Fallen Angel

Avoca slowly woke up, wishing that what had happened was only a dream. Then she realized where she was, its real. What happen the night before was real. Avoca sat in her small prison with her arms wrap around her knees.

Half of the day went by and she barely moved. She heard feet walking over to her cell. "Acova Emma Van Ember, you have visiters." said an officer. Avoca looked up and saw her mother and sister. Acova gave them a weak smiled and stood up "Mother. Amiria." She grab Amiria's hand through the bars. "I am so glad to see you." Her mother gave her a weary look "Tell me you didn't do it, Avoca!" She look at her mother with hurt in her face. "Mother, I swear I didn't do it." Her mother looked away. "You believe me, right?" Her heart shank when her mother did not anwser. "Amiria. You believe, don't you?" Her sister squeezed her hand "Of course I do. It just going to be hard to convince others."

The officer came up "Your time is up." Then walked away. Amiria smiled at her sister, " Your trial is on today. They are going to force you to confess. They want you to be gulity because they are too lazy to find who ever did it. Be strong, Avoca." Then her sister and mother left.

The officer unlocked her door and put shakles around her wrist and ankles. He then lead her out of the cell and up to the court room.

Avoca sat infront of everyone in the room. Her mother and Amiria where on one side. Richard's family was on the other side and the glared at Avoca with digust. The justice minster sat infront, with Avoca just to the side. An office then stood up "Avoca Emma Van Ember is accused of the murder of Richard Dominic Glenbow."

Avoca was feeling dizzy as one by one questions were being thrown at her.

"Avoca, you were there the night he was killed? Descibe who did it?" She then replied "I did not see him. He was to fast." she sighed.

"Avoca, did you know that he was giving you all his money? Half of his parents Estate?" Avoca looked at them and then to the ground "Yes, I knew he was giving me his money"

"Avoca, I hear that you family is struggling with money. Is this true?" She looked at her family then nodded her head.

"Avoca, How long have you known Richard? When were you engaged? Did he know about you family problems." One by one the questions contuined. Avoca felt as if the room was spinning around her "He was my future husband. I loved him, why would I kill him."

Then the Justice minster stood up "By what I have heard today, by the answers of the accused. Avoca Emma VanEmber is gulity of the murder of Richard Dominic Glenbow and is thereby sentenced to death." The two officers that stood beside Avoca grab her forearms "I didn't do it. I swear I didn't do it. Please believe me. I loved Richard. I would give my life for him." Tears ran down her face as the officers dragged her away.

Mrs. Glenbow stood up and smiled "Finally, the tramp is going to be out of our lives." Amiria over heard her and started yelling "My sister is no Tramp, she is the most generous person I know. She is better then me. She is even better then you. She is Inocent." The offices then kicked Amiria out of the Court house and on to the street. Her mother following behind.

Avoca sat in her cell waiting for the time to come when her life will end.
