Scott signed and then stood up.
“Are you ready to see your dad?” I smiled at walked in front of him.... I breathed deep and then looked back at him.... My smile faded away. Nick was behind Scott with the gun to his head.
The look in their eyes said run.
Scott's was for my life. Nick's was for play.
I stepped back and sated down.
“What are you doing?”
“I'm not running. I'm sick of it.”
“You need to run Nora.”
Nick laughed. “Yes Nora run. It was makes it fun for me.” He walked over to me. Nick was at my side.
“Looked me in the eye Nora.”
“Why?”
He grabbed my chin and tried to get me to look him in the eye. “I said look at me.”
“And I said why.”
“Fine just so you don't see this.”
Two shoots sounded and Scott hit the ground just like that. His eyes were looking at look me. I started crying. I tried moving too him but Nick knocked me back on my back making me lose breath. I told you to look me in the eye. Water ran down my face I couldn’t move for some reason. It wasn’t tell he moved on top of me that I know why. He pulled out a knife and went to work on my arm. I cried out in pain. He laughed as he moved the knife around my skin. “You know his died because of you.” He whispered in my ear. I tried moving away from him but he was stronger than me or anyone for that fact. At this point I was better die, then to have him on me cutting me open.
“What about Louise? Huh Nick? I thought you couldn’t touch me.” He stopped and looked at me.
He pulled me up to his face. “Louise.” He cut deeper. “Never.” Turned the knife to the left. “Said.” Then to the right. “A.” smiling. “Word. About. Cutting. Into. YOU!” He said to a point I could barely hear. He leaned down a kissed my arm where he cut at. The moment his lips brushed my skin something happen. I don’t know what is was but it felt good and bad at the same time. I didn’t feel pain but then it hit hard and I couldn’t breathe. He moved the knife up to my neck.
“Now.” He whispered slowly. “Get up.”
I still couldn't breathe.
“Get the f**k UP. Now!”
I looked down at my arm and saw nothing but the red marks of the knife. I looked back at Nick.
“What the-?” “You-.”
He smiled as he got up. “You will learn what I did, no one but you and I will know about it. Not even Louise. You see if you were to talk someone about it, well then they will think you’re crazy and lock you up. And when that day comes then Louise will go find you and kidnap you again. That is if you are smart.”
As I stood up I thought that if I run then I could make it to the top.
“What did you do to my arm?”
“It’s a tracking.” He said then added. “Come on now, your needed at the house.”
I smiled at Nick and then ran as faster as I could.
“Damn it.” I looked behind me to see that he was running after me and fast to. I could hear the helicopter but couldn’t see is. I was already running at my top speed and couldn’t run any faster. Nick was right behind me. I looked at the top of the hill to see the copter.
The helicopter wasn't even on the ground when I saw men after men jumping out and running to me. Or around me. Stopping and taking each step one at a time I saw my dad hop out. Dad! I yelled at started running up to him. He looked so different from when I last saw him. His hair wasn't a brown-ash blond but a grayish brown now. He had so many circles under his blue eyes.
“I told you I would come to you my child.”
“Where's Scott?”
“He...he... dad.”
“It okay. It’s okay.”
In the helicopter I hugged him more than ever, not wanting to let him go.
