Chapter Nine
Taffy was crying in the Transport as they left for the funeral. Maranda sat in the back seat next to Taffy and Grady was trying everything to comfort her. Finally, Maranda sighed heavily and said, âTaffy, do you not think my parents deserved to die?â Taffy turned to Maranda with red eyes and Maranda continued, âThey murdered scores of their competitors and ruined the lives of countless others.â
Taffy wiped her eyes and looked at Maranda, âBut Iâve caused you to lose your family.â
Maranda lowered her eyes, âSo all this sorrow is for me and not for my parents?â
Taffy stared at her in silence and then nodded, âYes, I guess it is.â
Maranda sighed, âI donât deserve your tears, Taffy. Iâm just as guilty as they are. I deserve what happened and quite frankly, you were right when you once told me that I would spend my live without love if I continued my ways. I didnât love my parents, other than a sense of loyalty because they were family, and I know for a fact they didnât love me. I was just a tool to help them grow their wealth. Iâm struggling to feel something for their loss and I just canât do it. Iâm ashamed of what theyâve done and Iâm angry at being so stupid to try and be like them.â Maranda paused and exhaled slowly. Taffy was staring into Marandaâs eyes as she continued, âI suspect if they didnât kill themselves they would have been hounding me constantly to make you pay for what you did to them. I might have eventually been forced to kill them myself. You have no reason to cry one tear for them or me. I do believe the best thing happened and two ugly people will no longer harm others around them.â Maranda turned to Grady, âYou kept your promise not to harm them. There was no way you could prevent them from harming each other. Neither of you have anything to feel bad about.â
Taffy had stopped crying and she said softly, âBut you donât have a family; youâre alone.â
Maranda snorted, âMy father and mother had brothers and sisters that they refused to have anything to do with. My father called them scavengers and had court orders placed to insure they stayed away. After some time has passed, Iâll contact them and try to repair the relationships. They are good people and Iâll not be completely alone.â Maranda paused and said, âBesides, do you think my parents would be good to have around?â
Taffy sat up straighter, âDo you mean this, Maranda?â
âThe last time I saw my father I walked away disgusted. I saw him for the first time for who he really was, and it sickened me. Immediately sending his pack of assassins after you pretty much sealed my decision to stay away from them as much as possible. I left them early and came back to stay with you. Iâm serious about all Iâve told you. Your sorrow for me means more than anything my parents ever showed me.
