Madison Laden (Destination Fear)

I went all Dean Winchester on that bitch

It's been a few days since we got back from the last trip and I'm home alone trying to catch up on some sleep. The guys went back to Vegas yesterday, and Chelsea went back to Illinois this morning.

I'm laying in the comfort of my blankets when I hear my dad calling for me. I sit up confused and walk into the hallway. "Dad? What are you doing home? I thought you were at work." I say as I walk down the stairs. He doesn't respond, which confuses me more.

I don't see him in the living room, so I move to the kitchen. When I don't see him there, I get more concerned. I look through the whole house but find I'm still the only one home.

"What the fuck?" I mumble. I hurry back up to my room but when I get there I see the entity that has tormented me my whole life, the man in the hat.

My breath catches in my throat and I contemplate running across the road to the Schroeder's house and calling my parents because my phone is across the room.

Before I can move, the entity turns around. It looks at me and smiles sinisterly. "There is no escaping me now." It says in my father's voice.

I immediately turn to run because I know it's not bluffing. It's waited my whole life for me to be completely alone so it can come after me, and today is it's perfect opportunity.

I rush down the stairs and when I get close to the bottom, I feel hands on my back, pushing me.

I land on my left arm, hard, but don't have time to react before the entity is standing over me.

I can feel my arm throbbing, it's probably broken. The entity smiles again before using force to slide me across the floor and up the wall to where I am standing again.

It looks me right in the eyes before now mimicking Dakota and saying, "I've been waiting a long time for you to be completely alone. Now there is no escaping me. You will not live to be 14, child."

My eyes flood with tears as I feel claws against my neck. I push the tears away, determined to do something to save myself from this situation.

I look it in its black eyes and say, "You don't scare me any more. I'm not the same scared 5 year old I was last time you tried to hurt me, I've changed. I've realized I have a gift. And with that gift comes the power and courage to finally stand up to you. You have no power over me and you never truly did. This is my house, not yours. You don't belong here so go back to whatever hell you came from and never come back!" I yelled.

When I finished, the claws around my neck vanished and the entity was gone. The house felt different, the air was lighter. I knew for sure now that he was gone and he wasn't coming back.

It's then that the adrenaline wore off and I felt the searing pain in my arm. I rushed upstairs to get my phone. I tried my dad first, he didn't answer. I called my mom, I got her voicemail. I knew it wouldn't do me any good because he's in a different state, but I tried calling Dakota.

He picked up on the fifth ring. "Hello dear sister." "Dakota," I sob. "I think I broke my arm."

"What? What happened? Where are mom and dad?" He asks. "They're at work and they didn't pick up their phones. As for what happened, something pushed me down the stairs. Don't worry, I got it leave and it's not coming back. I went all Dean Winchester on that bitch." I smiled at the last part, glad that it's finally over.

"Oh my God, okay. Look, I'll get the guys and we'll be on the first flight. I want you to go across the street to the Schroeder's house and wait there until I can get a hold of Mom or dad." He says.

"Okay. I'm leaving the house now. I love you." I say. "I love you too. I'll see you soon, okay?"

"Okay, bye." I say and hang up. I go across the street and wait with Alex's parents.

*DAKOTA'S POV*

I rush out of my room and down the stairs. "Guys, get your shit. We gotta get the first flight back to Minnesota." I tell Alex, Tanner, and Conner.

"What? Why? We just got back." Tanner says, confused. "Something happened to Madi and she broke her arm or something and out parents didn't answer the phone. Will one of you get us on a plane while I go try to talk to one of my parents?"

"Yeah dude, of course, go." Conner says as I rush back up the stairs to my room.

I eventually get my dad to pick up the phone and tell him what's going on. He's on his way to take Madi to the hospital now and the guys and I are on our way to the airport.

*MADISON'S POV*

A little while later, my dad picks me up and we meet my mom at the hospital. Thr ER was surprisingly pretty full for the middle of the day so Dakota and the guys got there before I even went to the back.

After waiting for about 4 hours, I finally saw a doctor.

He took X-rays and told us that it's a pretty bad break and it's going to require a small surgery.

They decided to do the surgery now instead of waiting and risking more damage. Dakota looks at me before they wheel me out and says, "We'll all be here when you get back."

"I love you guys." I say as they wheel me away.

*Approximately 3.5 hours later*

I wake up and am surrounded by nurses. I'm really confused when I see a purple cast on my arm.

A few minutes later, they wheel me into a room full of people.

"Oh hey people!" I say as we enter the room.

*DAKOTA'S POV*

"Oh hey people!" I hear Madi say and look up to see her being wheeled back in with a purple cast on her left arm.

"Oh she's high as fuck." I hear Alex chuckle out from in between me and Conner.

"We could do use this as blackmail. Someone video this." Tanner says as Conner gets his phone out.

After a few minutes of her babbling about the room spinning and her not being a turtle, mom and dad leave to get her a new change of clothes before she goes home.

Just then, her friends walk in. "Hey guys." Hunter says as they all take seats on the opposite side of her bed from us.

We all talk to each other for a minute before we hear, "You look a little weird." We see Madi talking to Hunter, which makes us all laugh. "But you're cute." She says.

She takes a long look at him before saying, "I like you." "Oh yeah?" He asks her. "I think." She responds which makes her friend Jackson snort.

"You're cute." She says again and touches her fingers to his forehead.

"I'm about to blow your mind right now. You wanna know how?" He asks.

She looks away for a second and he kissed her cheek. She looked back at him with her jaw dropped before looking at me and whispering, "The cute guy's kissing me!" Which all of us laugh.

He then kissed her on the lips and he's even more shocked, which lead to more laughter from the rest of us.

Not long after that, mom and dad got back with her new clothes and after getting changed, the doctors talked to us to tell us what needed to happen for her arm to heal properly.

"Come on, let's get you home." I say as I help her into the car.

A/N: sorry it took me so long to update and this is just a filler until next week probably but if not then it will be the week after that for sure because school is starting back up and that means a normal update schedule hopefully. Thank you for reading and let me know what you thought!
