Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4
Prologue: Sweet Lacie And Baby Hunter
Tex stood outside the two-story house, it had been a long time since he was home. Taking in the old house, little Baby Sawyer rushed out the house and greeted her uncle.
"Uncle Tex!" she ran into the tall blonde's arms, "We missed you!"
Others in the house heard Baby's call and eagerly rushed out to greet the returned Sawyer. The other brothers, Tinker and Junior, were the first to greet their brother as Mama Sawyer slowly followed behind her sons with a tall woman cradling a small infant in her arms. The tall woman smiled at Tex, enjoying the sight of her lover being surrounded by those he loved dearly.
Tex spotted the tall woman and smiled at her, if there was anyone he so dearly missed, it was his lover Lacie. Walking through his family, Tex greeted his lover, "Ain't see you in forever neither."
She giggled at that as Baby rushed to Lacie's side, "She's here! She's here!"
Pretending not to know what Baby meant, Tex teased, "Who's here?"
Lacie looked at the covered child in her arms, removing the corner of the blanket that protected the little one from the harsh Texan sun. She smiled as the little girl opened her weary eyes before cooing softly.
Tex stared at his daughter, she had fair skin like her mother and dark brown eyes too. "She's beautiful, What'd you name her?"
Mama pushed herself next to her son and answered, "Hunter Sawyer."
Tex continued to smile, acknowledging his family as he commented, "It's a perfect name. Let's go inside, I've things to tell ya."
Everyone walked back to the front door, Lacie and Tex straying a bit as she asked, "Would you like to hold her Tex? She hasn't been held by anyone other than me."
Tex chuckled, not surprise she had taken his request seriously. "Of course, let me see my baby."
Lacie carefully handed Tex the small girl, little Hunter made questioning noises but didn't protest as she found herself in a man's arms. She reached out of the tightly bundled blanket and tried to touch his face. Tex laughed at the girl's attempts to reach his face and brought her closer.
"Baby's been waiting to be able to play dress up with her." Lacie commented offhandedly.
"I'll bet she has." He chuckled, enjoying his little girl's curious touch, "When was she born?"
"A month ago." Lacie stated as they enter the front door. Everyone else was gather in the kitchen waiting to hear Tex's news. "I was hoping she'd come when you came back but I guess not."
"Don't worry about it." Tex kissed her cheek and asked, "Why don't you take a seat and relax, I'll take care of Hunter."
She smiled brightly and nodded, "Okay, if she gets hungry I'll take her and bring her back to you."
Tex nodded his head, smiling down at his daughter. He gently bounced her a bit while he leaned himself on a counter. "So," Tinker asked, chewing on a piece of meat. "what's this big thing you gotta tell us."
Tex bounced Hunter a little longer before starting, "We got two city folk roaming around. A woman and a man."
Tinker smiled excitedly, "You told them where to go right?"
Tex nodded his head, gently swaying his little girl as he confirm where the unsuspecting couple would be. "By the way, does Al really need to shoot at me with his fucking shotgun?"
Mama rolled her eyes as Tinker answered, "The old fool is just wrong in the head, you two never have gotten along."
"All the same." Tex muttered with a dark tone.
"Never mind that." Mama rolled herself toward Lacie, an indication for the younger woman to wheel her into the living room for her nap. "Tink, get your truck ready. Junior, start cleaning up for our guests."
Tinker and Junior nodded, leaving to start their given tasks. Tex gently brushed Hunter's cheek with his forefinger and she happily cooed at the affectionate attention she was receiving. "Ain't ya just a cutie."
"Just a cutie pie." Mama added, "Why don't you settle in and spend a little time with her before they arrive?"
Before Tex could answer Lacie added, "I'll take care of your bag, just worry about Hunter."
Tex smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll just be with the girls then."
Baby happily dragged Tex upstairs to her room where they played tea party and dressed little Hunter in various dresses Baby had made for the infant. Most of the dress were similar to what Baby wore, pastel and old southern style with flowers but one wasn't. It was a dark maroon color with a small hand sewn rose in the center of the chest.
Hunter happily giggled as she flapped her arms in excitement. Tex and Baby laughed at her childishness before allowing the girl to crawl about the skeleton decorate floor. She avoided the decayed corpses so they didn't worry themselves about her chewing on the bones.
"What we gonna do with the city folk Uncle Tex?" Baby asked while Hunter busied herself with a chair that wasn't moving out of her way.
Tex smiled and ruffled her honey blonde hair, "Do what we always do, kill 'em and cook 'em."
Baby shook her head and continued to watch Hunter crawl around. "What about Hunter? She can't be down there when we cook 'em can she?"
"Don't worry, we'll stuff any screamers just in case." Tex stood up and started for the door, "Watch her for me real quick, I'm gonna raid around for some lunch."
"Okay!" Baby waved as her uncle left before returning her attention to the younger girl. Now that she could see the baby more than at a distance she could tell just how pretty the child was. She looked nothing like her father, short brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, Hunter would look exactly like her mother, Lacie, when she grew up. Baby figured that was the case since she looked nothing like her father Junior, who had dark hair and dark eyes while she was born with blonde hair and blue eyes. Still, she'd make another addition to their ever decreasing family since most of their relatives had died off already. They were all that was left and Mama had been eagerly trying to get more grandbabies from Junior, Tex, and Tinker. No one really bothered to ask Alfredo to give more children, they weren't sure they wanted any from him. Baby was so busy thinking she hadn't realized that Hunter needed a change until the strong odor greeted her nose.
"Come on Hunter." Baby picked up the infant and sat her on a chair so that she could get a more comfortable hold of her, "You need a diaper change."
Baby carried Hunter out to Tex and Lacie's bedroom where Lacie was sorting out Tex's bag. Lacie was surprise that Tex actually cleaned all his clothes before coming back, leaving her to just put them away in the drawers. Normally he left them dirty for her or Mama to wash but since Tex knew his lover was with child he probably figured he'd better do it himself.
"Lacie!" the older brunette turn to see Baby holding Hunter with a sour expression on her fair face, "Hunter needs a change."
Lacie laughed and took her baby from the blonde, "Oh boy! Hunter, you smell just as bad as you daddy!"
Baby giggled at the playful comment, Lacie and Tex had a weird way of expressing their love to each other. Insults that were really affectionate and perverted grabbing, the two were odd but then again, none of them were quite right.
"Would you like to help me Baby?"
Baby perked and nodded her head excitedly, "Yes, yes!"
"Alright."
Tex had gone downstairs to the kitchen to be greeted by both Tinker and Junior. "Hey there boys!"
Junior, of course, only answered with a grunt while Tinker gave a wave, "So what sights did ya see this time sir?"
Tex shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing good, just a bunch of dirt and truckers."
Tinker laughed, "Yeah well, it ain't like you really go anywhere outside of Texas."
Tex smiled a bit as he scurried around the fridge, searching for something to calm his munchies. "You guy eat anything yesterday?"
Junior made another grunt and pointed toward the back of the fridge. Tinker quickly translated what their brother was trying to say, "In the back, Mama and Lacie made a meat pie with mashed potatoes."
Following their directions, Tex found the meal and pulled it out. Leftovers was a common in the Sawyer household, after all, they need to save as much food as possible since they never knew when their next prey may come. They always saved a plate for Tex, he was predictable when it came to his hitchhiking so they always could guess when he might show up again.
"So," Tex began to ask as he hunted down a fork, "has Mama gotten on your ass about giving her a grandbaby?"
Tinker scoffed, "Been doing that since we found out that Lacie was pregnant."
Tex laughed as did Junior, although you could only tell because his shoulders were shaking. "Hey, we can't do all the work Mr. Evil Genius." Tex pointed at Junior and himself, chewing a piece of meat. "Someone else, as in you, has to start baking some bread too."
Junior made a snort of amusement as Tinker gave Tex an unamused look, "Well jeez, let me think here. I don't rape random women, especially screamers." he sent Junior a glance, "And I don't hitchhike across Texas so I haven't met any random women who agree to join our family and give us kids so where do I bake a loaf when the ovens are no where to be found huh?"
Tex only smiled at Tinker before adding, "I'll bring you one next time I leave. What would you like, Blonde with tight clothes?"
Tinker shook his head and grabbed a box of flairs. "No thank you, now if you'll excuse me." he left the room with the box leaving the younger brothers to snicker at Tinker's disinterest in reproducing for the family's sake.
"Looks like it's up to us big guy!" Tex patted Junior's shoulder before both of them decided to go back to what they were doing.
Tex made his way up stairs, intending on joining Hunter and Baby again but decided to spend some time with Lacie. After all, he had spent at least two months hitchhiking, he should start showering his lover with love and affection. As he reach the room he shared with Lacie, he could Baby and Lacie giggling.
"Hunter's stinky!" he heard Baby mumble behind her hands, "Hunter's very stinky!"
"What's going on here?" Tex poked his head through the door frame.
Lacie smile at Tex and explained, "Hunter needed to be cleaned so Baby's helping my change her."
Tex chuckled as Baby complained, "Hunter's stinky! She's really stinky!"
Tex watched Lacie and Baby change Hunter then shooed Baby out of the room with the infant, encouraging her to play tea party until he came back for Hunter. The small blonde excitedly carried Hunter out as Tex closed the door behind her.
"So what's with the the sudden interest?" Lacie teased as she quickly returned to organizing Tex's clothes.
Noting her challenge, Tex grinned, "Well, it just so happen that Mama has been wanting more grandbabies and Tink don't want himself no kids." As he spoke, Tex inched his way closer to Lacie, slowly draping his arms around the brunette's small waist. It had sure been a long time since he held Lacie especially now that's she's her skinny self again. Lacie was never a toothpick like some of the girls he had been seeing lately. Her waist was naturally small and her curves were absolutely perfect, her chest was about medium sized, plump but not excessively so, which he truly enjoyed. Her long brown hair was always clean and smelled like sweet vanilla.
"And you think it's time to have another?" she giggled as she let Tex press himself against her body. Despite her tall form, she still was short enough to have her head under his chin. "You realize that would mean you'd have to stay here for a while so you can help me with Hunter and a new baby right?"
Tex chuckled into her ear, "Of course, someone has to do it."
Giggling, she let Tex take her to their bed, getting pregnant again after a harsh birthing a month before wasn't an appealing idea but she knew what she was in for when she ran away with Tex. Throwing back bitter memories of being thrown around like a prostitute so her father could keep his stupid trucker business afloat, Lacie joined Tex in their heated moment.
"It's been a long time," he whispered, his thick Texan accent was intoxicating to say the least. "let's catch's up a bit right now."
Tex choked out a sob as he held his dead lover in his arms, he silently curse the black man Benny for murdering Lacie and the woman Michelle for taking his baby girl. He hadn't realized how badly injured Lacie was at first, both had been to worried about Hunter, who Michelle had taken after stabbing Tex in the shoulder. Tinker had tended to Lacie while Tex dealt with Benny he was the first to realized that she had been shot in the stomach. He tried to save her, against the undeniable truth he tried to keep the young woman from death's cold embrace but everything had failed. Mama was easier save, surprisingly she wasn't all that badly harmed despite being shot in the chest but Lacie, she was as good as gone. Tex and Junior returned about a little after ten and by then Tex was already a mess due to the lose of Hunter.
No one knew what to do really, they could promise to find Hunter and bring her home, they could promise revenge toward Michelle and Benny but with all honesty they couldn't do a damn thing. Unless they were stupid enough to come into their territory, the Sawyers could do anything to bring Hunter back to Tex.
"I wish we could do somethin' Tex." Tinker didn't dare call Tex by his real name, with how emotionally unstable he was, he couldn't risk upsetting his brother more than he already was.
Tex shook his head, they, for once, almost couldn't understand him as he mumbled, "Ain't no wish gonna bring back Lacie or my baby."
Junior held Baby in his arms, worried sick for Tex as the cowboy picked up the dead woman's body and carried it up to his room. More than likely he would try to preserve Lacie's body but eventually he'd see that it wouldn't do him any good to hold onto the corpse.
Michelle gently bounced Hunter in her arms as Benny drove down the Texas border, she couldn't see how such a cute innocent infant was really the child of a psychotic cannibal. She really didn't know why she took the baby, she pitied the girl since she'd grow up to be like the blonde kid but was that really enough for her to want to take Hunter?
"I've been meaning to ask," Benny said after a lengthy silence, "what happened in the house?"
"The house?" actually forgetting what he was talking about, a lot happened and she just remembered being tossed everywhere.
"You know," He explained, assuming she was tired and was trying hard to forget the incident, "before I started shooting."
Remembering what he meant, she answered, "They kill Ryan with this weird device-I really don't know what it was-and then they decided to try and kill me."
"That's when I showed up?"
Michelle nodded, "I tore my hands out of the nails and I tried to run but that weird one, he said he was called Tex but that one who found us with his flares called him Eddie, grabbed me and I stabbed him in the shoulder."
"Where'd the kid come from?" He kind of glanced down at Hunter, who was simply looking around the truck as best as she could.
"She was just sitting on the floor after the woman she was with fell to the ground, I think you killed her too." Michelle struggled to remember really how she acquired the infant but she dropped it seeing as she had the child now. "Either way, I don't know what to do with her."
Benny sat on that thought, they were kidnappers now-although compared to the girl's family that wasn't so horrid a crime-but where could they take the baby and know she'd be safe from her family? An orphanage? No, what could they say? That they found her on the side of the road in Texas? The police would have them behind bars in a heartbeat.
"My friend and his wife can conceive." he offered, "Plus he's a Lawyer and his wife's a doctor, they forge all the papers they'd need."
Michelle rolled that around in her head, it would be nice to be able to still see the baby girl and make sure she never goes down to Texas. Nodding, Michelle agreed, "That's a good idea, are you sure they'll be up to this?"
Benny kinda shrugged, "He knows me, we've been friends since we were in middle school. He'll listen to us."
Michelle smiled and bounced Hunter, "You got yourself a new family little girl."
Hunter giggled, enjoying the attention Michelle was giving her. She knew something wasn't familiar about this man and woman she was with but they weren't hurting her or doing anything she didn't like so she didn't care.
"There's a city coming up." Benny stated, breaking the new silence, "We're running out of gas so we need to stop."
"Alright." Michelle agreed, since their escape she heavily preferred to keep going until they had no choice but to stop. It made her feel better and Benny wasn't all that against the idea either. Who knew what was under the Sawyers' control.
"You want something to eat?" he asked,
"Sure," she placed Hunter between them and reached into the glove compartment where Benny had stashed the stolen money he took from Alfredo's gas station. "We can't let anyone see the baby though, we'll get in trouble if she doesn't have a car seat."
Benny nodded, "Let me worry about that." He glanced at Hunter and asked, "Doesn't she have a name?"
Michelle shrugged her shoulders, "I don't remember hearing it if she does."
"We can't keep calling her baby or little girl, why not give her a name?"
Michelle agreed with that, the small girl did deserve to be called by a name instead of baby and such. But what could they call her? "Got any ideas?"
Benny struggled there, he didn't know very many girl names by heart; he always wanted a son so boy names were all he had. "No, not really."
Michelle fought against a chuckle seeing the defeat on the determined man's face. "Well, surely we can think of something..."
Benny tried to think about the names of his female friends but none of them seemed to fit the small girl. What could they call her?
"How about Lucy?" Michelle offered.
Benny shook his head, "Sounds blondish, why about...Kathryn?"
Michelle shook her head, "Not bad."
Benny smiled and asked Hunter, "Do you like that name? Are you a Kathryn?"
Hunter giggle and smiled cheekily as they decided to rename her Kathryn. She didn't understand but she happily responded to the name Kathryn.
"Kathryn it is then!" Michelle laughed as Hunter happily waved her hands around at her new name.
Hey there everyone! Lookie here, I gots a new story out! For some reason, despite Tex have something of a feminine side, I felt like he would make a really cool dad so I wrote this. I don't expect people to like this but who cares! Review and let me know what you think!
