Mystified

Chapter 6 ( part 2)

A big humongous trunk just comes in front , its headlights shone bright like a large diamond in the rays of the sun . And then , it crashes into my car . I see pieces stabbing into me , the world blurred before my vision . I thought it's the end but.......no.

I open eyes with pain , light glares straight into my eye . "Ow! " . "Mia , are you okay ? " I recognize that voice , it's Jenny . "Jenny! Where am I now ? & what's going on now ? ". My vision starts to clear , I see Jenny & by the look of her frowned face , I smell bad news . "See Mia , you have injured yourself badly & it wasn't your fault you ended up in the hospital bed " . Then who's is it , I would never leave the person responsible for it . I look down upon myself & whisper , " is it someone I know?" . She nods . Urgh , why , I yell inside of me , my voices echoing in my brain .

Then he comes in , Marcus . " I am sorry , um , for this " . Anger creeps into me , and words blurt out like cannons being thrown . " How can you ever being forgiven , you rascal , I know it's you who did all this to my mother , why? " A gush of tears run down my cheeks but I try to hide it , I have to prove myself strong . "but listen me out dear..." . I cut him off " don't you dear me , not after u did this " . But then I gave myself a second thought , my mom always says ' Hear people out , when they have something to tell . Maybe it is useful .' . I let out a sigh , " Fine , tell whatever you want to say " .

He takes a deep breathe and starts , "Before I start I would like to say , I never killed your mom . She was a beautiful lady who was full of innocence & purity . I thought you may know who was behind her death . "  A surge of guilt crept through me but on other thought maybe he's just convincing me and acting real nice . But not this time , I could see it in his eyes .

Marcus pushes the lock of my hair and slide it behind my ears . " I know this might be confusing for you all, me being a criminal , and nice . And I'm really sorry for the way I acted towards you . It's just after Luke died ,  i see him in you Mia . That's all" And then he comes too close , I feel discomfort and even , terror for some reason . "Mia !! " a voice shouts at me , before I could turn. But then he whispers " Now I see you as my own daughter and you must see me as your own father, " . He then moves back and the whole day me and Jenny just go on talking .
