Getting it Together

A Plan Badly Failed

TW: attempted escape, knife mention, bone breaking, breaking glasses, crying

"Are you sure about this, Damien?" Logan asks again. "Patton could really hurt you, I could be the one-"

"It has to be me," Damien says firmly. "You're faster than me, and Virgil and Remus can't do it."

Logan nods. "Okay. Okay..."

"I'll be fine," Damien says, sounding more like he was trying to convince himself than Logan. "Roman will protect me, and when we're done we can get cake."

Logan sighs, pulling Damien into a hug as he heads to the door. "Wait three minutes for me to get downstairs and for Roman to get the knife drawer open."

Damien nods, letting out a small sigh as he hid his face behind his hands. A few minutes passed, and Damien wraps his hand in his sheet, before punching the mirror over the desk he shared with Virgil.

The mirror shatters and Damien hurriedly grabs a big shard, beginning to reflect the light outside in hopes of signaling someone. As he hears footsteps running up the stairs, Damien braces himself.

"Damien! Virgil! Are you-" Patton shouts, cutting off as Damien signaled faster, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw Logan beginning to run down the dirt road.

"Damien, stop now!" Patton grabs Damien's wrist and pulls him away from the window,

Damien crying out as he struggled to keep the mirror shard in his hand. Patton's face grew red with rage as he moved one of his hands to the top of Damien's shoulder and furiously jerked. Damien screams as his arm broke, the shard falling out of his hand, which Patton grabbed.

"What the hell were you doing?" Patton screams. "After everything I've done for you? How could you do this to your own father!"

"You're not my dad." Damien sobs, holding his broken arm as tears streamed down his face.

"I should have done worse after that stunt Damien! You want to signal out the window? Fine! I'll break both your arms next time!" Patton looked over at the bed, suddenly realizing Virgil was nowhere to be seen.

Damien let out a pained cry as Patton grabbed his broken arm and pulled him up by it. Patton threw him on the bed and quickly left the room.

"Roman!" Damien screamed, wailing. "Roman please! It hurts!"

Patton raced down the stairs and grabbed Jason's car keys, running outside and getting into the van. Putting the car into drive, he looked down both sides of the road and started speeding right, the road that leads to the closest house.

Logan glances over his shoulder every few seconds as he ran, his heart beating out of his chest.

A van careened around a corner in the road and Logan cries out in fear. One of the cuts on his back reopened as he tried to speed up, blood staining his shirt.

The car stops and Patton jumps out, grabbing Logan's shoulder and throwing it to the ground. Logan cries out as he's slammed into the ground, the reopened cut stinging.

"Really bunny? After all of this, you try to run away from me? Try and make our son help you?" Patton glares at Logan, pressing his shoe down on Logan's stomach to make sure he couldn't squirm away. "I'd like to see you try to run away again."

Patton grabs Logan's leg and pulls him back to the car, ignoring the small yelps and cries of pain as Logan's back gets more scratched up by some stray rocks and sticks. Opening the toolbox in the trunk, Patton grabs Jason's sledgehammer and steadily holds it over Logan's leg.

"No, no, no, Patton please! Patton I'm so-" Logan's apology cuts off as Patton slams the sledgehammer down, shattering the bone.

Logan screams until his voice breaks, crying as Patton sat down and pulled Logan's torso onto his lap, gently carding his fingers through Logan's hair and shushing him quietly.

Logan wails in pain, and Patton takes his glasses, quickly snapping them in two.

"There," Patton says happily. "Now you won't be able to see any cars passing by our window trying to tempt you to leave me, bunny."

Logan only cried more.
