"What'd you do with them?"

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

He halted his actions for a fracture of a second, planning his next move I'm sure.

I took that second as my opportunity to strike, before he retaliates. I stepped in from of him and laid my hands on my hips. I meant business. I want to know where the hell my parents are, and I want to know now. Jesse's eyes widened at my forceful actions, encouraging me to keep going.

I looked him in the eyes and held his gaze. "I'm gonna ask you this again. And I'm going to say it slowly. Where. Are. They."

Jesse raised his eyebrows, looking through my facade. "Ava, move."

"No." His eyes became gradually darker.

"You're going to move." I tried to mimic his defiant gaze.

He sighed, closed his eyes then looked at me. "Fine. You asked for it."

And with that he laid his hands on my hips, gripping them..Hard. And lifted me up, until my feet were off the ground. I yelped at the sudden movement. Jesse turned a full ninety degrees and laid me on the floor, back on my feet, somewhat gently.

I felt shocked. I felt flushed. My plan had failed, and in the most embarrassing way possible. He treated me as if I was a kid. All I want to know is what happened to my parents. What did he do to them? Did he...kill them.. Like he did to Tyler's aunt.

If he did kill them, or hurt them in any way, that means he's dangerous. "No he's not", my conscience reasoned, "if he was, imagine what he would have done to you by now."

Jesse got back to packing. He was almost done with his clothes, which were already minimal. All he has is a white thermal undershirt. Black T-shirts, and black jeans.

I knew I was running out of time. I assumed he was going to leave, and probably never come back. And I just had to know if my..Kevin's parents are safe. They are terrible people. But if they are hurt..Or worse killed, Jesse is a murderer and should be in jail, not loose.

My conscience scoffed, "As if you'll ever turn him in..."

I shook my head and opened my mouth to speak. "Jesse..Please...Did you...Kill them?", I whispered softly, looking down, afraid of his answer.

He turned abruptly facing me. I finally decided to look up at him. He looked so..Cold..So unemotional. His depicted no feeling whatsoever.

"I told you when I first met you...I saved you."
