Persephone's Search

Chapter Eight

"Jake she's alive, both of them are." Riley said to him. "I need to go get my girls."

"We are Riley. Why does she want us to wait 2 days to go get her? We can be there in no time now that we know where she is." Jake said.

"She wants to make sure that she make him feel comfortable enough for him to drop his guard." Riley answered.

"How is she going to do that?" Jake asked confused.

"I don't know. He probably has already beaten her pretty badly and she's probably not fighting back."

"I thought you said she knew how to defend herself. Hell the way she whooped Am's ass I know she can handle herself." Jake said.

"She can Jake but if your child's life was at stake; what would you do? Take the beatings and whatever else came along or fight?"

"You don't think he would hurt a baby. He can't be that much of a son of a bitch as to hurt an innocent little girl."

"Jake Phoenix is not Persephone's first child. She was pregnant before and when she told Trey about it thinking that it might change things he just beat her and stomped the baby out on purpose. She said he told her that he would not have a baby with her ever. Jake the damage that he caused was so much, she said the doctors told her she would never have another kid."

"Damn he really is a son of a bitch. He stomped out his own child. Yea we need to hurry up and get YOUR CHILD out of there."

"She risked her life just by calling me. We have to have everything set and ready to go. Trey is going to kill my girls if I don't get there and kill him first." Riley said desperately.

"SKITZ" Jake yelled.

"Yea Boss." Skitz yelled back.

"Call everyone and tell them I want them here in an hours' time. If they wear a Pride Brothers cut they better have their ass here and tell them to bring all their weight we are headed to war," Jake said.

"On it Boss." Skitz said already dialing numbers on his phone.

"Jake there is something I need for you to do for me first" Riley told him.

"Anything Brother." Jake responded.

Riley's face became very serious and dark, "I need you to take care of my girls if anything happens to me. Protect Seph and my daughters with your life. Watch over that girl that Seph is bringing with her. We are going to war, I'm' going to kill that bastard, so if I go to jail or end up dead I need to know now that my girls will be looked after. I don't want my house to be sold that one belongs to Zaya. Tell them that I love them and anything I ever did was always to look out for them."

"You already know that I will protect them, we all will. Riley you are coming out of this and you will raise your girls. Dude what you and Seph have is amazing. After Perry died I didn't think you were going to make it. Then you met Seph and you had that school boy look in your eyes. To be honest you never even looked at Perry that way. I am happy that you found someone who knows you and loves you for you. She doesn't want to try and change you, she embraces who you are just the way you are. She will have my loyalty, protection and love forever."

Riley walked over to Jacob and hugged tight, "Thanks Brother I appreciate it."

"Ok now enough of this mushy shit lets go get ready."

On the day Persephone called Riley, Trey did not come back to torture her. Instead she spent the rest of that night going over her head what was about to happen in the next 2 days. At some point one of the guards finally brought her something to eat after not having fed her for 2 days. She looked at the sandwich they brought her. It seemed to be ok but for good measure she smelled it as well. She wondered had Am poisoned it. She took a small bite just to be on the safe side and waited for a few minutes to finish eating the rest to make sure she did not have an adverse reaction in case it was poisoned. She did the same with the water.

After eating the sandwich, she laid on the floor, trying to gather her strength. Persephone knew what was to come was war. Riley will do everything to rescue his girls this she knew. Now fear tried to settle in her heart. What if something happened to him? What if after all of this she gained her daughter only to lose her father? She loved Riley, she needed him. Riley made her feel like she was the center of his world. The love he showed her, his kindness, his loyalty, she could not allow anything to happen to him. She would kill Trey herself if she had to.

The next day the house was very quiet. No one brought her anything to eat or came to see if she was alive. Just after midday the door opened and Trey walked in with two of his men. Behind him was Amaryllis holding Phoenix and Carmen followed them. Persephone became frighten that Trey had discovered Carmen had been helping her. She rose from the floor never taking her eyes off of her daughter. She hesitated to move not wanting to provoke him. Trey began to laugh, "It's funny how you don't have any smart ass comments now that your little bitch bastard is here."

"Don't call her that Trey" Persephone said in a very low voice.

"Did that upset you? The funny thing is how you think that she is important or that by any chance you will get out of here. I just bought her down here so you can see her because tomorrow morning she will be on someone's doorstep."

Amaryllis laughed hard as she handed off the baby to Carmen who looked very scared. "Take her I am trying tired of her drooling on me ugh." Carmen walked out of the room with the baby and made sure to make eye contact with Persephone.

"Trey;" Persephone pleaded, "Just drop her off at the house where you took me from. Her father will take of her. You won't have to see her or him ever. I promise to stay here put. You can do anything you like to me but please just send her home. Don't you have a heart, don't you have any compassion?"

"My heart died when I was young and I didn't bother to try and find it bitch so stop trying. As for your daughter, I don't just want you to suffer, I want the white boy to suffer too." He said.

"Why what has Riley or my daughter ever done to you?" she asked.

"He touched you, but I'm about to fix that and erase him from your skin. When I'm done with you there will be no trace of him anywhere." He motioned for his men to take Persephone. "Make sure that she scrubs everywhere and I do mean everywhere."
