The Boy With A Child

Chapter 34

                                  Onyx's POV
"Umm. You're both saying you want to kill a kid in front of me...do I have to arrest you?"

"Woah!"

"Jesus Christ no!"

"We're just saying, we're mad!"

Seanna slapped the back of Christopher's head.

"Calm down Chris!"

Marionette covered her ears.

"Too loud! You're too loud!"

"It's okay. We'll be quiet now MJ."

She put her hands down. She went back to, spinning my rope bracelet around my wrist. I started rubbing her forehead. Her eyes started fluttering. She yawned.

"There we go. We'll be quiet now. I apologize for waking you up. You know, I hate doing that."

"I think, you're a much better dad than, anyone in this family. Holy shit."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah. I've never seen someone in this family, treat a child like you."

"My daddy's the best!"

"Thank you for saying that Mari."

"Oh! Mari! You can play with Ellie tomorrow!"

She sat up.

"Really?!"

"Mhm."

"Oh! Oh! Daddy can we go to the mall?!"

"That's fine with me."

"Yay!"

"Go make sure, your room's clean."

She jumped off my lap. She started running.

"Don't run up the stairs! Anywho. What we were talking about?"

"I forgot."

"Here's something. I don't care who you two are, hurting me is one thing. If one of you hurt my daughter, you both get cut off."

Primrose slapped the my arm.

"OW! What the fuck?!"

"For fuck's sake! Be nice! Goddamnit!"

"He's just like you."

I heard more crying. I jumped up. I ran upstairs.

"Marionette?! What's wrong?!"

I ran into her room. I saw her finger was bleeding. I ran over to her.

"What happened?"

"My toy hurt me!"

I crouched down.

"What toy?"

She pointed to a dollhouse. I started looking at it. I found a razor blade. It was taped to the door.

"What the-"

I carefully untaped it.

"Mari has anyone else been in here?"

She rubbed her eye as she sniffled and shook her head.

"Go see Prim. Tell her you got hurt and need a bandaid."

I started taking the doll house down.

Where the fuck did this come from?

I felt something scrape against my finger.

"The fuck?"

I saw a razor blade taped to the ceiling.

Who the hell did this?

If one toy has blades then, more of them must have some!

I got up and ran. I grabbed a garbage bag and a storage container.

"Nyx? What are you doing?"

"I-I think someone messed with Mari's room! There's razor blades taped to the fuckin dollhouse!"

"What?!"

I ran back to my daughter's room. I started going through all of her toys.

"Daddy? What's going on?"

"I'm making sure, no more of your toys hurt you. I'll buy you new ones tomorrow."

"Are my toys mean?"

"No no. Someone hurt them. Did Primy help you?"

"Mhm."

"Good. Go hang out with everyone downstairs please."

"But, the adults are talking."

"Who said that?"

"Christopher."

"Of course he did."

I exhaled.

Son of a bitch.

"Go tell them, I said it's okay for you to be down there."

She walked away. I started examining more toys. Something scraped up against my shoulder.

"OW! Shit! Fuck! Son of a fuckin bitch! Cocksucking fucking dickbag! Who fucking does this to a child's room?!"

I found a piece of paper underneath the doll house. I picked it up.

The fuck is this?

I picked it up and unfolded it.

Should've kept your mouth shut "son"

"GODDAMNIT!"

I ran downstairs.

"I'm gonna deck him!"

"Who?"

"Donovan! He fuckin sabotaged her goddamn room!"

"Huh?"

I turned to Christopher.

"Where is he?"

"Last I heard, he was behind bars. Why?"

I handed him the note.

"If I find one more blade...I swear to fuckin god, I'm snapping his neck!"

"Xanax go!"

"I can't take it! I'll get tired! I have to finish going through her room!"

"Onyx Stone go take your damn medication!"

"I can't right now!" I said as my voice cracked.

"Why won't you just let me do this?"

"Baby I-"

"Keep her down here."

"I'll help you."

"Thank you Chris."
