Mistletoe

Chapter 10 | Returned

^ Madison crying ^
A/N: the chloroform made Aiden forget whatever happened in the past hour, so he forgot that Madison was kidnapped. Plus, none of the friends were in contact with him.
Henry's back.

OH

MY

GLOB

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME WHEN I'M NO LONGER YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL.

Happy readings!

THE SOUND OF his hand against my cheek broke the silence among us. 'Bitch.' He snarled, as he pulled my hair firmly. But I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I didn't mind. I pressed my lips in a firm line as he forced me to look at him. 'Scream! Scream bitch.' Henry demanded, his spit flying everywhere. It's been 5 days.

5 days without food.

5 days without hope.

5 days without Aiden.

'Let me tell you a story.' Henry snarled as he squatted beside me, picking his nails with a pocket knife. 'Has your mum ever told you about me? Why I left.' He yawned as I grit my teeth.

'Why would she ever talk about such a low life.' I grimaced as he chuckled, before slicing a cut under my breast. Red bloomed under a white T-shirt he had given me from the last person he murdered. I refused to scream. 'Why? Maybe because she was embarrassed that I found someone prettier than her!' He roared shaking my shoulders vigorously.

'But then I found someone prettier and impregnated her too.' He shouted as he left me. Like he did five years ago. Tears began falling from my cheeks, sobs racked from my body. I've been left for dead. Suddenly I heard a car skid, and the door thud.

'Daddy, I'm home.' A familiar voice hollered as the talking got louder. 'So tell me what happened.' Henry chirped, his tone changing

'Madison wen't missing, Alexis and I-'

Alexis and I? That means Ava was the one talking.

That means Ava was my half sister. 'Tell you what honey, grab some food from the basement and we can have a day together.' Henry ordered, anger laced in his tone.

'Okay, father.' She opened the door, and shock filled her eyes.

She pretended not to see me and gave me a knowing wink.

Henry fell for her trap and they both walked out of the basement.

I felt drowsiness take over me as I struggled to withstand the deep slumber.

I eyed the beady little arm as it struck three. I grabbed my backpack and began running home, wishing all my prayers that dad would be at home. As I walked in my house I didn't see the white Lexus that dad owned. I yanked on my hair, as I fell to the ground. 'Text me! Call me! Visit me. Do something.' I shrieked angrily as my breathing became ragged. My throat was clogged up as I tried to grasp on my oxygen. I saw red everywhere. Colton tried to help me, but he couldn't. Thanks to Henry, I got anxiety attacks for four years, I overcame it on my sixteen birthday.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something shiny. It was only 2 steps away from me so I outstretched my leg and grabbed the knife. I gripped it with my toe and pulled it towards me. I reflected the fabric around my arms and I felt the material weaken. I heard it snap as I rubbed my wrist, a purple bruise forming.

I seized the knife from my lap and cut open the cloth around my mouth. Perfect. I wandered around the basement quietly when suddenly I found a ladder. I grabbed a pair of binoculars lying around and examined the direction the ladder led me to.

It led me to Ava's room. I climbed up her room. Her walls were white with a black feature wall and she had a large queen bed. I grabbed a pair of tights, a cropped shirt and a leather jacket.

I then wandered to Henry's room and found a pistol and a bottle of chloroform. I burrowed them in my pocket before climbing down the ladder. Ava was turning around frantically, but when she saw me, relief softened her panic stricken face.

'Oh god. Father was talking about a half sister, is that half sister you?' She gasped softly

I nodded as she hauled me into a hug.

'Oh, hurry lets go.' She ushered as we ran towards a figure. The figure flicked a knife and without knowing, I ran into him. 'Haha, right in the heart.' Ava had ran into a dark corner and was now texting Jacob and Aiden.

'I guess this is goodbye.' He pressed a firm kiss on my temple as I sucked a sharp intake of breath. I clawed his wrist and pulled out the knife from my chest.

'Madison, no! You'll die!' Ava screamed as I grit my teeth hardly. I then plunged the knife through the crease of his elbow. He fell to the ground, paralyzed.

My breathing became ragged, my lips cold and blue. 'Stay with me!' Ava pleaded as I chuckled dryly.

'Come.. On.. W..w..we k..k..n..ow tha..a..t I'm... g...ggonna d..d..ie.' I muttered, plastering a weak smile.

'When I d...d...d..die t..t..tell A..aiden, I l..lo-'

'You don't have to.' Aiden stated, his hair blowing.

I reached a pathetic arm towards him as he took it knowingly.

'The ambulance is coming.' He pressed his lips to my hand as he pressed a cloth on my raw wound. It was erupting with blood.

I'll be fine. I think.

'T..tell m..m..me a story.' I whimpered as he caressed my hair.

'This one time, Freya and I were at the water park along with Jacob. We were six back then. Six and scared. Freya and I wanted to go on all the crazy rides but little Jacob was a big pussy and didn't want to go. So we went on all the baby rides, ate some food but then enough was enough. I hauled Jacob and his chicken ass over to the scariest ride and made him sit on it. While we were sitting, a foul smell was in front of me. Turns out pussy Jacob shat his pants.'

I chuckled but then I felt drowsiness take over me.

'Baby doll, stay with me.'
