10. Miss Harrell

                                    

                                          
When I get to the Blackwoods old cottage, I go straight to the cellar and find Liten's mother first. "Lilith." 
She looks up at me and grabs the bars, "Oh, Alorina-" her smile fades once she sees the anger in me. She speaks, "Alorina-" I interrupt her though, "Did you know your son and his father have been plotting against me?" I emphasize the most crucial parts. 
She looks to where I'm gonna assume Liten is at and she looks back at me speechless with her lips parted. "I did not know of such a thing Alorina-" 
"Save it...I have had enough of the Blackwell games...I'm sick and tired of the mind games your son and husband like to play on me..." I scoff at the last name I used for them. 
It does suit them better than Blackwood...and they hate it which makes me love it more. They won't be able to deceive me anymore...
Lilith speaks, in her now usual bitter tone, "You are not going to leave me and my boy in here are you?" I raise my head and smirk, "I should...but that will make me just as bad as you and your son and especially the man who just tried to take my purity and innocence...but jokes on me I suppose...it is already gone and he did not have to even unbuckle his trousers..." 
Lilith speaks, "Alorina...I did not know he was using Liten to get to you and I certainly would have done something to help you if I could and I am SO ASHAMED of my son for plotting against you..." She turns to glare at wherever Liten is and I speak, just to hurt him because I know this will..."Well you do not have to worry about me and Liten being friends or lovers like you always wanted...I will never forgive him for letting his father do what he did...and I will never be Liten's friend and he will certainly never get to see me look at him with the amount of love I hold for someone dear to me...I will hate him until he kills me like his father did to my mother...because that is all Liten will be good for...he is a murderer...it's in his blood." 
I continue, "And I will never be associated with your family with my own free will...I do not associate with pests..." 
Suddenly I see the anger in Lilith eyes and she screams at me, "You take that back Alorina Harrell...this is not you...you are a kind and brave hero but you are being too brave...it will get you killed a lot quicker..." 
I stare at her unfazed, "Well instead of screaming at me...maybe you should start screaming at the heavens to free your soul...because I will not be doing it..." 
I walk down the hall and up the stairs as Lilith screams, "You will not be happy this way Miss Harrell!" I scoff, "I do not want happiness Mrs. Blackwood...being happy got my parents murdered. I am simply getting my much deserved revenge...and your husband is first on my list...then you...and finally your son...because I trusted him and he broke my trust...and he will feel the same sadness and grieve watching you die as I did when I found out your husband killed my parents...and he kept it from me..." 
I walk up the steps and when I make it back to my cottage, Fleet speaks with a smile, "Hey! I got a deer for..." She trails off and her smile fades quickly, "Allie...what happened?" 
Nex emerges from the bathroom and he speaks, "Woah...what did I miss?" Fleet speaks, "Nothing...yet." I speak after a sigh, "If you would have just told me about courting, marriage, and heirs...I would not be this way now..." 
Fleet puts her knife down and takes her apron off, "Allie-" I yell abruptly, making Fleet and Nex both jump. "STOP SAYING THAT NAME! I DESPISE IT! YOU KNOW THIS SO WHY DO YOU KEEP USING IT!?" 
Fleet looks at me with slightly furrowed brows and pouty lips, "I apologize...I will not call you that anymore. In fact, I will sleep at the bar if you don't mind Nex, that way I can give Alorina...her space."
