Chapter 4 – Mackenzie's a Bad Guy


Mackenzie rushed out of her room, to find that Devon was a little way down the hall, all dressed in black and at his feet lay Falls. Mackenzie rushed forward, and scooped the girl up in his arms, she was unconscious again. Mackenzie turned to his step brother.

"What were you doing to her?" He snarled.

"Nothing." Devon lied. Mackenzie stood, with Falls in his arms.

"She screamed." Mackenzie cried. Devon cringed slightly.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Devon whispered. Mackenzie glared at him.

"Fine, she woke up and started screaming and hitting me and then I dropped her." Devon finally admitted. Mackenzie looked over her again, if she had woken up and was unconscious now, she had obviously hit her head, again. But this time it was Devon's fault.

"What were you thinking? You'd kidnap her and then ransom her for the rights to my falls?" Mackenzie asked.

"You were quick to jump to that conclusion. Tell me do you think it would have worked bigger brother?" Devon snarled slithering his way closer to him and Falls, Mackenzie turned trying to keep Falls away from him. As if he was going to let Devon hurt her again. Mackenzie however couldn't find his voice to answer his scheming Step brother's question.

"No." Mackenzie snarled. "But if you try that again or if you've hurt her even more I'll see to you getting cut off entirely."

Mackenzie left after his empty threat, he knew it wasn't possible to cut Devon off, he had already tried, but what had just happened scared him. Thinking on it now, Mackenzie was almost certain that if he had to, he would trade his beautiful falls for the girl he was now tucking into bed, and the prospect of that scared him.

When she finally awoke, her head was groggy, every part of her body hurt, from her toes to the tips of her hair. She was staring up at a cream colored ceiling through foggy eyes. She was somewhere she didn't recognize but she knew from the way it was decorated that she didn't belong there and that worried her. Where ever she was, and she has no idea where that could be, was silent, except for the semi-silent exhaling. For a while she couldn't establish if it was hers or someone else's until she finally decided to suck it up and see if there was anyone else in the room. Though it caused her more pain then she previously had imagined she managed to turn her head to the right, just as she decided that this would be the last time she'd attempt to move. Luckily she caught sight of a blonde, sleeping in an arm chair in what looked to be a very uncomfortable position. He wore a blue collar shirt, his pink and blue stripped tie loosened and askew, his hair sticking up in random places, his pale face looked sallow and unhealthy, and there were bags under his eyes. For some reason, something she could barely place she was afraid. From what she could remember, she had the feeling of complete defenselessness as someone held her in his arms. Somewhere in the back ground she could hear the rush of water and suddenly her heart was pained with a fear so strong she could feel it whelming up in her throat.

"It didn't have to be this way, you could have just given me what I wanted, but you just had to be difficult didn't you? Well it doesn't matter now, no one can survive the rapids, and even if you do you won't survive the falls. Happy swimming!" A voice cackled and then she was falling.

She didn't like that memory, she wanted it to go away, was this boy beside her the one who dropped her? Had he figured out that she survived and was now going to try again. She knew this was irrational in her state, but she needed to try and get away from him. She struggled to get up and suddenly noticed just how injured she was. Her left arm was in a cast as was her right leg. She could feel something tied around her head, so she could assume that she had cracked her head open. Beside her the boy moved in the chair, trying to find a more comfortable spot. Freaking out she swung her feet over the side of the large bed, nearly crying out in pain as a fire ignited from her injured foot and all the way up her leg. She luckily managed to soften it into a low groan as she continued to try and move. It wasn't until she got half way that she felt the tug of something on her right arm. She glanced back and saw that there was a blue string spanning from her wrist to the boy on the arm chair. What was he trying to keep her there? Panicking she struggled to tug the string out of his grasp however in her haste she forgot just how unbalanced she was and with one strong tug she pulled the boy off the chair and knocked herself to the ground. There was a loud groan that was too deep to belong to her and she knew she had woken the boy up. She heard him stand up and she heard him groan again.

"Not again! Devon if you have Falls again I'm seriously going to hurt you." She heard someone cry. She wondered who this Falls was, or who Devon was, and what he would be doing with Falls, but she suddenly became more worried with the fact that the boy had vaulted over the bed. He was making his way to the door when he saw her lying there on the floor. He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her. His blue eyes were clear and blinking, his mouth was open in shock.

"You're awake." He whispered. She didn't know what to say, she could only stare at him, afraid he would do something to hurt her.

"Are you ok Falls?" He asked crouching down to be level with her. She tried to move away from him and she could see the hurt in his eyes. What was he so offended about, that she had the nerve to live? And was he calling her Falls?

"Come on now, don't be afraid." He whispered, holding a hand out to her, she stared at it dubiously.

"It's alright, I won't hurt you, I promise." He whispered, there was something shining in his eyes, something that told her to trust him, but she was still doubtful.

"Come now Falls, I haven't spent a week and a half patching you up and taking care of you just to have you be scared of me." He chided, obviously getting frustrated. He had taken care of her? That didn't make sense, why patch her up after tying to kill her, why take care of her? Maybe she was misreading the situation. He was inching closer to her and this time he let her, he took her right hand and untied the string that was on her wrist. She then let him take her hand and help her up. She looked up at him fully understanding now that she had been out for a long time and that she probably looked horrible, for some reason she was mortified.

"I can't keep calling you Falls, so why don't you tell me what your real name is?" He asked her, as he helped her back to the bed. On the way there she had enough time to contemplate it and she was suddenly drawing to a blank, she couldn't remember what her name was, who she was, where she came from, nothing, everything was blank. She looked up at him her eyes brimmed with tears, she saw the concern on his face as he knelt down beside her.

"What's the matter?" He asked. Tearfully she whispered.

"I can't remember. I can't remember anything." And then burst into tears, allowing him to take her in his arms and sob on his jacket. She wondered if she'd ever remember who she was.
