Psycho Mate

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Breeden read the paper, before slowly looking up at everyone. He looked from his sister to his mother, to Stella, then Meadow, and back to his sister.

  "Okay then...I guess you two are part of the family now." Breeden said, an odd look on his face. Stella and Meadow, grinning and laughing, sat down on his lap to hug him. He laughed at them.

  "Yeah, now our family is definitely weird!" Forest exclaimed with a laugh.

  "It doesn't matter. We were pretty much a family already. I mean, think about it. We all spend so much time together, anyways." Meadow had an odd look on her face as well.

  "Yeah, well now we actually are a family!" Stella exclaimed, hugging her sisters and her brother. Breeden chuckled and wrapped his arms around all three of the girls.

                                                       ************************************************

  "What's going on?!" James shouted, "I didn't do anything! Why are you arresting me?!" He had just been shoved against the door of his car by two police officers.

  "Mr. Holt are you aware of your Miranda Rights?" the younger officer asked.

  "Yes, yes! Please don't start reciting them to me!" James huffed. "Why am I being arrested?"

  "You are being arrested for the sexual assault of  a minor." the older officer said, as he cuffed James's wrists.

  The officers led James to their waiting police cruiser, as they were recorded by half the school. The last thing James saw before he was pushed into the police cruiser was Forest, giving him a sickly sweet smile and waving. 

                                                                   **************************

    A week after James was arrested, a police officer showed up on the Blackwoods' doorstep. "Can I help you officer?" Nate asked the man.

   "Yes, I'm looking for Forest Mooring." Nate turned and yelled Forest's name up the stairs. A moment later, she appeared next to him and shooed him off.

   "Can I help you officer?" Forest asked curiously, giving him a wide-eyed look.

   "I have come to you about your involvement in the recent rape of a minor by the name of Clarissa Blakely." the officer answered. "I was told that you were an eyewitness."

                                                                        *********************************

   "Ms. Mooring, you say you walked in on Mr. Holt raping Ms. Blakely, Is that correct?"" James's defense attorney asked.

   "Yes," Forest said with a nod, before pulling out her phone. "I managed to snap a picture before he noticed I was there." She handed her phone to the attorney. "I also have a feeling that you will find more evidence in his car, as well." She gave James a sickly sweet smile. "Oh, don't look so angry, James," she said with a laugh, "You should have known you would get caught eventually." A hush fell over the courtroom.

   Forest turned to the jury. "James has been doing this for years. He's raped many girls, and he probably even killed a few. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you found pictures of all of his victims, along with trophies from the rapes."

    Then, Forest turned to James again and addressed him directly. "You were always an idiot. By the way, that burning sensation you're feeling down there...I found those condoms in your car," She smirked at him, crossing her left leg over her right and putting her hands on that knee, before adding "you're welcome."

   "You little bitch!" James shouted, standing up so fast that he knocked his chair over. "I'm gonna kill you!" 

   Forest didn't flinch. "Go ahead, come at me. I'll just beat your ass like the last time you attacked me." 

  James only managed to get to Forest before two parole officers detained him. Then, Forest stood up, leaning over the railing to get into James's face. "Don't be sad, James," she teased,  "maybe you'll be able to beat me when you get out of prison." Then, she sat down with a smirk before adding, "Highly unlikely. I mean you've raped...how many...five girls. That's twenty-five years, at least." Then, she turned to James's attorney, a thin young brunette with green eyes and a stony expression. "Are we done here?"

   The brunette sighed. "Yes, we're done. You can go." Forest smirked, standing up and leaving the witness stand.

                                                                                *********************
