"Uncle..." she started in a feeble voice.
"Dammit it Valerie stop being foolish and just listen to me, i am your uncle, i want only the best for you in life. Look around and ask yourself why we are all here and why we look horrified?"

"Tell her." Phoebe ordered Belinda.
Belinda's squeaked out a callous laughter that sent chills down some of their arms.
