Melwood's Family

Chapter 23

Melissa's POV

A parents worst nightmare is when your kid is in trouble and you can't help them. I was living that nightmare right now. My daughter was bleeding out right in front of me and I couldn't help her.

2 HOURS EARLIER

I heard gunshots coming closer to Anna and I. We ran into the bathroom and hid. The door to the trailer opened and I couldn't do anything. I recognized the voice coming from outside the bathroom door and sighed in relief. It was Chris. He found us and came for us.

Chris: Thank god I found you. The shooter is close to the trailers, but we can make it out.

Melissa: Okay let's go.

We headed to the front of the warehouse and were out when we got outside I noticed that Anna was no longer behind us.

Chris: Where is Anna?

Melissa: I don't know she was right behind us.

Anna's POV

I was right behind my mom when I was pulled back and a gun was put to my head. Whoever pulled me covered my mouth and then dragged me across the warehouse into a tiny room. The room was dark and was filled with costumes. There was dust everywhere and little to no light. There was one other person in the room, but I couldn't make out his face or body. I was shoved over to him and then it went blank. I came to tied up against the back of whoever was with me and our kidnapper across the room.

Jack: Are you okay?

Anna: Jack?

Jack: Yeah. Yeah it's me Jack.

Anna: Are you okay?

Jack: I am not shot so I thin I am okay.

Anna: It's great to hear that.

Kidnapper: It is great to see that you both are awake.

Jack: What do you want with us?

Kidnapper: I need information and she has it.

Anna: So why do you need him?

Kidnapper: He is leverage to use against you.

Chris's POV

Mel and I made it outside and the cops were already there.

Chyler: Melissa are you okay?

Melissa: No Chyler I am not okay! Sorry. Sorry. Anna we can't find her. One minute she was behind us and the next she wasn't.

Chyler: Great that means two of us are stuck in there.

Chris: Two.

Chyler: Yeah Jack is also missing. The cops know and are working to get them out. I will tell them we are missing them her too.

Melissa: You have to call our moms and tell them to go to the hotel and not leave. If they targeted us there is a chance they will target our families too.

Chris: I will notify the girls security detail as well.

Anna's POV

I was still in the dark, musky closet, but I was tied to a chair.

Kidnapper: Where are your sisters!

Anna: I do not know.

Kidnapper: I will ask one more time. Where are your sisters!

Anna: I do not know.

He hit me in the face with his gun and the darkness just grew darker. I woke up and this time we were in a different room. This room was brighter and had fewer costumes. My eye was swollen shut from the gun he hit me with, but I was not shot so I was okay.

Kidnapper: Rise and shine Little One.

Anna: What do you want?

Kidnapper: I do not want to hurt you. I want to hurt your mother.

Anna: My mom is dead.

Kidnapper: Your other mom Little One.

Anna: What do you want with her?

Kidnapper: She has people who are special to me close to her.

Anna: And who would that be? Oh are you the ex-husband of one of her sisters.

Kidnapper: We loved each other once.

That is when it dawned on me.

Anna: Hello Blake.

Melissa's POV

Chris just told me that the girls and our mothers are under 24-hour protection. That was some good news. It didn't give me a lot of hope, but it was something

Anna's POV

Blake: You finally figured it out.

Anna: I'm not insanely stupid. To be honest it wasn't that hard.

I got slapped in the face again, but it didn't knock me out.

Anna: So what do you want with my mom?

Blake: I saw that Melissa recently shared some exciting news.

Anna: You mean about how you abused her and then made her act like nothing was wrong.

Blake: I never abused your mom. She made up those accusations so she could gain fame.

Anna: You son of a bitch. You beat my mom and then you got away with it.

Blake: Nevermind that. I want to know about the baby inside your mom.

Anna: What do you want with it?

I almost got him to admit what he wanted with the baby when I heard over the loud speaker.

LAPD: LAPD. We are giving you five minutes to get out of there before we come in.

Blake: Looks like you guys are running out of time. I will just tell you instead. The baby in your moms stomach. I want it.

Anna: Why do you want the baby?

Blake: See Melissa always said she didn't want to have kids. Then she got remarried, and adopted four girls, but not only did she adopt four girls. Might I add for fame. She got pregnant, too. I want that baby to raise it as our own. I am simply taking back what is mine.

Anna: It is not yours and will never be.

Blake: I knew you would say that. That is why I brought your dear old boyfriend to.

Anna: Please don't hurt him.

Blake: Too late now.

I heard another gunshot go off and I knew the bullet was in Jack.

Blake: Now come on lovebirds. We have to go show mommy and daddy what beautiful art we have made.

We were dragged out of the room we were in and outside through a metal door. I could hear guns being loaded and then I saw him. I saw Jack. His side was bleeding heavily and he was turning paler by the second.

Blake: If you shoot I shoot her. Melissa and Chris's sweet little daughter. She really is beautiful isn't she.

Melissa: Blake if you touch her!

Blake: What Melissa. What if I touch her you kill me. This is your fault anyway.

Chris: How is it her fault?

Blake: We wouldn't be in this situation if she would have just shut up and stayed silent when I told her too. He would not be dying if it was for her. All your girls would be safe. Your sweet girls let me see if I remember right. Avery, Anna, Ashton, and Alexa. Those are their names right? It's sad really. They really are a great looking group of girls. So sad. So sad. From what I have heard one more scare won't really do much harm will it.

Chris's POV

Blake walked out of the warehouse and he had shot Jack. Apparently what he did was because of Melissa. He finally got done with his bad guy monologue and then he shot her. Guns were blazing. I watched him get shot multiple times in the chest and there she was. Motionless.
