Nobody's Son, Nobody's Daughter | A Split Fanfiction

Ch 2: Dance

Madison was officially freaking out. The Witch had found out she was gone and she was furious. She wanted Madison back immediately. What was she going to do? If she went back she'd get the punishment of a lifetime for leaving without permission. But if she didn't go back The Witch would file a missing persons report and then not only would she be looking for her but others would be as well. She'd without a doubt be found, not having anywhere to go if she decided to not go back.

"Shit." Madison paved back and forth at the edge of the parking lot. "Shit!" She was on the verge of a breakdown, and a big one.

Just as she was about to pull a crushed pack of cigarettes out of her bra she heard a commotion from somewhere in the parking lot. Her head whips around so fast it almost flies off her shoulders. Looking around she spots a man in black clothing with glasses removing a white surgical mask from his face before picking an unconscious man off the ground by his underarms.

Madison's mouth drops as she recognizes the unconscious man to be Mr.Benoit, Claire's father. In just a few quick moments Madison has her phone out, taking pictures of Mr.Benoit being dragged behind an adjoining car by the man in black with glasses. Maybe she could use these pictures to her advantage. As she zoomed her camera in further she could see figures moving around in the car. The girls were still conscious, but not for long.

After the man laid Mr.Benoit down he walked over and got into the driver's seat, shutting the door harshly. Madison took off running towards the car as fast as she could in 5 inch heels. She continued to look around cautiously, not wanting the man to get caught before she could get to him. By the time she got there she could see the man removing his mask yet again. Madison ran around to the driver's side. Her heart was pumping hard, almost beating out of her chest it seemed. With shaky hands and wide hopeful eyes she slammed her phone screen first against the window, the picture she'd taken fully visible. The man inside startled and turned to look at her. His nostrils flared as he looked at her. Before he could do anything Madison spoke.

"Take me with you or I'll show the police!"

It seems like an eternity passes before Madison fully wakes up. Although she was the last one knocked out she was the first one to wake. At first she was confused and delirious from whatever chemical had been used to knock her unconscious. She couldn't remember what had happened, but gradually everything came back to her: Claire's birthday party, the call from The Witch, the man in black.

The man in black! Where was he?

Madison wanted to thank him, her Savior. Because of him she finally had a chance to escape The Witch forever. Madison couldn't believe it. She was free! For the time being at least. There was no telling when The Witch might find her again.

While she waited for the others to wake up Madison went into the bathroom located off to the side and shut the door quietly behind her. After she's done her business and washed her hands she just stood there, staring at her own face in the mirror. Her eyeliner was smudged and there was mascara beneath her eyes. Even though her blonde hair was a frizzy mess she still felt more beautiful than ever

It finally fully hit her while she was standing there looking at herself that she was actually free! It didn't matter how many scars from The Witch she had. She. Was. Free!

Tears filled Madison's green eyes and she covered her still red lips with one of her hands. A silent scream left her mouth as she danced around the small room. Her body was filled with so much joy she didn't know what to do with it. She finally settled down after a few minutes and dabbed at her eyes with a piece of tissue to rid of the tears that had escaped.

Madison reached into her bra for that crushed pack of cigarettes from earlier, still feeling the urge to light one up and smoke it down to the filter. She half expected them to be gone, taken by the man in black, but she was pleasantly surprised to find them just where she left them along with her zippo and her iPod with the headphones still plugged in. The only thing that was gone was her cellphone. Madison pumped her fist lowly in excitement.
