Fearing the Dead

11// I love you

So. Here we are.
I've got no idea where Maddy, Ofelia and Strand are, but I believe that after we rescued him and he had severe hyperthermia we would be somewhere warm with lots of blankets.
I'm making my way downstairs to see Daniel, Chris and Reed.
Who, has a pole through his torso.

I walk into the room and the horrible smell of blood and alcohol hits me.
Chris is sitting on the bed, arms around his legs, with Daniel in front of a chair-ridden Reed, cleaning his wound, so I go and sit next to Chris on the bed.

"Don't touch me" Reed whimpers as Daniel dabs a wet cotton ball onto his wound getting the blood away.
"I'll clean up when I get home"

"Who says you're going home?" Daniel tells him as he continues to work on his wound, Chris and I sitting silently in the background.

"You worried about what's gonna happen to your dad?" Reed says looking at Chris.

"You don't need to talk to the boy" Daniel tells reed with a stern look.

"I'm fine" Chris mumbles out, glaring at Reed.

"Guess it all depends whether you like your dad. Do you like your dad?" Reed says tauntingly.
"He a good guy?"

"Wait outside Chris. You too Angel" Daniel tells us but I shake my head.

"I said I'm fine" Chris glares.

"Cause my dad, he was an asshole" Reed laughs.
"Ever see what happens to a mans archilies when you clip it? Whew.
The whole thing just sucks right back up to the knee. Makes a sound like a firecracker when it's let go. That's what happened to my old man last time he laid his hands on me"

"You must be proud" Daniel says in a monotone voice.

"Me? No. My brother did that one. Elder looking out for the younger. See that's what you need to understand. When I don't come back with this boat and Angel like planned. Connor will come looking for me. And when he sees what you've done. Oh.." Reed laughs causing me to want to punch him in the bloody mouth.
"He might be a little bent. He has a dozen men, five boats. Oh and Angel. He really likes you. He has already promised me that I can do things to-" Reed is cut off by Daniel putting more alcohol onto his wound causing him to scream.

"Kiss. My. Ass" I smile to Reed knowing that never in a million years I would go with him.

"Oh. Sorry." Daniel says sarcastically, but Reed still laughs in response.

"Oh you will be. The thing is senõr. My brother, he's the nice one. But when he cuts me loose. I'm gonna take that daughter of yours apart. Oh and Angel. You won't ever see her again" Reed says to Daniel, before turning to Chris, and telling him the part about me, causing him to clench his fists and jaw.

"In all my time, I've known men who inspire fear. Do you know what they have in common? They never say how frightening they are" Daniel tells Reed, which causes him to shut his massive mouth.
"Chris, Angel"

Chris and I get up to go out before I hear Reed say something.

"Angel you will be mine. Sooner or later. Nothing can stop me" he says.

"Not unless you're dead" I deadpan, a wave heading in his direction.

When I get out of the room, I'm met by Daniel and Chris' gaze.
