*Kat’s POV
“Ring…
“Jesus.. who is calling me in the middle of the night.”
“Hello?”
“Kat, please help. They kidnapped Mandy.” He said.
“What?” I jumped to sit up. Though I could feel uncle Nick saying something more I couldn’t concentrate.
Though knowing fully well he wouldn’t be lying to me about this, I instantly looked to my right . Her side of the bed looks like she hasn’t slept at all. I ran to the bathroom in hopes that the news would be fake. And like always my hopes comes crashing down.
I tried to calm myself down. Nothing good comes out of me worrying.
I picked the phone that I threw on the bed.
“Uncle.. I will find her.” I said solemnly. I brought her here, I will make sure she returns safely.
“No. Don’t even think like that, this is not your fault. Being a Black and a Jack, we have brought this on you. If anyone should be sorry, its us. We are sorry. But for now don’t even think of doing this alone. Wait for me I am on the way.” He insisted.
I definitely am not going to wait around and do nothing.
Uncle might have heard me as he sighed.
“Please sweetie, be careful. I will reach there as soon as possible.” By that he hung up.
I took the portable knife I had packed in my bag after the trio kidnapped me and went downstairs to call uncle Nath for help.
Entering the kitchen was all I could remember before I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
Even my mom’s house is not safe.
With that thought I fell into the now familiar blackness.
—
“Katherine.”
“Hey..”
“Wake up..”
I could hear someone hissing trying to wake me up. All too familiar buzzing in my head makes it difficult for me to open my eyes.
But once I did, I felt a deja vu all over again.
I was tied again but this time instead of being on the floor I am tied to chair.
I looked to my left to see Amanda trying to untie herself.
“So here you are.” I teased but quickly hissed from the pain.
If I get the one who had hit my head. I am going to do the same to him so he knows how it feels.
“You really need to get out of your head if we should have at least some possibility of survival.” She hissed.
“Don’t worry I have got plenty of experience to get us out of here. Look” I tried twisting a little to show her the knife I brought.
“Then what are you waiting for?” She groaned.
“I see the princesses are awake.” A very familiar voice said.
“I see you have finally shown your true face, uncle Nathaniel.” I sneered while making sure he doesn’t hear or see me cutting the ropes.
“I see you have been doubting me.” He chuckled.
“Ever since you arrived with those fake legal guardianship papers. I had my doubt.” I glared at him.
“If you were wondering, my dad was the one who got her guardianship.” Amanda retorted.
“No, it was not. Infact it hadn’t even been in my interest to be guardian of this brat, but it was the only way to stay and know the plans hence with the fake papers.” He explained.
Jesus, and to think I wanted to trust him despite my mind saying not to.
Thank god for such a sane mind, cause now god only knows what his plans are.
From the sweet act he had put out he is finally showing his true self.
He walked straight towards me. From his angry strides I knew what was going to happen .
Yet the shock I had when he really did slap me was unexplainable.
Shit! It hurts like hell.
Yet I tried to show it didn’t hurt me at all.
“Even after all the planning and sacrificing my time for you, you just, straight out refused to trust me. Why?” He yelled.
“Because dad warned me not to trust anyone.” I smirked to which Amanda groaned.
That was a bad move trying to provoke him.
He slapped me again.
This bitch.
“With your actions I don’t think we need any plans, you will be dead by then to escape.” Amanda scolded. “And don’t even try to say it was to get him to sprout the truth. He already was.”
“I didnt do it for that. It stinks like hell. I was trying to show it didnt.” I hissed.
“Well that move is only going to stink mo-“.
“I am still standing here.” He yelled.
“Oh I know.” I retorted, immediately regretting it seeing his anger increasing.
“”Oh Christ! I am going to die.” She whispered.
I pursed my lips tightly. I only need two slaps for now. Don’t need to add to it.
My head is throbbing, my arms are sore and the bitch added this slap to my list of aches. He better be prepared. I am going to be returning this tenfold. That is if my mouth doesn’t ruin my escape plan for me.
“When I saw the letter addressed to you from Damien, the anger I felt then…. I mean, what’s dead should stay dead!” He yelled. Jesus! His face, even Satan would stay second to him.
“Then why didn’t you burn it?” I asked. This was a question that had troubled me and diverted me from him from the start. If he hadn’t given me the letter I wouldn’t have even started investigating.
“You think I wanted to?” He asked to which Amanda shook her head making him more irritated.
I glared at her. We better stop playing around otherwise I am one whom he uses as slap bag.
Plus someone should be alive to hear his explanation. And the way we two are behaving I don’t think that would be possible.
