Not your Marionette

Before i Become his Puppet.

Ava's POV

As i slipped into a void of dreams i saw my father. My heart raced. "Daddy!" I screamed and ran towards him. "Ava Listen, this is important" he spoke concerned and worried. " you know with your heart that there is good in everyone, but there is an evil that weighs against it. You saw that look in his eyes and you saw the darkness in his soul. you must leave Ava. He is a danger, you are to young to be here with me, i miss you baby, but its not and wont be your time for a long time. Be smart, choose wisely." as i ran faster pushing my effort to the limit a flash of light bursted through and i woke up, in tears, gasping for air. "Ava darling you alright?" it was Zachary. He sat on the bed, a deranged look in his eyes. his chest was pushing air up fast, as if he was excited. "i-i'm fine...what happened?" i rubbed my throbbing head, still sore from the dream that burned in my memory, " you were so exhausted you must've passed out. Lets go to the garden, you might want some air." He cooed. he grabbed my glove hand and for some reason it singed.  I hissed in pain and yanked it away. ' i know daddy, im going to please don't do this, i am independent i can handle it, i have you with me' i grasped my cross necklace and walked along side with Zachary. We walked down the twisted Hallways and i heard soft sobs coming from behind a door, i brushed it off for now. I walked to the back with Zachary. He pushed open the doors and with a loud *CREEEEEEEEAAAAAKKKK* they opened, revealing a garden filled with red roses, but that didn't catch my attention, a wilting white rose did. I paced over to it and crouched to get a better look, i accidentally pricked my finger on a thorn. blood spilled and as i yanked my hand back a drop of blood stained a petal, causing it to become half red. For a split second i thought i saw the rose perk up, and it did. Zachary seemed to be getting impatient, tapping his foot. "Ahem....Zachary.." i spoke up, His mind seemed to be somewhere else, my voice took him out though. "yes Ava?" he asked sweetly. "Thank you for all the help, i really do appreciate it but i really must go... i'm glad the kindness in your heart allowed me in." He chuckled, what once was a murmur became a sick and twisted laugh. "If only you knew girl..." As i tried to walk away but he caught my wrist. I tried to pull away but his grip around my wrist tightened and as i was now wrestling  with him. He dragged me inside as i was fighting back with all my power. He smiled like the cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. Just the smile itself gave me the chills. He closed the door and threw me down. "YOU ARE MINE NOW!" he screamed, it wasn't like i hadn't dealt with this before, i got up and tried to strike him, he caught my wrist and slapped me. "You...you're a psycho...." a hissed holding my cheek. "YOU ARE MY PUPPET! YOU CANT LEAVE!!"He laughed like a psycho. I stood up, and with all my strength i tried to run, but he was faster, he ran in front of me. "Ah ah aahh..." he cooed and grabbed me. he took the nearest object to him and hit my head, my head started to bleed and my eyes drooped closed, i fought to keep them open but my body couldnt do it, i felt my body go limp and him  dragging me across the hall.

Zachary's POV

As i dragged her down the hall, i picked her limp body up and swung it over my shoulder. i brought her to the attic of this prison like building and upstairs i dropped her body, getting my toys, 4 ropes tied to wooden ceiling. i sat her body down and held her left arm up, i tied it  to the wire rope. Her right arm was easier, and after the wrists and arms were secured, i pulled the chair away, her body rose and she was hanging from the ceiling, just like a marionette. She was bound to come  to sooner so i got Artemis to grab a wet towel and a bowl for the blood. i wiped her head and she cringed  at the pain, her eyes fluttered open, she came to a panic when her arms were immobilized. "LET ME GO!!" She tried to struggle, but she was only hurting herself more. "GAHHH!" she hissed and hung her head " you will NEVER get away with this...."  she sneered. i chuckled, she really is naive. 'oh but i already have!" I chuckled. I wiped her cut from the book holder, "After all doll, i am the puppet master!" I giggled evily and smiled and my chest rose with excitement. I could hear my own heart beat pounding in my head, and my blood was rising with each catching moment. I started panting, my heads were shaking and becoming clutsy as i got excited. She had a look of disgust on her face. i walked over and cupped her cheek, she jerked her head and spit on my face. I wiped it away and slapped her. 

"Now listen to your master, you do what i tell you, you listen, you smile you laugh, if you break the rules, you go back to being a puppet, this is a punishment for trying to leave, Artemis or Roseabella will feed you and help with your needs, i will be back soon, and from now, call me Puppet Master understood?"

she hissed "The day i lie down in a grave is the day i bow down to a low life such as yourself, there is good in everyone , but an evil weighs against you and it has taken over, so i guess i'm saying i won't bow down to evil Hills!" she sneered. i walked out an chuckled, i closed the door and locked it. " she will bow down, its not her choice anymore!" I laughed and it echoed through the empty house. how i despise this house. A prison for an insane person, if they saw me now.

5 YEARS AGO

'Mr. Hills he  isn't safe for other people, he needs to be put away, he killed his own sister, he's insane." Zachary's father nodded, there sat, a 10 year old Zachary in a straight jacket, face covered in blood. His father bent down, tears streaming.

"Why Zackey why? she was your sister?" he was trying to stay strong.

" she wasn't playing the game right, she must be punished." He hummed. his father turned away and motioned for them to take him. The two men grabbed him and loaded him in a truck. They drove for hours until they came upon a beat up looking mansion. 2 girls sat with suit cases by the door, both in scarfs and jackets, it was early fall after all. The boy was taken and placed inside. They took it off and the Adults left, well most. They called him crazy and murderous. a voice in the back of his head  told him to continue his ways. 

"Jason they are wrong, you are pursuing your dreams, continue ,one day  you will escape this prison and find fame and fortune, just wait for the puppet that will bear your destiny to arrive, the odds will be in your favor..."
