"Mrs Star. Ignore him and continue your story!" Mrs Sting brought her back to her senses. Mrs Star was spiralling into her own world of pity but Mrs Sting had now brought her to the harsh reality. She needed to complete her story and try to save her face." I advised him to see the guidance councellor but he had refused. He said he wasn't comfortable with him and that he preferred talking to me. I had believed him. I did not intend on having an affair. I was just concerned at his grades dropping so suddenly and staying at that steady pace." Mrs Star looked around hoping to win her audience." Why did you believe him?" Mrs Sting prompted her."I believed him like any person would. Maybe I was too gullible." Mrs Star shrugged."And then what happened?" " After the third meeting, he touched me in an inappropriate manner. I should have stopped it but it felt so good. It was naughty and gave me an adrenaline rush. By the fifth visit I had given in to his kisses. Eventually it became a ful
" What occasion?" Mrs Freeman just had to ask.Mrs Star already knew that her reputation was now tainted. She might as well make the most of her time on the stand, after all it was both Brook's and Bobby's fault that she was up here in the first place. " Well. Bobby asked me to try something naughty and I did. He brought in Brook and we had a delightful time together in the office. I had never tried it before but I joined the teens who were still exploring their sexualities." Mrs Star stared at Brook and blew her a kiss.Immediately Brook shouted." She is lying.""Silence. You will have your turn to speak." The judge banged the gavel over and over until their ears rang."Mrs Star, you are under oath. Do you understand what you are saying? You are accusing these children of doing adulterous acts. Is this true and correct or are you harbouring hatred towards them?" Mrs Freeman asked if in a sincere yet judgemental tone." Yes. I understand. I have said all that was true and correct."
His heart pounded in his chest," Miss Summer Ray...........she was a good person........but......."Everyone in the room became silent when he said but, it looked like they all anticipated the worst."But I had never seen Miss Summer Ray in a councelling session. She was always so bubbly. I had known her history of her mother being a single parent and her father walking out but there was never a day that Summer Ray let it get to her. She was an A student. She took her work seriously. I don't know anything about her love life. I mean they are teenagers, she kept it private so even if she had trouble in that aspect of her life, no one would ever know. As far as I am concerned, Miss Summer Ray was a good kid that wasn't suicidal." Mr Boyle said in one breath."So you don't know about her love life. Do you think she was suicidal because of Mr Bobby Styles?" The judge asked. She couldn't help but be curious.Ella stared at the television, she couldn't believe her ears, they were accusing h
" That's a lie. I am no killer. Summer Ray is alive!" Broom stood up and pointed at Mr Boyles." You will regret this. I am no murderer. I have nothing to do with that b**** and her gone missing. She isn't dead. That isn't her in that grave. It is her mother! Sheila Ray! I had seen her face being ripped off by a wolf. I don't know how she damn got into a freezer but she did." Mrs Freeman grabbed Brook by the hand and tugged her back onto the chair.In the witness room, Ella grinned widely. Brook sounded like a crazy lunatic that said anything that came to her mouth. She knew she was telling the truth, but the truth sounded crazy."Miss Freeman. Please control your client." The judge requested.She looked at the time. It was already four o clock."Court adjourned until next Monday. It is set for final trail before the jury delivers their verdict. At this time the defendants will remain in police custody." The judge banged her gavel for the last time and left to her chambers.Everyone s
Ella looked around the restaurant, it was still busy and her mind was working on a plan to make Brook go nuts. She wanted her to atleast be in an asylum if not a jail cell. She knew that Brook's father , the captain, would make life easy for her. She would be living a good life, as if she was in a hotel.Ella wanted to just blurt out her idea but the journalists that sat in the restaurant had their ears, recorders and pens ready. Anything that they heard would be interpreted into something negative. Her father was the face of real estate in the town, if he received negative media, the town mayor could use the opportunity to milk him for more than it's worth."Are you ready to order?" The chinese girls with long, black straight hair asked with a wide smile.Ella picked up the menu and stared at its contents," what do you suggest?"She wasn't very familiar with the names."I would take the seared lobster tail with pepper and onion sauce." The girl suggested. Ella admired her hair," You
"Ella. Enough of this childishness."Patrick Ray sternly warned Ella before whispering," you are attracting media attention. Can't you see what he is doing?"Ella could not she what he was doing, she was drawn in by his smile and his sea blue eyes. There was something about him that made her want him more and more each time they crossed paths. She couldn't quite figure out if she was in love, lust or just plain infatuation with the person that just saved her weeks ago from a gargoyle or if they had a bond.Patrick clicked his fingers in front of her face which brought her back to the current reality.Officer Duke had left the restaurant yet she was still staring into that corner as if he was still there.She noticed a piece of paper on the table next to his empty glass and excused herself to the ladies room."I will come with you." Her mother offered but Ella hurriedly walked towards the ladies room. Passing by the bar, she picked up the piece of paper.Entering the stall, she opened t
Although Patrick Ray was a very witty individual, he chose to ignore his gut feeling. He knew he saw someone parked outside, he could feel the hair on his neck stand up. It was as if there was a pair of eyes focused on his family but he shook the feeling away and jumped into the car.As soon as they reached the hotel, they walked straight to Patrick Ray's room and locked the door behind them.Ella finally burst into a frenzy of mangled words. Stella touched her daughter's hand and calmed her down. She could not believe what had just happened. She felt as if they were set up.She wondered who could possess such power to set them up with a clan of highly skilled ninjas."It could only be one person." After wrecking her brain for a few minutes.Patrick and Stella stared at her in silence, waiting for her to divulge her inner thoughts."Brook." Ella finally growled." She had done this many times, used people to get to me. But this time she really went overboard.""Are you sure?" Patrick a
Thirty minutes later they were outside the Wilds residence. They hid in a small bush just outside the large white walls of the mansion.Ella took out a set of binoculars and climbed up a tree. She scanned the yard but it was empty.She hoped there were no dogs hiding out in the front. Thinking about her last encounter with those dogs, made her cringe. Her Luna had to save her or she would have been dog food."The yard is empty. The lights are off. I guess they are asleep." Ella whispered."Do you two really think this is a good idea? We could get charged with breaking and entering. We are not thieves." Stella warned." This is the best idea yet." Ella whispered."Shhhh. Keep it down,mom, otherwise we will get caught."Ella looked at her time. It was eleven forty five. She knew the Wilds will be asleep by now.She took out the X ray binoculars again and scanned the windows of the house." Bingo. I got her bedroom."Ella climbed down from the tree and crawled to the wall. " Give me a boos
