's attention.
Yes, suffer. Go through what I had to. Feel my pain. Feel the pain of the loss of a loved one.
A tear dropped from Diamond's eye to the floor as she walked away from the door.
~Wow. Another chapter for you guys. I got rid of one of my characters and introduced you to another one. ^_^. Actually, I liked Dominique. Hence Diamond's appearance. Just a caring sister who wants to get revenge for her sister's death…
