A.N. Sorry this took a little while to get out, but I had about 3 different
ideas for this part. But I finally choose this one. So I hope everyone
likes it.

Theresa doesn't notice the knife until it's embedded into her skin. Over and over again. So many times that she lost count. In her sides, in her back, turning her over and slashing her front and arms. He's cutting and stabbing her everywhere-except her stomach.
Where before her body was numb now she could feel every last hurt every stab, every punch, and every thrust. Feeling darkness creep up on her she allows it to take her, if only to relief some of the pain.
Part 4
~1 hour later~
Phyllis looks up at the front door as Nicholas Foxworth Crane comes whistling into the mansion with a huge smile on his face.
"Hello Mr. Crane." Phyllis greets the handsome Crane heir.
"Hi Phyllis, how are you on this lovely afternoon?" Fox has always made small talk with the help, since when he was there at the mansion and not at boarding school they would take care of him.
"I'm fine Mr. Crane." Phyllis picks up Little Ethan and sits him down on the couch so he can drink his milk.
"Where's Theresa?" Fox glances around not spotting her anywhere.
"She's upstairs resting. I was just about to go upstairs and check on her."
"I'll go, I've missed her today." Fox smiles, he's never really missed anyone before. It's a nice feeling that warms his heart, he has someone that he cares enough about for him to miss. Little Ethan finished with his milk takes a flying leap at Fox and he easily catches him.
"Hey buddy." Fox ruffles his hair in affection. "Do you want to come with me and wake your mommy?" He knows that Theresa will love to have her son wake her up.
"Yea." Little Ethan smiles and glances up at the stairs. He had wanted to go see his mother for almost 2 hours, but Phyllis had told him to wait since his mother needed her rest.
"Ok let's go." Fox ascends the stairs and glances toward Theresa's door. He didn't notice the small drops of blood that are scattered sparingly on the off white carpet, but Little Ethan does.
"What's dat?" He points to the floor innocently not understanding that it's blood and seeing it splattered on the carpet was not a good thing.
At Little E's question Fox takes in the blood. Fear slams against his heart, Fox runs down the stairs to find Phyllis cleaning up Little Ethan's mess. Fox gently puts Theresa's son on the couch and tells Phyllis to call the police. Of course she asked why, and he said that he thinks Theresa is hurt.
Not needing anymore information Phyllis runs to the phone and calls the police. Meanwhile Little Ethan is being told by Fox to stay down here until he comes to get him. He nods his eyes scared. Kneeling down he says that everything will be all right. Although with that much blood on the floor he wasn't so sure that much blood wasn't caused by a small injury but by a large one.
Racing back upstairs he doesn't even think about the possibility that someone is in there with Theresa, if anyone were they would be dead by his hand. Bursting through the door the smell of the blood hits his nostrils. Theresa is lying on the bed covered in blood, her clothes are ripped off, her legs spread wide, and a knife is lying on the floor next to her body.
"THERESA!!!!" He rushes over to her and is afraid to touch her. He doesn't know if touching her will make it worse. Tears well up in his eyes and cascade down his handsome face. Softly and tenderly he strokes her hair her blood coats his hand but he doesn't care. He can tell that she's breathing but just barely.
"I'm not going to leave you, I promise I won't leave you." He whispers to her and presses his lips to her bloody scalp.
"I never should have left you today, I should have stayed with you, this wouldn't have happened if I stayed with you." He moans out in agony. "Please, please forgive me."
Footsteps sound as the person climbing them gets closer to the upstairs hallway. "Oh my God." Gwen's voice is heard from the hall.
"What the hell happened here?" Ethan's voice follows his wife's. Within moments Gwen and Ethan run into the room and find Fox crying over Theresa.
"Holy shit." Gwen exclaims.
Fox sneers at both of them. "Get out of here." He forces the words out of his closed throat.
"Fox what happened?" Ethan strides over to Theresa reaching his hand out to touch her.
Fox growls at him, "Don't you touch her."
"Fox you're not being reasonable, what happened. Let me look at her." Ethan begs but Fox is having none of it. Gwen is too shocked to say anything, the smell of the blood is making her stomach revolt and she's working on keeping her lunch down.
"Stay away from her." Fox speaks through clenched teeth, the blood on his face and body making him seem all the more fierce.
Moment's later Phyllis comes into the room with the police and ambulance workers right behind her, Luis and Sam are also there.
Luis runs over to his sister and kneels on the other side of the bed. "How the hell did this happen?" Tears form in his eyes and are close to falling.
"I don't know." Fox struggles to get his voice to work and it's difficult. "Little Ethan saw the blood outside her room, I put him downstairs Phyllis called the police, and I came back up here. When I opened the door Theresa was just lying like this." More tears cascade down his scared and worried face.
This is the worst scene any of the police officers have seen. Being a small town they don't have too much crime, lucky for them, but to the police this looks like revenge or a punishment crime for something.
If someone were just trying to kill this young woman they wouldn't have stabbed her as many times as they had they would have done a slash to the throat, a gunshot wound to the head, something that would have killed. But it seemed to the police that the attacker missed all the major organs, the attacker just wanted to hurt this woman, not kill her.
The ambulance workers work quickly and in a matter of seconds Theresa is on the stretcher and being wheeled downstairs. Fox, Luis, Sam, Ethan, Gwen, and Rebecca, who had come in during all the commotion, were following the stretcher. Fox called Little Ethan to him, and he yelled at seeing his mother.
"MOMMY!!!!" Fox lifts him up and lets Little E cry on his shoulder.
"It's ok buddy, your mommy is going to be alright." Fox assures the boy.
"Only one person can come in the ambulance with her. Who's going to come?" The ambulance worker questions.
"I will." Fox simply states quickly. Turning to Luis he hands Little Ethan to him. "Can you take Little Ethan to the hospital. I don't want him to see what they're going to do to Theresa." Fox rubs his hands over his face smearing more blood around, Theresa's blood mixes with his blonde hair but he doesn't care.
One of the other police officers at the scene walks over to Fox. "We are going to have to question everyone that was here, would you like to do it here or at the hospital?"
"The hospital. I'm not going to leave Theresa."
The officer nods and moves over to the others that have congregated in the hall watching as Theresa was being wheeled to the ambulance with Fox following her. "I would like to question most of you now. Would you rather do it here or go into the living room?"
"The living room would be fine officer." Rebecca oozes charm and sways her hips to entice the police officer.
Gwen shakes her head at her mother's shameless flirting. While granted she doesn't like Theresa she would have never wished this on her, and here her mother was practically jumping the police officer's bones.
"Mother give it a rest." Gwen speaks low in her mother's ear.
"What? I'm just being hospitable." Rebecca grins wide at her daughter.
"Mother Theresa was just brutally beaten-show some compassion." Gwen stares at her mother.
"What-its not like that little tramp didn't deserve what she got. Coming after you husband like she did, almost causing you to lose you precious baby girl. I have to admit that I'm happy about it." Rebecca starts to walk away but Luis, who had been behind her the whole time, grabs a hold of Rebecca's arm.
"Listen here you gutter slut, if you say one more word about my baby sister your going to regret it for the rest of your life." Luis shakes Rebecca once and violently pushes her away from him letting her go.
Luis walks over, still carrying Little Ethan in his arms, to the other officer. "I'm going to go to the hospital, and meet everyone there. Call me if you have anything."
The officer nods and watches as Luis, Little Ethan, and Sam leave the mansion to go to the hospital. "Alright," Officer James says to everyone, "I'll do this one at time." He calls Ethan to Julian's study and begins the investigation.
