Chapter 49 Confess

Seth;

As I walked through the woods with Harmoni, I kept wondering what I should do, should I really give Harmoni up in order to get out, I said to Roman I would but now I wasn't so sure I could do it. I really liked Harmoni, dare I say it, loved her, I didn't want to betray her but I had no other way out, Roman could give me a way out, all I had to do was betray Harmoni. We took a different path than usual, usually we went over the little bridge and deep into the woods where it was just giant trees and leaves to hide us. Now we were near a two black crosses, someone had died here, somewhere along the line there was another black cross, three bodies all in one spot.

She looked at them for a moment before going to the cross that was away from the original two. She touched the cross before sighing sadly, she got up and looked to me.

"Sorry I try to not come here as much as I do but sometimes I can't help it"

"Who is it, if you don't mind me asking"

She looked to me with such innocence I couldn't help but wonder if Roman was wrong about her. "My father, his wish was to be buried here. When theres lots of drama, I come out to see him, I guess deep down I'm a daddy's girl"

I wrapped an arm around her and looked her green innocent eyes deep to the soul, "Can I ask the about the other two?"

"My sister and her friend" Harmoni said rather coldly, she didn't spend anytime looking at their graves or even acknowledging them. It was like she didn't care for them. I guess I coudn't judge. Harmoni didn't say anything for a while and then against my best wishes, she spilled her guts in a way I wish she hadn't.

"I killed them"

"Harmoni"

"I snapped, I was meant to be picking Raven up from the train but she said she would make her own way home, Iziah was still in care, Jamie was in the hospital. I came home and there they were, like they owned the place. I shot them in the face, dragged their bodies out here and buried them. No one questioned it and no one ever found them. They dug up almost an entire forest but didn't find Maryse or Brittney. Raven came home an hour later and I told her what I did, she helped me get away with it"

Harmoni spat on the graves and started to walk away, I felt like bashing my skull against something so I would forget what she told me.

"I wish you hadn't said that Harmoni" I said sadly, I had no other choice but to tell Roman, unless I could tell Harmoni first and maybe she could pull a vanishing act.

"Why? Seth whats wrong?"

I raked my hands through my hair, not knowing what else to do except the obvious. "Harmoni, you shouldn't of told me that"

"I know its not something you want to hear, I don't know what to tell you, its just a part of who I am"

"You don't understand"

"Then help me understand." Harmoni placed her hands on my face, her soft skin only making me feel worse. "Seth tell me whats wrong"

"He knows that someone has killed them, he knows that they didn't disappear, he knows that it was you"

"Who knows what was me?"

"Roman"

"What?"

I let out a breath, "Roman is a FBI officer, he's here to find the killer of Maryse Oulette and Brittney Michales, he suspects you as the killer, he's waiting on the evidence."

Harmoni stepped away from me, pale as the truth set in, "And you're gonna give it to him, you're gonna sell me out!"

"Harmoni!" I tried to grab her hand but she fled away from me, running like a rabbit stalked by a dog. I had never felt lower on the rung.

Raven;

"Raven! Raven! Raven!" It had been awhile since she had screamed like that, it only proved that she was upset or freaking out.

"What?" I asked annoyed as I came down the stairs, as I saw her face the alarm bells started to ring. She was out of breath from all her running, leaves and mud stuck to her soles.

"We!. Problem!. Murder!"

"What?"

"Roman! FBI! Murder! Brittney! Knows its me! Help me!"

"Ok, Harmoni calm down" I tried to soothe her but I guess it wasn't working. I had managed to peice the bits together, she was going down and I had to help her. "Ok I got your back. I will make it better"

"How!?" Harmoni exploded now pacing the floor, I thought it would help when Seth showed up but instead it just made it worse. "Get him away from me! He sold me out! He's gonna tell Roman!"

"No, Harm I won't I promise!"

"Seth I think you should leave and now"

He had no choice but to leave and now she was on the floor in tears. As always I picked her up and told her it would be alright.

"Its not gonna be ok Raven, its over"

"Not until the fat bitch sings and I don't feel like hearin' a Vickie Guerrero tune. Now go to your room and get changed, burn everything you're wearing, take a hot shower and make sure you scrub until your red raw, at least one layer of skin has to come off. Then find me the shovel and gun you used, wear gloves and place them in my wardrobe under the pile of hats. You know your alibi, tell Iziah its D-day and make sure Jamie is out of the way, she don't need to see this."

"Raven" She was still slightly hysterical about this plan, it was what we had always planned and nothing would change.

"Harmoni! You have your orders soldier! Now move out!"

Instantly she fled upstairs and started on what I had told her to do, she wasn't gone long and then Iziah was back downstairs.

"Harm told me its D-day, are you sure you wanna do this?"

"I have too, its a mother protecting her young, a mother would sacrifice herself to make sure her young survives"

"Raven you're not a mother"

"Sure I am, and right now Harm needs me, I'm willin to sacrifice myself and spend life in that padded cell than to let Harm rot in jail. Now go explain to Jam whats going on and remember your part"

It only took an hour for the FBI to get here, by then we were ready. I even out on my Sunday best, the entire time we waited I never once thought about what I was doing, I only thought that this was the only way to save Harmoni. I only made one request and that was that my lawyer had to be my uncle Hunter, he had the best defence/win rate and our plan would only work if he defended me, but either way Harmoni would be safe and that was all that mattered.

"FBI Roman Reigns, is Harmoni Michales home?"

"Sure, I'll get her. Harm!"

She came down bouncy and happy like she was meant too, I knew that acting school paid off.
"Yessum?"
"Harmoni Karnage Michales, you are under arrest for the murders of Brittney Michales and Maryse Oulette"

I couldn't help but laugh making Roman look at me, "Something funny?"

"You have the wrong girl, if you want the killer of those two little sluts then right here cheif, but you know if you wanna take her then by all means, take her"

They looked between us not wondering who to believe, "Search my room, you'll find the gun and shovel I used, come with me and I'll take you straight to their graves, I'll even tell you every sick detail of how they screamed and pleaded for their lives, I'll even tell you how I got away with it for so long"

It was nothing but sheer dumb luck that they took my words, they found the evidence and pretty soon the cuffs were on me.

"Raven Venom Michales, you are under arrest for the murders of Brittney Michales and Maryse Oulette, you have the right to remain silent"

All I heard was blah, blah, blah. Harmoni had just gotten away with murder and I was spending life in a white padded cell. She would have the chance to get out of this town, as for me it didn't really matter. I was born here, I was happy to die here.
