Chapter 134

“What did you do to her?” Jenson asks. I hadn’t even noticed he had woken and wondered how much he had heard.

“She begged me. Tried to tell me that the people upstairs were lying to me. Told me it was her home. That her parents had owned the house. It’s only when I look back, that I realise I didn’t see how ill she looked or how thin she was. I didn’t see the dark shadows under her eyes. All I saw was a ‘liar’ that Cassandra had described. And I believed her”

Mallory drops her head forward. “She didn’t even try to fight back. She was too weak.”

It is horrible, listening to what she is telling me. It also showed how much Neah hadn’t told me about her past. Or maybe it was one of those things that she had learned to block out.
