The wilting flower (a tnn fanfic)

Chapter three: the scrunchy

Tw: kidnapping, blood, self harm, mentions of attempted suicide

Carly was walking out of the nursery, heading towards the bus stop as Reece and Marjorie were unavailable. As she walked, her ponytail was starting to irritate her. She started to take the scrunchy out and let her hair down when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm. In shock, Carly dropped the scrunchy on the floor, before being shoved into the back of a van.

-fast forward-

Carly awoke, finding herself levitated over a canyon. Instantly her survival senses kicked in and she started screaming and frantically looking around for anyone.

Then she saw her worst nightmare.

The owner of the nurseries, roger knight, was standing there, holding the only piece of rope that was stopping Carly from falling 500 kilometers down.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME"
Carly screamed at the top of her lungs
"Call Marjorie and Reece and tell them that if they don't get here in 30 minutes, I'm dropping the rope."
Roger answered back coldly.
"But I don't have my phone?"
"Yes you do."
Carly whipped her phone out, grateful to see the 5 bars of service. She immediately rung Marjorie and told her exactly what roger had said.

At Reeces house:

Marjorie ran up to reece and frantically exclaimed
"We need to drive to the blue canyon now, your dad has Carly"
The two of them hopped in the car and sped to the canyon.

-fast forward to when they get to the canyon-

Marjorie was horrified by the sight in front of her. Carly was dangling over the canyon only held by a small piece of rope. And at the other end of the rope, was roger.

Marjorie panicked, asking roger what he wanted.

"Simple." He responded, a smirk painting his face. "He needs to confess what he used to do." He told Marjorie, while pointing at Reece.

"Reece what did you used to do?"
Marjorie said worried
Reece panicked, then he felt it.

Word vomit.

"I used to self harm myself, and attempted multiple times"
He blurted out.

"Now dad bring Carly back to land."
Rogers smirk disappeared.
"Fine. You can have your little teenager back." He said while waving his hands.

A bloodcurdling scream came from Carly.
Roger had let go of the rope.

Marjorie ran to the side of the canyon, and saw the once blue bottom turned a dark crimson colour.
Tears welled up in both Marjorie and Reece's eyes. While the couple was crying, roger ran.

No one knew, but at the same time roger let go of the rope, Carly's scrunchy fell into a manhole. Almost as if it wasn't a coincidence...

One down, 5 to go
Who will perish next?
Will it be a flower?

No, it will be the snow.

A season will cry,
And another dies,
What will be their goodbye?
