..."Gwen" Max screamed at the top of his lungs as he walked around the forest in the middle of the night trying to find his granddaughter. He had been searching for hours and still nothing came up. He was frantically worried about her.
He was not sure what had happened after the fight. Ben had returned back to the ship with a broken arm and an unconscious rhino.
He had helped a small boy find his mummy. Max had asked about his cousin but he was too in shock to answer. He had gone silent.
Max decided to take his grandson to the hospital before returning back to the park in search of Gwen. The old man bent down coughing lightly from the smell of burning.
"GWEN!" He screamed knowing he was getting closer. He came across a fallen tree asceur from where the stump laid. He turned his flashlight on noticing a small campfire that he just been smothered out. He noticed a plastic drink bottle and grabbed it noticing blood on the top.
Someone had definitly been here. He just wondered who. That was when he spotted it. A plumber's badge. Gwen's to be exact. He picked it up inspecting it broken riming before searching for more clues. He found blood, he found vomit, he found the tracks of another. A man with large boots on. His eyes widened. Someone had grabbed his granddaughter.
I know this is kinda a down chapter but it's the only upsetting chapter. I've already written the first few and they're a lot more happier than this. Please review.
Scene change: Kevin's hideout
The first thing Gwen felt was numbness passing her over her vulnerable body. It was heaven from the pain that she had went through yesterday. She felt warm right now like she was back in her own bed. She wondered if the whole event was just one big nightmare. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling noticing the dark grey ceiling and the light uncomfortable for eyes to look at. She winced her eyes trying to raise her head in an attempt to find out where exactly she was.
She felt her arms restrained as she tried to move them.
They were trapped by something soft holding her wrists to either side of the bed. She breathed in and out frantically feeling oxygen entering her nose through a pipe. She noticed her clothing hanging up on a nearby wall. He white top and black pants were completely shredded and covered in layers of blood. She wondered what had happened to her plumber's suit. What if Kevin had it and was working on something that could take out her cousin.
Gwen winced her eyes. She had to get out of here. She pulled her head forward noticing her right leg i a massive cast being held up in the air by wires hanging from the roof. She winced her eyes as pain shot through her back. She cried out relaxing back down on the pillow regretting ever moving at all. Across the room a door opened and closed. Gwen didn't have to even guess who it was. He came over to her with a bowl in his hands.
"Morning" He smirked down at her. Gwen winced her eyes.
"Where am I? What happened? Where's my family?" Gwen demanded to know. Kevin took a seat beside her and smiled. "Huh, just yesterday you were begging me and now you're demanding answers from me" He shook his head ironically. Gwen stared up at him. "What are you going to do to me?" Gwen had to know. He had to at least tell her that much. Kevin took a sip of the chicken soup moaning. "Well, I could tell you or you could eat?" He bent down next to her. Gwen's stomach rumbled. She was starving. "Well, what's it going to be?" He asked.
Gwen didn't answer him. She fell silent. She nodded her head towards the bowl. Kevin smirked. He took another spoonful and moaned. Gwen grit her teeth cursing him on the inside. "Why don't you ask nicely. I am the one who saved you" Kevin informed her. Gwen breathed out. "May I please have something to eat. Please Kevin" She asked him politely. He thought about it.
"Soup it is then" He took the spoon bringing it near her lips.
She slurrped it as best she could as Kevin fed her. "Now, can you please tell me what you're going to do with me?" She asked as he fed her another spoonful. "I suppose I can do whatever I want with you but my main plan was to ransom you off"
Gwen's eyes widened. He smirked at her reaction. "I bet one of your old enemies would pay a lot just to have you. Last I heard, Michael Morningstar was obsessed with you" He teased. On the inside, he really hated Morningstar.
Everything about him was creepy even by Kevin's standards. He was going to make Gwen his hostage for a while and sell her back to her grandpa but right now he decided to mess with her. Kevin placed the spoon up to her lips waiting for her to take another sip but she didn't. He could tell by the look on her scrunched up face that he had crossed the line.
She was going to be sick.
He instantly grabbed a bucket from nearby and brought it next to her. "Don't you dare through up on this bed, Gwen, or I'm going to throw your ass out of here" He threatened her. Gwen winced her eyes tears streaming down her face as she leaned over close to the bucket restrained hands keeping her from moving any more. She coughed lightly spluttering spit and the slight bit of blood from her mouth.
Kevin's hand was hesitant before it landed on her back trying to comfort her and stop her from vomiting. He was lucky that he didn't. If his mother found blood on the sheets he would've been dead meat. He helped her lay back down before brushing the locks from her face. "Guessing your not a fine of Morningstar"
"Darkstar" Gwen corrected him face still scrunched. "And no," She breathed out before looking up at him. Kevin saw the mixture of red and green in her eyes. He wondered how she had managed to survive such a traumatic event. Probably from being stubborn, it seems to run in the Tennyson family. "Where are we?" She asked groaning. Kevin's eyes lit up as he looked around his garage. "My place. This is my garage"
Gwen stared over to his green and black car. "Oh," She breathed out. "My place is around the front but you don't have to worry about that. All you have to know is that trying to escape is a pretty stupid idea and one that I bet your dying to try" He smirked.
Gwen shook her head. "I can barely move right now without being in pain" She informed him. Kevin smirked. "Good" He grabbed a drink bottle off the table beside her and brought it next to her lips. Gwen gulped it down thirsty as ever. "I gotta work on my car. Don't be a pesk" He stood up turning round. Gwen just rolled her eyes as she watched him turn the t-v on to the superbowl before grabbing his wrench. Gwen wasn't tired and decided to watch the old television at least until she fell asleep.
Minutes ticked by into hours as Gwen's eyes lazily stayed connected to the far away screen. She watched the crowds roar and the players show off. It reminded her of her cousin for some reason. She didn't notice Kevin come over and turn the screen off. She narrowed her eyes at him. His cheek covered in oil a long with his hands. "I was watching that" She informed him. "You shouldn't" Kevin comebacked. "You should be asleep"
"I'm not tired"
"Go to sleep" He ordered her walking over to her intimidatingly.
Gwen just watched him not intimidated or threatened by his dominance.
"Go to sleep or you won't be getting any lunch" He threatened her yet again his dirtied hand and wrench close to her face. Gwen stared at him before huffing.
"Fine," She mumbled wincing her eyes shut. He watched her for a second before walking over to a nearby suitcase packed with medical supplies from the house. He grabbed a packet of painkillers and brought them over to her. He plopped down beside her causing her to yelp and wince in pain. "Ow," She gritted her teeth as she glared at him.
"Quit wining" He grabbed the bottle of water and gave her the packet.
"Two, tablets" He told her. Gwen lifted her unbroken arm out of the covers and grabbed the packet and the water in one hand. She took the tablets out before taking them with the water. "Happy" She huffed. He grabbed the water bottle off her before drinking the rest of it. "Ah," He threw the bottle in the bin before smirking at her. "Get some sleep. You need to heal" He stood up. Gwen nodded. "Will you at least turn to the t-v back on?" She asked. Kevin looked down at her.
"Please" She forced a begging smile.
Kevin couldn't help but smirk.
"Fine, but you better sleep" He turned the button. Gwen smirked closing her eyes drifting off to sleep as she laid there tucked up on the green couch. Kevin couldn't help but stare at her figure.
Even hurt, she was beautiful. He hadn't really bothered to notice her when he was a kid but now that she was grown up she looked incredible. He had never met anybody that showed such hostility and anger yet be so loving and tender. He wondered what she thought of him. He knew she had thought of him as a monster as everyone does but in her eyes he didn't see that. He didn't see fear, he didn't see himself as a monster. She saw him as a human being. Something that he was and will always be. He shook his head trying to wipe off the stupid, insane thoughts as he saw Gwen's dull green eyes open again and stare at the screen secretly. He smirked.
"Whose winning?" He asked her as he replaced the tire on the car. Gwen smirked. "The guys in blue and white" Kevin looked over to the screen.
"That's a first" Kevin muttered before staring down at the screen. Gwen turned her attention towards the boy. "Maybe they worked harder this year" Gwen suggested continuing to watch this kick off. "Right, cause they're the underdogs and they're good and they're bound to win" "It could happen" Gwen scratched the bandage on her face. "Or it's because they actually bothered to try some new tactics this year" She looked down at Kevin. He rolled his eyes as he spoke back to her.
"Right, sure Gwen" He breathed out putting the final touches on the new wheels. "They look expensive" Gwen stared at the shinnyness of them. Kevin smirked. "It's because they are Tennyson prof"
"Nothing's Ben prof" She rolled her eyes. "That's you included. You ruined my backseats"
"Did not"
"You don't realise how much you were bleeding and throwing up"
"My leg got crushed"
"And you're lucky it's still attached to your body"
Gwen stared at him giving him the touche look. "I lost a lot of blood, shouldn't I be dead or something"
Kevin snickered. "Did you know your cousin is a blood donor"
Gwen arched her eyebrow. "No, he's not. Kevin what did you do?"
"I snuck into the hospital and took some blood"
"Was it Ben's?" Gwen asked. "Do you think I'd be here if it were your cousin's. It was type 0, I put it in you last night while you were passed out"
Gwen narrowed her eyes at him. "So you don't know where my cousin is?"
"Nope, but you are going to tell me where you live" He walked over to her and sat down beside her. Gwen arched her eyebrow. "I wouldn't tell you where I live"
Kevin smirked passing her another bottle of water. Gwen swiped it out of his hands before she slowly unscrewed the lid. She arched her eyebrow watching his every move. He just watched her. It was getting to Gwen. "Alright, what?" She asked gritting her teeth in anger. Kevin shrugged as she took a sip. "Dunno, it's just that I'm surprise by how much alcohol you've drunk and you still haven't realised it yet"
She spat out the vodka and turned to him. "You've been getting me drunk"
"What? you're in less pain"
She threw the bottle at him. He hissed in pain annoyed that she would even dare. "Why aren't you afraid of me?" He grabbed her black shirt and spat in her face. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Simple" She smirked.
"Cause you are not scary" She told him smugly.
"Oh yeah" He was willing to test that. He grabbed the bottle splashing the content in her face in an effort to scare but not harm her. She winced her eyes turning her head to the side in an attempt to breathe. He smirked watching her wriggle as he grabbed another bottle and opened it before grabbing her chin. "Drink it" He told her forcing it down her throat. The liquids spluttered in the bottle as she choked on the content. She brought her hand up smacking the bottle out of his hands and turning to her side trying to breathe as she choked on the liquid. It seemed to be enough to snap Kevin out of his rage induced fit. He stared down at her in guilt brewing within him. He couldn't believe that he had hurt a girl that couldn't even lift herself up.
His clutch on her black shirt loosened as he turned away still listening to her coughing fit. He stood up walking out the room and slamming the door giving her 20 minutes until he began to interrogate her.
Scene Change: Max
The old man knocked on his grandson's door waiting for a reply. "Yeah, come in"
Max opened the door to see Ben in bed watching re-run cartoons of his favourite show. Max noticed the large cast covering Ben's arm. "I still can't find your cousin" Max informed him. Ben arched an eyebrow before turning back to the t-v and sipping his smoothie. "Ben why won't you help. You know she could be hurt or in trouble or worse" Max stared at the boy. Ben placed his smoothie down thinking back to his cousin's limp body sumasautling through the air.
He knew she was dead. He just didn't want to tell his grandpa.
He didn't want to tell himself. If he found her body; a lifeless ragdoll, he wouldn't know what to do. He knew he'd walk into an abyss drinking down the pathetic taste always plastered on his tongue. "Gwen's probably just sulking grandpa. She's probably just trying to get attention" Ben rolled his eyes. "But I found her Plumber's badge covered in blood" Max showed it to him but Ben refused to believe it. "I think someone took her Ben" Max stated. Ben gulped as he listened to his grandpa's words.
"Ben, she's your cousin. We have to help her"
Ben sighed. He couldn't say no to his grandpa. He removed the blankets and stood up. "Fine, where should we start first"
Scene Change: Gwen
Gwen took a breath of air before noticing Kevin had left the room. She wiped the alcohol off her mouth knowing full well that it wouldn't get her drunk. Alcohol had no effect on Antodytes anyway.
She looked over to a desk nearby where he had left his keys forgotten. She looked over to her leg stuck restrained by a hanger. She jerked her body forward trying to remove it from the reins that held it but it didn't help. She had to sit up and remove it maually.
She sighed lifting her heavy body up and grabbing hold of casted leg.
She pulled at the strings plucking them one by one until her leg was removed from it's holder. Her leg felt like it was at least 50kg as it plumetted down hitting the shin of her other leg. Gwen winced her eyes in pain trying not to scream.
"Come on Gwen, you can do this" She reminded herself. She looked at her goal.
The keys so close yet so far away. Gwen grabbed at the fine fabric trapping her wrists and removed them before swivelling her legs over the edge of the couch and forcing herself to stand.
She yelped in pain instantly collapsing to the floor with a loud thud. Luckily for her Kevin wasn't around to hear her. She winced her eyes removing the oxygen tube around her face before dragging her body over to the table.
She grit her teeth sliding over the oil hardly ruining her shirt. Gwen took a breath before lifting herself up with one arm as her broken arm made an attempt towards the keys which she grabbed first time.
She mentally patted herself on the back before looking at the car. She had never driven one before. Her cousin had always dictated where or when they went together. If not school or hanging out with Max and Ben then it was always the library for Gwen.
She didn't stray too far from home mainly because of all the enemies that they had made along the way. Either of them ready to take any of them out one at a time. She dragged herself over to the drivers side and opened the door before climbing in and shutting the door.
"Okay, keys go in the ignition" Gwen turned her head to the left and placed the key in the hole. "Mirrors, check, seatbelt...I'll worry about it later" Noticing she couldn't wrap it round her body. She placed her left foot on one of the pedals before looking around for the remote that opened the shutter.
"Huh." She pressed a button and instantly the shutters roll up to reveal Kevin standing there shocked as he held a bag of food and two drinks in a cupholder.
Gwen was frantic as she searched for a button to turn the car on. He began to race to her door. Gwen turned the keys in the ignition slamming down the accelerator but nothing happened.
"MOVE" She yelled at the car before turning her attention to the gears and the handbrake. She pulled the handbrake down and grabbed the gear stick with no numbers on it. Gwen bit her lip as she moved it down hoping something would work. She placed her foot on the accelerator again. the car moving just in the wrong direction. It went straight back colliding with the wall and several shelves.
Kevin was about to collapse as he saw his once fixed car in ruin.
Gwen coughed choking on the fumes as she removed herself from the car and fell on the ground. "My baby" Kevin's hands hovered over to bonet staring at the dents that laid tattered in it's mess. Gwen lifted herself up onto her left knee and right hands as she coughed the fumes out of her lungs. He walked up to the car sitting in the front passenger seat and turned the engine off stopping them from both suffocating from the fumes. "How could-" He turned his attention towards the girl on the ground coughing her lungs out.
"YOU" Kevin stood up walking over to her and grabbing her shirt raising her up to meet his eyes.
"YOU RUINED MY CAR. AGAIN!"
Gwen winced her eyes at his booming voice. "Kevin, I'm sorry okay" She mumbled.
"SORRY? SORRY DOESN'T BRING BACK MY RIDE" Kevin roared.
"What's the big deal it's just a car"
Kevin fell silent. His bottom lip quivered and shook. Gwen opened both her eyes. "I didn't mean-"
Why did she feel so horrible right now.
"No!" He dropped her to the ground rubbing his eyes. "A-are you...crying?" Gwen asked recovering from the wall. Kevin rubbed his eyes trying not to sob in front of his enemies cousin. "No, I've just got something in my eye" He sobbed.
Gwen stared at him mortified. The big bag Kevin Levin was falling apart because of her.
"Kevin, I'm sorry. I didn't know it meant that much to you"
Kevin hugged his car as he cried. "I'll buy you a new one" She suggested.
"Wh...what?" He sniffed. Gwen gulped. "I earn a lot of money from working with Ben. A lot of people sponser us. I get paid about 4 grand a week. I can buy you a new car just like the old one only better" Gwen suggested. Kevin looked down at his car and thought about her offer.
"Not take back?" He asked still sobbing.
Gwen smirked. "No take backs"
His eyes lit up in glee. "I'll grab your wallet" He ran out the door.
So it does turn into less of a hostage situation and more of a stuck together situation. Please review.
