Deception

Chapter 44

Turns out we actually known MW as babies...
Granted we don't remember much about that but she remembered more and decided to confront our mom about...
Johnny decided to go check out the treehouse stable yes its in the trees no I am not going to explain it right now...
So anyhow there I was still trying to get Mallory she said she break my arm if I keep calling her that...
Apparently she doesn't like her name...
So there I was still in her room on the chair talking to her trying to find out what was actually in that locket that had her so happy and normal looking...
............................................................................
"Come on what's the big deal?
Besides you know if I really wanted to get my hands on it I could." Cam said with a wink and smile.
"Try it and we'll see what happens." MW had is swiss army knife and fliked the blade out pointing it at him.
He searched his pockets.
When and how did she get it.
He looked at her puzzled by the fact she took it without his knowledge.
"Oh relax Cam I'm not as swift as you in picking pockets.
I took it when you dropped it back at the trail." She smirked and contiplated on giving it back but was surprised he wasn't trying to get it back, he was still frantically searching his pockets.
"Umm... Just hold on to that." He rushed out of her room.
She just shrugged and pocketed the knife.
Looking once more at the locket her mind shifted back to the last time she saw the boys....
............................................................................
"Don't stay out to late." Elly yelled from the doorway while Mallory clung to her leg waving goodbye.
Deep down little Mallory felt something was wrong...
The night before, her and her mom saw a hooded man that practically hissed as he spoke.
She even swore his eyes glowed like fire.
She heard them say something about destroying Elenore Black's home and even destroying the rest of the homes.
He asked for the number of children.
"How many children like your beautiful daughter reside in the camp?" He gripped hold of Mallory's face harshly turning her head side to side exsaminig her like she was live stock.
"About thrity or so all being trained at age two so you have kids with knowledge on self defense that you can mold to you liking.
As for her, she's the Devil's child not mine." Wendy's words sliced through the tarified girl like a knife.
"Okay...
Oh do the Black's have any children?" He hissed as he released Mallory.
"Yeah twins.
I don't care what you do with them or her for that matter." She said as she harshly grabbed the six year olds tiny wrist and drug her away.
"MW are you okay sweety?" Elly knelt down by the child who was still looking off in the distance after the boys and their father.
Elly gave her the nick name because she didn't see the child as a Mallory.
As she looked up and saw Elly's kind face she wanted to tell her about last night but she didn't know how.
"Can I go play with the other kids?" MW asked.
"Go ahead just be back before dark and don't wander off to far with the big kids." Elly said kissed and squeezed her before letting go.
She watched the little six year old run off to the play area...
Out of breath she told her little friends and some little bit older kids they were in danger and they all needed to go hide at the ruins.
Sure enough after all was settled the kids one by one returned unharmed physically but emotionally seeing their homes and family destroyed was enough to shock them nobody said it was MW who saved them they were all to upset and scared...
............................................................................
"MW?...
Come in what is it?" Elly was sitting in her chair next to the fireplace reading her bible.
"Elly.
I...
I knew about the ambush.
I was with my mother.
She didn't care what that creature did to me and the boys.
But I was to afraid to say anything I was six I didn't know how to tell you.
When I asked to go play I was doing so to get the kids out and hidden at the ruins." A stray tear streaked down MW's cheek.
All Elly could see was the beautiful six year old girl standing infront of her not the woman who grew up with horrible parenting and nearly killed her boys just weeks ago.
"MW...
You were just a baby.
You didn't know any better...
Wait your the reason all the children were spared?!" Elly was both shocked and happy at the same time.
She wanted to hug the girl but refrained considering all MW had put her boys through.
"Yes...
Thats why I didn't beg to go with Sebastian and the boys." MW said as she fiddled with the locket.
"I've been wandering what happened to that." Elly walked over and exsamined the locket.
"I saw it on the rack next to the door that day.
I remember hearing him say he was going to destroy the homes.
I knew how important the locket was with ur dad and brother along with the boys picture." MW said as she watched Elly rub her thumb gently over the pictures.
"Not only are they in this picture ,your there too with the boys." Elly said as she cupped MW's face in her hands.
MW just sobbed.
Elly couldn't resist not holding her.
"Forgive me child I was young and foolish putting all my anger into a precious child that longed to be loved."
Elly said as she sqeezed the grown woman who melted in her embrace.
"Awe...
I knew you had a heart." Cam smirked from the door way but instantly regret cuz Johnny slapped him in the head hard for his comment.
"Ow...
You know when I end up in the hospital for brain damge I'm blaming the two of you." Cam pointed at MW and Johnny.
"Why are you spying on us by the way?" MW inquired.
"Yeah spy." Johnny said as he sucked on a pice of candy.
He went for another when Elly slapped his hand.
"Who raised you?...
Never mind don't answer that.
By the way Johnny that candy isn't your typical candy its got a little something extra in it.
Usually we don't eat it." Elly was smirking.
By now he stopped sucking on it but just held it in his mouth with a very concerned look on his face.
Elly tossed Cam one and handed MW to look at.
"Eew gross spit it out." MW slapped in the head and he swallowed in stead.
"What did just ingest?" he looked around at everyone as they held back their chuckles.
"In some cultures there consider a delicacy.
But what ever the outside cositansy is I wouldn't say its your typical candy." Cam said as he probed the candy.
"Hey candy forensic what did I eat?!" Johnny insisted.
"Well remember that time in the shower you screemed like a girl?" Cam chuckled.
As Johnny gave him a death glare.
"Yeah well it was a big black spider the size of a mouse.
I wasn't expecting it.
What about it?" Instantly he turned green.
"Yeah well Jordan put it there thats why I opt out on taking my shower first. Anywho I think you ate his cousin." Cam made a disscusted face.
"Or you ate a cocroach." MW showed him her candy.
Johnny bolted out of the room to go throw up.
"So with the kids around why do you have these discusting things?" Cam inquired as they handed back the big candy.
Johnny returned leaning against the door frame in discuss.
"Think its all out including last nights meal." He gaged a little.
They heard a tap on the window.
"Expecting someone?" Cam gave a questioning look.
Elly opened the shutter to revieal a beautiful owl.
She opened  the window in the owl came landing on her shoulder and nuzzled her head.
"Its owl candy.
Besides like Cam said people can eat it too.
Now Cam I do believe we were all wandering why you were spying on us girls." Elly reminded.
"Oh yeah almost forgot...
MW when you...
Umm...
Picked up my thing you didn't by any chance pick up my cell phone I didnt chuck into the lake like Gabe said to do." Cam asked.
He could hear Johnny breathing heavier.
"You mean that cell phone you refuse to put any security on so any freak off the street could pick it up and start stalking people we know?!
That cell phone?!" Johnny had ahold of Cam's shirt pulling him close.
They were practically nose to nose.
Johnny grew concerned for the team even Kay ironically.
"Yeah that one have you seen it?" Cam asked nonchalant and smiled.
That alone annoyed Johnny as he shoved Cam when he left go of his shirt.
"Great now we need to go on a crazy search for your crappy cell phone." He took hold of Cam by the back of his shirt and drug him out.
As Cam mouthed the words help and smirked.
"Go with them.
Make sure he dosent kill Cam.
Also make sure to stay away from the trail check the garden hopefully that's where he lost it."Elly instucted MW...
