Chapter 342: New member (2)
"I am ready to talk," Heidi said, sitting up. She had enough time to lay around and think about where she would go from here with Annalise. "Thank you for giving me time. Now that I know this, it all makes sense why you never seemed to understand what you could or couldn’t do. Some rules that a small child should know, you didn’t know."
"There are too many rules here I had to learn. Then all of you tend to bend those rules to your liking and it confuses me. I didn’t have much knowledge of what I shouldn’t do until I left home," Annalise answered.
"I thought you just like to give trouble and did things without thinking. I questioned why you were so relaxed around the Callahans and their guests. I also thought because you lived on a farm you wouldn’t have come across nobles to know how to act around them. Now I know. If anyone had been suspicious about you, would you have killed them?" Heidi asked. What if it was her to think something was suspicious about Annalise?
"Yes," Annalise gave an honest answer. "It was either me or that person to die so I would have saved myself. If it was someone I was close to during my time here, I would have hesitated. I’ve grown to care for some of you."
"Thank goodness I befriended you," Heidi said, touching her throat. "Sorry. I don’t think you would have stabbed or sliced my throat. Could you do it though?"
"I could if I wanted. My father let me train all my life so I could protect myself," Annalise revealed.
"So, some of the maids who were picking on you could have died if you were not in the mood?" Heidi asked, getting excited about this. She was starting to forget what was said about the border being dangerous.
"Yes. Do you remember Olivia-"
"You killed her!" Heidi exclaimed, clamping her hands over her mouth in case it was a secret no one else should know. What if Annalise had hidden the body and now she had made it known Annalise killed someone?
