Jakes POV

It has already been a whole month since my son was taken from me. Ray is still trying to find him, but I don't even know he's alive at this point.

I hate to think that, but as the days keep going and the hours keep ticking I'm losing faith we'll get him back.

Piper is having a really hard time with this. She won't really talk or anything. She's just a zombie walking around. She just has a blank expression on her face and now she buries herself in school work and books. Before all this it was a battle to get her to do any of her work... I wish it was still a battle because it means Henry would still be here.

Me and my wife aren't really talking any more after what happened between us.

FLASHBACK

"Mom... Mom?" Piper asked.

My wife, Siren, just sat there blanked face picking at her food.

It's been a week since Henrys disappearance and she hasn't even acknowledge Piper.

I understand she's upset, but I lost him too and she wont even acknowledge her other child who still needs her.

After dinner she went upstairs to our room while me and Piper cleaned.

"Dad?" Piper asked.

"Yes sweetie." I said.

"... I wish I was taken instead of Henry." She said.

I stopped washing the dishes to look at her with shock on my face. She was looking down at the plate she was drying.

I put the dish and sponge down and wiped my hands on my jeans. I leaned down to Pipers height and put my hand under her chin and lifted up her head. She was crying.

"Piper... Why do you wish you were taken instead of Henry?" I asked worried.

"Dad... Look at Mom. If I was taken instead of Henry she wouldn't be acting like this." She said crying looking away from me

I was in shock and didn't know what to do. I can't believe my baby girl wishes it was her instead of Henry. I don't want either of my kids to be taken or hurt. And now that I lost my only Son my only daughter wishes it was her.

"Sweetie... Listen to me." She turned back to face me. "If it was you instead of Henry she would he acting the same way. We don't want to lose any of you kids... Ever. You hear me?" I said sternly.

She nodded her head yes. I stood up and pulled her into a hug. Piper cried into my shirt and I was crying silently while caressing her head.

After crying for a while she pulled back and wiped her tears and I wiped mine

"I'm going to go lay down Dad. You should go rest too." Piper said.

"I will baby. Go rest." I said.

"I love you Dad." I smiled at her.

"I love you too baby." I said back.

She ran up the stairs. I looked back at the dishes and decided I need to do something about this.

I went up the stairs to Sirens and my room. I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed drinking Whiskey. I walked in there and tore the bottle from her hands.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING?!" Siren yelled at me standing up from the bed trying to grab the bottle.

"No... What they hell you doing?" I said with anger in my voice. "I was just down stairs and guess what Piper said... She said she wishes she was the one taken instead of Henry." I said getting angrier with each word that came out of my mouth.
