I really hope this isn't a mistake coming here.
We all pull up at her house.
"So what's are story exactly?" Eli asks me
"I'm writing a paper and you guys are my assistants" I shrug
"Let's do this" Mary says opening her door
We walk up to her door but no one rings the door bell.
"Someone should ring the doorbell" Eli says looking uncomfortable
"Yeah someone should" Mary agrees but doesn't move
I slowly put my hand up and ring the doorbell.
"I guess nobody's home" Eli shrugs and starts walking back to the car but Mary grabs his shirt to holding him in place
The door opens to reveal a old lady she almost looks sweet if you didn't know exactly what she's capable of.
"Miss Watson?" I ask trying to act like I'm not scared
"Are you the kids from the paper?" She asks
"That's us" I smile a fake smile
She smirks"come in come in" she opens the door for us
We walk in one by one.
"Let's sit" she gestures the couch
We all sit down.
"Ask away" she smiles sweetly
"Okay umm how long have you been fostering kids?" I start off
"About 40 years" she nods
And how many have you killed?
"You must love children" I smile sarcastically
"Adore them" she says with a tight smile
"Are you married?"
"No not anymore" she says I gulp I wonder if she killed him
"Do you keep in touch with any of your old foster kids?"
"No no they have there own life" I notice her smiles never reach her eyes and her smile is always fake I know because I've mastered the fake smile
"Let's talk about your time at the cane house" I ask
"Well I had already fostered a couple of kids there before Lily and Blake" she says
"Do you mean Lucy and Luke?"
"O yes so many children" she laughs she can't even remember the name of the boy she murdered
"They were older so they thought they could talk how ever they wanted to me and treat me like I was nothing to them" she says trying to cry which makes me want to roll my eyes "I tried to love them and give them everything they needed but it was never enough for them. This wasn't my first time a couple of my foster kids had run away" she says i can see she's trying not to smirk and by runaway you mean you killed them?
"Tell me about that night?" I ask her
"It was late the girl uh Lucy she had came home and I could tell she wanted to pick a fight but I tried to calm her down. Then the boy came home Luke he was in his usual grumpy mood and the siblings started fighting. He kept punching her I tried to get him off of her but he pushed me" she says the last part with a snarl "he had a knife on him and stabbed her, I pushed him and grab the knife and accidentally stabbing him I felt so bad" I try my best not to glare at her " he went back to beating up his sister but tripped and fell down the stairs, it's horrible really" I see her try not to smile again
"I'm so sorry that happened" I say with a tight smile
I look around to see if I see that little girl but it's quiet.
"Um Katie why don't you take some pictures for the paper" I say to Mary
"Sure" Mary says uneasy
"Do you mind if I use the restroom?" I say to miss Watson
"Sure" she says "okay let's get me from my left angle" she starts telling Mary
I get up and head up stairs and start opening door but nothing .
I try to open the last door at the end of the hallway but it's locked, I grab a Bobby pin out of my hair and try to pick the lock, I had learned how to at the mental hospital.
Finally it opens there's nothing in here but a small mattress on the floor, I look over in the corner is a small little girl curdled up.
"Hi" I say softly
She lifts her head up I can tell she's scared.
"I'm not going to hurt you" I walk closer to her
I see her look at the door probably waiting for miss Watson to bust in.
"I'm Jess. What's your name?" I bend down in front of her
"S-Sophie" she stutters
"Nice to meet you" I smile, she gives me a small smile
"Is she hurting you" I whisper "you can tell me. I won't tell"
She nods.
I try not to cry, she looks so scared.
"Do you want me to help get you out of this place?" I ask
"Yes" she says with tears in her eyes
"Just hold on i will figure out a way to save you" I give her another smile
She waves goodbye .
I lock the door back and go downstairs to the living room.
