Twisted fate|Agatha all along

Chapter 1

💜Seekest thou the road 💚

"Oh good you're here too mum, the boss man let you off your suspension."

Violet said as she saw her mother on the other side of the crime scene tape. It was a well known fact in town that the county ME and one of the towns detectives were related and it wasn't an uncommon occurrence to see them both at a scene. Agnes and Violet looked a little similar but also not enough similar for people not to question their mother daughter relationship.

"Good morning to you too Violet."

Agnes said as she took a sip from her coffee, Violet hadn't been home since yesterday morning, she had been swamped with autopsies.

"I'm guessing herb already told you her cause of death. She's definitely been moved, the pooling of blood doesn't match the position she's in. Also I noticed this weird blacking of her fingers, now it could be frostbite but also I don't think it is. And the souls of her-"

"I'm going to cut you off there Vi, I can see all that stuff already. Are they ready to turn her over yet?"

Agnes interrupted Violet, Violet shook her head, Agnes walking off, Violet assuming it was to go investigate.

"I'm sorry she just cut you off like that."

Herb apologised on behalf of Violet's mother, Violet softly chuckled before she turned to face the man.

"Don't worry I'm used to it, I do ramble a fair bit."

Violet told the man who smiled at her before walking off, Violet assumed it was to go find her mother as they were now ready to flip the body over. A minute later herb and her mother came back, her and the assistant ME flipping her over before she went and stood next to her mother.

"Who are you? What happened to you?"

Agnes softly said as she knelt over the body, Violet couldn't quite shake the feeling that she recognised the face.

"You okay Agnes?"

Herb asked breaking the two women out of their trance, Violet rolling her eyes at the man, before leaving to go get the gurney.

"How'd you mean?"

Violet overheard as she strayed further from the conversation and her mother. The rest of the conversation was just mumbles as Violet reached the road, where the van was parked. Violet humming her favourite song, the witches road by Lorna Wu as she got the gurney out of the truck.

💚💜

"I heard that you went and terrorised Dottie."

Violet told her mother as they sat in the living room eating dinner, which was takeout and beer. Violet's mother was not good at cooking, and Violet was too tired to cook anything.

"I heard that you yelled at Mitch, for quote unquote prepping the body all wrong and made him stand in the corner and think about what he did."

Agnes retorted, taking a sip from her beer, Violet shook her head as she chuckled.

"In my defence he did do it all wrong, he almost washed down the body before taking fingernail scrapings and swabs."

Violet said to her mother, who chuckled, putting a forkful of pad tai in her mouth.

"Well in my defence, Dottie wasn't being helpful."

Agnes told her daughter, who erupted with laughter, Agnes shaking her head at her daughter.

"When is Dottie ever helpful?"

Violet said between laughs, Dottie hated Violet for some reason, a reason that Violet could never quite get her to say.
