Doll Face

Its not over.

Amber

    My eyes slowly opened to the sight of what was left of our car. Smoke filled the air followed by flames of the 18 wheeler. I have purple bruises and small cuts on what seemed like every inch of my body.

"Rae?.." I asked my voice coming out hoarse.

"Rae!?" It came out as a cough due to the smoke. I stood up from the pavement forcing my legs to become strong even though they shook from beneath me. As I made my way to the car, something caught my eye. Liams father holding Rae in his arms laying on the ground.

"Rae!" I shouted running to them.

"She is fine, I broke her fall." He chuckled lightly allowing Rae to jump out of his arms and into mine.

"Rae, thank god you're okay." I hugged her tightly.

"Where is Liam?" I asked looking around.

"Your puppy?" I heard a cold hiss from behind me. Stephen. He stood tall with liam laying motionless beneath him. You know that fairy tale ending where the guy saves the girl and they live happy ever after? well I have a feeling that's not gonna happen.

"Let him go, Stephen." I ordered. He chuckled darkly.

"See, Now why would I do that? He took away my best creations. He took my only family." Heat rose within me. I draped my jacket over Rae's face, so he wouldn't recognize her.

"I was never your family, I was just your weapon, Stephen." He chuckled at my response.

"Idiot. Just like your mother. When she found out she was pregnant with my child, she hid from me and married her old boy friend claiming it was his. Now imagine how I felt Amber? finding out the woman I loved had left me and had taken my daughter with her...it tore me to pieces." He actually looked saddened.

"However when the child grew, I was reunited with her, I made her strong, indestructible and emotionless. Nothing would ever hurt her. I guess that wasn't enough...because here you are defending this dog, when I gave you life! I made you indestructible! You chose him." He looked like he would be in tears if he could.

"No you are lying! All you have ever done since I met you was kill the people I love. Up to this day you have my husband on the ground, I don't know if he is ok or not! My daughter could have died! My father in-law can't stand because of the damage and you want to play the 'daddy' card now?! it is too late for that Stephen, you chose the wrong time to be my father." Once I finished I placed Rae on the ground making sure to keep the jacket covering her face.

"Go with grandfather." She quickly ran to Henry.

From here things became hazy, blood covered my vision, and screams muffled my ears.

I reached into his chest and pulled out his heart. So many emotions flooded through me, but one stood out. Absolute Freedom. Just as I was about to walk away, I felt a hand wrap around my leg pulling me to the ground. A cold steal blade was pressed against my neck causing me to shudder. I tried to push Stephen off of me but I had no strength.

"Surprised, Doll Face? you are a weak helpless human, just like you wanted to be. Only one problem sweet heart, humans die." He slowly moved the blade across my neck making me shriek with every movement.

Within the blink of an eye Stephen was being flung off my body and on to the road.

A familiar dark haired figure now held Stephen by his neck.

"Christian?" I asked confused as I covered my wound with my hand.

"Amber he isn't powerful, he feeds off of your fears, that's why he needs you. Only you can end this, You create the monsters!" He shouted. In seconds he was on the ground.

I don't know what went throughout my mind exactly but in a split seconds I was hovering over Stephens body piercing my fingers through his throat.

"I am not afraid of you any more." I whispered before I separated his head from his body. 

From the corner of my eye I saw his hand fall open on the pavement. A small crumpled photo of him kissing a pregnant woman layer still in his hand. My mother.

"You did the right thing." Liam said still laying on the road.

"I know. Its just sad how he went from this normal loving man to this dead monster." I explained.

"Betrayal can change a person."

I stared at what was left of Stephens body for 5 long minutes before I looked away and vowed to never turn back.

My family was safe that's all I needed.
