Wow, this has gotten very good! Not that it wasn't good before. But, wow. The two main characters from your last story, gone! That's emotion right there. It's wonderful!

Richard is such a ... a... AN IDIOT! Man, if he would have left Cliff alive, he would have seen him suffer! I'm sure Cliff'd rather be in Heaven with his wife than down here (even though he'll miss hids kids, obviously). But it was a good twist! =o

I got more! ^_^
Chapter Eleven: Talk With Carter
"Damn you Richard." I whispered. "First you take my mother...and now my father? THAT IS IT!" I fell onto my knees and slammed my fists down on the ground. I should have known Richard would come back for dad. I should have known!
"Mel...you should listen to Jon when he has something to tell you. He was just trying to say that he took you-" Brandon stopped in his tracks as he got close enough to see dad laying on the ground. "Da-dad..." he whispered. He ran over and dropped onto the ground beside me. He shook dads shoulder. "DAD! DAD, GET UP!" He knew he was gone...he just didn't want to believe it.
"Brandon. He isn't with us anymore. He's with mom." I breathed.
"How can you stay so calm!?" Brandon screamed as he burst into tears. "OUR DAD DIED, OUR MOM DIED...AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE!"
"I don't need to cry, to care." I said without emotion. I got up off the ground and glanced again at dad. "You bitch..." Brandon whispered. "The least you could do is show a little emotion for dad and mom." I slapped him across the face, without even thinking about what I was doing.
"Don't you...ever...call me that." I whispered. I spun on my heel and walked off the farm and into town. I could feel a lump forming in my throat as I walked to the church, but I swallowed and forced it back down. I entered the church and walked up to Carter, not glancing at the mayor which was sitting on a pew nearby. "Carter..." I started.
"Melanie, ah, hello there!" he said cheerfully. "Why are you so pale? Do you need to confess?"
"No, I need to arrange a funeral for two people."
"Wh-what?"
"A funeral for two people, Carter. Did you not hear me?" I said, starting to get angry. He laughed.
"Do you mean for two animals?" he corrected.
"No." I said simply. "People, Carter. For my mother and my father."
"Melanie...wh-what happened?" he asked shakily. He took ahold of my shoulders and started shaking me when I didn't answer. "Melanie! Where are your parents!?"
"Dead." I said. "Mother is laying at the bottom of the cliff and dad is laying in the field. I'd rather not talk about other details."
"But we need to know..."
"I. Don't. Want. To. Talk. About. It." I said slowly so I would scream at him. "I won't be attending the funeral. I-I just can't, Carter. Please have Harris bring the bodies here for the funeral. Brandon and Jon will come. I will make sure of that. But...I have other business to attend to."
"Umm...uh...o-okay." he said stiffly. "I will see you ar-around then, Melanie..." I waved and walked up the aisle and out the door. Anna passed me as she made her way to the square to gossip with Manna and Sasha. I followed and stopped to talk with them.
"Hey." I greeted, trying to sound happy. Carter always holds funerals two days after someone makes an appointment. "Melody and Cliff's funeral will be held 2 days from today. Please come, and pass on the news." I said quickly. Manna opened her mouth to say something but I ran off. I knew the piece of information would get through the whole town by tomorrow. I ran back to the farm and Brandon was still knelt beside dad, crying. I shook my head and went inside to see Jon watching tv.
"Mel, where is Brandon?" he asked. I didn't want to talk to him. "Mel...come on...you can atleast tell me where my friend is! It's not like we're having a conversation!" I sighed heavily.
"He's outside weeping over dads dead body." I chirped. I waited for a reaction.
"WH-WHAT!?"

Yeah...she is pretty tough about things like that. So am I. I just...can't cry. Even if I force myself to and think of all the sad things about people dying...I don't cry. Do you think I'm weird now for being so emotionless?
Well, I'm not as emotionless as her. Thats a good thing...
