Tommy and Julie Together.....Forever...(A Truth comes second fan fiction)

Little killers

I am horribly sorry for the delay! Lots of family stuffs been going down recently and I haven't had the chance. Hope you like it!!

"Nooo!" Nina screamed as Jason brought he bat down with all the force he could conjure. His height didn't stop him from hitting the wooden object in her neck knocking her to the ground and releasing Jules.
I ran toward my wife and picked her up checking to see if she was OK. She was crying slightly and coughing but she seemed to be alright so I set her down steadily on a chair next to me. I glanced up to hear muffled thumps as Jason repeatedly brought the bat down onto Nina's skull, watching curiously from behind him was Freddie. He smiled when the head split, oozing with blood and mushed parts of brain.

My heart beat calmed and I glanced over to Julie who was wearily watching as her oldest child killed his first meal. A small smile danced across her face before she sat back and sighed rubbing her swollen belly carefully. I walked over to her and rubbed speaks of blood from her cheeks and kissed her lips softly.

"Are you OK?" I whispered quietly.

She only nodded in response. Scratches ran across her arms and face and a heavy bruise was forming on her arm. I rubbed it gently and she hissed out in pain.

"Freddie grab me a pack of ice out of the freezer."

"The ice doesn't come in packets though dad!" He replied grumpily.

"So grab a handful and wrap it in a towel from the cupboard! Honestly boy use that head of yours!" I snapped.

He quietly obeyed and ran to me trying to not slip on the bloodied floor. I grabbed it from him and pressed it against Julie's arm and rubbed her bump steadily. Small, shallow breaths escaped from her lips, a weary look was given to me when I asked if she was OK.

Steadily I wrapped my arms under her shoulders and legs and I tried to lift her from the kitchen chair. I spent most of my life lifting people of various sizes but I found that it was harder than I originally anticipated. I knew that I had to be careful for her and the babies sake so it was a harder task as I couldn't just drag her across the ground like I would with anyone else.

Jason and Freddie both helped by making sure that there was nothing I could trip over and set up the bed for their mother before I set her down to rest. I sent Freddie to collect some water bottles and the brownies that Julie had made earlier to keep her sugar levels up to give her energy. Jason on the other hand was sent to keep an eye on Travis in case he woke up, only for him to come back a few moments later to inform me that Travis was most likely dead.

"What do you mean he's dead?"

"He's not moving, or breathing. You told me that means they're dead!" Jason glared at me when I pushed past him and went to the slaughter room as I called it.

I checked the pulse on Travis to quickly discover that Jason was right and he was indeed dead. I looked down at his chest and noticed the knife that I had given to Jason earlier was now sticking out of his chest.

"That little shit..." I muttered to myself before heading into the kitchen to find Freddie stuffing a brownie into his mouth looking at Nina's body.

"Dad! I'm sorry...I was hungry..." Freddie hung his head in shame at the fact that I had caught him eating the brownies.

"That's not what I'm angry about Freddie...what happened to Travis? And you have one chance to tell me honestly before I loose my shit..." I crouched down to his height, the smell of iron and blood filled my nostrils from Nina lying beside me.

"I'm sorry, he woke up while you and Jason went to help mum and...I panicked, he started kicking and thrashing so I took the knife and I threw it at him, just like you taught me..."

Part of me wasn't surprised, Freddie had always reminded me of my younger self, eager to make the first kill. Pride overcame me and I smiled and embraced Freddie who tenses at my rare touch. I never embraced my children unless they had done something to deserve it. And today both of my boys had become men.
