The Not So Perfect Fairytale

Chapter 21

 We walked into the police station and I walked up to the desk and asked where they were holding taffy and showed my badge. The lady told me that they were in interrogation. I smiled and thanked her and walked toward the room with Jefferson leaving the others outside. I was mad and I was still in a dress.

I walked into the room and glared at the policeman that was sitting there. Jefferson told him that he had to leave to go talk to him in his office since he was the chief and that I would take Taffy to a holding cell.

I followed the orders and took her to the holding cell and uncuffed her and then locked the cell door. I looked at her and she looked regretful. I smiled at her and then sat down in a chair outside her cell and looked at her.

"You didn't kill them right, you are innocent and this is all a big mistake," I said looking into her eyes.

"I did not kill them but I do know who did," She said looking at me. I could not believe that she knew who the killer of her family was and she did not tell anyone. Didn't she want him to have a trial?

"Who? Why didn't you tell anyone? I don't understand why you did not tell anyone." I asked and she looked down at her feet.
"Settle in May, I am going to tell you the story of how I died." um wait what.

"What do you mean you are not dead," I said and she glared at me as if to tell me to shut up and listen. I nodded and looked at her.

"Like I was saying this is the story of how I died. I was eight years old and my family was not the greatest, to be honest. My father was always yelling and my mom was working three jobs. I was always being taken care of by my older sister Kit. When I was eight and Kit was fifteen. Kit got a boyfriend and she stopped spending time with me. That is when I started hanging out in the woods more than at home. That is when I became friends with the wolves and other creatures.

Anyways one day I went home and I walked inside yelling. My dad and Chris, my sister's boyfriend, were arguing about him taking me and kit somewhere else because my parents were not responsible for us. Then my dad got mad and hit me with a vase. I fell to the floor where kit ran over to me and put me in her lap I got dizzy then there was screaming as Chris shot both my parents and looked at me and kit.

Kit looked terrified and grabbed the gun that my dad had hidden in the drawer that was next to us. I heard two shots and then I felt the blood drip down onto me as my sister collapsed to the ground. I then saw Chris look at me before he ran out the door and I was lost in the blackness of sleep.

When I woke up I was in a hospital but no one knew who I was. All they knew is that I was in the house when a murder took place. One thing that you should know is that I was not born in a hospital so no one knew that I existed. They asked me who I was but all I said was there died. Over and over again and they worried that my head injury was worse than it was. But that night I escaped the hospital and ran. I was scared that he was going to come back for me to make sure that I was dead.

No one knew who I was so after searching for a year I was presumed dead. I had hidden in the woods for two years when you found me and we became friends when I was twelve and we were hanging out at the restaurant I read the newspaper and found out that Chris had died from suicide after killing two more people I was so glad that he could no longer come after me so.

The thing is that I was already dead and there was no one to go back to so I had decided that the day that I left the hospital Taffy Lawrence was dead and I was just Taffy's best friend to May and I was hoping to never have to deal with it again." Taffy was in tears by the end of the story and I could not believe that she had gone through all of that and was still so strong.

"I can not believe that happened to you. We will put you under a lie test to make sure you are telling the truth but if you are then you will be free to go. I am so sorry. The policeman from before said and I smiled happy that this would all be over soon.

Sadly not all hopes and wishes come true...

That is when I heard the sound of ticking...

Tick Tick Tick...

"Shit! Everyone out there is a bomb!" I yelled as I looked under the table where the sound was coming from. I unlocked the cell for taffy and everyone ran out of the building. Just as I and Taffy left the building it exploded I threw myself in front of Taffy and we were both thrown backward. Onto the ground and everything went black.
