Future Mrs. Robertson

Twenty Five

Alex

After receiving Gigi's message, I had to wait til she gave me the go ahead to head over there. I haven't told anyone at home cause I knew they would want to rush over there and get the cops involved, which would mess with Dragon's plan. The deal was that he helps locating my sister and he has Ben to himself which by the way seems like a better option than having that bitch in prison, where he'll be well fed.

Him being in Dragon's care is much better because I know for sure that his whole life will crumble before his eyes. Dragon believes in an eye for an eye motion. He gives back what you gave but a thousand times worse, His like a living karma, never misses a person. He knows exactly where to break a person. Not only physically but psychologically also.

As I was waiting for a go ahead text, I looked at everyone. Leah had this closed off demeanor, She acts strong but for some reason if you stare in her soul you'll see that everything Emma say hurts her. Emma doesn't even acknowledge her as a mother, she blames her for everything wrong that's had happened to her. I've seen Leah cry since she's been staying over here but quickly wipes her tears when someone approachs.

Hope has been a walking zombie. She literally wakes up, shower and then stay in the lounge without saying a word to anyone. It's like she's in her own world. She has lost a lot of weight. Emma has to literally force her to eat which by the end of the day makes no difference because immediately after eating Hope would rush to the bathroom and throw up. She can't seem to stomach anything but water that's how Faith's disappearance affected her.

Kate has also been in her world and the only thing that seems to bring her back is Angel. She would spend most of her time sitting beside Angel's crib. She would sit whole night. A part of me believes that in her head she's protecting Angel from any harm that may occur. I know for sure she blames herself for all this and somehow Angel is the only person she has not disappointed and she would prefer to keep it like that.

Emma is a whole different story. She's on autopilot. She seems to be holding everything well, She's trying to take care of everyone but herself. She is more like a headless chicken running around. The only problem is that while taking care of everyone but herself can be exhausting, all her anger towards this whole situation gets thrown to Leah who seems to be taking it regardless.

And then there's me. I just feel a lot of things at once. I'm conflicted with thoughts and definitely confused. I feel like I'm carrying this dark cloud over me and it affects everyone who dares to come close to me. Nothing ever comes out of having me around. Everything that's associated with me crubles down. It only took me weeks since my stay here before it got ruined.

Finally Gigi's message came through. As anxious as I was, I couldn't wait til everything went back to normal.

Me : They found Faith.

I announced. Everyone took time registering what I said before dropping everything they were doing and rushing to me with questions. Gigi said shd called an ambulance before they left the scene with Ben.

Me : Apparently she was right under our nose. Closer than we would have thought. She has been lock in a basement right next door. They say Ben confessed to owning the house and renting it off to the family that stays there.

No one said anything as they rushed outside. Leah stopped at the door and turned back. I looked at her with a confused look, now it was only us in the house.

Me : Why are you stopping? Let's go get Faith.

Her : Uhm..I'll pass on that Alex. I have done what Emma wanted me to do. I don't think she'll appreciate my presence any longer. I don't wanna over stay my welcome.

Me : But without you, this wouldn't have been possible. We would have not been able to locate Faith. You deserve to meet your granddaughter.

Her : I wish it was that easy Alex but it isn't. Emma is not the forgiving type.

Me : That's only because she doesn't know the whole truth. I can't force you to stay but you need to tell Emma the truth. You owe her that much.

She watched me with wide eyes as shock was written all over her face. I didn't wait for any longer as I rushed over the scene.

I was met with a crying Kate and Emma fighting with the paramedics. Hope was just frozen watching the ambulance. I looked in the ambulance only to be met with a very scared Faith. She was sitting hugging her knees over her chest with a blanket placed over her shoulders.

"Mem please stop fighting us and let us help your daughter. You scaring her more. Just follow us as we head to the hospital"

Kate

We have been in the waiting room for over an hour now. No one has updated us yet. Everyone seem anxious. Emma can't even seat still as she questions every nurse that comes out of the direction Faith was taken.

When we got where Faith was being held, we only got there when she was being lead to the ambulance. Ben was nowhere in sight. I need to kill that bastard or he will continue to torment my family.

My thoughts got disturbed as I saw doctor making her way towards us. We all stood up and met her half way.

Doc : Hello, My name is Dr Steph. I'm the one treating your daughter and so far the only bruises she has on her body seem to be healing well. It doesn't show like she has sustained more beatings lately but my main concern is her private part. It seems like she was roughly penetrated from the first time it happened.

Me : No! No! No! She can't be raped. Please Em make it stop. My daughter can't be raped.

I say as I cry. Em pulls me in her arms trying to calm me down.

Em : Can we see her?

Doc : Yes follow me but please understand that she is no longer the daughter you know.

We all made our way to Faith's room. Upon entering we were met with a very confused looking Faith. We rushed over her bed and hugged her tight.

Faith : Who are you? The doctor came forward.

Doc : Faith this is your family.

Faith : Who is Faith?

The doctor seemed to be just as puzzled as the rest of us.

Doc : Mind telling me your Name?

Faith : I'm Kate Oogle.

The room went silent even a pin being dropped could be heard.

Em : What!? What is going on Doc?

Doc : Your daughter her seems to have created a world of her own where she is Kate. I believe she did it as a coping mechanism. Her brain took in this information and made it her reality. Right now Faith is a distant thought on her head.

Doc : Okay Kate do you know where you are?

Faith : Where is my husband? You need to take me home or he will be angry.

The nurse came in and handed a file to the doc. The doctor read it for a while and her face expression changed. She looked at us.

Doc : Unfortunately your daughter is three months pregnant. I would give you the option of aborting but it can be risky for your daughter as she is this far long. She could lose her life in the process. We were all quiet processing the news.

Me : How quick can you get started on the abortion?

Em : Come on Kate, we can't do this. You heard the doc, we could lose our daughter forever.

Me : It's not for her. It's for me.
I said it in almost a whisper as I faced down.

Em : What?
