Arabelle's POV
I wake up and look around, I think I'm going to see the bright sun shining through the windows, look beside me and see Daniel laying beside me, I'll hit him with a pillow telling him to get up like I do every morning, but as I open my eyes, he isn't there, and it isn't sunny. It's dark, pitch dark. I'm also not laying on a bed, I feel the hard, cold concrete start to become wet, I jump to my feet and squint my eyes to try and see what's going on, all I know is I feel and hear the water, I feel my way over to what I assume is the corner of the room and I try to squeeze into the corner, I feel the slightest bit of dry concrete and I try to keep my balance on that.
Alexis POV
I walk into the big two story house that i once lived in as a child
"Mommy!!" Hunter runs over to me.
"Hey buddy! It's late why are you still up hm?" I laugh and pick him up and he hugs me, I smile wide and hug him back.
"Daddy said I could stay up until you got back." He giggles and I smile at him.
"Oh did he now?" I carry him over to the living room and sit on the couch beside Luke, still holding Hunter, he lays across my chest watching the tv, I wrap my arms around him and rest my chin on the top of his head.
"What are you too watching?" I ask Luke, who's half asleep.
"I'm showing him the world of" and then he cuts off his words by a large yawn.
"The world of Disney movies?" I ask laughing as I look on the floor at the huge pile of Disney movies. Luke nods his head, Hunter jumps off of me and onto lukes lap, Luke groans and Hunter starts to giggle.
"Hunter baby, daddy's a little tired, why don't we head to bed?" I smile at Hunter and he shakes his head and begins to tear up.
"No... No bed!" Hunter screams and climbs off of Luke's lap and runs to behind a chair, he hides behind the chair and I look at Luke, Luke looks at me and sighs.
"Just when you think it gets better.." Luke says, I nod in agreement.
"He did sleep a lot today, maybe I'll stay up with him for a while, you can go to bed." I kiss Luke's cheeks.
"No.. We're in this together, I feel like we're so far apart from each other lately, a lot of stress has been put on us, we need to be in this, fully together. I miss you." He says and I smile.
"I love you." I tell him and hold his hand.
"I love you too." He says kissing my hand.
"But seriously, we can start being together again in the morning, you look the most tired I've ever seen you, you need your sleep."
"Alexis..." He begins to fight.
"Deal" he says giving in, I laugh and he does a tired laugh, he stands up and walks up the stairs and to the bedroom, calling goodnight to Hunter as he does.
"Hunter, why don't you come sit with momma?" I pat the couch beside me. He peaks his head out from behind the chair and I give him a sweet smile, he slowly crawls out from the place he previously was and he slowly makes his way over to me. I smile as he climbs onto the couch next to me and sits beside me, I wrap my arm around him and he leans into my side.
"How many movies have you and your dad watched today?"
He gives me a shrug
"Maybe fifty- hundred!" He exclaims and I laugh.
"Probably" I smile at him.
"Did you two do anything else?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"So all you did today was sit in front of the tv?" I frown and he nods grinning.
"That's not very good!" I pretend to be mad but I can't help but laugh when he gets up and runs over to the tv, he shuts the tv off and then runs back over to me and cuddles into me again.
"I was just joking baby!" I ruffle his hair and he flinches.
"Oh, I'm sorry.. You've still got some cuts there don't you?" I say looking at the top of his head, he nods.
"I won't touch it again, I promise." I say and he sticks out his pinky finger.
"Pinky promise?" He asks and I nod wrapping my pinky around his.
"Pinky promise."
"Are you hungry at all? I can make you some food." My mom says walking into the room.
"I'm a little hungry but I can make something my self." I say to her and Hunter nods chewing on his fingers. I take his fingers out of his mouth and hold his hands.
"You don't need to chew your fingers away! And don't you dare fight me Alexis, I will cook for you, I have not been able to in years!" My mom gives the sweet smile she has and leaves the room.
"Grandma cooks very good." I assure him and let go of his hands.
"Did you used to live here? Daddy says you used to live here" he says standing up and he starts to spin around in circles.
"Yes I did! I was born in this house, well, I was born in the hospital, but I grew up here, me and your aunt Amelia both." I smile at him and he smiles back.
"It's a pretty house." He says spinning around one more time and then falling onto his bum.
"I think it is too." I decide to check my phone, I haven't since I was at the hospital. I have a text message from Arabelle, I haven't heard from her in ages. I click onto my messages and then to her conversation to read it.
"You took my son away, I'll one by one take all the people you care about away. Kisses doll. -Sam"
I look up from my phone at Hunter, he's giggling and smiling away. I look back at my phone and realize he either has Arabelle or has already killed her.
