We reach the house and the first thing I see is Rose watering her flowers with the hose, a glass of wine in her free hand. Rafe jumps out the car first and we follow.

"Hey! Your dad is not gonna like that you're back home" Rose declares.

"He told me I could come here" Rafe replies.

"Well, he didn't tell me" Rose retorts.

The blonde woman quickly spots Sarah and I, her face dropping and her head tilting slightly in confusion.

"Why aren't you two on the plane?" She asks.

"Ask Rafe" Sarah spits before running into the house.

Rafe follows and Sarah slams the door in his face. He angrily swings it open again and storms inside.

I wait a second before walking forward to the house, but I'm stopped when Rose yells.

"Stop" She shouts.

I stop in my tracks and turn to face the woman. She puts her glass down and drops the hose, walking towards me.

The first thing she does is grab my wrists, turning my hands palm up to see the blood covering them.

"Is this yours?" She questions and I swear I can see concern swimming in her brown eyes.

"No, ma'am" I answer truthfully and she nods, letting go my hands and crossing her arms over her chest.

"Go get cleaned up" She tells me.

"I will" I assure her, walking away.

I head straight upstairs to my room and as I go to slam the door shut, a hand hits the wood. My whole body swivels around in fright and in gulp when I see Rafe standing in my doorway.

"You understand why I did it, right?" He asks, looking the most vulnerable I've ever seen him.

"Not when there was another way" I breathe out.

"Sylvie" He croaks, a tear running down his face.

"I'm sorry, Rafe, but I've got to wash the blood off my hands" I state bluntly and he nods, taking a step back.

I close the door and lean against it, my eyes screwing shut to stop myself from crying once again.

A loud masculine scream sounds from the hallway and my door violently shakes as something hits it, making me flinch. Rafe storms away, his footsteps and heavy breaths disappearing down the hall.

I take a deep breath and walk over to my bed, practically collapsing onto it. My eyes flutter shut in what is only meant to be a short rest, but I fall into a deep sleep that is corrupted with blood curdling screams and gunshots.

I step out of the bathroom after a long steaming shower and I notice Sarah sat on my bed.
