Confused and tired of all the lies and secrets Cas came back home. He entered the house and walked into the kitchen, where Zoey was still sitting at the table. Her head lay on Daphne’s book; she had fallen asleep.
Cas tapped Zoey on the shoulder and she jumped up. She saw Cas leaning over her and she sat up. She rubbed her eyes. “I fell asleep” she said difficult. She yawned and stretched her arms. “How was your day? Alex wasn’t a pain in the ass?”
Cas shook his head.
“Is something wrong? You act a little strange” Zoey noted. She yawned again. “Well, of course, you must be starving. Daphne’s sleeping, but I could make you something”
“You don’t need to bother. I’m not that hungry” Cas said toneless.
“Well, I am and I don’t want to eat alone, so try to make some room in there” Zoey said.
“Why can’t you eat with your family?” Cas asked.
Zoey swallowed and blinked. “Ehm…well…things aren’t going very well between me and Gerard. That’s what you get when you leave your family for three months”
“Alright, I’ll eat with you” Cas gave in. “While you make the comida I will see how Daphne’s doing”
“Yeah, okay” Zoey said.
Cas walked upstairs to their bedroom and walked in. Daphne was lying still on the bed. Cas walked towards the bed. His face went pale and his eyes grew big when he saw the dark red stains on the sheets. He removed them and stepped backwards until his back hit the wardrobe.
There were long and deep cuts all across Daphne’s body and over her arms and her entire body was covered in blood.
