LINCOLN THE FALLEN ORIGINAL

27. PROUD SMILE

Josh's POV

"Stop being hard so hard on yourself, Josh. It's not your mistake," Amy said to me. How can I not be, the killer was right under my nose all along but I didn't see it and not only that, I was stupid enough to believe her acts and also stupid enought not to consider Oliv's words about her just because I thought she was too beautiful to be a killer.

"You both don't understand, I let myself to be so dumb that I didn't see the truth right away," I scowled at them and  my foots just couldn't stop moving around for even second. Suddenly my back was slammed the against the museum wall, Oliv's hand was resting on my chest not letting me to get out of it. She looked at me with her quirky little silvered eyes.

"Look at me, I am gonna say this only once so, hear it properly. You're a  smart man, if it isn't for your brain we wouldn't have caught that killer by now," I nodded and she let go of me and added, "If it will make you any better let's go in and hear her side of the story."

"No..." I said, "We don't have to do that."

"Yes, we have and we are going to, atleast it will help us pass the time till night falls." Amy agreed with Oliv but not with me.

We went in. Victoria was still sleeping on the floor, resting, thanks to the bed Amy made out of whatever there was in the museum that had little resemblance of blanket, her wounds were completely healed by now which  would be a big head ache for doctors to find out  the reason behind the quick healing unless they have knowledge about vampire blood.

Speaking of doctor, My gaze went to the corner of the room where we tied the doctor come killer with her own chain and gagged her mouth with same ball like object she used on her victims. We three walked towards her, Amy removed the gag out of her mouth and she coughed breathing for air through her mouth.

"Do you feel it now, this is how all your victim must have felt, suffered." I said.

"You're making a mistake," she replied.

"We didn't," I said while looking over Victoria and then back at her.

"I didn't mean by her, I mean by me," she said.

"Sorry,  we are not here to believe your bullshit words," Amy bitted her words at her.

"I am not who you guys think I am," She said again.

"Noooo, you are exactly what we think you are. A sociopath and psychopathic bitch who hurt and kill innocent girls for the sole purpose of taking pleasure from seeing the fear all over their face whenever they look at you." I slammed my hand at the wall  just few inches next her head. She frowned but didn't say anything.

Oliv squeezed my shoulder to calm me down. If it was anyother situation it might have done what it could have done but now it didn't calm me down.
I looked back at the killer, I was suprised by the look on her face. She was crying, tears were flowing down on her cheeks not that I would let it have impact on me. I am not gonna be fooled again by the innocence mask that she has on her face.

"I didn't kill any of them," she sobbed. I didn't believe it even for second." I was just trying to untie that girl while you three come here," tears were still flowing down on her cheeks.

"Don't try to lie your way out of here, Just where I was standing you looked like you were gonna slice her with your axe." Amy scowled.

"No.....," she yelled. "Don't you dare say that, I was just trying to cut those chains of her hands and legs. That axe wasn't even mine to begin with."

"May be she is telling the truth," A small voice sounded inside my head which makes me think I was still being stupid to believe her words. And besides arguments that was going on inside my head, some part of me still wanted to take the chance, to believe her, to believe that I was right about her from the moment I met her.
