Falling Skies

Now there's three

Hal POV

When I wake up all I can remember is screaming Ben's name. I look up and see Ben on the table still unconscious. But something is different.

"Hal?" I hear and look to my left.

"Dad?" I say and struggle at my restraints. "Dad, what are you doing here?" I say and he frowns.

"To get you out, but it didn't go according to plan." He said and met my eyes. "Pope has Anne." He said and I looked at him.

"Anne is ok, she came back?" I said and he nodded.

"She is fine, or at least she was when we were dragged apart." He said and I looked back at Ben.

"Yeah but things haven't been to good on our end either." I say and dad nods.

The door opens and I start to squirm. My dad picks up on it and looks dead at Polver. He picks up the taser and sticks it in Ben's back. His back archives and he screams. Damn it he is awake.

"Look who showed up Benny." Polver taunts and Ben looks at dad. Pope walks in smiling. He goes to dad and punches him. Ben and I start screaming and Pope laughs.

"Alright Ben, new rule." Pope says and looks at dad. "Choose, Hal, Dad, or you." He says and Ben looks back down.

"It will always be me." He says and dad looks so confused. I try to tear my eyes away but fear makes me look. Pope motions and another guard walks in. They each pick up tongs and I start to struggle.

"Stop!" My dad yells and Pope laughs. They all put tongs on Ben's back. Pope up top, Polver in the middle, and the guard at the bottom. When they pull up, Ben's screams are the worst sound ever.

They finally each pull out their spike and put them in jars. But for the first time, Ben is still conscious. Pope doesn't like this apparently. He picks up the taser and stabs it in Ben's back.

Little did he know that my dad had a knife with him.
