403\u2013They Destroyed Her Character\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
I watched Ron attempt to get up and leave. However, she suddenly yelled, \u201cThat is not true,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room fell silent once again. Eyes shifted toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not what these cookies are used for,\u201d she remarked, looking drained, as if there were no tears left to cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThose cookies are used for shape\u2013shifting, and only some people from my tribe can do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she said that, I felt goosebumps cover my skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right,\u201d Mr. Robinson said, his hands clasped in front of him with a confident smirk. \u201cWhat do you mean by your tribe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am from a very small group,\u201d she replied. \u201cA tribe with very few members left. A tribe that can shape\u2013shift if they feed the person they want to change cookies mixed with their blood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she finished, I placed a hand on my chest, almost trying to feel my heartbeat to make sure I was still alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It reminded me of something. Baxter. Baxter had seen me speak badly about him. Those videos. That had not been me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That had been Yuvonne pretending to be me. It all made sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd may I ask if you have shape\u2013shifted?\u201d Mr. Robinson pressed. \u201cBecause magic of that kind is forbidden, Miss Yuvonne.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could tell that even Graham and Elgin had no idea the trial would take such a turn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She answered by lowering her head and staying silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds like an admission of guilt,\u201d he remarked. \u201cIn any case, this is not the matter before us today. However, I would like to ask you one more thing. Did you and your husband, Ron, plan the murder of Lady Riva?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The question landed heavily. Everyone turned their heads as Yuvonne began to shake hers in denial.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, that is not true,\u201d she insisted. \u201cWe did not. Ron would never do that. I would never do that to him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the first time she had responded clearly to any accusation directed at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d Mr. Robinson asked. \u201cBecause I have a text conversation between you and your mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he said that, we all knew he was about to pull out more evidence, and I was not ready for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The text appeared on the screen. It was a conversation between Yuvonne and her mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo your mother tells you that she should be the one to become the mother of the pack now because she is the mother of Luna,\u201d Mr. Robinson explained. \u201cHowever, she also states that the position is still held by Lady Riva. You then respond that you do not understand what she means. After that, she tells you that if Lady Riva dies, she would take the crown as the mother of the pack, since one of the parents of either an Alpha or a Luna gains that privilege.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, my head snapped toward Ron. His eyes were wide with shock as he stared at Yuvonne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I understand why it seems strange, but I never acted on it,\u201d Yvonne replied. \u201cMy mother did tell me that, but I never acted on it and I never agreed to it as well. And my mother was not serious either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She began to smile as she explained herself, looking around the court, but no one showed sympathy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d Mr. Robinson asked. \u201cBecause it seems that you two were the only ones who would benefit from this. My main question is this. How did you convince your husband to do it? Your mother mentioned in the text that you should be able to convince him, but how did you do that? Did you feed him cookies? Did you shape\u2013shift into someone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he questioned her, Yuvonne began shaking her hands, trying to prove her innocence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I did nothing. I swear,\u201d she cried. \u201cI was at the motel. I promise. I did not even go back home. The food was prepared much\u00a0<\/p>\n
mhotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
latet \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke through her tears, Lady Abigail lifted her nose in disgust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could tell that none of us expected the court hearing to go this far.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you did not do anything,\u201d Mr. Robinson suddenly remarked, taking her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yuvonne lifted her head, looking at him with hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause your husband did it,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe was the one who held the food. He had the poison bottle in his pocket, and he was the one who fed his grandmother the food, was he not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised his voice as Yuvonne turned to look at Ron.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ron slammed his hand on the table and stood up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is bullshit,\u201d he shouted. \u201cWhy would I do that? What do I have to do with Yuvonne\u2019s mother? Why would I want her to be crowned?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is because we do not know what these cookies are used for,\u201d Mr. Robinson muttered. \u201cYou could have been drugged by her into killing your grandmother. It is only her word that these cookies are used for shape\u2013shifting, yet she never explained who shape\u2013shifted into whom or what crimes were committed. It is safe to assume that our conclusion is correct. These cookies are poisonous, and they are used to control innocent people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Robinson spoke as if he had witnessed everything himself and was completely certain of Ron\u2019s guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
