So what?//Hayes Grier Fanfic

49- Radley

Hannah's POV:

"Why do all roads lead back to Radley?" Hayes questioned as I shook my head in confusion.

"I don't know. But I do know where we're going next" I said getting up and looking at the boys expressions which was the 'are you serious' look.

"Yes. now let's go" I said answering there question that I knew they were about to ask.

We walked out of the room and down the hall acting as though we were real cops. We finally got to the back door and sneak out.

We ran back to the car and jumped inside closing the doors behind us. I started the engine and drove down the dark roads in the night.

--------------------------------------------------------

I parked outside the familiar building as I stared at all the overgrown plants and vines that trailed up the walls.

This place gave me goosebumps.

I stopped in my tracks as flashbacks started to flood in my head. The screams of patients and the bashing on the walls echoed in my mind.

I felt a hand on my back which caused me to flinch and take in a sudden breath.

"You okay?" Hayes questioned as I paused for a second thinking about my answer.

"Umm....y-yeah" I said as I rubbed my warm palms together.

"Hey, listen" he said grabbing me lightly by my upper arms and turned me towards him.

"It's going to be hard, going back in there. But you have to remember what we are here for. Who we are here for" he corrected himself at the end as he kissed me softly on my forehead.

I nodded and took a deep breath before walking through the tall black metal gate that had gold spikes on the top to stop people getting in and most importantly out.

"I'll check round here" Cam said as he disappeared around the corner of the building.

I looked around at all of the boarded up windows and broken bricks. This place looks like it belongs in a horror film or something.

Me and Hayes walked around but couldn't find any sort of entrance. We walked around to where Cam said he was going but he wasn't there.

Although, there was a door open that led into the building which I'm guessing he went in.

I motioned for Hayes to follow me as i hesitantly walked through the door. I got my phone out and clicked the torch as did Hayes on his phone.

We tip toed through the empty halls looking for Cam but there was no sign of him.

I got to a door and saw a shadowy figure go past it. I waved my hand at Hayes signalling for him to come over.

'There's someone in there' I mouthed to him so no one heard. I placed my hand on the door handle and was hesitant to open.

I finally pushed it open to reveal the children's ward. It had rocking horses and old dolls inside cots.

There was no one in sight though. I saw another door so decided to take a look inside.

I walked over and opened it to see a small coffin in the middle of the room. The only thing that worried me was that it was exactly the same size as Sofia.

"H-hayes" I said as I stood there and stared at the small wooden box. He walked over and looked inside.

"What is i-" he cut his sentence short as his facial expression snapped. He stood there with his mouth gaping open.

"Y-you don't think....." he said not finishing his sentence although I knew what he was going to say.

"i-i don't know" I said walking slowly to the coffin. Hayes stood by my side as neither of us said a word for a while until he broke the silence.

"Shall I open it?" He whispered.

"I guess that's the only way we're going to find out what....or who is in there" I said as he nodded and bent down.

He took the lid and carefully lifted it off. I took a sharp intake of breath as I saw what was inside.

It wasn't Sofia

But it was a doll that looked exactly like her

Hayes backed away and dropped the lid onto the floor causing it to bang loudly.

"Shhh" I whisper shouted as he held his hand up defence. Suddenly, there was a loud, high pitch scream.

But the scream sounded all to familiar

The scream that I dreaded to hear

The scream that showed so much pain and suffering

The scream that made my heart crash into a million pieces but grow twice as big with anger

The scream that came from the mouth of my baby girl

My princess

My little Sofia Marie
