Mitsuhide and Deanna sat on the patio as Kit and Max went inside with the children to settle them down for a nap. With nine children in the house it was more than a headache but they wanted to give the two a chance to really talk. Max knew that Deanna needed someone to get everything out to besides him. She was handling the anger better than she had been a few months ago when everything had exploded in front of her.“So why didn’t you really sell the house?” he asked as his piercing eyes looked at her. Whereas as Max’s golden eyes were kind and often something that she could get lost in. Mitsuhide’s yellow golden eyes were haunting. They looked like they could see right through you at any given time. It was easy to see how he could get the answers from people when he wanted to get them.“I couldn’t.” Deann

  The group was quiet for a few minutes. Deanna was thinking and trying to remember anything that could help them figure out what she had walked into and the place that the horrors of the website Mitsuhide had found and where it was located. She couldn’t remember how she had got there in the first place. She tried to think but every time it seemed blocked.The thing that she kept thinking about was the maze in the garden. She didn’t know why she kept going back to there in her mind. It didn’t make any sense. Now she knew what the maze really was as well as the garden itself. It had been a place for her grandfather to spread the remains of his children in the name of saving Deanna from the curse of her birth. Deanna hadn’t gone into the garden since she had found out it was nothing more than a glorified graveyard for sacrificed children.

 Max followed Deanna into the house. She knew the triplets would be waking up soon and wanted to be ready when they did. The two sets of twins were in the living room sharing a crib each. She smiled at them. “They all look like Mitsuhide except this one.” Deanna said as he pointed out Mason.“Surprisingly he looks like Kit.” Max chuckled.“It is hilarious that he does.” Mitsuhide said as he followed in the door. “That was the first clue as to who the person was responsible.” He looked at Deanna. “The night we found out and I was called into the center to be questioned Kit had one of her friends called in and they did and ultrasound of June. We saw their faces that night. They looked the same when they were born. That is also how we found out the next set was identical. But that night started the questions for both of us and only one

  Max watched his tiny wife as he drove knowing the van behind was following to the same spot of hell. She had gone quiet knowing there was something else to find at the house. She had begun to hate the house for everything that she was. That was hard because she knew the house wasn’t at fault for the actions of her parents and siblings. It was them who was responsible for that. The house was just a symbol of the horror that they brought forth to the world.Deanna was trying to remember something good to keep her mind from going into the place she really didn’t want to go. She had dealt with everything so well on the surface of the storm that people were amazed with her strength. She had been good at hiding herself and her feelings from everyone and even to a point Max. She understood why Max had called these two in to help. She liked them both. They were open and hon

 They started to back out of the Maze when they heard the trapdoor open. “Get her out of here.” Max said to Mitsuhide and the two started to run as fast as she could go. Which wasn’t that fast.Deanna turned to Mitsuhide and said, “Go help him. I am fine.”“Not on your life, Deanna. This was my job from the start. I will take the cops back when they get here and both of us can have back up.” Mitsuhide said as he moved her to the circle of children and stood in front of her. Though it had never been said he knew his job was getting her through the next part. Which ever way it worked out.Mitsuhide and Kit shared a glance. Kit got up and went over to Deanna. Kit helped her sit. “It will be fine.” Kit said as she held her hand.“Nothing about my family is fine.” Deanna said.
