Chapter 2
Damn Claudia Vaughn to hell for this. Telling Laura what had happened this way. A passing comment probably implicating me as the bad person. So that she had no understanding behind why it had happened, that I had to do it to keep her mother and grandfather safe. Now because of her its time to try and explain it to a 5 year old, this whole crazy confusing story that even dumfounds an adult. Let alone a child. If only we could wait until she was a bit older. But now thanks to that woman's meddling it's time for it now.
Irina stood outside Sydney's front door just staring at it. Trying to garner up the courage to knock on the door. To pass this story onto the next generation. The door was suddenly pulled open and Sydney poked her head around.
"Are you ever going to knock on the door? You pulled up 10 minutes ago."
"Sorry sweetheart. I was just trying to work out what to say"
"I know it's kinda of a weird thing to try an explain to a little kid."
Irina stepped into the house and wait straight towards to the lounge.
"So where is she?"
"In her room playing. I wanted to talk to you about this first."
"About what?"
"About your feelings Mom, you didn't expect this to happen so soon."
"But I knew it would have to happen one day. So if it's early than expected so what. I, we will just try and explain it in the easiest way possible. And then when she is a bit older, in more detail."
"Shall I go and get her?" Sydney asked Irina
"Yes. There's no time like the present"
Sydney walked up to Laura's bedroom door and knocked on to it.
"Baby, can you come out please me and your Grandma Irina want to talk to?"
"I'm coming Mommy." Laura said through the door
Laura opened the door and went over to the sofa and sat down.
"Mommy, what do you want to talk about?"
"It's about what Grandma Claudia said about Grandma William. That why Grandma Irina is here now."
"Your going to tell me what happened?" Laura asked.
"Yes Laura." Irina said bending down. "We're going to tell you."
