Possessed...

[Julia Lilith Potter]

After a few days…
“ Taxi ! “
Tears of rain weeping for a dead sun…
“ Where to? “
“ To the police department… “
Tricky innocence of ancient death…
Fooling, playing its game continuously…never to end…
“ Thanks, keep the change…”
Youth escapes…searching for a reason…
“ Can I help you, ma’am? “
“ Can you tell me where I can find the experts dealing with this case? “
A couple of papers written in dark ink…
“ Ah, yes… second floor, third door on the right… “
Steps…
Knocks…
“ Come in… “
A shy entry…
“ Excuse me… “
“ Ah, you’re miss… “
“ Call me Alicia, sir… “
“Alicia… Halestone case, am I right?”
“Yes, sir… I understood that you’re dealing with the case…”
“Yes, we are…”
“I…just wanted to know if you found out anything…”
“Miss… your boyfriend died under very suspicious circumstances. Our experts didn’t find any signs of beating to death or anything. We couldn’t take any blood samples… so he could’ve been killed through various ways.
Still, I must warn you… since in your statement you declared that you alone witnessed the death of your boyfriend, the police has enough evidence to arrest you… after an eventual hearing, you could stay in prison for at least 10 years…”
“But I…”
“We believe you, miss; but we’re just detectives.”
“…Thank you, sir…”
“Take care of yourself, ma’am…while you still can…”


She leaves the building, absolutely discouraged…
Suddenly…
“HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!”
“Officer…”
“You’re under arrest, miss… there will be a hearing in your case as soon as possible to state your punishment…”
“What…?!”
“Put her the cuffs on…”

…
“Now I’m just like him…”
Cold as ice…
Frightened and dizzy…
“What now?...”
Sealed into venomous eternity…
Poison and hate…
…And questions about past…
Present…
And future…

…
“Alright, everyone… we can now begin the hearing in the Halestone case… primary suspect and only witness, Alicia C. Preddle… prosecutor, you may start asking the questions…”
“Thank you, your honour…
Let’s see…
Do you swear to only say the truth?”
“I do…”
“OK, then…
Miss Preddle… do you know that your boyfriend was in jail a day before dying?”
“Yes… I visited him that day…”
“…And do you know that the second day, a huge hole was found in the wall of his cell, leading to freedom?”
“…All I know is that he came to me that night…”
“How did he come to you, miss Preddle?”
“…Through a window…”
“A window? You say he jumped through?”
“That’s what I think, I didn’t see him do it… the sound of the window breaking woke me up…”
“And what happened next?”
“I got out of my bed, opened the door and saw him…”
“What was he doing?”
“…Nothing special… just looking at me…”
“Did he say anything?”
“No… he fell on his knees… and stopped looking at me, as if he was guilty of something…”
“And?...”
“I went to him… I stood on my knees, too…”
“And you didn’t say a thing?”
“…I just heard him moaning and asking me to save him… afterwards, he fell onto my lap…”
“And that’s the way he died?”
“…And that’s the way he died…”
“…Miss Preddle… do you know if… anyone… visited him before or after being in jail?”
“I don’t know anything… I think I was the only one…”
“Your honour, I am out of questions…”
“Very well, then… Let’s wait for the gentlemen of the jury…”
…
“Miss Alicia Preddle… you were found g-…”
“WAIT!!!”
The hearing was rudely interrupted by a scream coming from a man at the bottom of the room…
“This woman’s innocent ! I killed Luke Halestone…”
