The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 183~

Joanna's POV
Dory disappeared out through the door. Alex and I were just about to bury Kristina's body in the woods, when we realized she wasn't dead.

"Joanna.. please call 911", she begged.

"Ohh, look who's awake.. you know what? Maybe we'll bury you alive instead", I figured out.

"No, please! It's my biggest fear, I have claustrophobia", she told me.

"I know you have claustrophobia, that's why I'm doing it. So shut the fuck up and let me do what I do best", I hit her and she got unconscious again. Maybe even dead, I didn't know.

Alex and I made the hole in the ground, but I suddenly changed my mind and Alex took her to the hospital. I went to search for Dory.

Dory's POV
I ran and ran until I got to the train station. I ordered a ticked and then I took the first train to Cold Spring.

It was a lot of people on the train. Suddenly, I recognized someone I hoped I'd never see again. Joanna. She sat down next to a man, and started talking. I could hear her talking about me. He wanted him to find me. I got really scared, and locked myself into the bathroom. After a while, I went out of the bathroom. The train stopped, and I could see Joanna going off the train.

"What kind of person are you?", was the last thing she asked the man.

I knew I had to stay away from that man. Maybe even other people. I never knew who to trust.

After a while, I heard him talking to Joanna in the phone. She killed a man to scare him. To make him do as she said.

I was so afraid, and thought my life was over. I miss the time I was so attached to Alex and Joanna. I miss the time we were a family. I wish they didn't manipulate us at all.

Joanna's POV
I tried to get a man to find Dory for me. It wasn't easy. He never listened. I had a lot of people helping me, from the criminality group I was in. Even Emma helped me. She wanted to kill Dory for "stealing" her best friend. Emma went on the train and warned Michael MacCauley, the man I threatened, to know that we're watching him all the time, and that he should be careful. It was a plan to scare him so bad that he would do as I said. To find Dory.

I got Kristina home from the hospital the same day. She was fine. When she came back to the house, I tied her to a chair in the cellar.

"You monster", she said.

"I saved your life, be grateful", I said.

"You manipulated me!", she yelled.

"Shut up!", I slapped her in the face.

"You know what? You murdered people in your life. So if your beliefs are true, then you will go to hell after I kill you.. sad you're never able to see your parents ever again", I giggled.

"Where's Dory?", she asked.

"She's fine, unfortunately.. Michael MacCauley better succeed in finding her", I explained.

"Who's that?", she then asked.

"An old co-worker of Alex.. I found him on the train to Cold Spring, and if he doesn't find Dory then I kill kill his wife and son, so he better do it", I said.

Kristina started to cry.

"You really don't have empathy, do you?", she asked.

"I told you earlier.. it was a hint", I explained.

"Joanna? If you don't kill me, then I will join the damn group you're in.. and I will do literally anything you ask me to do", she told me.

"How do I know you're talking facts?", I asked.

"Test me.. just don't kill me.. you don't have to let me go, you can deny me my freedom forever if you want that.. and I'll do anything you say", she explained.

"I am killing you because you don't want to die.. then it won't work no matter what you say", I said.

"Okay then.. just kill me and then you might end up in jail.. or worse, death penalty", Kristina said.

I got a phone call from Dory.

"Woah Dory, I didn't think I would ever hear from you.. you're surrendering yourself?", I asked.

"I was actually calling to tell you Alex is dead", she explained.

"What? What are you saying? What do you mean he's dead?", I asked.

"The police killed him, they thought it was Michael", she said.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. I started to cry. But then I remembered that he slept with Dory and Kristina.

"You know what? So what he's dead.. Kristina, do you still want to do exactly as I say?", I asked.

She nodded.

"You know what? Just leave.. I'll let you go, but you better hope we never meet again", I cut the rope around her hands.

One day, I went on a chair to Chicago. I met Michael again. He arrested me. I wish I had the gun with me at that time, but I forgot it at home. He had gotten the job back, and he wasn't just a cop, but a captain. I was sentenced for a life time in prison. To this day I'm shocked I didn't get the death penalty after everything what I had done.
But I made a promise that one day I would get out of prison, and then nothing was going to stop me from getting what I wanted!
