Kidnapping Twins

Hailey

A/N: I'm so sorry for the long wait. I've been really busy. I have a new part for you guys! It's pretty long too. Thank you guys so much for reading!

Veronica pushes me behind her and I stare at Uncle Joey, my mouth hanging open. Veronica has her arm over my chest, trying to protect me. Uncle Joey crouches down in front of us, smiling.

"Girls. This doesn't need to be bad. This way, we will be together forever." I take a deep breath and let it out, trying not to cry.

"No Uncle Joey. We don't want to be with you forever. You have been awful to us. We wanna go home. To mom and dad." Uncle Joey's face goes red with anger and I instinctively pull Veronica's arm, bringing her closer to me and farther away from Uncle Joey. He grabs my arm and drags me forward, bringing me closer to him. Veronica tries to grab me but Uncle Joey kicks her, sending her skidding across the room. I scream, struggling to get away from Uncle Joey. He stands up and drags me up with him, holding the gun to my head.

"Hailey, you can die first. Because that way I can see the pain in your sister's eyes." I start crying, not wanting to die. Suddenly I hear a door slam shut and Uncle Joey spins around, still holding the gun to my head. There are a ton of policemen who have entered the building and are now surrounding Uncle Joey and I. I hear Veronica scream and I manage to look over. She is looking at me in horror and is trying to get up to come towards me. A police officer has already ran over to her and is picking her up, carrying her out of the building. She screams and fights him, trying to get to me. He manages to get her outside and I start crying harder, knowing that that might be the last time she sees me alive. My knees give out and the only thing keeping me standing is Uncle Joey. He grunts underneath the sudden weight but he still keeps me standing.

"Sir! You need to let her go! This has gone on long enough!" Uncle Joey shakes his head, causing the gun to move around my head.

"No! I am not gonna be taken to jail! I will never be able to see them again! If I can't have them, then no one can!" I hear Uncle Joey adjusting the gun behind me and I close my eyes, not wanting to have to see my blood splatter everywhere. Suddenly Uncle Joey loses his grip on me and I fall to the ground. I hear a gunshot and I scream, covering my ears and curling up into a ball. I feel someone's arms around me and I scream, trying to fight them away. I hear a man talking into my ear and I freak out, my fear starting to take over. I hear a lot of commotion around me and I quickly get up, looking down and running out of the building. Suddenly I feel someone's arm wrap around me and I start to fight but then I hear Veronica's voice.

"Hay! Hailey, calm down! It's me! It's Veronica! Please! Calm down and stop fighting me!" I stop fighting, pulling back to make sure that it is really Veronica. I start crying once I see her and I pull her into a hug, falling to the ground. She falls to the ground as well, starting to cry as well. After a couple of minutes we finally separate and see a group of police officers crouching around us. I grab Veronica's hand, fear starting to course through my body again. I look over at Veronica and she gives me a look of courage, squeezing my hand. Veronica and I stand up, still holding hands. A woman police officer steps out of the crowd of officers and crouches down in front of us, smiling at us warmly.

"Hi girls. We have been looking for you guys for a while. Is it alright if we take you guys to the station? Or do you want to go to the hospital first?"

"Well we can just go to the sta-"

"We need to go to the hospital. Nica might have some internal bleeding." Veronica looks over at me, fear in her eyes. I turn towards her completely, grabbing her other hand.

"Veronica. I know that you don't want to go to the hospital. But we have to go eventually. I can't live without you. I need to make sure that you are gonna be ok. I can't lose you." Veronica sighs, tears coming to her eyes. We turn back to the officer and she smiles sweetly at us.
