- MAIN BALLROOM
 "You listen to me, Judith
Linford," Corinne Campbell spat as she grabbed her by the arm and
spun her around, "You think I don't know about you? Well,
you're wrong! I know all about the type of woman you are!
You're a pathetic, miserable woman and you're not happy unless
everyone else is as miserable as you are! Well, I'm not going to
let you have Talbot! Do you hear me?"
Corinne grabbed Judith forcibly by the arms, pushing
her slightly backwards and causing the heel of Judith's shoe to catch
in a crease in the carpeting. Thrown slightly off balance,
Judith stumbled backwards and against the wall, but caught herself
before she could fall.
"You're headed for a fall, Judith! A big
fall!"
Just then, Judith's eyes grew wide with horror.
"I won't let you do this!" Janet
screamed as she began to shake violently. "I won't let
you ruin my life like you've always tried to ruin my life!"
"There's nothing you can do about it."
Janet's eyes began to burn with rage. All
of her life, Judith had tried to take away everything that had
mattered to her. She'd fought tooth and nail to make sure that
Gordon wouldn't love her and tried to convince him to stay with his
wife. She'd been the one to convince their father to send her
to the institution...a place Janet knew she didn't really belong.
Now, Judith was determined to take away the one man who could
finally make Janet truly happy. Well, Janet wouldn't let her!
Janet would fight her to the end. She would never let her have
Burt!
In an instant, Janet's rage began to boil over as
she balled her hands into fists. Keeping her eyes focused
firmly on Judith, Janet lunged at her. A stunned and horrified
Judith turned just in time to see Janet's face, twisted in anger and
fear, coming at her. Judith moved to the first step at the top
of the staircase in an attempt to move out of her way, but Janet
crashed into her, sending her precariously off balance.
As Judith's ankle turned, her foot slid from the
first step down onto the second step. Her weight shifting
dangerously, she reached for the banister but only succeeded into
completely losing her footing. As a terrified scream tore
from Judith's chest, she tumbled head over heels down the long
staircase until she landed in a crumpled heap at the bottom.
"Oh, my god," Judith gasped, her eyes wide
with horror and shock. "Oh, my god."
"What's the matter with you?" Corinne asked
full of discomfort. The mere look on Judith's face told Corinne
that something wasn't right. "Have you taken ill?
Or...or are you just faking it so you can garner some sympathy from my
husband?"
"Oh, my god," Judith muttered again, utterly
terrified by the myriad of thoughts and memories that were flooding
back to her. She dug her nails deeply into the wallpaper behind
her to steady herself as the color drained from her face and her legs
grew weak. "Oh, my god. I...I remember. I
remember."
Everything.
