STRANGE

CHAPTER 22- THE KIDNAP (PART 3)

I woke up in a dimly lit room, trying to get my sight back on track, my head throbbing with pain and when I reached to touch it all I felt was dried blood on my scalp. I took in my surroundings and realized this could have been one of the bedrooms in the cabin. A bed plank at a corner of the room barely on its feet with no mattress in it, what looked to be a book shelf adjacent the bed plank but that wasnt on its feet at all as it was just like shards of broken wood swept up into its corner. A table with two chairs on each side of it sat in the middle of the room like some interrogation session just took place before I woke up.

When I was half way alert of my surroundings I started feeling terrible stings on my left shin, like termites were eating me alive, the pain was unbearable and I tried to see what was happening down there when I realized that I was tied down. My hands tied in my front and my legs tied together, from my knees down to my feet. Apparently it was the ropes that caused me so much pain, on my left foot especially.

But I dont get it, why does it hurt so much? I tried to peel off the ropes on that part of my leg which increased the pain and I realized I was seriously bruised there. And even worse, it was on my left foot that I had my sock pocket which contained my phone, and now the phone was gone too.

But how di- it was then the events of the previous night came playing back in my head like a slide show. The exchange of words, the banters, the name calling, and eventually, lights out..

*****REWINDING TO THE PREVIOUS EVENING*****

Im sorry too Eunica, for keeping this from you for so long was the last thing I heard Eunice say before I completely zoned out of my own head, I know, weird huh?

I slowly got up from the corner I was sandwiched in between the two hefty goons that were supposed to keep an eye on me. I slowly advanced towards Daven with nothing but rage in my mind and my fists curling up tightly into medium size balls of fury at my sides. Unfortunately before I could get any closer to my target, his goons obviously attempted to block my path but he put his hands up signaling them to stop and let me be.

Arrogant, cunning, fake lieing excuse of a human being, waste of sperm, useless investment, you were born by mistake let me tell you that. You lied to your best friend, cheated with his wife, and beat up his little daughter when she caught you in the act with her mother, BY ACCIDENT! His eyes widened for a split second at that last part but he quickly covered it up and regained his stamina.

You see, I knew what I meant when I told you not very many kids youre age has such retentive memory he just smirked and took more sips of his wine while looking at me.

Not many kids you say? You might be right, but what you did to my family, any kid would remember that even in their next life. Why did you do it? I mean my father, he was your best friend dammit!

Oh kids of these days, even if we sat down here from dusk till dawn explaining why what happened, happened. You still wouldnt be able to comprehend

oh yeah? Try me

Ahh, you look so adorable when you try to act all grown up, I still remember when you were younger, how you were so confused because you didnt understand why I nicknamed you kinky

oh please spare me the sappy stories, none of those memories hold any ground here right now because for you to have even thought of doing this you must have already had it preconceived in your mind all these years. You wanna know what these proves to me? Youre just a selfish bastard, not to talk of dumb-

SHUT THE HELL UP! Im the selfish one?! You really do believe that I, am, the selfish one? Youre father! Appears to be all nice and sweet and loving huh? All he ever told you was that we met in military school right?! Did he ever tell you the things I went through for him, the sacrifices I always had to make for him? Huh, did he? He was seen as the smart one, the gifted one, the handsome one, all the girls always went for him, and even when I do get one for myself the moment she was introduced to Lawrence, poof! She was gone just like that. Heck he was even voted most likely to succeed. I see now he never told you the downsides he went through and I, thinking he was my best friend, made a hell lotta sacrifices just to get him through it but what did he ever do for me? Thats right he did no-god-damn-thing. And then the one good thing that happened to me he had to take away from me. Your mother. Thats right, your mother. You think they just met in high school or college, talk for a couple months and then hit it off with each other falling in love and bla bla bla like you watch in your dumb teenage movies? Well let me burst your bubble kinky, no, it did not happen that way, I got to your mum first, I met her first, I loved her first, I was her first freaking everything but nooooooooo, Lawrence had other plans as usual, it just had to be the one I loved that he loveeed and wanted to spend his life with apparently, the one he wanted to be the mother of his children, the ying to his yang, and when I, his best friend told him of my intentions with her he just couldnt let her go this one time. All the other girls would literally pay to be with Lawrence but it just had to be Andrea, my Andrea that caught his eye. Is that how friendship works? Because if so then count me out of it.

Wow. He was right, I really couldnt understand all of this, I mean, my dad? Would he really do that to his best friend, was he really as selfish as Daven put him to be, was Daven leaving some parts out just so Id reason with him. No I shouldnt be having second thoughts about my dad, I mean, HES MY DAD. And hes been more in my life than my mom even. I was fazed for a lil bit but I had to quickly recover.

All this rage thats been building in you cuz of a girl, its been with you for like what, 50 years? Ha! Whatever. Point is that was all in the past I kept advancing towards him until I was only half a feet away from him.

..THAT(punch) IS NO(punch punch) FREAKING REASON(punch punch punch) TO(punch) DESTROY(punch) A WHOLE FAMILY(punch punch punch punch) while I was already doing justice to his face with my fists his goons came, picked me up from him and threw me right back down on the floor. I tried to stand up and gain my balance but before I could even think straight two of them already came and propped me up to my feet holding me on each side of my body.

Daven struggled to get back on his feet, stumbled a few times but with the help of his thugs, he stood back up again. I was glad to see that i had an effect on him.

My dear kinky. He said while wiping the blood off of his mouth,.. I told you, you just wont be able to get it. Yes, youre very young, but gosh do you have manly hands for your age I must say, lets just hope you have manly abs as well and with that he started punching me in the gut twice as fast and twice as hard as my punches were while his goons kept me from shielding myself as their holds on my hands even tightened. I guess it was stupid of me to have attacked the alpha of a pack in which I stood alone. But I wasnt gonna give up that easily, I wasnt gonna let him see me cry, I wasnt gonna just give him that satisfaction he wanted of seeing his, apparently, worst enemys daughter cry. I was stronger than that, took me a while to realize it though but the bottom line was that I did and thats what was important. Moreover, Id like to believe that Ive had enough military training from my dad to give up at first try.

Hahahahaha, youre right uncle Dave, I wouldnt be able to get your old boring story of a love life, but get this, after everything Andrea still got married to who? Yup you got that right, Lawrence Pierre my father. Who did she have kids with? Lawrence Pierre my father!! And if Im getting youre story straight, she left who for who? Thats right, she left you for Lawrence Pierre, my-damn-father!!! I received a punch to the gut from one of the goons and another to the face from the second one which left me coughing endlessly.

You really think thats the epilogue of this whole story, hahahahaha. Well let me ask you somn, do you have a mother now? Yes you do but when was the last time you all sat down as a family and, I dont know, actually did stuff as a family, hmmmm?.i thought so, and whos the reason for all of that? Exactly, this guy. Look around you honey, youre on my turf now meaning I call the shots around here and maybe it might or might not hit you, so dont you think of getting cocky even a lil bit cocky alright. They aint no daddy round here to save you, but dont stress it, you wouldnt need to worry about that soon enough

Whats that supposed to mean? What are you gonna do? Dont you dare even think of harming my father or even as much as laying your filthy fingers on just one strand of his hair cuz then shit is gonna get real!

Little kids and their threats these days like they could actually even do anything. Take her away from my sight, Ive had enough of her, plus dont hesitate to do whatever you please with her, but make sure shes still alive, itll be fun seeing Lawrence tremble at the sight of his daughter

You sick bas- before I could even get my words out I was cut short by one of them goons.

well you heard what the boss said sissy, anything we please, and I for one have had it with your blabber mouth and hell of an attitude already so I guess Imma start from there before I could realize what was going on I took a punch to the mouth and from there on other series of punches came all over my body and before I could process anything..
