Liz sat frozen."Your parents are dead",those words running through her head. She felt a cold chill on her body as she looked at the gun in front of her.she was about to reach for it. "Elizabeth!" she looked to the side of her and saw Mr king." Are you okay dear?. He asked placing his hand on hers. "my parents…"she looked up at Mr king with teary eyes.
"Did you just say my parents are d-e-a-d?" She swats his hand away and stands to her feet. Mr king nods and also stand to his feet. Josh felt his heart break as he looks up at liz.her eyes filled with tears,she was about to cry and he knew it. He was about to take her hand when- " that's impossible….I refuse to believe that…I just saw both my parents lastnight,and they were absolutely fine….I'm sorry,but I refuse to believe you Mr King."She said wiping the tears off her cheeks. Josh gives her his handkerchief." No thank you I'm okay."She looks down at him sitting on the chair. He locks eyes with her and stands to his feet. Her eyes still filled with tears.she looked so fragile.he felt his chest tightened when liz began to back away from the table. "Elizabeth my child please don't try to run,I only want to tell you the truth about yourself and who your real parents are."She stops and looks at him dumbfounded. "My parents are Ben and Nora Marcartney." There is no way they could be dead…now please let me leave…I…I want to go home to them." She said heading to the door but was stopped by Ace. "I know you are upset…but please just listen to what Mr king has to say."
He said leading her back to the table. "Let go off me…who the hell do you think you are?" she said as she bites his hand and runs to the door trying to open it but fails.it was locked but from the outside." No no no this can't be happening." She keeps on pounding for the door to open when Josh grabs her hand. "You need to stop… or you will hurt yourself lizzy." He pulls her to his chest. And wraps his hands around her.she tries to fight him off her. "No Let me go bean!" She cried. Immediately he removes his hands from around her and turns to look at his father and the others who stood there shocked. "Dad I can explain…I….I mean she…."
Before he could finish his sentence liz slaps him.
"I trusted you!" was all she said grabbing a gun and putting it towards her head.her hand on the trigger.
"Stop this" Mr King said walking forward. Liz began to back away "I'm warning you don't come any closer or I will shoot." she points the gun to them. Ace starts to walk closer to her but she pulls the trigger firing a shot at his feet. "Don't move…I'm not joking…nor am I in the mood for any games okay…I jus want to leave this place and go home…my parents must be worried about me." Ace stops and looks at Josh who just stands there and looks at her.he had never seen liz like this before. Compared to the first time she held a gun,a lot had changed this time Her hands weren't shaky anymore.she held the gun and pointed it like a professional. "Liz listen to me put the gun down." He he pleaded as he started to step closer to her. "You don't understand….why won't you let me go home.?" She began to back away once more. "No one is goin to hurt you we only want to tell you the truth…won't you jus listen to what we have to say." Ace added also stepping closer. "You may not like what you hear but it's he truth….believe me,even I was shocked when I learned the truth about what happened." Ace said looking at her.
She stops "what do you mean…what truth….and what does it have to do with you?" She asked still pointing the gun at them. "I will tell you everything if you sit and listen my dear." Mr King said as he stood in front of her. She looks over to Josh who also stops. "You can keep holding the gun if you want to its no problem….but just hear me out…please. "Mr King said walking to the door and entering a code.he then turns and walks back to his chair. "thats the code to unlock the door…it's open…if you want to leave then you can do so…no one will stop you.but it's your choice whether you want to know the truth about your family or not…it's all up to you my child."
He lights a ciggar.liz stood there silently and looks at Josh. "You know don't you?...everything I'm about to hear….you already know the truth about it." She questioned lowering the gun. Josh walked closer to her . "I was goin to tell you…I wanted to…but- "
He looked over at Ace, liz also did following his eyes also looking at Ace who stood there silently. "but what bean?" She raised her voice. "I thought-
"I'm the one who told him not to tell you anything." Ace yelled at liz "I told him to never tell you the truth until your ready to hear it."
He finished looking at the floor.liz didn't know what was goin on anymore.she was confused. *what truth were they talking about and why would they say her parents are dead?*She had to know,more like wanted to. "You're the one?" She asked looking at Ace."You don't know me….what makes you think you know anything about me?" She raises her voice back at Ace. "I've never seen you before in my life…so how do you know so much abo-
"I'm your big brother …that's how I know so much about you!" he said. "what....what did you say?" Liz asked dropping the gun on the floor.
"M-y ….b-r-o-t-h-e-r"! A tear fell from her eye.
"I don't have any brothers or sisters…I'm an only child." She cried. Josh knelt beside her and wiped her tears but they just flowing.""it's the truth my angel…Ace is your big brother…we only found out a few months ago….my dad told us everything.i had no idea that you were his sister….I'm sorry I kept it from you."
Liz sighs,looks at Josh and stands to her feet.she looks at Ace who was standing next to Mr king.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry for my outburst and also for almost shooting you Ace….I want to know….I want to know the truth…please tell me everything!"
