"Your honor I would like to present myself Kainer, as Mr. Roux's representative. I would like to start by giving me the space to clearly represent my client on certain claims that were put in him concerning; mass murder, stalking or violation of privacy, violence, kidnapping and second degree murder. I would like to plea my client innocent of these charges on all accounts, except stalking and violation of privacy. These were claims made by his latest victim, Miss Allera. I would like to request that we have Miss Allera step on the witness stand and have her questioned about these claims your honor." The man stepped down and sat beside me.
I didn't think Venice would show up, after how we ended things last time. I don't think I had myself clear, let alone elaborate what I had meant. I wouldn't ridicule her for her mistakes. I did say when we first met, if you asked me a question I would tell you nothing but my absolute truth. I did. Despite that weight should have lifted off, why did I sense something was wrong, even if our time together was over, I knew still knew you inside and out. And I knew, I had made a mistake that day.
"Miss Allera please step forward." She got up and stepped forward. Her steps were slow and I couldn't see your face, I saw the back of your head as you extended your hand over the bible presented to you. You oathed to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I think this was the only opportunity I had to hear what you truly thought of me. I wouldn't have let you talk those fifteen minutes before, I couldn't I needed you to listen to me. All I ever did was listen to you, or so I had thought. Kianer stood and went towards the stand.
You...You looked horrible. It's only been five weeks, you're cheeks were hollow. Your eyes looked so lifeless. Your skin had paled so much, I could barely even recognize you. Suddenly, my hands clenched under my table, had I done that to you?
"Your honor thank you for letting e speak on this panel. I accept any questions that may come from my opposing representative." your voice too, where was that argumentative voice. Fuck, V, don't do this to me. I didn't like you speaking this way at all.
"Miss Allera first question please," Kainer began. " What was your relationship with Mr. Roux?"
"My relationship with him? Sir, I don't know." You shrugged your shoulders and gave him a small lifeless smile.
"Care to elaborate?"
"I had thought we had more of a closer intimate relationship and we had something. This was unknowing of what kind of person he actually was. I thought we had had something more than the forced friendship, I thought we had mutual feelings for each other." You didn't even acknowledge my presence even once and I understood you wouldn't to.
"Miss elaborate on forced friendship and what your relationship with Felicity here as well. Try to give as much context as possible for the court to evaluate."
"Felicity was like a sister to me. I knew fair well her brother worked in the store that Q worked in. I didn't know about him until her brother, Kalique suggested he help me with the stalker drawing problem. Days before that I started to get random sheets of paper around my room and home, blank. They had a signature below them but the art was activated by invisible ink, fire activated. Felicity by this time was close to Q. When I got more than suspicious about the matter, she and her brother had suggested since Q had more than enough knowledge on art we should work together. It seemed like child play at first, and the Jace, a boy we had an intimate relationship with was murdered. I had suspected I was being stalked for sure then, because the pictures looked like I had doe that activity a few minutes ago or hours ago. Of course something made me suspect Q, nothing I told him seemed to surprise him, but he knew exactly what to say or do so that we could get clues about the pictures sooner. I didn't care much until, we started getting intimate together. Small details he would even say gave him away and I wouldn't ask about it. Nobody around him had anything bad to say about him. That again, were another of my reasons. But I didn't come here to testify against him, I ad something to say if this is the last time I'm going to see you."
Fuck. What are you doing?
