Hello Conan Fans!!
How are you all?! Thank you for reading this fic and big thank you to people who left some comments for my ficcie! =^0^=
(after reading The Lord Of The Rings 4 times, I have decided its time to write some more chapters)
(That is one amazing book! I just love LOTRs!!! You guys must read it too!!)
*cough* *cough*-----okay----enough off-topic stuff.
I have a little request ------I have been rewriting my first fic "Summer Camp", you know, adding bits and pieces. I was wondering if anyone is actually reading it? And would you be kind enough to leave some comments for that fic too? (If you have never read it, please give it a try----personally, I prefer that fic more than this one!)
As for people from the Yahoo Conan fan club, can you please leave some comments to let me know you guys are from the club? So I will know whether people from that club are still interested in my fic.
Well---I am going to try me best to speed through this fic---- thank you for reading it (again), and I hope you will enjoy this chapter!
Luv
Catz
p.s. I got a feeling the title of this chapter represents what people really wants to say to me-----lllb
Chapter 14
"Get on with it!!"
"Why---why Alice? She is part of the family!" asked Tracey with a shaking voice. "Whats going on? I cant take any of this anymore----", she burst into tears. "Its all a curse!"
"It have nothing to do with curses." Said Hakuba. "Its a long story------" He turned around to find Richard staring at the floor, like all the energy has been drained out of his body.
Hakuba too a deep breath and said "Richard, there is something I must tell you about your mother."
Richard looked up at Hakuba, face blank. "Eh? What?" he blinked slowly, "---Too much killing-----too much" he was talking to no-one particularly. "We are all going to die----- arent we?"
Everyone looked at him, Shiho made a pretty frown. Aoko swallowed hard.
Richard turned his face towards the dark, empty corridor, a horror filled his eyes.
"---but------who is next?" he said in afraid tone. Almost whispering. "Who is the next to die?"
Everyone stopped. Looking at one another, nervous for the answer to that question.
Aoko shivered.
"NO-ONE!" growled Heiji.
"We wont let it happen. Get it through your thick skull will ya?! It is not a curse! All of you are a bunch of-"
Aoko walked up to Heiji and puts her hand oh his shoulder. She didnt know what to say, but she knows how Heiji must feel right now. "She will be fine, I promise, Hattori----I -I know she will be fine."
Aoko said quietly, unsure whether this will get through to Heiji or not.
Heiji quiet down, he looked at Aoko. The anger and frustration slowly vanished from the corner of his mouth when he saw the look on Aoko`s face. Worried, afraid, sad. And he was just making the matter worse.
"Aoko----thanks." He smiled wearily to Aoko, and walked forwards. "Lets find that damn diamond and save the girls." He walk passed Shinichi, who was staring at him.
"Get out of my way." Heiji muttered.
Shinichi held his fists, but he contained his anger and walked silently behind Heiji.
The group finally starting to move up the third floor. While everyone was walking upstairs following, Hakuba caught up with Richard.
"Richard." Continued Hakuba, finally. "We found out how your mother died."
"--?" Richard looked surprise. "What?!---how?"
"She died of miscarriage."
Tracey looked up at Hakuba with shock. Richard almost tripped over the stairs.
"What?! But that is impossible---Richard is the youngest ----what is going ON!" Tracey practically screamed out the last word.
Hakuba looked at everyone. "I think we better sit down for this."
"Sit down? Ran and Kazuha are in danger, and you want us to sit down?!!" protest Shinichi and Heiji.
"Well---it wont take too long, plus, Alice and John still needs them to force us to find the diamond.
They wont hurt them." Explained Kaito.
"Come on, we can get into the guests lounge and sit on the sofa for a bit. I am tired of all these walking." Said Aoko, half begging.
"And its REALLY dark, I hate walking in the dark."
"Really?" Kaito grinned "I kinda like it."
"You are a freak." Replied Aoko.
5 minutes later, they all placed the candles on the table in the guests lounge. Everyone sat down on the sofas and watched as the fire flickered in the dark.
It created long, waving shadows. Like strange, weird demons dancing silently on the wall.
The occasional thunder and lightening would break those errie shadows with its sharp lights, but it only deepen the horror that was inside everyone.
Without realizing, Aoko and Shiho sat closer to Kaito and Hakuba. Aoko practically cuddle up with Kaito.
Kaito smiled and did not say anything.
Heiji and Kudou were sitting miles apart, both folded their arms, mouth formed a tight line and frowning. Shinichi stared at the candle light, deep in his thought. Heiji were staring at the floor with his crystal blue eyes. Everyone could see the frustration on their faces.
"Lady Norferk was pregnant 7 years ago. It is still uncertain, but I think, she was pregnant with someone else's child." Began Hakuba in a deep voice. His very eyes were fixed on Richard. His face pale and grave. He turned his eyes towards the candle lights as one of them went out.
"You mean----" asked Shiho, raising an eyebrow.
"She had an affair." Replied Hakuba, re-lighting the candle and looked at Richard.
"NO!" shouted Richard, jumped up to his feet. "This-this is impossible! Why---my father didnt say anything!"
"He couldnt. It breaks his heart." Said Hakuba quietly. "He loved Lasy Norferk too much. He will not break up the marriage. Lady Norferk was full of regret. She begged for his forgiveness and to keep the child."
"And?" asked Kaito, finding the story interesting and tragic. (trying to put his arm around Aoko`s shoulder at the same time.)
"Well, lady Norferk died due to the miscarriage, but the child survived." Said Hakuba.
"Mother---how could she--?" cried Tracey. Aoko offered a comforting arm and puts it around Traceys shoulder. (she moved away from Kaito, and didnt noticed the disappointed look on his face)
"Well----who did my mother had an-an affair with?! Where is the child?" asked Tracey wearily. Wiping the tears.
Hakuba sighed. "I really didnt want to say this, but it looks like I have no choice."
"It was John." Said Heiji, moved his eyes away from the floor and looked up at Hakuba. "They had an affair."
There was an utter silence. Everyone seems to be stunned by this.
Finally, Richard fell back into the sofa. "What---it couldnt---it cant---"
"Whoa----" said Aoko, speechless. "---whao"
"Alice found out only a few months ago, or even less, I believe." Said Hakuba. "She was mad with jealousy and she hated John and Sir Norferk for keeping it a secret."
"I think she had a confrontation with Sir Norferk, the day he died. As soon as I arrived and found out Sir Norferk had died, I asked one of the maid where everyone was that night. Alice, John, Henry and Anne were not at home. So I put my attention to them. It is only later I was sure that Alice killed Sir Norferk. She pushed him down the cliff."
"Sir Norferk was old and full of sorrow, he didnt have a chance to defend himself." Said Shinichi. Join the conversation.
"Alice dragged his body into the sea, hoping it will confuse the police for the exact time of death if they discover the body. She knows the longer the body stayed in the sea, the harder it will be to tell the time of death. So she might be able to make an alibi for herself."
Heiji continued for Shinichi. "There was a high tide that night, so it washed away the blood on the beach. Also bring the body closer to shore." He shrugged. "Not a perfect murder, but close enough."
"Well---just because my father hide the secret about John and my mother, Alice killed him?!" asked Tracey.
"No, thats not it." Replied Hakuba. "Sir Norferk kept the child. Lady Norferk and Johns child. He treated the child just like his own, but he wasnt sure how to bring this child into the family. But Alice hated the child. She hate it so much that she---wanted it killed."
"She is one twisted, sick, bi -I mean, witch!" said Kaito , stopping in the middle when Aoko was giving him the warning look which stands for :watch the words you are using!
"Yeah, she is a witch all right." Confirmed Kaito.
Richard buried his face between his hand. He moaned. "What---what happen? Whats next?"
"Did---did she tried to kill Williams too?" asked Tracey.
"Yes, because William found out about the child." Replied Hakuba. "Alice had an argument with William. Shiho and the rest of the girls saw it." Hakuba turned towards Shiho.
"Can you explain what happened, again?"
So Shiho went over what they saw on that afternoon when Alice had a row with William.
"So," said Hakuba, when Shiho has finished. "I was thinking, why William? Why was he stabbed? The obvious reason would be because he knew something that will expose or threaten the murderer of Sir Norferk."
"The same day he had an argument with Alice, he was stabbed. BUT, that was not the only clue. Remember when we were looking at that piece of paper from Sir Norferk? William wanted to tell us something important. But as soon as Alice walks in, he shuts up and wouldn't say anymore."
"Thats why! William knew something!" cried Tracey. "What was it? What did he found out?"
"Well----" Hakuba looked at Tracey, after a few seconds of silence, Kaito finally lost his patient.
"Well? What is it? Get on with it will ya?"
"HAKUBA!" shouted Shinichi and Heiji practically at the same time. "GET ON WITH IT!!"
"Okay okay!" muttered Hakuba.
"William knew where the child is. He found out about Lady Norferk and John" Said Hakuba. His blue eyes glitter in the dark.
"He was trying to protect the little girl which we saw on our very first day when we arrived"
