Audrey's POV (It's been awhile right?)----------
Right now........I don't even know why I don't have millions of tears flowing my cheeks at this moment......After soo long of wishing that I could just speak to them or even see them again, I would feel some relief.........but now that's changed.............I wanted to hug them as hard as I could, tell them how much it's been hard on the both of us, not knowing where they were and figuring out why our lives are constantly being tormented by the people that they currently have beef with?
"It's been so long.......I-I honestly don't know what to say...." She sniffed, looking at our dad for help. I can't even imagine how she must feel right about now.......having your two daughters kidnapped most of their lives and suddenly out of no where from a miracle, they pop up through a phone call and video chat..
"It's okay Mom.........we know......." Leah responded, looking down at the phone.
"Wow, I haven't been able to actually say that word in a long time." She added with a small chuckle and wiped her eyes with the side of her right sleeve.
"I know you haven't been able to and I am truly sorry for that. I failed my job as a motherwith you two......I-I was supposed to protect you from harms way. Be there, right by your side supporting you no matter it was-"
"Mom, stop this wasn't your fault-" Leah stopped her but she responded back immediately.
"Leah, it is my fault...........me and your father done very bad things in our lives right before you were born........and now karma has hit us.....I wished none of this wouldn't have happened...........I regret everything I've done...." She began shaking her head while tears ran down her face like a waterfall."Mom, w-we don't care about any of that stuff right now. We need to see you guys......it-it's been long enough, right?"
"Leah," Our dad pitched in, clearing his throat...
"It's still not safe......" He said, making Taylor stand up and come towards the phone...
"Actually.........it may be safe........" She said, making the both of them exchange looks.
"Yeah, its me Taylor. Your enemy's daughter......Look-I know in your heads you're thinking why the hell am I here .......well I'm here to tell you that, I came to my senses and now I'm basically doing what you two are doing right now........changing things around the right way before it's too late...........and if you give me a chance, I can help Leah and Audrey escape from this mess and get to you as soon as possible.............I can see it in their eyes............they're completely lost without you guys.........they want answers so all the stress they're holding onto can finally let go.........they've suffered enough and that suffering should now come to an end.........." She looked at Leah and then at me......I heard my dad exhale deeply before he spoke again. "I appreciate you for all the things that you're doing to help them but I can't risk them getting hurt by your parents and along with the rest of those psychotic people out there who wants to hurt us--"
"No, " Mom cut him off."As much as I don't want to say but, she's right Mike...............it's time this all comes to a final end........I'm tired of running and hiding..."
"But what about Grace-""Grace doesn't scare me anymore.......I'm done letting her have control of my life......this has been happening for way too long........I want my daughters back....." She expressed with a lot of force, making me raise an eyebrow.
"Are you sure about this Andrea?" He questioned her."If I wasn't before, I am now." She answered him, making me think of something.
"Wait," I said, making everyone look at me."Don't we have to wait until I finish school? It's my senior year and we only have 2 months until graduation....."
"Yeah, you're right. You need to graduate in order for you to go the college......"
No shit Leah..
"I guess we're gonna have to wait until then." Dad said.
"Can you guys hold off that long? I know things are completely insane but you have to hang on a little longer. From now until that very day you walk across that stage, me and your father, along with a few other people will be planning a safe route for you guys to make it to us without any problems.....Can't risk anything happening.."Me and Leah glanced each other before we both looked down at them.
"Yeah. We can hold off....." I answered."Don't worry, I promise you two that'll this will all be over soon. And we can finally be a family again......it'll happen......just wait." Dad said, smiling at us as we both returned it.....
"Alright." We both said in unison."Can you give me the address to the place you're in right now? I-I have an idea and I think it might work.." Taylor suddenly spoke, all eyes on her.
"What do you have in mind?"
"Just trust me..." Taylor responded back, making everyone come towards the computer she had sitting infront her. Me and Leah remained on the couch.After a couple of seconds she began to speak after grabbing a piece of paper...
"Are you writing this down?"
"Yeah, yeah go ahead.""Alright, the address is 308—"
Her voice was suddenly cut off as the call ended, making me look at Leah in complete confusion. "What the hell happen?" She asked, grabbing the phone.
"I don't know it just ended out of nowhere.." I answered.
"She looked at the phone....
"That's weird........it's saying no service at the top of screen..." I pointed.
"Well I wonder why that just hap-"She stopped talking when the lights to the house cut off and everything in the house went dark, making me jump towards Tyler a little, who was still sitting on the edge next to me.
Immediately everyone began freaking out and and started yelling until Tyler shouted. "Okay, now I want to everyone to chill right where you are and calm down!"
The room went silent.
A flashlight suddenly appeared and I looked to my left to see Leah getting up, waving the phone around.
"Apparently since the lights are off, we need flashlights."
"There are some upstairs, someone come with me to get them."
"I'll go." Xavier said and she whipped out another phone and they carefully made their way towards the stairs....
Geez, how many phones does she have?Everyone else stayed where they were and waited for them to come back down...
After about a minute and a half, we all heard a knock on the front door. Making us all freeze.
"Who's at the door?" Eason whispered.
"Does it look like anyone in here knows yet genius-"
"Shh.." I hissed as I felt Tyler go pass me.
I heard the sound of gun but I couldn't really tell where he was going.Leah got up and walked behind Tyler as they both made their way towards the front door.
They started whispering for about 10 seconds before they opened the door and Tyler jumped infront of the door aimed the gun at whoever was at the door.We suddenly heard a scream and a gasp...
"Lauren?!" Leah questioned in shock.
