Chapter 18:
.:Jack:.
Two days.
Two bloody days and we've had no sign of her.
We've been searching high and low for her and nothing. Zilch.
Molly has just vanished off the face of the earth and the only name we have is 'Joseph'. No last or middle name, no age, no height, weight or anything to do with appearance. Only one name. And it doesn't ring a bell for any of us.
Silas is getting more and more frantic now.
He's been the most active in the search for her. Checking, double checking, sometimes even triple checking areas. Seeing if he's missed maybe even one measly metre...
He's obsessive about it actually.
I just make rounds with Griffin.
Sprint through all the streets, trying to get her scent on the wind...on anything really.
I don't know why they took her.
Whether they were trying to hurt her, or trying to hurt us...none of us have any clue.
We're all sitting in her apartment at the moment, waiting for Silas to return.
"How about we play cards?"
As we've been sitting in total lack of sound for the last three hours or so. This proposal, this sudden burst of noise...it gives me a fright.
Jumping slightly, I glare over at Hansen who is snickering at me, "Alright. What do you want to play?"
"Something hard. Something I can whip your ass at." He chuckles.
I grin, "You can choose and by the way. The only way you're going to be whipping my ass, is-"
"Don't!" Nick warns me, "Jack...that's innapropriate."
I roll my eyes, "Buzz kill."
Hansen grabs out the deck of cards and shuffles them expertly, "How about...snap?"
My eyes widen, "Snap? But...but you know we're not allowe-"
He cuts me off, "But Serenia's not here now is she?"
Shaking my head, I take a deep breath, "Okay then..."
He hands me half the pack.
Snap is the only card game we have never EVER been allowed to play. Not since the incident in 64. I shudder at the thought.
He puts down the first card. I put down the second.
We continue like this until I set a queen down beside his queen.
Glancing up at each other, our hands slam down to get to it first, "SNAP!"
CRACK!
The table splits in two.
He grins at me, "It's only a table...now. How about for money?"
Laughing, I grab my wallet out, "Deal. Now gimme the cards."
.:Silas:.
Trudging into the apartment, I gaze around in shock at the mess they've made of it.
Nothing, I repeat NOTHING is intact.
Every single piece of furniture is destroyed beyond recognition.
Kneeling down, I pick up a piece of what could be a fragment of the fridge door, or the bathroom sink.
"What the HELL is going on?!" I demand.
Suddenly Jack falls from nowhere, landing on the one half of the couch that hasn't been shredded. He stares at me guiltily, "Oh Silas! I uh..we were playing snap..."
My eyes widen, "Snap? SNAP? You know we're not allowed to play snap!" I yell at him, "God, don't you remember the incident of 64?! That got us banned from Canada!"
He shudders, "It was Hansen's idea!" he points up and I lift my gaze to see my cousin gazing guiltily down from a hole in the ceiling.
There is a loud crack.
I jump.
We all freeze.
And then the chandelier. The 22,000 dollar chandelier that I got custom made for Molly for the apartment...hits the floor, shattering into a million pieces.
I'm about to kill them all when the phone rings.
Strolling over, I grab it, "WHAT?!" I yell from between clenched teeth, "The FUCK do you want?!"
There is a laugh, "I think the question is Silas, what do YOU want?"
I pause, "Who is this?" I demand angrily.
"My name is Joseph."
All five of us are all of a sudden, crowded around the tiny phone, listening intently to the person.
"Where is Molly?"
"She's fine, don't you worry. Say hello Molly."
We all stop breathing to hear the faint scream.
"You bloody bastard! You wait until I get my hands on you! You no good dirty mother fu-" she cuts off.
"She has quite the tongue doesn't she?"
Rolling my eyes, I poke my tongue out at Nick who is busy giggling to himself, "What do you want?"
.:Molly:.
Alright.
This whole damsel in distress thing is not my thing I've decided.
I read all those books where she gets kidnapped and she cries and she gets tortured and she falls in love with her captor and blah blah blah they live happily ever after.
This isn't like that.
This sucks.
I am so fricken bored!
Not to mention, this bloody room is probably coated in disease.
Every disease imaginable.
Haha!
I will be laughing my ass off at these stupid jerks when they die of malaria or aids or something. Cancer maybe? I certainly hope it's all of the above.
They haven't even come in to chop off one of my fingers yet!
I mean...come on! Talk about slacking off.
These people need to get their priorities straight.
Kidnap the girl. Keep her in the dark a couple of hours. Chop of a finger or an ear and send it in the mail to the family as a threat to show seriousness. Maybe keep chopping little pieces off until I'm either dead, or paid for.
These people have barely done anything!
I am so utterly disappointed in them.
Oh not to mention the guys!
Sure, I told them to get lost.
I thought they loved me enough to come after me when I've been taken against my will.
Rolling my eyes, I stand up and stroll over to the bed.
It's a crap room. Concrete floor and brick walls. Cracks through the entire thing, moss and mould growing in the corners, ivy crawling up the walls. Truly a tragic piece of architecture. But there's a bed in here and a small television. So it's isn't THAT bad.
Every time someone comes in, I continue my verbal assault on them.
It's the only past time I've had the last couple of days. Creating a speech to scream at them whenever they're near me.
So far I have enough material to go for another few days.
The door opens and I mentally prepare, "You good for nothing pigs! Why the hell did you kidnap me you mentally retarded fuck?! Huh? Yeah, that's right, just say nothing! NOTHING! BECAUSE YOU'RE USELESS! USELESS I TELL YOU!" Joseph (yeah, he told me his name) strolls over to me and I lunge at him, digging my fingernails into his soft human flesh.
He grabs me and throws me off him. I hit the wall behind me, but am back on my feet in a flash.
"Calm down Molly! Molly! Calm down! Don't fight me! I am saving you!"
Opening my mouth, I sink my teeth down into his shoulder, "Saving me? HA!" I sound hysterical, "Saving me from what?!"
"Molly! MOLLY! STOP! ARGH FUCK YOU PSYCHO BITCH!"
He grabs me tightly and sprints fowards until my back hits the wall. My head snaps back, hitting the bricks and when he lets me go, I sink to the floor.
He kneels down in front of me, "Molly...it's me. It's me Joseph...your brother?"
Brother?!
Yup, it's shorter than the last chapter, but I needed to put this up because I felt as if I was going to explode. I finished it about an hour ago and have been debating with myself whether or not to put it up ever since...I won...and I put it up, lol. So yeah...ooh, brother? What is this of a brother?!
