I know this chapter is going to be VERY short, but I just wanted a small bridge between the events of the past and the now coming events and I wanted to give you some more insight into this story and the motives behind the murders and of course it's back to action and work and the fluff will be standing aside for a bit. I don't know how long this story will be, but I can tell you that it won't be longer than 20 chappies in total, so perhaps 8 more chapters to come, perhaps less. We'll see how this turns out in the end.
So I hope you like this chapter, although it's MUCH shorter. ;)
Chapter 12: Insight – Part II
While Mac and Stella were at work for the first day since they moved here, she was walking up and down in her living room, trying to figure out what she had to do now. Much to her dismay Mac and Stella where just the kind of couple that she hated so much, but as she was sitting together with her friends and them yesterday she actually found herself liking them. They were so different then those dead couples were. They had a bond, non of them had, an understanding, non of them had and they weren't just hanging together all the time like it was with the last three couples. They seemed so different, yet made for each other.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I thought about me and Cody." She thought angrily. "But I can't… not this time."
I was almost 10 am. She stopped in front of the big living room window and stared into the garden, her mind picturing a small girl playing with her daddy. She shook her head with anger, wanting to push those pictures to the back of her head. She didn't want to be bothered with them, she didn't want to be reminded of them and she didn't want to think about the great and happy time they had when Amelie's dad was with them. She stared into the garden, her mind racing with thoughts, memories, plans and anger. Was this the time for her final revenge?
"Oh right… what am I supposed to do. I can't do that to Amelie. This time I won't get away, I just know that." She whispered to herself. A heavy sigh escaped her lips.
Suddenly she felt miserable and lost. She started asking herself why on earth she started this horrible, anger driven plan and how she could do that to her daughter. She loved her more than anything and wanted her to have a good life, with her, but she feared that this time was ending soon. She wouldn't be able to be there when Amelie got married, she would never get to see her grandchildren, if she would have some. She wouldn't be able to be there when Amelie graduated and started her job and her new life. She knew that she would be caught anytime soon now. And she would leave her daughter to fend for herself.
"I still have time to tell her. I still could hide. I…" she started to think. "No, I can't. I can't tell her and I can't hide either. How could I do that?"
She began to regret her actions, but now she couldn't make them undone. She couldn't bring those couples back to life and she couldn't pretend that she didn't do anything of that either. It was too late, her time was running out now. There was something about Mac and Stella Taylor that made her believe that she had no chance anymore and she couldn't do to them what she did to those other couples. She just couldn't and she didn't know why.
"It's time to start the last part of my evil, anger-driven plan. Soon." She told herself.
Please don't forget to tell me what you think! More Smacked action coming soon! :) PS: I also updated "Millie Taylor" and would love you to drop by and check it out, too! :)
Have a great weekend!
