Paradox Love <|AHS, Murder House

Chapter 4

Juliet exhaled deeply and licked her lips. She rubbed the rubber mask between her fingers before she placed it in front of her.

Constance watched intensely as Juliet crouched down and covered the mask with the dirt from the ground, until it wasn't visible anymore, She placed her hand on the dirt and closed her eyes. It was very early in the morning, the other Harmon's were still sleeping soundly.

"Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino.

Qui fertis ascendit super caelum caeli ad Orientem

Ecce dabit voci suae vocem virtutis, tribuite virtutem deo."

Juliet placed both hands on the dirt before she opened her eyes and stood up.

"And?" Juliet turned to look at her.

"I don't know. I have never done this before"

"Mom?" They turned around to see Addy standing there, looking very confused. Constance's hand shot to her neck.

"Addy?" Addy laughed and ran to her mom. Constance hugged her and cried happy tears. She kept muttering 'Addy', over and over again. Juliet smiled softly at the two before she slowly moved away, back to her home. She smiled at Moira as she passed her before she walked up the stairs.

Once she reached her room she opened the door and noticed someone sitting on her bed. Tate. He sat in silence, staring at his hands. He looked up when he noticed Juliet had entered.

"Hey" Juliet smiled softly, closing the door behind her. When she turned back to Tate he was right in front of her and pushed her against the door. Juliet gasped, feeling him pressing against her.

"What did you do?" His lips brushed hers with every word.

"I send them away, somewhere they will can never harm anyone" Tate searched her eyes, trying to find a trace of her lying but found none.

"And why didn't you do the same to me. You know what I have done. You know and you led me stay. Why!" He barked, slamming his fist against the door. Juliet flinched before she reached up and cupped his face. His eyes softened but didn't lose their anger.

"Because I know it wasn't you. I know Tate. I have felt the darkness in the house from the moment I stepped inside. I have felt it luring me but something kept me back Tate." She smiled, tears brimming in her eyes, seeing the fear in his.

"What?" Tate asked, his voice breaking. Juliet, instead of answering kissed him, pouring every feeling she had when she was near him into it. All the love, desperation and helplessness. Tate's hand left the door and moved to her back. They left the door and moved onto the bed. Tate pulled away, letting air flow back into Juliet's lungs. "How long have you know?"

"Just after our first meeting. I did some research about the town and well the twins in the basement aren't helping" Tate rolled off her and exhaled deeply, a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Juliet wiggled until she was laying against him, their exposed arms touching.

"Tate?"

"Hmm"

"Can you do me a favour" Tate rolled over so he was facing her. Juliet did the same, their noses nearly touching.

"Everything"

"Watch over Violet for me" Tate frowned. "She is my sister, and she is the only in this family that I still care for" Tate nodded and pulled her in his arms.

"I will protect her with my life"

Juliet sat at her dinner table, a cup of coffee in her hands. Constance sat in front of her, having invited her as a thank you for 'saving' Addy. Tate had gone off, saying he had a surprise for her but he needed to prepare something. He seemed so much happier now that he didn't have to hide anything from Juliet anymore.
