Criminal

Chapter 12

***

Zoey's P.O.V.

"Ms. Belladonna please state your story as it will be recorded. Press the button when you're ready to start," instructed Mrs. Huffman. The recorder was just a phone.

I took a deep breath before pressing the record button. I told everything from the start where everyone accused me as criminal until to the part when I woke up and was told that Davon was the mastermind behind it all.

I started crying in the end because I was just relieve everything was finished. My tears were from stress and it just came out.

Mrs. Huffman had to press the recording button so it would stop. It was a miserable thought that I didn't get to say anything to Davon before he was killed.

Maybe it was best I didn't say anything to him.

I waited for Mrs. Huffman to be finished with her paper work on my case so she can drive me home.

As for Kate, she's babysitting Kona at the mall. Mrs. Huffman finally appeared.

"I'm finished Zoey," she said, "we can picked up your sister and Kate so we can eat at a restaurant today.".

We headed towards her car and I sat in the passenger seat. I put my seatbelt on and thought for a moment."Mom thanks for everything," I told her.

She looked at me and said, "Anything for you dear." She started the engine and we were off.

Mrs. Huffman is my biological mom but she had surgery after the fire. I have a multiple personality disorder, it was triggered when our old house burned down.

The side effects to my disorder is that my innocent personality forgets what the other personalities have done.

The reason why our old house was burnt down was because of my mom. We lived in a two story building.

I was asleep in a sleeping bag at the living room with Kate, Davon, and Rose since they slept over.

As my mom arrived from one of her meetings she walked in to my dad doing it with one of his mistress.

My mom was outraged and started attacking the woman but she was protected by my dad.

My parents room were filled with scented candles so my mom grabbed all her perfumes and broke them on the floor.

My father tried to calm her down as the woman was shaking in fear behind him. Then she clutched two lit candles and dropped them on the floor. The floor easily caught on fire since it was carpeted.

I saw everything that happened.

The woman ran towards the door and I ran towards the stairs. I looked behind me and saw the woman approaching so I decided to tripped her so she would fall. I blamed her for my mother's action and my parents fighting.

The woman fell and died due to her head hitting the tiled stairs.
I looked down and saw Rose. I felt scared she might tell everyone but she ran back to Kate and Davon to wake them up because of a fire. I couldn't move because I realized I killed someone.

I started to cry and ran back to my parents' room only to see my mother stabbing my father constantly with a knife.

My mother stopped and looked at me. I was scared because this person didn't seem to be my mom anymore. She headed her way towards me and kneeled down to cradle me in her arms. She told me to be strong, and that she'll find later after this messed.

I ran downstairs but ended up sleeping on the woman's blood and my head hit the tiles. Next thing I knew Davon was carrying me outside and I heard alarms of policemen and fire fighters.

Kona and I were left as orphans until some lady gave us a house to live in.

We didn't recognize our mom since she had plastic surgery. Kona was too young to understand the situation so my mom left her out of the plans. My mom told me she wanted to get revenge my dad's mistresses.

We found out most of them had families or a child. There was Aaron, Onyx, Klein, and Jay.

My mom was not the mastermind of this. All she wanted was revenged but I wanted blood to be spilled.

"Look Kate! They're here," Kona said excitedly.

"Well we better get inside the car, " Kate told Kona. They finally got inside of the car and I noticed Kona was so cheerful I couldn't help but smile.

Then I looked at Kate, she was staring out of her window as usual. Kate wasn't part of the plan from the beginning but she offered me a deal. Kate wanted her twin brother dead and we could use him as the person behind the killings.

I also had to make fake documents about him having an obsession towards me.

This side of me never loved him. He was too clingy and annoying but my innocent side loved him to the moon and back.

We soon arrived at the restaurant and ate our food.

My mom took Kona to the arcade near by while Kate and I chatted. "So how are the files from the private investigator Davon hired?" I asked her.

"Deleted and I paid him to just forget about this problem," Kate answered.

"I was nervous about that video of Jay in the bar. I thought i would be busted. A wig and green colored eye contacts really do help you," I jokingly said.

"Can't believe you made everyone believe Rose was working with my brother," she said before she took a sip from her drink.

"She would have just minded her own business,"I stated. 

I ordered Kate to stalked Rose so we can know her schedule since she decided to sneak around and spy on us.

My mom dealt with her and she happened to borrow her partner's jacket that night. The pieces just put themselves together.

"I should have an award for best actress," Kate boasted.

"Yup and I'm thankfully you ruined Davon's laptop before he saw my face. Also, you had to act innocent when my angel side of me appears," I replied.

"I had to take away his phone first and mess with it before putting it in one of his drawers. Your angel side is fine just kinda dumb sometimes, " Kate said.

"Well here's to us for being a successful criminal," I said.

We toasted our drinks and drank it all in one shot even thought it was only 7-up.
