Chapter 7 Dakota. (Escaped)

(TW: abu$e)

I laugh as I make my way farther and farther away from that house. "Was he really that stupid?" I ask myself laughing. After thirty minutes I make it back to the highway, by this time it was almost 2 in the morning and I'm fucking exhausted and couldn't wait till I got home to... CARLA AND NIKO.

Fuck. I told them I would pick them up hours ago, damn that boy. I shouldn't have been that stupid. I went there by myself with only one gun and no one else. I was a fucking idiot for doing that. Then again I thought it was my coworker so then I wasn't really thinking about it, then again, I didn't expect me to get knocked out and stay there for hours. I tap the steering wheel anxiously, they'll be okay, I tell myself countless times. I trust Mrs Smith, I know she would never do anything to them, she loves them like her own children, hell my father always left me with her. I didn't get much to eat due to the fact that when I was looking for something to eat I was rudely interrupted by Dominic. It felt as if hours had gone by of me driving down the same highway, but when I looked at the clock, it had only been forty-five minutes? This is going to be a long ass ride. After what felt like hours and a very anxiety ridden drive I finally got home around four-thirty.

Right as I walk in and turn on the lights I see.. Mrs Smith? "Took you long enough dear, if you told me you'd be out partying all night I would've brought the kids here earlier." She turns around to look at me from the couch she was on and looks at me in horror. "Oh honey, what happened to you?" She asks frantically running over to me. I guess I hadn't realized all the dried up blood and dirt on my clothes and face, I was more worried about the kids. I wince as she puts her hand on my face to inspect the cuts and bruises. "I'm okay, don't worry about me, I'll be okay." "Dakota," she asks me, "Is this about your father?" I pause, "No..." "Honey, I've known you since before what happened with your mother, what happened?" She puts one of her arms around me and guides me over to the couch. "Well, earlier when I was with the kids I got a DM from someone unknown, I thought it was just one of my co workers wanting to talk about an assignment," I tell her, "They sent me an address and I went, turns out it wasn't my coworker but the 2 men at my fathers funeral, they knocked me out, I was out for hours, then they want to talk to me, but I escaped them and came back here, it took me so long because it was two hours away." "What did they want to talk to you about?" She asks, looking concerned. "They wanted to talk to me about-'' I had to stop myself before I had anything else, she only knew a little about what my dad was and what he did. I couldn't just tell her I kidnapped a girl so I had to make something up.

"Well, I don't really know they just kept me in a room until I finally escaped." "Sweetie you really have to stop following your fathers footsteps." She chuckles. "Yeah considering what happened to me tonight, sorry to change the subject, but when did the kids get here?" I ask her, even though I only care that they are here with me safe. "I drove them here around ten eleven-ish. They said they wanted to sleep in their own beds, that they missed you, and they wanted to be here when you got home." I smiled at her, knowing I missed them and wanted to see them too. "You know I was trying to call you and tell you we were here, but nothing was going through." She explains, "It might have been where I was, I was in the middle of nowhere." I tell her, "Must have been, well dear you should get some rest after the day you've had, you will need it." With that she hugs me despite all the blood and dirt on me, "Do you need anything before I go?" She asks, "No I'm okay, thank you Mrs Smith, for everything." I say, "Of course honey, if you ever need anything please let me know, I'm only a phone call away!" I laugh, "I will, bye Mrs Smith!" "Bye honey I'll see you soon!" I hear her start her car in the driveway and drive off. I look down at my clothes covered in dirt and blood not even having enough energy to get up. I just lay down and fall asleep on the couch.

Hours later I wake up to birds chirping and Carla and Niko's door opening. "You're home You're home!!" Niko yells running towards me, "Yay we missed you!" Carla says following Niko, both of them jump on the couch next to me. "Where were you last night?" Niko asks, "Yeah, and what happened to your clothes?" Carla asks looking down at my shirt. "I uh- I was out longer than expected and I slipped and fell and got all scraped up," I tell them looking at Carla I can see the look on her face, she doesn't believe me, "But don't worry I'm okay, but before we do anything I'm gonna do take a shower okay?" I finish my sentence. "We are just glad you are okay!" Carla tells me, "Yeah! We thought you got kidnapped or something crazy!" Niko exclaims. The crazy part is that's actually what happened to me yesterday, but neither of them needed to know that... "You guys watch some TV and I'll go take a shower okay?" I tell them. "Okay!"

I get up off the couch and make my way into my bedroom, I grab a pair of pajama pants and crop top and head to the bathroom. I walk in and turn the shower on hot I was freezing, last night I should've asked Mrs Smith for a blanket. As I'm taking my clothes off I look in the mirror and notice all the scars on my body remember what they were from... "Are you even listening to me you fucking idiot? That's not how you do it, you have to do it like this." "I- I'm sorry sir, I thought I was doing it right.." "Well you're not, if you do it like that again I'm going to cut your fucking arms again" Now let's do it again." I shudder with horror of that memory, remembering things like that made me sick. I ignore my thoughts and hop into the shower.

Once I'm out of the shower I put on my new clothes and walk out of my bedroom. As I open my bedroom door, I see Carla and Niko standing behind it. "Can we have pancakes?" Carla asks me. "I mean we can have them if you want them.." I tell her hesitantly, "Yeah I want one, I'm really hungry!" She says, "So am I!" Niko says, jumping into the conversation. "Okay let's go." We walk into the kitchen and I grab the pancake mix and a pan. Carla's helping me, and Niko is just sitting on the counter watching us make them. We get done with the pancakes and all sit down to eat on the couch. When we sit down, I look out the window, almost like I'm looking for something, or someone. Because the entire time we were making pancakes I felt as if there was a certain presence watching us.

This one I feel like was kinda rushed but oh well

Also.. who do you think was watching them?
