Chapter 59: Fight till i have no fight left in .
Alanis.
The anticipation after the knock on the door is killing. Darrien is a little too calm for
right now. I know that it will co as a surprise if I find Maddie ho but I pray silently that she ends up being ho. I don’t want to have to face her parents, I don’t want to involved in this. If it cos to it, I will do whatever I have to.
’’It’s taking a while," Darrien nags impatiently.
I roll my eyes "Hold on a bit, I hear them coming to the door."
Imdiately the words leave my lips, the door opens revealing David—Maddie’s father. He frowns imdiately he sees ; this is the reaction I get from them. They have never been fond of
so I didn’t expect any more than hostility.
"What are you doing here?" he asks
straight to the point.
"I need to see Maddie, please."
He laughs even less receptive than earlier "You have so nerves," his tone is firm. He is trying to intimidate , but at this mont, all I care about is Beau and finding him. I will do whatever I have to get to him, even if it ans hurting them.
"Get away from here before I call the cops," he warns
and I notice the phone on his grip. He waves it in a, right now manner. I sigh because I can’t leave "You won’t call the cops. You will let
in and call Maddie right now."
I do the one thing I hate to do. Mind control. It only works on humans. I can tell them what to do as long as I am close enough. Staring into his faded blue eyes, I watch the effect of my powers kick in as he opens the door slowly. Darrien has a smile on his face as we walk into the house. I have been inside Maddie’s house nurous tis. I rember a ti where I preferred being in her house than in mine. It all seems so long ago now. The fact that I hate this house as much as I hate her is sickening. It is just a house, it should not an anything, but it ans everything at this mont. This is the only chance I have to get to Maddie. If this fails, there is nothing else I can do. There is no one else I can use.
I can’t blow this shot.
Maddie’s mom cos out of the kitchen, and her expression reveals shock as she sees . Both of them have never liked . I did nothing and they didn’t think I was good enough for their daughter.
"Call Maddie," I warn him with a scowl.
Darrien leads him to a couch and taps his shoulder "Co on old man, we don’t have all day," this is his usual self. I don’t expect any less from him. If Darrien doesn’t show his attitude then sothing is wrong.
David dials Maddie’s number and it goes straight to voicemail "She is not answering," Darrien scoffs.
"Try again,"
"What is going on?" Maddie’s mom—Joanne expresses her concern. I walk over to her. She trembles, she is terrified. I hate inflicting fear on humans, but I need to at this mont. This is not who I am, I hate ssing with humans, I hate being involved with them. Rus and Maddie were the only humans I accepted into my life.
"Relax," I urge her "Just do as we say and everything would be alright," I watch as her eyes dampen. She releases a soft breath and she is at my beck and call. I have her where I want her. "Go and have a sit, I need your phone."
She gives
her phone and I watch her walk over to her husband. She sits down on the couch next to him.
"What do we do now?" Darrien asks.
"I don’t know," I answer him honestly.
It might take a while but Maddie will eventually answer her phone "Grab the phone from him and keep trying," I tell him.
He nods and snatches the phone from David. They both remain seated like robots. At this mont, their minds are lost. They are one hundred percent in my control. Until I snap them out of this, they will do whatever I ask them to. It is like hypnosis.
I place the phone in my ear and it keeps ringing. The sound is irritating to
but I am hopeful that she will eventually pick up. "Still ringing," Darrien comnts.
I sigh until I hear a click from my end "Mom, is everything okay," her voice cos into the phone and I freeze for just a second. Just a second because I can’t screw this up.
"Mom," she calls out again.
"Mads," I call her by her nickna. I hear her breathing through the end of the phone. She didn’t expect this.
"What are you doing in my house?" she asks coldly.
I hate her even more.
"Where is Beau?"
This is
going straight to the point. No beating around the fucking bush. If she wants to play this ga. Then I am ready for this war "I don’t know, please don’t hurt them."
Okay, using her parents as a bargain trip is not the best thing to do but I have no other option. I am desperate and this is the only thing I could co up with.
"I swear to God Mads, if you don’t tell
where he fucking is, I will kill them both."
This is not ; I don’t kill humans—at least not anymore.
I refrain from any human interaction, I don’t even feed on them. I don’t want this to be the beginning of a life I put behind
a long ti ago. I won’t let her win but I won’t hurt them.
"You don’t an that," she is breathing heavily, her voice is shaking.
"Stop this sick ga. Tell
where he is and I will let them go," I scream so loud, that I scare myself. This is
at my most desperate stage. The more ti I waste, the more he remains hurt. He is still alive, even if she lies or thinks she can deceive
into thinking otherwise--I can still feel him.
"I don’t know, I have no idea where he kept him. Believe ."
Maddie is the most selfish person I have ever t but she loves her parents. She would not lie if it involves them. At least I’d like to think so.
"Where are you?" I ask.
I look at Darrien and he raises a brow in question. I shake my head because things aren’t looking better. I have gotten nowhere with her.
"A motel. He is not here."
She is talking about Cassius. He is the one I need to find. He has the answers to all my questions.
"You expect
to believe that?"
"Yes, I won’t lie to you."
This is the biggest lie she has ever told . This is the sa woman that lied to
for a whole fucking year. I was the gullible idiot who believed her shit.
"I am giving you an hour. if you don’t get
what I need. I will kill them both." I end the call without giving her a chance to speak. Hearing her voice is irritating to .
Running my hands through my hair from the frustration, I go on my knees as I try to calm down the fears in my head. I don’t know about this; it doesn’t seem like it will be a success. I have already failed before I started. I can’t do anything; I have been unable to save him.
"It’ll be okay," I look up and Darrien’s eyes bore into mine in a comforting manner. I have never known Darrien to be comforting. To , he has always been self-centred and now all of a sudden, I feel better because of him, even though it is just a mont, I manage a faint smile and he pats my back encouragingly.
"I don’t even know anymore."
"I’ve only t Beau a couple of tis but I know he is strong. And strong people don’t give up easily. So just believe that he will be alright and we’ll keep trying to find him."
His words are comforting, his whole deanour is making
feel better. He is right. I have to stay strong for Beau, I will fight till I have no fight left in . I am not going to give up because as long as I can feel him, there is still a fighting chance. I just have to take it.
"Do we just wait?" I ask him.
He shrugs "I really don’t think we are going to get anything from Maddie, she seems like a real bitch and Cassius is not the kind to be found easily."
"So, what now?"
He sighs "We wait for her, although I know she will never just take us to Beau. Whatever she does will most likely be a trap but we will be ready for her this ti."
I take a deep breath because he is right. This is the beginning of a war. Cassius has chosen to attack and I will fight him, till he is defeated.
I won’t let him win.
