'SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE ALOT OF THINGS. BUT DID SHE?'

She was tied to a chair, the beep ringing through the screen as the rapid sobs of the woman reached Lana's ears. Lana tried to keep it in but she couldn't. She just couldn't. But that wasn't all.

The man behind that woman was tied in the same manner. The two hands separately. The two feet separately. And the beep was there too. It was all about the beep.

The beep. And the beep. And the beep.

Lana saw it changing, as minutes passed without anything but the beeps. They were her companion. And the sobs.

Lana gazed at the woman again and even though her vision was blurred from the tears which were escaping from her eyes, she could see that she had given up the struggle.

Laine Wilson. Lana's Pseudo-Mother was sobbing hard. And her sobs were wrecking Lana's head too.

Why hadn't she thought about it?

Why hadn't she thought about once, atleast once tracing her false mother even though she meant nothing to her?

She should have, Lana thought now. She should have tried to go after her the way she had done for Maia. She should have.

Alas, she should have done a lot of things. But did she?

Seamus Black. The man tied right behind Laine Wilson was an all too familiar face after seeing Xavier's file so many time. Xavier's father, Lana knew. The one that Dean had used, to manipulate Xavier into doing all his dirty work.

They were both tied together, An impossible duo, facing the opposite sides of the room, the fronts of the chairs they were tied to were facing the opposite sides too. But the beeps were synchronized. Like they had been started at the very same second.

Lana was still taking time to analyse just as to how they had all ended up in this situation when Laine gave a small sob.

And she started speaking.

"I know you are watching this Lana. And I am sorry for what I am about to say next." Laine said and looked straight at the camera. In her pause, Lana could again here the loud beeps.

Laine continued.
"After your dad's funeral, I went back to our house. I wanted to move away from our town. I wanted to escape for some while. So I came back to Italy. I was grieving, I didn't know what to do. And I needed a distraction." She paused. "I am sorry Lana. I know I made a big mistake." She sobbed but continued. "I found him. Seamus. He was there for me. He made me forget for some while. Made me forget just how it was all my fault that Andrew died." She sobbed. "And I was happy. I was very very happy." She sobbed.

"And then one day, I was at his house when someone called up on the landline. I picked it up." She paused. "The person on the other end didn't wait. He dived into questioning if Seamus was doing his work or not. If I was under his spell already or not." She seethed.

"I got to know that he was all faking it. So I questioned him. Because though I loved your father alot Lana, Seamus made me happy. He really did. And when I asked him, he explained. We planned to run away. But just as we were about to reach our destination, that was actually the Oberain Mansion, they got us." She said.

"I know it's too much to ask of you after whatever I have put you through. But please. Please save us." And she stopped speaking, letting the sobs wrench through her.
