At the Pingleton house Polly was asking more questions than Prudy had ever heard her ask. The most important one Polly wanted answered was "Is that man really my dad?"

"Yes, That's your father. I don't know why he's here thought. He was supposed to be in prison for twenty years."

"He was in prison, why, how long has he been there? How come you didn't tell me I had a father."

"I didn't say you had no Father I said …."

"I know what you said. You told me my father died and now he comes back, Why didn't you tell me where he was."

"I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you. He committed a very serious crime and I never will forgive him. And don't ask me again what he did. You are still a child and you don't need to know how awful your father really is."

This made Polly angrier than ever. Her mother was always calling her a child but didn't she realize she was 15? "Mom, I'm not a child I'm fifteen and in 10 months I'll be sixteen. You can't keep information about my father hidden from me. I have a right to know and if you don't tell me I'll find him and ask him myself."

"Polly Lynn Pingleton I forbid you from ever talking to that man again."

"What man…Oh you mean your Husband! The only way to keep me away from him is to tell me the truth. What did he do that was so bad that he was sent to prison and you won't talk to him?"

"If I tell you will you promise not to get mad?"

"I promise."

"Well when you were two I had another child a boy named Brandon. But he died soon after he was born. It made your Father very mad. He blamed you for being a girl and taking Brandon's place, why I don't know . One night he was so mad he took you from the house and tried to kill you. I know you don't remember since you were so little but that's how it happened. I love you so much Polly and I didn't want you to ever come in contact with him again. I was only trying to protect you."

Polly couldn't believe what her mother had just told her. Her father, the man she almost hugged today tried to kill her. Polly couldn't believe how calm her mother seemed. At first she was mad at her mother from keeping such a secret from her. She thought about how hard it must have been on her mother to keep that secret from her and she instantly forgave her mother. Then it hit her, her father had tried to kill her "I'm going to kill him!!!" Polly screamed as she tried to run out of the house but Prudy grabbed the girls hand looked into her eyes and said "Polly, Don't I know your mad but don't hurt him, here" she said shove a rosary into her daughters hand "go pray for him, he needs it."

As her daughter left the room Prudy walked up to her room went in and locked the door then walked over to one of the many crosses kneeled and said "Forgive me father I have sinned I have lied to my daughter….

A/N A bit of a cliff hanger I hope it make it interesting but what did Prudy lie about? Answer coming soon (I hope)
