He calls Me Princess

The Aftermath

Damn it! I thought it would be fine after I killed her dad. I thought we could go home and be happy again. But John had to come in and ruin it.

I stood up, ready to rip his throat out and make his face a part of the very concrete beneath me.

"Ah ah ah, not so fast big guy." John taunted pressing the knife to Amethyst's throat. 

"I wouldn't come too close if I were you, not if I wanted forgiveness from that lovely girl over there, I mean you did just kill her dad. One family member at a time, am I right Doll Face?"

She looked over at him with a hatred so pure I felt it, then she began to cry. Her sobs broke my heart. I felt her emotions and thoughts as she did mine. The cry was out of helplessness and it infuriated me that I couldn't do anything without her only living family left, dying in front of her.

"We could both live normal lives John. You child finish school-"

"HA. Normal is a setting on the dryer. People like us, we don't get Normal."

"Let her go, John. We both know I can kill you without a scratch on me."

"But what about this hunk of meat in my hands? This wonderful blood supply. And a fun little toy if she's willing enough." he laughed sliding the knife up and down Amethyst's leg while looking at Princess's disgusted face.

"You wanna be my play thing instead, Doll Face?" he asked her.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" I yelled, ready to run. But as soon as I took a step I heard a loud, pain-filled screech and a sorrow filled cry.

I looked at Amethyst and the blood was trickling from a small puncture wound in her neck as John twisted the knife in, never looking away from me.

"Come at me, Lover Boy. I dare you." he said seriously.

I knew I couldn't. He wasn't as fast as me, but fast enough to snap her neck or stab her in it before I got him. And he knew it, he knew he had the upper hand.

So we all stood in silence.

Then he licked the trail of blood from her collar bone to the puncture and it sealed immediately from his saliva.

"While I'd love to stay and chat, I'll have to take my meal to-go. It's been a real slice. And I'll see ya real soon Doll Face." he said with a wink, while walking slowly still holding Amethyst hostage.

"Please," Onyx sobbed, "Please don't do this John. Please, she's the only family I have left. She's been there for me through everything. She's been my mom, my dad, and my sister since my parents left me. She never let me out of her sight when we were bouncing around orphanages. I need her. I love her so much. Please, John. I'll do anything, just don't hurt her. Let me have my sister back. I can't live without her."

John stood there, standing still with a now crying Ames. "I love you too little sis." she cried.

"I didn't know you guys were so close... I'm sorry. I guess you're free to go." he said looking down sadly.

"Really?" princess asked with hope bright in her eyes.

"Nope! Bye." he said, zipping away with her sister.

"Nooooo! Ames..... Please come back. Please. I'm sorry. I need you. Please come back. I'm sorry. Come back." she cried.

"Princess.. I-"

"Don't apologize Alex. Just help me get my sister back." determination and anger replaced her sadness as she wiped het tears away.

"We need to go back to my house. I have an idea." I say.

***

"That's it? That's your big idea? You want to storm into his house, kill him and take my sister back?" she asks.

"Well do you have a better plan?"

"...I guess not. Lets go."

"Hold on. I'll go get the keys."

Before I left the room Princess's phone rang.

"Who is it?" I question.

"It's...it's John." she states.

"Answer it!"

She slides the call button to the right and presses speaker.

"Hello?"

Hey Doll Face. How's it goin?

"What do you want, shit-for-brains?"

That's really no way to talk to me, being that your sister is tied to the chair right behind me.

She tensed up.

That's right. Give the phone to Alex.

She handed me the phone and I took it, ready for whatever he had to say.

Ill make you a deal. "Ames" in exchange for your most prized possession, Onyx.

Except for that.

I heard Amethyst pleading for him to just kill her and leave her sister alone then I heard a loud smack and her cry.

"You're insane, there's no way I'm letting you take my-"

"Deal." princess says.

"You can't be serious."

"Protect her Alex, Please. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you."

Wonderful. I'll pick you up at the park near your house, shall we say hmm 9 o'clock? And come alone.

"Alright." she said, no fear in her voice.

Buh bye Doll Face.

"I'm taking your car. You can come pick it up along with my sister."

"Princess please let me come with you." I pleaded.

"No. I can handle myself, Alex."

She came to me and cupped my cheek. I closed my eyes and leaned into it, covering her hand with mine.

"I love you, princess."

"I love you too, Alex."

***

Onyx's p.o.v!!!

It's been a while since I've been home. I haven't seen the inside of my own house since I got kidnapped.

I say it like it's the norm.

I roll up to the park at exactly 9 and John was patiently waiting there.

"Are you alone?" he questions.

"Yes."

"Is that your car?"

"Who are you, a cop? You want my licence and registration too?" I fire back, instantly feeling annoyed.

He chuckled. "You're right. That isn't exactly what we came here for." he walked towards me.

When he was close enough, he grabbed my hands and rubbed me through my jeans.

I violently jerked my hands back and shoved him off of me. He landed on the floor with a thud, rolling into his back tire.

And that's when the rematch really began.
