Part 47

Simone wore a black suit, sat with a lot of people also in suits or dresses. On her left was Max, on her Right Elizabeth with her family. Behind her sat Charlie and Henry, along with Vanny, Vanessa and their moms. All the people were sat in front of a stage, where the police captain stood.

Officer Burk: Thank you all for coming. One month ago today the criminal known as The V Killer had been brought to his end. On that day, we were told to search the local lake and two days ago, we found a terrible scene. The V Killer had taken the lives of our own: Micheal Afton-

Simone feels Liz's grip tighten, along with hearing a whimper coming from who she could only assume to be Clara.

Officer Burk: Marcus Plyer-

She hears a more distant sob.

Officer Burk: Teddy Danniels-

She saw someone ahead of her lean their head onto someone elses.

Officer Burk: Sarah Lane-

And then came a closer, but still fain whimper. Simone felt herself lick her lips instinctivly.

Officer Burk: Gabriel Williams, Jeremy Davis, Susan Cambowl, Fritzgerald Ford-

Another whimper, another sob, more movement, more sounds.

Officer Burk: Sammy Emily-

He hears Henry and Charlie behind her both start crying.

Officer Burk: William Shelly.

Not a sound came from either Vanny, Vanessa, or their mothers. The officer keeps listing off names an Simone felt herself starting to sweat. How could she just sit here and listen like nothing had happened? Like she hadn't of done anything. Like she was just another victim. It felt... bad. But a good kind of bad. Like that feeling as a kid when you'd do something you we'ren't supposesed to do. Like she had snuck a cookie in before lunch. And a delicious cookie at that. She felt something leaning on her, looking to see it was Elizabeth. Simone wraps her arm around her, using her other hand to lightly stroke her hair.

Officer Burk: I promise you all that these innocent lives lost will not be in vain. The police force here will be doing everything in our power to make sure this never happens again.

Simone(thinking);... Shit.

If the cops were going to be on high alert she wouldn't have any way for getting human meat. Before she always had the emergency option of grave digging but now that was out of the question too. How was she supposed to keep herself fed now?

Officer Burk: Now, friends and family who whish to say something about the victims may take turns and speak their minds.

He says, walking off of the stage. Shortly after, William Afton stood up and walked over to the stage, climbing up the stairs and getting in front of the microphone.

William:... Hello everyone. Micheal was my son, and... Well... I wasn't expecting things to end like this, to say t-the least...

He let out a sigh.

William: We... hoped he had just run off... gone out with friends and just f-forgot to tell us... but... I guess fate would have it diffrently...

He stares blankly into the crowed. Simone couldn't help but feel offput by his stare.

William: Mike was a great kid... He...

There was another pause.

William:... I'm gonna miss him... I just hope his soul has found peace.

Simone(thinking): I hope it's in hell...

She kept lightly stroking Elizabeth's hair and watching William up on stage. There was a second where the two locked eyes.

William:... and...

he looks away from her.

William:... yeah... I dunno w-what else to say, heh...

He turns and slowly walked off of the stage.
