Ch 3
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Donkey answered it. It was Lillian. She'd left the babies at the castle with a servant until she came back. "What're you doing here?" he asked as she came in. "I need to speak to my son in law. He needs help. Even if he doesn't want it." She told him.
She saw her son in law talking to her daughter's corpse and was confused. "Why is he doing that?" she asked Puss quietly. "He didn't want to bury her because of what they had. I had an idea but it's the last resort if we can't get through to him." He explained as she came near him.
"Hello son. I know it hurts. Why don't we give her a proper funeral? I don't think she would like this." She told him. He nodded sadly. But he tightened his grip around his wife's body. "Just leave me alone! You look just like her. J-Just go back to where you belong, okay and leave me to grieve?" he told her angrily. Both Puss and Donkey were worried by that. They'd never seen him like this before. "It's okay senor. Chill. We're not taking her, okay? Just calm down." Puss told him.
They watched as he fell to his knees and started beating himself up. Puss then injected something into him. Lillian watched as he hit the floor. "What did you do to him? You didn't hurt him, did you?" she said to him. "No I didn't kill him. I gave him something to calm him down. The mental asylum seems the only option but I don't want to yet. I know he can heal and move on, I just know it!" he explained.
Lillian nodded to him. She then came over and sat on the floor beside her son in law cradling him in her arms. She knew how much her daughter meant to him and now that she was gone, there was nothing left for him that was worth living. That thought worried her, Puss and Donkey greatly. "If that's true, we must keep a close eye on him." Puss told them. They agreed. Lillian knew that would be more hard for the kids to take if they knew their father was gone like their mother. She watched as he came around. "What happened? All I remember is talking to my wife's dead body. Then everything went black. I need to tell you guys something. I... I wish to leave this world so I can be with her and feel no more pain." he said to her calmly.
Puss was shocked by that. He watched as the boss fell asleep in the alligator chair alone with his thoughts. He needed to help him before he made a huge mistake. Donkey agreed but knew he couldn't change his friend's mind. But in the after life Fiona had been watching. She felt sorry that because of her, her husband wanted to kill himself. She wanted to help him see she was still with him before it was too late...
