Through Rayne's Eyes

Chapter 6

Rayne could only stare in shock at the dead Mr. Wellington. All she heard was Madison screaming over and over, Trish sobbing and Beth crying.

Sheriff Mills came in and asked everyone to wait outside. Abby had to lead Rayne out of the church because she wouldn't move.

"Everyone needs to go to the Inn and wait there." Sheriff Mills said.

Rayne and the others went back to the Inn and Rayne went to her room. When she shut her door, JD appeared out of nowhere and covered her mouth with one hand and pinning her against the wall. "Please don't scream."

She nodded and he backed away. "What happened in there?" he asks.

"A…A spade….dropped from the chandelier and…and….killed…Mr. Wellington." She said. She was still shaking. "I couldn't….I couldn't…." and then she fainted.

"Rayne…wake up…"

Rayne woke up a couple minutes later and sat up. "I told Henry I had one last surprise for him. The surprise was a Roman candle in the Unity Candle. I didn't kill Thomas Rayne."

"I know, I believe you JD."

"Henry thinks I did it. I know it." He helped her up. "Come on, I want to show you something,"

Rayne followed him into the woods and watched as he cut a rope and the lower half of a body fell onto the ground. Rayne covered her nose and mouth, shocked. JD was shocked also and the two watched as the upper half came down.

"God! It's Uncle Marty…"

Rayne closed her eyes as tears flowed down. Why was this happening? "We have to tell Henry." And she ran off.

When she met up with Henry, she told him about Uncle Marty.

"Take me to him."

"No."

Just then, JD appeared and Henry tackled him to the ground. "You're the reason he's dead!!"

"Henry, stop it!!" Rayne pulled Henry off JD and pushed him away. "JD did not kill Uncle Marty! He found him and showed me!!"

"Why?! Why Uncle Marty?!" Henry started crying.

"I don't know! But let's go find Abby and then we'll tell the Sheriff."

5 hours later

"JD is innocent, I know it." Rayne said, pacing in front of Harkin.

"Calm down Rayne. JD is innocent." Harkin says.

There was a knock on the door and he went to answer it. JD came in and Harkin closed the door.

JD stopped when he saw Rayne. "What are you doing here?"

"JD, you need to tell me the truth."

"What? Do you think I killed Uncle Marty?" he asks.

"No, but-."

"You don't believe me." He accused.

"JD, we've been friends for more than 10 years. Of course I believe you." she said, her voice breaking. Tears began to roll down her face. She then shoved JD out of her way and ran out of the cabin.

"Go after her." Harkin said.

JD grabbed a flashlight and ran after Rayne.
