Chapter 2
She couldn't see. Either she had gone blind or there was something over her eyes. She tried to move her arms. She couldn't. She had something strong over her wrists, stopping her from moving them. She tried to move her legs, but found the same problem.
What is happening? She thought. Her heart began to beat fast, sweat making her hands clammy. She couldn't breathe.
He's got you. You were bad. You need to get out, you need to punish yourself.
"Why? What did I do wrong?" She asked desperately, her breathing becoming faster and faster by the second.
You didn't do it right. God wants you to punish yourself. Go on, your worthless thing. Go on, find a razor, Now!
Her hands stretched out, looking for the object she craved so much.
Yes, she thought, Maybe if I just draw a little blood, God will let me go.
"Help me find a razor, and then everything will be alright."
You know where it's hidden. Get it, get it, do it, do it, or he will kill you,get it, get it! do it! do it, or he will kill you.
All she could hear were them. Repeating those words over and over. She screamed.
6 hours earlier
"Baby, come on, wake up." Emily leaned over and kissed Aiden softly on his lips. That seemed to wake him up. She changed her position, so she was on top of him. He smiled and looked deeply into her chocolate eyes. She smiled lovingly back at him and captured his lips in a deep kiss. Aiden kissed back.
"Would you like to go out for breakfast?" Emily sighed and rolled off Aiden, and began to put some clothes on.
"I wish I could, but I need to go speak to Daniel. I won't tell him anything, I'll just make something up."
Aiden smiled cunningly, stood up and grabbed Emily's clothes, threw them on the floor and pushed her forcefully against the nearest wall.
"Well, before you go.. Would you like to join me in the shower?" Emily didn't respond, but simply pulled Aiden into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
The Graysons where sitting at the dinner table, eating breakfast in silence. The doorbell rang. Emily walked in, her heels impacting on the wooden floor. The noise was making Daniel's headache feel like someone was banging a hammer to his head.
"Alright"
The foreign word just rolled off her tongue. Emily has never heard that word come out of her mouth as a greeting, probably something she picked up from Aiden.
Daniel looked up, hearing his finance's voice. She looked beautiful. Natural wavy hair, a blue dress and a very nice glow that was following her.
"Emily, how nice of you to come by, unannounced. What do you want, if I might ask?"
Victoria's cold voice brought Emily out of her deep thoughts. Ugh, she hated that woman and it grew stronger with every heartbeat.
"I actually wanted to come by to explain to Daniel about yesterday."
"Well I think that everyone would like to hear your story about yesterday, wouldn't we?"
The rest of the Graysons muttered a quiet yes to Victoria, all secretly very intrigued about the events of yesterday.
"Well.." Emily cleared her throat, her mouth suddenly going dry.
"The thing is.. Aiden was a little upset, that's all. It's nothing to be concerned about. It's al-"
Daniel interrupted Emily, Sensing that her well rehearsed story was utter bull.
"Yeah, okay but that doesn't explain why he came to you? why you were hugging him? why you climbed on top of him? Hmm?" Daniel was clearly still upset about the situation.
Emily bit her lip, trying to think up a reasonable answer to his question.
"He, er, got some bad news about his family." Wasn't exactly a lie, thought Emily. " And he just wanted to talk and he was so upset and the only thing that used to calm him down was a hug like that an-"
Daniel interrupted Emily again. "How do you know that? you only went out with him for 3 weeks! How could you possibly know that?"
Emily took a deep breath. "Even though we only went out for 3 weeks, he is my friend."
"How could you be friends with that pathetic excuse of a man? Don't you know what he's done to this family? I mean how stu-"
"How dare you?" Emily snarled, suddenly enraged by Daniel's comments. " Seriously? You don't have a clue what he's been through!"
"Oh what and you do?"
"Yes! I do! Because he trusts me and he shares things with me." Emily was now shrieking at Daniel, not caring about who was watching. "I trust him with my life! How dare you." Her eyes glistening with tears.
"Don't you know how stupid you sound? He is a sadistic man! I mean what is going on inside your head? Do you need to see a doctor? I can't bel-"
Daniel was cut off by the door bell. Two police officers walked in, and Emily's heart started to beat faster and faster.
"May we help you, officers?" Victoria asked, venom dripping off her words.
"Yeah, we're looking for Aiden Mathis? Or Emily Thorne?"
Emily suddenly felt sick. Why did they want her and Aiden? Have they finally caught on to all the crimes they have committed?
"I-I'm Emily Thorne." Emily responded, voice trembling. "What do you want?"
"Well we have written here, that you are Mr Mathis' emergency contact, and we haven't been able to communicate with him, so that's why we are here."
Emily gulped. Her hands were clammy. "Is he in trouble?" She asked, begging God in her thoughts that the cops hadn't discovered anything.
"No. Actually it's the opposite. I assume you have his number?" Emily nodded. "Please can you call him and tell him to come here? It's rather important."
"Sure." Emily smiled her best fake smile she could muster. She pulled her phone out of her purse and dialled Aiden's number.
"Hey baby, you okay?"
"Aiden, you to come over to the Graysons, Erm.. it's important."
"Is something wrong?"
"Just come as quickly as you can."
"Okay."
Emily hung up and put her phone back into her purse. Victoria asked if the two Policemen would like anything to drink but they refused. Daniel was staring at Emily, noticing how the colour had faded from her face. She looked like a ghost.
Daniel whispered harshly into Emily's ear "Why do you think the cops are here? Hmm? Because I can tell that you're freaking out. Maybe they have come to take the little scum bag to jail."
Tears started to fill her eyes. Daniel noticed this and immediately felt bad.
"I'm sorry babe, I guess I just woke up on the wrong side of my bed this morning. Come here." He pulled Emily into a hug and planted a soft kiss on to her cheek.
The doorbell rang again, and Aiden walked into the manor.
"Mr Mathis?" Aiden nodded. " We are detectives Morris and Bentley. We have some news." Aiden stared over to Emily and she walked forward.
"I know this might come as a bit of a shock, but Mr Mathis, we found your daughter, Alive."
Aiden couldn't believe what he just heard. He suddenly felt the ground beneath him collapse. He tried to breathe. In and out. Tears started to flow quickly down his face, followed by loud sobs. Emily ran over to Aiden. She couldn't believe this was happening. Tears where falling down her face as well. She comforted him and hugged him and whispered loving things into his ear.
"W-when? H-how? I d-don't." Aiden tried to get the words out of his mouth, but his state of shock was stopping him.
"We received a call, that a man was beating a child in front of the public. Two officers arrived and then the man pulled out a gun and shot the child twice in the chest."
Aiden stood up from the ground, bringing Emily with him. He suddenly felt livid. How dare this man do this to his daughter? Aiden was going to kill him. His knuckles where turning white. Emily noticed and quickly latched her hand on to his, comforting him in the process.
"Is she okay? I mean is she stable?"
"Yes she's stable for now, but the main problem is her mental health. We think she has some sort of mental illness. But a psychiatrist will be able to determine if there is something going on when she wakes up."
"What do you mean? Why does she have mental health problems?" Emily asked.
"Well before she was shot, she was shouting about how God had chosen her, how she was an angel and she had wings. And then there's her back.."
"What about her back?"
"She has deep slashes all down her back, in the shape of wings."
"Oh my god. When can I see her?"
"We will take you to her now, if you would like?" Aiden nodded. "Miss Thorne, I presume you will be coming too?"
"Yes, of course."
"Alright, let's get going."
The officers started to walk out of the house, with Aiden and Emily following, but were cut short by Daniel.
"Wait! I want to come too, to support Emily." He followed the others out of the house.
