The Breaking Point

Prologue:

                   Marco wakes up from another nightmare but this one was different. He wasn't lucky at the hill this time. He wasn't found by detective Colman and was left for dead. Marco was gasping for air and he noticed his surroundings. He was home but he couldn't forget.

Mary had sexually and physically abused him and Marco was scarred for the rest of his life. He went to a psychologist but he never could erase her from his memeory. To make it even worse, Marco knew that her family were else where, probably watching him. He was put under tight supervision by his doctor.

Marco was deep in thought, when he heard a knock on his front door. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and walked over to his room door and he popped his head out of his room and thought it was the cop who watched him. 'What was her name? Deputy...Reese?' he thought to himself. Marco crept over to the stairs and walked down them and stops at the front door. He looked through the peep hole and saw no one. Then he looked left and right, half expecting something or someone to jump out and scare him.

Marco turns around and was face to face with Mary and his first thought was to run, so he turns but Mary just hugs him. Marco's throat felt as if he swallowed cottonballs, as he tried to talk.

"I...I saw you fall. I heard your body break as you hit the bottom!" Marco said as tears rolled down his cheeks. He looked around the darkness for any sign of Deputy Reese but didn't see her.

"Hello, Marco! Did you miss me?" Mary asked, but in a voice that didn't sound like her.

"B-Bethany?" Marco asks, a little less scared. He tries to move but he noticed something in Bethany's hands: an empty syringe. Marco shoves her away and he ran into the darkness but at a very slow and sluggish kind of pace. Marco's legs caved in and he hit the floor and couldn't move.

"Wow, you're pretty strong!" Bethany says as she cuts on a light switch to reveal Marco's living room. The couch was still in the middle of the room by the stairs. He even saw the dead body of Deputy Reese and her dead eyes bore into his.

"You're going to come with me and you'll find that I'm harder to kill!" Bethany said, as she grabs Marco and threw him over her shoulder like a sack of flower. "And a lot stronger than I look!" she added with a smile.

Marco tries to squirm and break free but it only made him tired and he just felt utter defeat. 'No...NO! Not again! LEAVE ME ALONE!' He yelled in his head.

Bethany laughed maniacally as she carried Marco out of his house to a waiting car and Marco saw a big shadowy figure of a man appeared. The concrete walkway was all Marco could see, but he heard the man's shadow, which he saw in the light of a full moon, sighing.

"You know your mother is upset about us being late!" the man's shadow says in a deep voice.

"But daddy, I wanted him to meet her. I had him first before Mary took him from me. That worthless bitch!" Bethany says. The man's shadowy hand moves and a loud smacking sound echoed into the night. The man smacked Bethany so hard that she dropped Marco, making him groan in pain.

"Don't talk about your sister that way!" the father says in a harsh tone. Bethany looked hurt but then she turns to kick Marco out of anger, but her father grabs her ankle and she stops.

"Let's...go...now!" her father hisses. Marco closed his eyes, as they put him in the car, and he fell back to sleep.
