The Mob Girl (Yogscast Fanfic)

Chapter 16 (Finally!)

Alice's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked into the kitchen at YogTowers, I knew something was wrong as soon as I pushed that door open. But I couldn't help but see the two men holding Hannah and Sjin at knife point, I tried to scream but I noticed that the two men were THEM. The men who killed my family before my eyes, the men who forced me to kill my own baby brother and sister and who, in the end, were killed by me.

My feet kept moving forward even though I hadn't asked them to, the familier weight of my father's hatchet in right hand. I saw the fear in Hannah and Sjin's face as I kept moving towards them, casting a glance in the mirror that suddenly appered, I watched the little girl in the white dress and bare feet and fluffy brown hair and keen grey eyes creep closer to the shadows that reminded me so much of my little siblings.

Snapping my attention away from the mirror, one of THEM leaned into my face, his breath stank of alcohol and drugs but I didn't flinch.

"So little girl, we've already had your parents. And we're going to RAPE both of your precious little siblings if you don't kill them RIGHT NOW!" He yelled, I looked towards the two cowering friends who I loved like my siblings so dearly and my arms gripped the hatchet tighter and lifted against my will.

I closed my eyes as I heard the first scream and the spray of blood against my face...

Screaming, I woke up. Clutching my head and looking around, crying as Hannah and everybody else burst into the common room. My blonde friend held me tight as I sobbed and shook, and then I burst into hysterical laughter that made her flinch back but I kept a iron grip on her arms.

"I-I-I d-don't know w-why I-I thought you w-w-were g-g-going t-to b-be killed.... Y-Y-You d-d-don't k-know w-what I d-d-did H-Hannah..." I laughed, eyes wide in horror and insanity before blackness stole me back into the depths of sleep....

Hannah's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt her grip loosen on me but her words still rung in my ears.

You don't know what I did Hannah...

Looking at the hysterical sleeping figure, I backed out along with everybody, running to my office and locking the door so I could search for clues. Her name was Alice Creeperborn, not common so it would be easy to find out anything about her.

I gasped as the result loaded.

Young girl kills siblings and murderers.

Alice had killed people? I looked over the artical with horror tearing its way into my mind as I read about the little girl found in the cabin near Canadian border, hacking two murderers apart with a hatchet after they had made her kill her siblings and they themselves had killed her parents. Her statements showed obvious hysteria and also an erie calm that shook everybody that talked to her, a couple of pictures came up with the peice and I nearly cried as I looked at them.

The first was a family photo, a salt and pepper haired man, one arm holding his wife. A raven haired woman who seemed to glow with health and had the look of an all-American mother. The other hand of the man rested on the shoulder of the eldest child, around nine years old and wearing her fluffy brown hair tied into a ponytail revealing her scars across her face and an infectious grin. You could just see that she was wearing a flannel shirt and jeans as she held her two younger siblings. One boy and girl, both strikingly like their mother with raven hair and emerald eyes.

The last photo was a young girl against the criminal line up, hair falling over her scars and eye as she stood against the dark background. Dressed in what was once a pure white dress, now covered in blood, spray and patches like she'd knelt in it and that somebody had grabbed at her. The crimson liquid had gotten everywhere on this innocent child and I shut off the computer before it became anymore seared into my retinas.

Leaving my office and heading back to the common room, I found the door locked and a black ball hiding in the far corner.  Lewis walked past, and seeing my confusion to my the door was locked, he expained.

"We locked the door so she could have some peace... Hat Films are coming back today and they'll just disturb her."

"Lewis," I started, he looked at me with such affection that my heart fluttered but I kept my question in mind. "Lewis, she did something that'll haunt her forever and I need to be in there to help her try and start healing."

Nodding, he unlocked the door, letting me walk in before shutting it with a soft click, the black ball uncurled slightly, revealing tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes. Her breathing was loud and erratic, she'd obviously been crying. Seeing it was me, she ran and pulled me into the biggest, warmest hug that I'd ever gotten from her. I felt tears drip onto my shoulder and I pushed her, back, looking her straight in the eye.

"I know what you did Alice." The look on her face was pure horror and shock, and then regret, then sadness. She started to wriggle away but I held her still so I could look at her, pushing her fringe out of her eyes so that she could look at me with both soulful grey orbs.

"And I don't care. That was the past. You did what you had to and it's so clear that you hate yourself for it. Please! I want to help you, and so will everybody else when they hear it. But I want to hear your side of the events. Let me help you become that confident girl again...Let US  help you...."

Alice looked at me, tears welling up and then, a smile... A warm smile that even reached her eyes and that made me smile aswell. Another hug and then she pulled back, sitting on the sofa and gesturing for me to sit down. Staring into space, she spoke for the first time since she went 'comatose'.

"Hannah... This is my story."

And so it began....
