The best mistake I ever made

Chapter 36

*henry*

For the next three days,Ray just acted like the dad of the family. Whenever he told me do something I would roll my eyes.

On the other hand, piper was enjoying having Ray Around. She liked that 'captain man' was in her house. Of course she posted it all over the internet.

I hear the front door open with Charlotte panting.

"Char what's wrong?" I ask her.

"Maddie. She's gone!"

*maddie*

I wake up tied up on a chair. Delirious as I was, I managed to call out someone's name.

"Henry? Ray?" I say. I could tell my voice was a lot more settle and deep.

"ANYONE?!" I screamed this time.

It was a dark room. I saw the front door shut tight so you couldn't see anything. There were no windows so I couldn't tell if it was day or night.

"HELP!" Was the last thing I screamed till someone opened the door.

It was man. Not too short or tall. He looked if he was in his mid 30s. Jet black hair and a beard. He looked as if I've seen him somewhere. So familiar.

"Ahhh so your awake my dear." He smiled.

"Don't call me that." I said.

"Should I not call my own daughter that?" He asked me.

Daughter?

"What are you talking about?" I carefully say.

"Ahh. Do you not know the story of the famous vandel?" He asks me getting closer.

I squirmed in my seat.

"I think I do." I tell him.

"Well long ago, nearly 14 years ago my own child was stolen from my hands! Daughter I should say. I never did see her again, unless you counted last night when you came wondering through." He explained.

"So your telling me that...I'm your....DAUGHTER!?" I yell.

"Ah didn't Ray tell you the truth?" He asked his eyes sinking into mine.

"No! And how do you know who Ray is?" I ask.

"Simply because I'm his-" someone came rushing through the door.

"Daddy!" A girl screamed.

She was tall and skinny. She had the longest dirty blonde hair and her green eyes peered towards me.

"Dad. Whose this?" She asked.

She looked much older then I was.

"Why dear veronika it's your younger sister!" He exclaimed.

"You mean the one that was stole from our uncle ray?" She asked vandel.

"IM THE STOLE CHILD?" I yelled this time.

Well now I know who the stole "baby" is!

"Wait. YOUR RAYS BROTHER?" I said realizing the second thought.

"Why yes yes. I was just about to say until Veronika came through." He says.

I couldn't understand! My parents, well at least my dad is, alive! Why has Ray been hiding this from me? All these years! I have siblings! A family. Just like I wanted. Why did Ray take me away?!

I had the sudden verge to explode into flames.

"My dear madsion, I know how you feel. Very much but-" I stopped him.

"NO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! RAY WOULD NEVER LIE TO
ME! HE TOLD ME THAT MY PARENTS DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT! YOUR LYING YOUR LYING, LYING!" I could feel the tears stream down my cheeks.

"Maddie come with me." My 'sister' Veronika said to me.

I tried to look away.

"Look even I don't know the sorry." She sighs.

"At least help me get out of this seat!" I say.

She walks over to me and unwraps me.

"Let's go." She pulled my wrist towards the exit.

We stepped outside the shed thing and I see light.

"It's already morning?" I ask her.

She nods.

"Yeah I guess I knocked you out hard." She chuckles softly. "Sorry."

"It's okay. I mean I'm okay." I tell her.

"Wanna see the house?" She asks getting excited.

"Um sure, I guess." I shrug.

We walk about a few minutes and reach a private house. It was big. Made by the best bricks and beautiful landscaping, it was hard not to look at.

"Wow." It spilled out of my mouth.

"Yeah 'wow'" she laughs.

I walk inside the house and stare in awe. It was HUGE.

"Come on mads lets go into your room." She smiled as she took my wrist.

*henry*

I was at junk n stuff pacing back and forth inside the room.

"Man! Where could she have gone this time?" I say out loud.

"We searched everywhere, no sign of her!" Ray said.

"Come on!" I yell sitting down on the sofa.

"Hen will find her soon. I promise." Char puts a hand on my shoulder.

"What if we never do? She could be anywhere! This is all rays fault!" I shot a look at Ray.

"How?" He asks.

"Oh let's see. Mm. You left Maddie home alone while you were at our house 'protecting' my mom for 3 days. You didn't even ask Maddie where and how she was. I didn't even see her in school! I thought she was sick or something!" I scream in frustration.

"Come on Henry! It's not like you lost a daughter or something!" Ray shouts back.

"Like she is your daughter." I mutter.

"You know that's a topic your not aloud to talk about!" He says.

"She's not even here Ray!" I cross my arms.

I felt a tear drop on my shirt.

"Henry." Charlotte looks at me.

"I'm fine." I wipe the tear away.

But I know I wasn't.
