Chapter 8
I looked at him and nodded. I thought how could this masked man who befriends me be dangerous? Then I looked harder at him, and it all came together. He was the murderer of my parents!
"You're… you're the murderer who left me an orphan." I said angrily and silently. He looked shocked at me and then looked as if he had been reminded of something.
"I had to kill… your parents." he looked down sadly speaking.
"Why?" I asked glaring at him.
"I saw Mark when Christine had him and I vowed revenge on her, so I killed him and his wife, but I spared you because you were young and beautiful I couldn't kill you." he explained gazing at me. I started to cry and turned from his look.
"I am sorry Stephie I had to keep my vow with God. Stephie really it had to be done. Please understand." he lowered his head.
"I understand I think, and I will meet them in Heaven, but that is cruel what you did. I'm not sure I want to play for you on the piano for the audition." she said between tears.
"Stephanie, my dear, I will be your Angel of Music I want you to succeed and to be happy, I hate seeing you this way. I cant bring them back but you can make them proud in Heaven by succeeding through music." he held my hand kissing it. I nodded half smiling and followed him to his lair to practice.
Weeks later Jessica came to me threatening me to quit and telling me it was useless because she was the better pianist. I had ignored her and hadn't told anyone about my secret Angel of Music.
