Chapter Seventeen

"Honey I'm home."

My voice rang through the house. I heard a loud thump and a murderous scream. Kate! I ran up the spiral staircase to the room all my nightmares started. I felt the murderous feeling in my stomach. I wanted to throw up just being in this house. I looked down at the wooden stairs he made me scrub on weekends. He liked looking at my but+.

Once I finally got up the stairs, I slammed his door open to find Blake holding Kate to the wall by the shoulder and a gun in his other and aimed it to her head. Kate had a huge handprint on her left cheek with tears streaming down her face. It didn't take a genius to know what happened.

"Aww. Ally! So nice of you to join us. You see Kate here can't seem to fill your role as good as I was hoping. But now.. You can put us both out of our misery. Get on the bed." He said looking at me threateningly. I was suddenly that scared little girl again. The one that knew better then to defy his orders. I was slowly walking to the bed while keeping full eye contact on him and Kate. I just didn't want him to hurt her. I don't know what happened. I sat down slowly and made no sudden movements. Please don't pull the trigger. Instead he started chuckling to himself.

"You know Kate. Your sister here was just so perfect. So.. So perfect. I had to teach her that no one could be perfect. That no matter how perfect you are, you have to have flaws. She didn't have any." He glanced back at me. I had no idea what he was talking about. He never told me I was perfect. He rarely ever gave me compliments. I looked at Kate and saw the confusion and fear in her eyes. Blake continued. "I had to have her you see. From when I first layed eyes on the shy little nerd. She was so perfect. So bright. So pure. I had to darken her. I had to show her the real world. But most importantly, I had to have her completely submissive to me. No matter what she did, she had to ask me first. I taught her so well that she wouldn't even eat with out asking me first , let alone use the restroom."

It was true. I was so afraid. He had complete control over me. When I left it was difficult to eat or use the restroom because I had no one to ask. It took a lot of getting use to. I felt ashamed of myself. He was telling her my secrets. Everything that kept me awake at night was now being spoken out loud. No one besides Blake and I knew of what happened. I was embarrassed. There goes all my strength. He was peeling back my layers and exposing me.

"I chose you when she left Kate, because let's face it, your her twin. A spitting image of what I wanted. But you could never fill her shoes. You aren't enough. You are to defiant. Always trying to run away or leave. Always fighting me. Battling me. Trying to win. Alexis." He laughed softly and looked at me again. I knew what he was going to say, and I was even more ashamed. Kate actually fought back. I was to weak to do that. "She just sat there and let me do whatever I wanted. She was a very obedient girl. My love." He looked back at Kate. "I tried to teach you. I tried to help. Make you become the perfect girl like your sister. But no. Your greedy."

I heard the safety click and instincts kicked in. I was up off the bed and behind Blake in a split second. I grabbed the gun and slammed it against his head. He spun around looking angry. I quickly put the safety back on and threw it at Kate while sending a kick to Blake's chin. He went back against the closet door in pain and surprise filled his eyes. I jumped up and did another spin kick against his head. "Kate. Call the police!" I yelled while I threw my phone at her next.

Blake came at me full force I dodged a few sings but he was crazy. His movements were lazy and uncontrolled. He was just hitting hoping to get lucky. After a succeeding blow to my cheek he stopped thinking I would double over and cry or scream, but I am no whimp. I sent a right uppercut then a left. Then a spin kick. After a few more hits I did a very unladylike thing and sent a knee up to his precious jewels. I usually wouldn't use that quitters move but I was so angry. Then I heard the sirens. The police didn't have to slam the door down because I already did that favor for them. They came in and picked Blake up and locked his hands in cuffs. Then they came to me and cuffed me too. Okay this looks bad. Maybe I should have just kept the gun and pointed it at him until they came. They were reading me my right when Kate came over shocked. "No officer stop this is my sister. She saved my life. Please." He hesitated but shortly after I was free of the cuffs and was engulfed in a hug. I wasn't use to this type of gesture so I awkwardly patted her back.

She pulled away and looked at me. "Thank you." I nodded and I walked her out. The police took us to the station to give a report. I wasn't planning on telling them the part about me, but Kate told them enough. How she was abused daily and had scars to prove it. That he held her at gunpoint when I showed up and heroically saved the day. A doctor came in and viewed her scars to prove she wasn't lying. One caught my eye. I looked at her left hip to see the identical scar to mine. I wonder why she didn't tell them I had been in that situation. Blake practically told her I was in the same spot as her at one point but am just took the pain. After a lot of explaining and a full report we were both very tired. The police assured us that we will not be seeing him again and that brought peace into my life. After beating him senseless I think I gained back a peace of me that died long ago. I had revenge in a way. It felt good.

I brought a sleepy Kate back to my apartment and fell asleep for the first time, in peace. Kate lay beside me on the bed offering me the company I hadn't known I was longing for.
