 "Daphne?!"  your jaw   drops  as a cold  icy chill runs down your spine.

You just stare in shock as Daphne smirks and goes over  to Tom. Tom laughs at the fear in your eyes as you stare at the knife glistening in the light in Daphne's hand. Steven stares as well and hold you close to his chest. You wondered

"Let's take this downstairs, shall we?" Tom chuckles evilly.

Daphne walks over, yanking you away from Steven. You stumble  over and look up at her, your eyes  filled with hurt and anger.  She simply smirks and twists your arm sharply behind your back until you cry out in pain thinking she's about to break it. You don't dare move as she pushes you forward towards the basement door.

You hear Tom walk over and grab Steven's arm and that's when you hear the cock of a pistol. You shudder a bit and remember that Tom was a dead shot at the sharp shooting class in school. It was just a silly little class that you all had to take growing up in this little town. There was never a  real point to it and  generally  everyone was bad, but Tom was the best. However at the  close range, it wouldn't matter if he was a good  shot  or not. 

You know what would happen if you try to run away and now there's no point in even attempting. Daphne and Tom lead you both back down into the basement. As you get to the bottom Daphne pushes you down the last few stairs so you fall down them and hit your head. You cry out sharply and clutch your head. Steven yanks away from Tom and rushes to your side lifting you into his arms protectively as he helps you sit  up.

"Now, isn't that sweet?" Daphne coos mockingly.

"Why you doing this?" you finally speak, staring at them both.

"Why does this even surprise you?" Daphne  scoffs.

" Because, we grew up as sisters. I  don't understand why you doing this to me!" you lean against Steven as  he helps you to your feet.

"I've always hated you, you little brat," Daphne  spits out the words.  

"As soon as I had made my plans to take care of the Shermans,  I told Daphne since we were dating after all," Tom chuckles.

"You mean to tell me you killed your own uncle and Aunt?" Steven snaps angrily.

"They never treated me me like I I deserved," Tom snaps. "I was the family they should have cared for. I  was the family they acknowledged.  Unlike (Y/n) Here, I wasn't the little mistake they made and try to get rid of. They actually were successful in getting you out of their their lives. I will never understand  why they changed their minds. Or maybe they just pitied you."
