Origins Of Ellies Father (Joel's Backstory)

10

I had my arm wrapped around Allison.

I could here my dads voice in my head. "Kill her...kill her now!"

"No...I'm not hurting my wife." I whispered.

Allie woke up and looked at me. "Joel...what's wrong?" She asked. "My dad,he's trying to get me to kill you. I don't wanna hurt you. Your my wife. I love you too much to hurt you." I said, stroking her hair. I softly kissed her lips and placed my hand on the back of her head.

I felt her hands touch my cheeks. I love her so much.

~the next morning~

I went downstairs and saw John playing with Alanna. "Hey you two." I said. "Hi dad." John said. "Uncle!!" Alanna said. I gently kissed her forehead.

"You two hungry?" I asked. John nodded. I started making breakfast when Kathryn came downstairs. "Hey sis." I smiled. "Hi." She said. I hugged her and she hugged me back. "You sleep ok?" I asked.

"Yeah. Best sleep I've had since I got married." She said.

I continued making breakfast and when I was done I gave some to the kids and my sister. I saved a little bit for Allie for when she wakes up.

After breakfast I went upstairs to check on Allie. When I opened the door my dad was there,his knife right against her throat.

"Allie!!" I yelled. "Joel!! Help me!!" Allie shouted,tears storming down her face. John hid behind me at the sight of his mother.

"Mama!!" He yelled. "Wow Joel. I never knew you had a son. For a second I thought this would be your first kid." He said,putting his hand on her stomach. Allie struggled against his grip.

"Ah ah ah. Don't even try." He said,grabbing her arms.

"Joel...please. I'm scared." She cried. "Don't be Allie. I'll help you." I said.

My dad was about to slit her throat but I grabbed his knife and threw it away from him and grabbed Allison. I kicked him in the stomach and he fell.

John ran over and held Allison by her leg. "Mama." He sobbed. "Hey,it's ok,I'm fine. Thanks to your father." Allison said,leaning to his level. She kissed his forehead.

He jumped up and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back,gently rubbing his back.

"It's ok,son. I'm ok." She said. I rubbed Allie's back.

"I'm glad your safe,Hun." I said. "Thanks for saving me." Allison said. I kissed her lips and placed my hand on her cheek.

After we pulled back I wrapped my arm around Allie.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too."
