I assumed she could walk, and she was the killer. She is likely also crazy. I Think may Poe was as well. I had to memorize Telltale Heart and recite it for audience at school. He wrote some eerie ones. Was this the end of the story. It is good place to end it with the two dead bodies locked away in a secret room. But then her poor sister may go to jail for killing her.

    You have one more chapter to go that will wrap things up for the story. Thanks so much for the review and for following this weird story.

OMG! How the heck will they find them? I hope her sister knows the secret room. What a horrid thing to do! I'm glad you have written the next part already, I'm off to read it. Wonderful!! :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks for reading this story, Sandra. I am not a fan of psychological thrillers either and surprised myself when I started writing it. Have no idea where it came from and you can see it ended quickly, too. It's been fun but I had enough.

    Funny, I was just thinking about that myself. You should enter the contest. You'd win!

So she killed Peyton herself! Because he had fallen for Sharice? How did she get him into that little room? Is she really disabled, or can she really walk? So many questions - but I am totally amazed by your imagination! Well done.

    Thank you, Wendy! I'm not sure where in my mind this story was discovered from, but it certainly was a creepy one. Thank you for reading and for enjoying it.

So, she did kill Payton and now herself. Her sister did escape, didn't she? Has she always been crazy, or has it just taken over her mind as she learned she could walk, and Payton still didn't love her?

    It's been a gradual occurrence, but she still remained a crafty person, holding a grudge with her sister. Her walking was psychological, and she used it to her advantage.

This was glouriously bat shit crazy, excuse the language.
I hope we find a letter that explains when and how she got her legs back. If she ever lost them. Wonderful. If I had a six you would have got it. What a great wild and wicked mind you have. Karen

Wow, Fiona is really crazy! Wait, she can walk? Why has she been using that wheelchair all this time? I wasn't expecting that. There are so many twists in this story to keep your readers guessing. Well done! Carol

    Her walking was psychological and once she learned she could use it to her advantage, she did just that...plotting and scheming while Sharice waited on her and did all the work. Thanks so much for the review. Hope you enjoy the ending.

Well, well well, this is like a Stephen King novel, where those wonderful twists and turns come in the novel. This is indeed, a step in another direction, this is brilliant Carol, a real classic, beautifully done, blessings Roy

I loved how you ended this chapter, Carol, that was on a really chilling note. I could feel the rage emanating from Fiona in her dialogue and in her action and I thought this was really well done. I can't wait to read more.

    Fiona was definitely a bit of Edgar Poe and found how she could manipulate everyone with the wheelchair. Except for her love of Peyton and her misconceptions. Hope you enjoy the final chapter.

    Surprise! There will be one more chapter tomorrow to tie things up. Thanks for the generous thought on this chapter though. I appreciate it very much. You really thought it was that good? Most thought it was to creepy.
