Deception

Chapter 52

Where should I start...
Well we are now in a what did Griff call it?...
Oh yeah thats right a Demon Hub...
Why not just call it what it is?...
Hell!...
I mean come on this is nuts!...
What's next?...
We end up in the Jurassic Period?!...
Granted that would be interesting, I know Cam would get a kick out of it till we run into the deadly dinos...
Anyhow getting off track....
Turns out Griff's sound barrier sent us into a so called time warp landing us in the 1700's?...
Well whatever eara has saloons along with gun toting, filthy cowboys and Indians...
Our crazy uncle is here along with that backstabber Mack...
Granted the backstabing was for MW...
Oh so Kay is here too, she's kinda freeking out but so far so good she's not exactly in shock yet...
She is every so often talking to herself and freeks out when anyone touches her when she's off gaurd...
I think she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown...
Griff is no longer any help the kid is totally afraid...
Octavia is apparently free with animal friends still haven't gotten a clear answer on what that even means...
Last and worse they took Cam away from me...
Not sure where or why, let alone what they are doing to him but I swear if they hurt him in anyway they are going to pay...
............................................................................
"I don't get it, how at a time like this you can be writing?" MW peared over his shoulder to get a glimpse of his journal.
"I don't know? It calms me.
Once when my Dad after his many beatings, he locked me in that room..."
"The one thats sealed off?
Whats in there?" MW cut in.
"Nothing, but sweat, blood, and tears.
Anyhow as I was saying, our Dad locked me in there for a month or more.
Cam would always sit by the door when I get locked in there and we talk through the door but this time was different...
............................Past..............................
The boys just turned sixteen.
"Johnny you will learn to mind me!" Sebastian smacked Johnny accross the face.....
Johnny was upset how Sebastian was making Cam stay with the trick he couldn't get out of, it was the Houdini trick, the one where he's upside down and chained.
"Dad your gonna kill him!
He can't stay like that much longer!" Johnny pleaded as he watched Cam struggle, his face was turning purplish red.
"He almost has it.
Don't you Cam?" Sebastian's lips curled in a smile as he watched Cam struggle.
He grabbed hold of Johnny by his shirt collar to stop him from going to the rope and lowering Cam.
"Dad...
I...
Don't...
Please get me down!" Cam was starting to gasp for air and panic, his eyes stinging with reversed tears going back in his eyes instead of out.
Johnny wasn't going to wait for Cam to pass out or their dad to grow a heart he ripped away so hard that his shirt collar tore in Sebastian's hand leaving a brush burn/cut on Johnny's neck he didn't even notice the sting of it.
Cam was already unconscious by the time Johnny could lower him gently to the ground.
Sebastian didn't do anything while Johnny rushed back to Cam he shook him trying to wake him,.
He looked up at Sebastian to do something to help but he just just stood there watching.
Over come by anger and fear for Cam's life Johnny rushed at Sebastian knocking him over to get the keys so he could free Cam from the chains that where mostlikly keeping him from getting air properly.
Apparently Johnny knocked out Sebastian or could have been all the liquor in his blood but either way he didn't get up right away after Johnny knocked him over.
All Johnny cared about was getting Cam breathing again luckly he learned CPR.
It seemed to take longer than it should, he was about to press harder where he might crack a rib but instantly he heard a gasp.
He looked over at Cam who was just lying there breathing heavy and coughing with each breath as he rolled to his side towards Johnny who had tears streaming down his face.
The grone of their Dad waking made Johnny feel flushed, he knew for sure he was going to beat the crap out of him.
Sure enough he stood up looked at Cam who was still gasping for air.
Johnny tried to back away but he ended up against the window.
"You just never seem to listen..."
"He was dying!" Johnny snapped causing Sebastian to slap him across the face.
He took hold of Johnny by the front of his hair and slammed his head against the window cracking the glass giving Johnny a blinding pain.
Johnny could hear Cam yelling at their Dad as he fell to the floor.
As he blinked and tried to focus on Cam to make sure he was still okay.
He saw his dad walk over and kick Cam in the ribs.
It must have been the adrenaline that kicked in makeing Johnny see clearly as he got up and rushed at Sebastian but he just missed him and Sebastian was the one to send Johnny to the floor again crashing hard into Cam.
"You too are going to learn who's boss around here." Sebastian grabbed Johnny by the hair dragging him to that dreaded room.
Johnny tried as he might to break free, he knew once in there he wasn't going to come out not to mention the punishment instore.
He tossed Johnny in like a ball, his head slamming off the ground Half knocking him out.
Johnny could hear chains scraping the ground the sound alone was enough to make him go half in shock it reminded him of that place when he and Cam were kidnapped.
"I installed these the last time you thought you were a tough guy and could take me." Sebastian said as he clamped the iron collar around Johnny's neck.
Johnny tried pleading with him but Sebastian contued cuffing him till he was pinned to the ground and couldn't move.
All Johnny could do was close his eyes and pray for it to be over quickly.
Outside the door to the room Cam was pounding on the door with intent of breaking it in.
Johnny could hear Cam screaming and crying he just kept his found on Cam's voice....
Cam backed away from the door as it opened, so fast that he tripped falling to the floor, he kept scooting himself back til he had no where else to go.
Sebastian squatted down in front of Cam who was hugging his knees close to his chest and trying to hide his face his knukles bloody from pounding on the door.
"Cam look at me!" Sebastian said sternly.
Cam looked up resting his chin on his knees but looked pass his dad, the door was still open and he could see Johnny chained up and passed out
Sebastian looked back with a sly smirk he almost forgot to remove it when he looked back at Cam who was about to get up.
He wanted...
No he needed to get to Johnny.
"Don't even think about it." Sebastian grabbed hold of Cam's arm with such a grip that made Cam wince in pain.
"He is staying in there for a long time. You are not allowed near that door, if I catch you so much of an inch of that door I will give you the same punishment as Johnny." Sebastian didn't yell.
With Cam he didn't need too the boy was easily frighten of him, which was an odd pleasure no father should have.
But Johnny would knock Sebastian flat without a second thought.
After a few weeks Cam got enough courage to talk to Johnny granted, their dad wasn't home at the time.
"Cam you shouldn't risk it." Johnny's voice was horse from all his crying.
"Here I got you some paper and a pen we can write to eachother, slipping our notes under the door." Cam said as he pushed the small stack of paper under and the pen under the door.
"It won't work he'll catch us." Johnny sighed.
"When I tap on the door three times means its safe to send the note.
He has to use the bathroom and sleep so we'll have plenty of chances." Cam assured.
...........................Presentish..........................
"Thats horrible." Kay gasped as she listened to Johnny talk about their past.
"Yeah well only because of Cam's idea of being secret penn pals did I stay sane.
I can assure you though I never stopped fighting with my Dad.
Even to the very end I fought with him Cam and I were nineteen when he died.
You know sure we could have stopped preforming and keeping my identity hidden but I think a small part of us were afraid.
I mean come on it was literally pounded into us that we are never to be seen together and I was nothing more than Cam's shadow.
We kinda became like those elephants at the circus, they use heavy chains on the baby than one day a sting when its an adult it could easily break the tread but the poor creature doesn't know that." Johnny explained as a tear escaped.
"It actually amaizes me that with what you been through you didn't turn out to be a psycho." Kay said as she looked at at Johnny with such pitty.
"Yeah well I had Cam." Johny smiled that award winning smile.
"He was my moral compass." Johnny shrugged and smirked as he turned back to the bars and trying to wander what was happening to Cam.
They were all startled when the main door creeked open.
"Your next Johnathan." Their uncle sneered as he aprouched their cell with his shotgun raised.
Johnny felt the same fear he felt every time his dad would come near.
"It was you!" Johnny's eyes grew wide with fear.
"Took you long enough." Alex slammed him in the gut with the but of his gun sending Johnny to his knees gasping for air.
He put the cuffs on Johnny and drug him out the door.
"Wait is Johnny saying all this time Alexander was Bash?" MW said as she stood holding onto the bars of the cell staring at the door like she would get xray vision and see through.
"That would make sence." MW hung her head in shame.
"What would?" Kay said as she placed a gentle hand on MW.
"Bash wouldn't have easily left Elly no matter how hard Gabe insisted.
Their love was too strong.
He always asked me to come with practically begged me to join him and the boys on their walks.
Even tho he told me I was theirs and loved.
I saw something in his eyes that last day it reminded me of that creature my mother spoke with.
I just thought I was afraid because I just was.
He probably play acted as long as he could with the boys but eventually he just couldn't and Johnny being so thick headed was enough to send Alexander so mad that he just resorted to his usual cold self.
Explains why he would just stand there watching Cam die as hung upside down like Johnny just told us." MW said as tears streamed down her face.
Kay just listend and gently stroking her back.
"Kay...
That monster tried to destroy us both tying to turn us against Cam who only tried to make things better and keep peace.
When he failed with Johnny leaving them, faking his death....
Oh my gosh!....
Kay what if all those years their real dad was alive!?
Than when Alexander needed an out he killed their dad making it look like an accident!?" MW was shaking with her new realization Kay and Griff helped the hysterical MW to the cot so she could sit.....
Meanwhile Johnny was lead to a building that looked way to familiar and out of place.
"Why his the Archive here!?" Johnny tried to pull away but the drone like men hauling him in had to good of ahold.
"Johnny you should know by now people like Jones and myself thrive on fear and what better way to stike fear into a grown man's heart than bringing them back to their most feared place." Alexander sneered as he took hold of Johnny by the back of his kneck and led him to that horrid room of his childhood......
