Alice shrugged, the realization setting in with what she'd said aloud causing her to start shaking again.
"I~ I killed my mom." She breathed her voice faltering. She blinked stupidly up at River, for some reason the tears had finally stopped.

Camilla had stalked forward, her usually smiling face blank, her body as stiff as stone. "Alice, what are you talking about? Mom isn't dead. You went to get the van, you said she was fine..." I-- I killed my mom. Alice's words kept repeating in her head. "What." Her bewildered word hung in the air for a few moments. "What are you talking about, you killed Mom?!"

Indigo screamed as River stopped lounging. (Plz ignore this spoof)

(My fingers have failed me.)

Now spasmodically shaking, Bleddyn's hacking evolved further into violent choking with every word spoken. She stumbled back until she found herself on her knees with unbearably tight lungs.
She was suffocating on something abstract- the undeniable brutal honesty that was present in every one of Alice's wavering words. With all other distractions abolished, Bleddyn easily sensed it and had no alibi to escape with.

"Alice, h-how could you? Why did you kill her? She was your mom!" Jessi said, on the verge of tears. She felt sick. Surely this was some kind of joke, right?

River's lungs seemed like they had stopped. No. Not Tayn. Alice wouldn't kill Tayn. Tayn isn't dead. She can't be. "What? Alice, you killed your mother? You killed Tayn?" The words weren't really measuring up.
Tayn couldn't be dead.
Her family needed her, Thomas did, and Camilla and Alice. "I know you, you wouldn't pull a trigger on Tayn."

Camilla had stalked forward, her usually smiling face blank, her body as stiff as stone. "Alice, what are you talking about? Mom isn't dead. You went to get the van, you said she was fine..."

Everyone seemed to be talking at once, all Alice could focus on was the awful wretching sounds Dyn was making. "She is dead. She," Alice paused and tried to remember what had happened. "She told me not to. And, and then, I didn't listen." Alice closed her eyes. "I never listen." She whispered. "And now she's gone."

"Start from the beginning. How did you kill her? What happened?" Jessi asked.

"No."
Camilla's voice sounded fake and faraway, lost in deep thoughts. Mom's alive. Mom's alive. Dad needs her. Alice needs her. I need her. Her mental pleading was all the kept her from breaking down into a crying heap.
A sudden picture popped into her mind, one of her mother smiling, and very much alive.
Then another. One of her mother laying on the floor, her body broken and... Useless. Dead.
She shivered, her mind clawing for the picture of Tayn alive, not deceased.
"No, no, no. You're lying."
Camilla stared into Alice's blank eyes that looked as though they were dead too. "Mom's alive." She whispered, before something broke deep within her and tears burst like an avalanche from her eyes.
'I killed my mom.' The same words kept coming back, filling her head like an annoying fly. Alice... Killed Mom. Accident? Purpose? Her thoughts seemed to freeze for a few moments. Doesn't matter. "You killed my mom. You just said you killed my mom. You killed my mom!"
My. Not our. My. For the second, it was as if Camilla had forgotten their shared parents.
Her hand balled into a fist at her side, before her arm slung up and back, before slashing forward with such force as it connected with Alice's nose that it sent the girl flying back.

"Start from the beginning. How did you kill her? What happened?" Jessi asked.

Alice frowned down at the shards of glass scattered across the floor, her stomach was hurting. "I went home to get the van, and, Mom...."

"No."

Alice stopped mid-sentence and looked up at Camilla her emotions were gone, she'd cried all she could.

"You killed my mom. You just said you killed my mom. You killed my mom!"
My. Not our. My. For the second, it was as if Camilla had forgotten their shared parents.
Her hand balled into a fist at her side, before her arm slung up and back, before slashing forward with such force as it connected with Alice's nose that it sent the girl flying back.

Alice crashed into the counter top and slumped down to the floor clutching her face, there was blood in her hands. She sat there and accepted everything Camilla had said. She was right. It was her fault. It was all her fault their family was broken.

She started talking again, even though she knew no one was going to listen. "He said he'd let her go. I, I trusted him. I should have known better. I, I should have stopped him. I could have stopped him."
