Norma's POV

I woke up in total darkness I couldn't see a thing, how did I get here? Summer? my head? wait a minute I'm tied up..

"Hello!!!!! Can someone help me!!" I shouted desperately to try and get someone to hear me, my voice echoed down the large empty room "where am I" I began to panic Alex needed me savannah needed me.
"Shit shit shit shit" I began to wriggle to try and get my hands free which where tied to the chair "summer!!!?"

Shit.

Alex's POV

Norma's been missing for 3 day I haven't slept or eaten for that matter I am constantly on edge in case they find her. I'm exhausted over how much I'm worrying and I'm just not all here without her, she brings me sanity and when she isn't I'm not me.

*BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ*
"Hello?!" I answered quickly

"Alex this is officer parson"

"Oh, right" to my disappointment it wasn't Norma, who's phone I had tried a million times just to hear her voicemail, I never thought I'd miss someone this much it's painful.
"What can I help you with?"

"I was wondering if you could come down to the station so we can ask you a few questions about your wife?" My face raised

"Of course I'll be right over"
*call ended*

I grabbed savannah and stuck her in the car, she was sill in her Pyjamas "mommy would be so mad"

"Why sav"

"I'm still in my bed clothes" she frowned, I really didn't know how to do this without her.

"Your going to hang out with auntie Emma, I packed a pretty dress in your bag with bunny" she smiled

"I miss mommy"

"Me too" I looked at her sad face "mommy will be back soon"

"Promise?" She looked up

"I promise"

I picked up my cell phone and called Emma to make sure I could still drop off savannah
"Hey Emma"

"Alex you sound exhausted"

"Thank you, I am" I placed my hand on my face "Emma can I still bring sav over for a few hours? I need to go to the station"

"Of course"

"Thank you I'll be 15?"

"Sure, hey Alex" I stopped

"Yes?"

"She's coming back, she loves you both so much she wouldn't of done what my mom did I know that"  I sympathise with Emma; she will make an amazing mother one day

"I know Emma, thank you" I hung up the phone and started driving.
*call ended*

Norma's PoV

"HELLLLLOOOO" I screamed "HEEEEYYY IN HERE"

The lights flickered on, I closed my eyes in surprise,  and opened them slowly "hello?" I said softly

"You know this room is sound proof right" I looked up and stared

"Summer?....Help ?Help me?" I started to shake.

She grabbed my chair and held it still "you talk to much, even when I was living with you, I could never get a word in" She leant over and placed a gag mask around my mouth I screamed louder "it's a sound proof room, scream all you want no one will hear you"

I tried to talk but couldn't, savannah came over and pulled the gag from my mouth "what do you want from me, if it's money I've got money, Alex has money, you can have all of  it, just don't hurt me.....savannah can't grow up without a mom" I said with tears coming down my face "and Alex can't parent by himself they need me.........we won't tell the cops anything and you can leave and forget about this"

"I didn't do this for money silly.....I did this for Revenge, I want Alex to feel what I felt when  I kill you"

"What's that?" I asked sadly

"Sadness, darkness, I want him to feel what I felt when you killed and robbed Norman's  life"

"Norman?" I looked up at her as she stared at me angrily

"Yes Norman Bates" she slammed down a photo of him and her on the table in front of me "your son, Norma Louise Bates"

"He was dangerous, he wanted to hurt me, he was sick and I admitted him into pine view and it was the best thing I ever did" the tears where now streaming. 

..........

"Is your name even summer?"

"No... it's Layla field....and I'm 28 years old" I began to panick

"Oh my god, wow, wooow, you really fooled us, we loved you"

"You don't love anyone!!!" She was screaming louder and louder "your a heartless killer"

"Did he mention he tried to kill me? We had faulty gas taps that needed fixing and he turned them on to poison me, to poison both of us"

"You and Alex" she sat down on the other side of the table.

"No me and Norman....he wanted us to live together forever in a happy place, nothing came of it and I got hospitalised, they said I had carbon dioxide poisoning and I was on the brink of death,  I had no idea how, but it was him" I cried a little more looking at her

"Your a liar" she screamed

"No I'm not, I loved him, it killed me when he died and a piece of me will always be dead now, but I think of him every day I think "oh Norman would like that" or "oh that's Norman's favourite food" I never stop thinking about him about how much savannah looks like him, or how he never got to hold her, or meet her it breaks my heart summer....Layla whoever you are"

"then why did you kill him"

"He was pointing a knife at me, and I had a gun in my pocket that Alex had given me, he ran my way trying to kill me so I shot him 4 times, in the chest, he fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes, and no one cared but me, everyone was happy he was dead, that i killed this notorious murderer but he was still my son that I birthed and bathed and loved with all my heart, I really did" Layla was crying

"I met him at pine view"

"What?"

"I was a patient there, I am a patient there"
