Finding You Always

Time For Miracles

Chapter 168: Time for Miracles

Jenna took the blood sample from Mr. Branson and tried to ignore the way he was staring at her while she did. For someone that was supposedly in a relationship, his eyes certainly seemed to wander and in a creepy way.

"There...that should do it," she said, as he rolled his sleeve down.

"Thanks...so what kind of tests are you going to run on my blood?" he questioned. Now that seemed like a really odd question, but she supposed he was just curious, considering the condition of his daughter.

"Just the normal tests to make sure it's a viable sample, free of an anomalies and then we'll type match it against Lucy," she offered as an explanation. Nick stood up and started to remove his tie while her back was turned. He took both ends in his hands and prepared to eliminate another witch. This one did good, but to him, her power still came from evil and the world had to be cleansed of her.

"I'm afraid I can't let you run that sample against Lucy," he said. Her brow furrowed in confusion, but before she could turn around, she felt him behind her and choked, as he used the tie to begin choking her. She gasped for air and dug her nails into his hands, as he strangled her. He growled in frustration, as she drew blood, but he kept pulling tighter on the tie. She began to see spots in her vision and as she did, memories flooded her subconscious. The more air that left her the more clear it all became. She remembered...everything and exactly who Nick was. A tear slipped down her cheek, as she realized that she was remembering, because she was about to die. Until there was a noise outside the room, catching Nick's attention.

"Guess today is your lucky day," he growled, as he inhaled the scent of her hair

"I got to bang your brother...too bad I didn't get to screw you too, beautiful. I bet you're just as good," he hissed in her ear, before he pushed her into the wall. She gasped for air and crumpled to the floor, just as David rushed into the room. When he saw his daughter laying on the floor, he put his gun away and sank beside her, pulling her into his arms.

"Dr. Aeson..." he said, trying to rouse her. He was relieved to find that her breathing was still strong and she seemed to be just dazed, though he was livid to see the faint marks around her neck. Had he been just a few seconds later, he might have been too late, and that weighed heavily on his heart.

"Dear God...what happened?" Dr. Narita asked. David looked up though and knew the real identity of this man to be none other than his son-in-law, Paul.

"Have security seal off the exits and tell them they are looking for this man," David told him, as he showed him the photo on his phone. Dr. Narita was astonished to see that the man was the supposed father to the little girl he had been called to consult on. But he didn't hesitate and hurried out to inform security. David knew it was probably too late and he was gone. But his little girl was smart, even cursed, and he saw the blood and skin underneath her fingertips. That would be all the proof they needed to make Nick Branson a wanted man and then he wouldn't rest until he found him.

"Dr. Aeson..." he repeated, as she started to come around and looked up.

"Daddy..." she uttered and his eyes widened. He swallowed thickly, wondering if he dared to hope. Her eyes widened and she gasped, as her arms went around his neck.

"Daddy!" she cried and tears fell down his cheeks, as he hugged her fiercely and cradled her head.

"Oh Eva..." he cried.

"Daddy...it was Jack and he's with Leo!" she exclaimed.

"I know...and I'm going to get him, I promise," he said, as Snow rushed in.
