Chapter 40

Book:His Puppet Published:2024-5-1

“He’s gonna make us go back with him” I say beginning to cry, but Blake holds me tightly.
“He’s never getting anywhere near you ever again” he whispers looking over at Anthony, I finally turn seeing a really injured Anthony stood there “you need to leave, you aren’t getting anywhere near any of the girls again” Blake shouts, causing Anthony to look directly at us, I bury my face into Blake’s arm as soon as he does.
“And who the fuck are you?” Anthony asks, I could tell by his voice he was getting angry and that’s where trouble starts.
“Me? I’m Blake, Freya’s real boyfriend” Blake says smiling, I turn to Anthony who looks beyond annoyed, he moves to his back pocket where I knew what he liked to keep there.
“He’s got a gun!” I shout, pulling Blake behind me knowing where he was about to aim that gun, Anthony pulls the gun out pointing it in our direction, but stops when he spots who was in the firing line.
“Doll, why are you letting these people keep us apart? You, me and Amelia are a perfect family” he says, wow at least he’s calling Amelia her name not some Gabbie person “I have a fun idea for what we can do tomorrow, put the Christmas tree up! Amelia is just gonna love that” he smiles happily, for a second I thought he was back to normal but from that comment, this guy is really out his mind.
“Mr Richards, we all know that’s not gonna happen, you can either come easily without fighting or the hard way” some guy says, by the looks of it he seems like maybe the main boss police man person, I don’t know I’ve been held captive for months!
“Like I told you dicks on the phone, nothing and no one is keeping my girls away from me! Anyone that stands in my way will have to do be taken out” he says in a really dark tone, he looks around the room before fixing his eyes on me “now doll, let’s save everyone the trouble and just come here” he tells me, Blake takes my hand from behind holding it tightly, basically telling me not to move without actually telling me.
“We’re not your girls Anthony, I’m Freya Edwards not Richards, this is not our baby and we are not married” I finally have enough courage to tell him, I’ve wanted to say that for months!
“See what you’re letting them do! They’re getting in your head making you believe things that aren’t true! Just like all those other people did remember, Tammy, my mother, Adam and Nicole!” He shouts listing all those poor people he murdered, I look down remembering every single situation “what did I do? I took care of them! I made them see that we were forever and no one could get in between us!” He shouts but I shake my head, he did the opposite to any of that.
“You killed them all! Because they got in the way of what you wanted you ended them! You’re an evil person that needs to be locked up!” I shout, he laughs a little looking at the ground playing with the gun.
“You I know what we’re having doll? Our first fight, but that’s okay all couples go through that” he says still taking crazy! I shake my head I wasn’t going anywhere “I’m not gonna tell you again doll!” He shouts so loud Amelia jumps in my arms, she immediately starts to cry holding onto to me for dear life “it’s okay sweetheart, mummy and daddy are just having a little fight” he smiles towards Amelia who continues to cover her face, I move back a little whispering it was gonna be okay.
“It’s over Anthony, just hand yourself in” Adam voices appears from the side of the room, Anthony whips his head around at lightning speed shocked and probably a little terrified to see Adam stood there “you’ve had a good run, but it’s time for the girls to go back with their families now” he continues, I knew straight away that wasn’t the best thing to say to Anthony right now.
“They are my family!” He shouts beginning to point the gun in Adam’s direction, I move away from Blake but he grips my hand even harder stopping me.
“Blake trust me, I have a plan” I say looking him in the eye showing him I was serious, he looks at me placing his forehead on mine.
“Please be careful, I can’t loose you again” he whispers placing a kiss on my forehead, I smile moving away and towards Anthony.
“Don’t shoot him and we’ll come with you” I say, slowly moving towards him, he smiles lowering the gun putting it by his side.
“See I knew you’d finally come to your senses, now don’t worry I won’t hold his over your head, I know it was these horrible people again” he smiles, as I get closer I see a man slowly walking behind Anthony, looking closer I realise it’s ink! “When we get home we’ll start decorating for Christmas, you’ll like that won’t you Ameli-” he smiles, but before he could finish his sentence he’s smacked around the head with something, he immediately drops to the floor while my arm is grabbed and I’m pulled backwards.
Blake wraps his arms around me once more, I didn’t want to worry him but I didn’t have a plan at all. Thankfully ink appeared and help make a plan for me, once we pull away I look over where a bunch of officers where sat on top of a kicking and screaming Anthony. But this time he wasn’t gonna get away, it was over for him.
Ink walks over to me asking if I was okay, I smile thanking him where he shakes his head.
“I should be the one thanking you, you helped me get out of a situation where I’d probably be in to the day I died” he smiles, I mean I didn’t do much I just knew what was best for him “oh I got you this, back when we had our first conversation you mentioned something about mice drinking milk, so I thought I’d buy you a book” he smiles, handing me a little book with a mouse on the front, I can’t believe he remembered that was so long ago.
He picks Amelia up telling me he wanted to show her a cool fish tank, while I flip through the book, once I find the answer I turn to look at Blake.
“After some months of research I have an answer to your question, no mice should not drink milk” i smile, he shakes his head wrapping his arms around me looking at my face.
“I’m so happy you’re back, it’s been horrible without you, I love you” he smiles down at me, I plant a kiss on his lips telling him I loved him so much too.
Amelia saying mama over and over again snaps me out of our little moment, ink walks over handing her back to me. Then I remembered.
“Where’s Amelia’s parents? Shouldn’t they be here?” I ask looking at Blake, immediately the smile that was on his face drops and he looks down.
“I’m sorry Freya, a few weeks after you went missing they were involved in a car accident and….. died” he says sadly looking down, I was so taken back I look to Amelia where she sends me a huge smile.
This is a very similar situation.
Hi guys, remember right near the start of this whole journey Jacob got that phone call while talking to Blake? That’s where he found out that Amelia’s parents had died, they say her father was so tired to lack to sleep that he fell asleep at the wheel. They drove straight into a lorry killing them instantly, it just made me sad that they never got to see their baby girl come home. But now, Amelia was left parentless like I was, don’t worry though she wouldn’t be forever.
