"It was not at all as they make it out in the show" Wendy commented.

"No" Amos was gloomy "but it was one of the may hallucinations that I had while I was imprisoned in the coffin…one of many..." he shivered…."It is Orczy's doing. He made me relive it… and send my mind back… back..." he shivered, then got up and began touching the walls, the furniture the people around him…"I have to convince me again that I am not trapped. That this is reality…I thought I put behind me but it is still there…"

They watched him as he made himself calm down. Wendy sighed "One problem with that storyline is how people could accept that the heir to the fortune suddenly went to England and cut all contact with the family…. On the other hand, a nephew who has been a thorn on his uncle's side and was getting too familiar with his new aunt… yes, people could see the logic of that… They probably thought that Jacob had him shipped to England at gunpoint…"

"Almost as bad as having Genevieve go shopping for her trousseau in Paris in 1794. 1794! That was when Robespierre was cutting off heads left and right" Beverly commented "as a historian I feel like throwing a book at the screen when they came out with that ridiculous idea."

Eventually Amos calmed down and resume his story.

"Jacob was the first one I killed… before that I assaulted. I brutalized, I terrified, but left my victims alive so that they could testify about their terror…. Yes, I caused Tina Royce's death, but that was an accident but Jacob I tore with my hands…. And drove Genevieve to her death…

' But that was not all. I knew what Hepzibah had done so the next day or night rather I stalked the mansion, waiting for when she would come back from the service of Reverend Moore… and when she walked te grounds I stopped her."

…..

"Amos! Where have you been? What wickedness have you been involved with. That Popish whore paid for er misdeeds and so will you if you don't repeat!"

"Repent yourself, dear aunt. Repent of your lies repent of how you caused Genevieve's death."

"I told the truth!"

"And now I will tell you another truth. I will kill you know but not before I tell you what I think of you."

…..

"She fought and screamed, but for a very short time. I tore he apart as I had done with Jacob. I feasted on her blood and looked down on her body. "Justice" I said.

"But I forgot that there was no room for justice, just revenge….Kisasu meant only revenge, nothing more…and I would learn a harsh lesson that each time I claimed Justice an innocent would die. Genevieve died after I delivered justice to Jacob… and after Hepzibah…. I did not know it then, but when I had been stalking Hepzibah Becky had caught a glimpse of me from er window. She recognized me and was in a hurry to meet me and tell me to come home… she snuck out and raced after me. She managed to stumble and fell into a pond. I do not know what she saw and heard as I dealt with Hepzibah… She struggled to get out of the pond… I could have seen her… heard her but I was too rapt in delivering justice…

'She drowned and I could have saved her…

He was silent again fighting to control himself. It was hard so hard.

"In the show they were more merciful. I was able to stand by Becky's bedside and say goodbye to her instead of being deaf to her pleas and letting her die….too busy with taking revenge to look out for my little sister… And Kisasu was not done with me"

…

Reverend Moore thundered over Hepzibah's remains 'This is what comes from embracing Popery. Jacob and his strumpet were punished by the devil they unleashed…. But the evil will claim more victims." He turned to Lucas Benchley "Deliver the other Papist strumpet to us and we will carry out our justice:

"This is my home." Lucas said with clenched teeth. "Leave it or I release the hounds on you."

"You protect that Popish whore! And will allow her to marry your servant." He turned to Silas "And you… you are a true Christian, reject her lies. We rescued you from paganism, from serving the devils in Africa… and this is how you repay us. We showed you the Light of Christ…"

"Yes." Silas muttered "My mother told me how she was rescued about the horrors of the trip she was force to take"

"So that she could know Christ. Those ships brought her to the freedom from sin."

…..

"The fool sang the praises of the slave trade, and Kisasu listened to him."
