Beautiful Apparation (Tony Perry FF)

fifty-nine

last chapter :(

Tony left on his journey once again. I have no idea where he's checked. He let me know a little bit more on his search. He thinks he's close. Supposedly, he's found evidence that his father is out there, somewhere in the in between. I wish I could help him. That'd mean death, and hopefully I don't have to be faced with that for a long time.

If this was Twilight, it'd be a whole different story. By now I'd probably have already tried to sacrifice myself, to be with my one true love.

"Are you okay?" Lynn asks suddenly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just wish I could help out Tony."

"I'm with you on that one. Anyway, where do you want me to put this?" Lynn asks raising up a couple plates.

"There's a box that says 'Kitchen' on it in the living room. If you could put it there, that'd be awesome."

She goes into the living room as I tied all my utensils together with a rubber band. Suddenly, the shatter of glass scares me. Immediately, I run into the living room.

You know that feeling of complete and utter fear? It just eats you alive, spreading faster than any other disease. Your heart rate increases. There's nothing you can do about it either, not until that awful thing disappears. Sometimes, it won't leave, no matter how hard you try...

Looking at Lynn being held by Kyle, a knife promptly held against her throat struck the most fear in me. There's no blood streaming, that was the only thing keeping me sane.

"Kyle," I say cautiously. Anything could set him off, I know it. "What are you doing? Can't you see that I'm giving you exactly what you want? I'll be out of here in a week. I swear. Give me more-"

"Shut up Audrey," He growls. His eyes are pitch black. "Tony exposed your guys' little plan. You didn't think it'd go unpunished, did you?"

"What are you talking about, what plan?" I remain calm. I try to avoid eye contact with Lynn. That'd only make it harder to speak, so I stare at Kyle as if my life depends on it.

There's a touch on my shoulder, I know it's Tony. Another reason to remain calm. He'd be able to back me up.

"Take me," Tony says. "Don't hurt Lynn. Let her go, and I'll disappear with you. You hate me and your sister together. The only way it's going to stop is if you keep a close eye on me. Just take me. We can go right now."

I tried to keep my mouth shut. Tony couldn't leave, I was supposed to be leaving. Kyle's facial expression remained angry.

"No deal," He snarls.

"Kyle," I begin. "Do you really want to do this?"

"No, but you made me!" He shouts gripping Lynn tighter. "You were always the favorite. No one ever thought of you as a bad kid. I was the burden being dragged along. I got sick of it. Greg did me a favor by shooting me in the head. He put me out of my misery, dragged me out of that shadow of yours."

I was speechless for the moment, but knew I had to say something before it got worse. "You can change!"

"It's already too late Audrey! Don't you get it?"

"No it's not," I argue. "You can start by putting that knife down. We can repair our relationship."

"We never had one," He smirks. "I don't want to start one either. I might have been pretty fucked up, but you on the other hand is just, wow. I thought I'd never see you this low."
