As she stands there waiting for anything to happen she feels the cold
stare of the ebony, black bird of torture on her. She refuses to
look up. It will come if she is patient. If she is patient then the
light will come. Won’t it?

"I did it…why won’t you let me go home…" she croaks out into the cold
air.

"It isn’t done." The bird answers.

"Then why the ***** did you let me come back here and wait for
her?!?!?!" she screams out at the bird.

"I am only here to observe, occasionally guide you, but never tell
you when it is done. You will feel it when you are done."

"I have avenged her…I killed them all!!!!" she yells out to the
sky, "I’ve murdered in the name of revenge…what more do you want?!!!"

"You killed for love, too you know." The crow offers.

"Love?" she hisses out, "What is that?!! I am so covered in their
blood now can I even be worthy of it anymore?!" she runs her hand
over Maggie’s tombstone gently.

"Were you worthy of it then?" the bird asks.

"I…I don’t know." She falls to her knees placing her head against
the tombstone. She takes a deep and needless breath, "Not enough. Not
yet, but I don’t know what I am supposed to do? Can’t someone help
me?" she sighs out trembling.

"I think maybe I can." Anna’s voice carries to her ears.

"Chief Devane. Shouldn’t you be getting ready for the Crystal
Ball?" Bianca pushes herself to her feet.

"I will, but first I think I know why you are still here. You have
to get them all don’t you?" she throws out not really wanting or
needing the answer.

"Do you really think you need to be involved in this?" Bianca *****
her head at her.

"I think if I could have gotten the ring leader from the start you
might not have had to come back." Anna drops her head.

"Anna, it wouldn’t have mattered. If they had been in prison, I just
would have had it easier getting to them. You have nothing to be
guilty of. I am the guilty one for not living my life with more
thought….for not being able to let go."

"Well, I can’t argue with you…I’ll lose, but I don’t agree." Anna
puts her hands into her pockets, "I think I know who is left."
