"Dead? Who's dead? What happened? What's going on?" "I— I don't know, it's all my fault." She whimpered. "What's going on? You're scaring me." I held her shoulders. "I—I… Ava." She forced out. "Ava? What's wrong with her?" She wailed, shaking her head. "I don't know." "What happened to my baby? Where's she?!" I screamed. "Her— her room." She sobbed. I let go of her, dashing across the living room, sprinted up the stairs and to Ava's room. I was welcomed by blood flowing from Ava who was sprawled on the floor, with her hands above her head and legs in opposite directions. There was a stool below her. Her chest didn't seem to be rising and falling anymore. She looked lifeless. "Ava!" I screamed rushing to her and knelt beside her. Elora and a few more maids came running in.
