The Boy With A Child

Chapter 30

Onyx's POV
I didn't get hit?

I'm not in pain.

Well, besides my chest being stepped on, I'm okay.

Who got shot?!

Please don't be Prim!

Please don't be Marionette!

I felt blood on my face. I saw Donovan bleeding. He started laughing.

"You seriously think, because your REAL father, is a detective I'd die?"

He started choking me. I started punching and kicking.

He's only bleeding in one spot.

Who else got hit?

I saw something else in his waistband. I quickly grabbed it.

Motherfucker carries around a knife too?

I'm definitely going to regret this.

I stabbed him in the back. He laughed again. He threw the gun behind him. He grabbed the knife. He started to bring it to my chest. I grabbed his hands. I started trying to, get the knife to face him.

Come on!

Face him!

I heard sirens.

Took them long enough.

He fought back more. He grabbed my hands. He put them beside me. He stepped on one. He put the knife in my other hand. I screamed.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"ONYX!"

"You're a poor excuse of a human being Onyx."

"No I'm not! You're talking about yourself Donovan!"

He grabbed the gun. He pointed it, at my chest. He pulled the trigger. I screamed again. He got up and started running. I saw him get shot in the leg. Christopher and Primrose ran up to me.

"BABY!"

"I-I.."

"K-keep my princess inside..."

"Onyx stay with me!"

I saw EMTs. They had Christopher and Primrose walk away. The knife was taken out of the ground. They wrapped my hand, to keep the knife stable. I was put in an ambulance. No one was able to, come with me. I remember hearing Marionette.

"Daddy? Daddy? Wake up!"

I opened my eyes and saw, Marionette was hugging my arm. I groaned.

"Hey Mari."

"Yay! Daddy!"

She jumped onto me.

"OUCH! Princess that hurt!"

"Oh no! I'm so sorry daddy!"

"No no. It's okay. Please be careful with me. Where's Rosie?"

"I'm over here."

I looked around and saw, Primrose in a chair.

"You really gotta stop ending up here."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm aware."

She walked over to me and kissed me.

"You also, have to stop getting yourself around guns and knives.

"You act like, I do this purposely."

She ran her fingers through my hair.

"I'm not saying that."

"H-how are you still with me? All I do..is cause problems."

"No. That's not true."

Marionette jumped up.

"Yeah! It's not your fault daddy!"

Marionette kissed my cheek.

"Everything bad that happens, isn't your fault."

"She's right daddy."

Primrose put the bed into a sitting position.

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Am I still going to be able to snuggle with you?"

"Probably."

A doctor walked into the room.

"I see you're awake. I'm Dr. Angel. How do you feel?"

"No clue."

"Can I look at your hand?"

"Yeah, sure."

My doctor walked over to me. He unwrapped my hand. I saw, a stab wound stitched together.

"How man stitches is that?"

"46."

He started feeling my fingers.

"Can you feel this?"

"Yeah."

He started poking me.

"And this?"

"Yeah. I feel it."

"Okay. It looks like, your nerves are okay. You're really lucky."

He rewrapped my hand. They kept me in the hospital for a few days. I was in so much pain when, they let me go home. Marionette started hugging me until, my pain medication started working.

"I'm so tired."

"Then sleep daddy."

"I think I will."

I shut my eyes.

Primrose's POV
"Nyx? Where'd you go?"

I started walking around the house. I found him, on the couch sleeping. Marionette was laying on his chest. I walked over to them.

Are they both sleeping?

Marionette sat up. She put her right index finger on her lips to, tell me to be quiet. I nodded. She laid back down. I kissed Onyx's forehead. I saw him smile. I walked away. I ent into the kitchen. I started making dinner.

I wonder, how long he' ll be in pain for.

I didn't bother, waking him to eat dinner. I let him sleep.

"Prim? Do you think he'll wake up soon?"

"Yes. Give it a few more hours."
