"Be grateful that you have something of a family," Harlow said.
-
"I am," Coraline said. "My uncle means a lot to me."
-
"What about your mother and father?" Harlow asked.
-
Coraline looked away, her finger tracing a scratch on the table. "That's kind of personal."
-
"Well you seem to be plunging into my personal life," Harlow said, not letting up. "If it helps, every person in my family is dead."
-
A defeated sigh escaped from Coraline and her gaze flickered over to a picture of her family on her wall. "We were a happy family once," she began quietly. "My father and my uncle fought often, but other than that, everything was perfect. And then..."
She blinked quickly to keep from crying. "...My brother died in an accident when he was only twelve. My father started drinking and he began to hit my mother and I. One day, he was so aggressive that he knocked my mother out. I thought that he killed her. So I took the sword from our fireplace and I-I stabbed him." -
Harlow listened without interrupting her. He set his hand on hers without saying anything. A sign of support
-
"I killed my father," Coraline said, her voice almost a whisper. "My mother disowned me after that, so I turned to the only person I could. He taught me, trained me, made me the person I am now."
-
"Well for such a rotten man he did a good job with you," Harlow said. He looked at her face. He couldn't remember the last time he had shown sorrow.
-
"That's why I can't believe he'd do anything bad," Coraline said, an earnest expression on her face. She felt like a little girl again, blindly believing everything he said because he was the only person who had loved her anymore. Not much had changed since then.
-
Harlow wasn't sure if he should tell her. Who her uncle had hired him to kill. Instead, he said, "People show their goodness to the people they care about. That doesn't mean they're a good person."
-
OH? :0))
"If you were talking about anyone else, I'd believe you," Coraline admitted. "But I'd have to see it for myself to believe it." -
(What?)
Harlow decided go tell her. "Your mother had a son. She was pregnant and didn't tell your father. Your uncle hired me to kill the two of them." -
Oh my))
Coraline blinked a few times, looking stunned. Her mother had been pregnant? The woman she had risked her life to save, the woman who had disowned her, was pregnant. "If I'm being honest, I don't know how to feel." -
"I'm guessing she hid it from your father so that he wouldn't find out," Harlow said. "And she wasn't far enough in for it to show that she was."
