Thomas's body then slid down the wooden gate, and finally leaned back against the gate, tilted his head and landed on the ground, gradually losing its vitality.
James looked at Thomas, who had been killed by himself in anger, only to feel the chaos in his heart.
Thomas killed his father and was killed by him. Just before he died, he was told that he was probably his own father!
James felt that he was going to collapse. He didn't know what to do.
The flustered James can not help but think of his mother, which is the only family he has left now, and the only support in his heart. He instinctively wants to seek shelter from his mother when his spirit is on the verge of collapse.
But when he turned again and looked at his mother with a look of panic, helplessness and expectation, Elizabeth looked at him with a strange look of hate.
"What monster are you?"
Said Elizabeth, gnashing her teeth.
Although she pushed Thomas out of instinct and saved James, she didn't expect to kill Thomas. She knew it would be like this. She didn't know how to choose at that time.
In fact, Elizabeth's original relationship with James was not too deep.
Before James, Elizabeth and John hollett had a son, but they died unexpectedly shortly after James was born.
Elizabeth had been so obsessed with the death of her first son, John the younger, that she had neglected James and had little concern for him.
James has been very weak since he was young. He has a cold and fever when he can't move. He often has allergic symptoms.
Elizabeth had hardly taken care of him. When he was ill, Victor and John hollett took care of him most of the time.
So, in Elizabeth's mind, James's position is actually not that important.
Elizabeth's instinct is to stop Thomas from killing him, but if she chooses between a lover and a son who is not close and has claws like a monster, she will probably choose the former, otherwise she will not ignore James for so many years.
As for the relationship with Thomas, in fact, the two have been keeping the relationship of lovers for so many years. Until John hollett found the clue not long ago, he would not drive Thomas away. Thomas was not willing to be "broken up", and he would come to hollett's manor with a shotgun after getting drunk.
When Elizabeth heard Thomas knocking at the door and shouting her name, she didn't turn him away, but she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She was naked and came to open the door for him in her thin pajamas.
Of course, the reason why she opened the door was not that she wanted to go with him. She didn't want to leave the manor, give up the rich life, and follow Thomas to be a poor peasant woman.
She just wanted to appease Thomas, let him leave for a while, don't make a big deal, and then she could carry on cheating on John hollett's back.
But she didn't expect that Thomas could not hear him at all. She wanted to take her away. When John hollett appeared to stop him, she shot him dead.
Although she felt a little guilt and regret when John hollett was killed, but only for a moment, the deep feelings of her lover Thomas were far above John hollett and James.
It has to be said that Thomas and Elizabeth are really a couple of lovers. They are indifferent to their wives and husbands, and have no feelings for their own biological sons.
Elizabeth is indifferent to James, while Thomas is abusive to victor. When James reaches for him with his sharp claws, he raises the shotgun without hesitation. If Elizabeth didn't want him to continue killing, but pushed the barrel away, the bullet would surely hit James, just like he killed John hollett before!
Now, because of her obstruction, she saves her son who has become a "monster" from Thomas's gun, but lets her "lover" be killed by the "monster" son, which makes her heart full of hate for James.
In the face of his mother Elizabeth's hateful eyes and the question of "what monster are you", James felt that his last spiritual pillar collapsed and lost his last protection in the world. A sharp cold completely submerged him, and his fragile and incomparable spirit completely collapsed!
At this moment, he just wanted to escape from here, far away from all this!
He did, too. James was so barefooted, in his red pajamas, and rushed out of the open door, facing the cold wind of late autumn night, running to the distance with all his strength, and quickly disappeared into the night.
James experienced a short period of time when his adoptive father was shot by his biological father. He grew two pairs of bone claws on his hand and became a "monster". Then he killed his biological father with his own hands and was hated by his mother and so on.
This series of things let young James's fragile spirit completely collapse, he recklessly rushed into the night, in the dark aimlessly running in an unknown direction, his mind is blank, only one sentence in the mind constantly rings, away from here!James knew his real life experience. It was not John hollett's own son. Naturally, the manor was not his home. All his family members were killed or hated him. Overnight, he had become helpless in the world. That warm home was completely destroyed and could not go back!
Unable to bear the great changes and blows, James chose to escape. At the moment, he just wanted to be as far away from this sad place as possible.
As the manor is located at the foot of the Rockies, although the terrain is flat, there are many dense woods around.
Running in the night, James soon got into a forest, but he didn't stop at all. He stepped on the thick leaves and ran towards the deep forest.
But soon, a figure came up from behind him, and a swoop caught him and threw him to the ground.
James, who fell down, scrambled to his feet from the ground, turned quickly and raised his fist in front of his chest, shouting in panic.
"I don't want to kill him! I don't want to! "
And it was Victor, who chased him after he fled, who brought him down.
"You've killed him!"
Victor loudly interrupted James' instinctive explanation. He could not help but gasp for running hard to catch up with James. After gasping for breath, Victor looked into James' eyes and said seriously.
"He did it on his own, you didn't do it wrong!"
