Chapter 11: "...I need help"

"But...h-how. I don't understand_"

He tsk.

"Marianna, you must by now know...I'm always ten steps ahead of you. What? you thought I wouldn't know my brother would try to talk you into leaving with him? The sudden urgent call? So obvious"

Wet tears begin to stain my cheeks.

"Please. Jackson, please. Not her. Not her. I'll do anythi_"

"You see, Marianna. The problem is_"

"Jackon, please. NOT HER. I'll do everything you want me to. I don't care. Just please don't hurt her" I ramble

There's a slight pause.

"You dare interrupt me when I speak?" He spits

I frantically shake my head no.

"No. No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." I sob into the phone

"You just don't seem to learn, do you? Always defying me"

"Jackon, plea_"

"Well, it's time you really understand what it is like to defy me"

"Jackson_"

"Bring her in" He says

I hear shuffling in the background.

Then, mumbling.

"Wow, I see where you get your looks from, Marianna"

"No" I snap

"MAMA!" I yell into the phone

"Marianna? MARIANNA WHERE ARE YOU?" She sobs

I feel my heart sink.

"Jackon, please" I whisper

There's a slight pause.

"Jackon, I'll come back. You can punish me. But please, leave her out of this"

He chuckles.

"I guess you should have thought about that before you left, shouldn't you have?"

"You may commence" He says

"What?" I mutter

"No, no, no. Please" I hear my mother plead

"MAMA" I yell

Her deafening screams sound.

"MAMA" I sob

The screams increase.

"Jackson, please. PLEASE"

Mum's screams for help are the last thing I hear before the line cuts.

"What?"

"No. No. NO.NO.NO"

I search my pockets for more coins and insert them as fast as possible.

I dial her phone number again.

Nothing.

And again.

Nothing.

Again.

Nothing.

Again.

Nothing.

Again.

Nothing.

I drop to the floor.

I failed her.
