Truth and Accusations (2)

Mrs. Perkin raised her hands as if in surrender "Fine! Since you want to do it this way. I am going to the head warden's office to report you both. I am sure with my evidence, you two will rot in that cell and die!"

Perdita and Marco glanced at each other in dread and confusion. They both chorused, "What are you talking about? What evidence?"

Mrs. Perkin laughed sardonically at Perdita and Marco and replied "Did you both think I was making assumptions and was merely accusing you both without proof or evidence?"

Perdita's eyes narrowed and she quizzed in a low voice "What do you mean?"

The mockery smile that was on Mrs. Perkin's face slowly vanished and was replaced by a hard look on her face "You shouldn't be asking me what I mean. You should be on your knees begging for forgiveness for the horrible things you both did. But don't worry, when the villagers get to know about you two, I won't be the only one to be shamed. You two will be put to death!"
