Sorry for not updating in so long, I think this will be the final chapter for this story, unless you want me to give it an unexpected ending with another story... but for right now this is it, enough of my ranting go ahead and read.
Jade's POV
I jammed the key in the doorknob and twisted the door open. Before going downstairs, I decided I'd go check on Cat. "Tori, is that you?" came a muffled mutter once I stepped inside.
"Cat." As soon as I responded, I scurried to her.
She tried to stand up, but immediately had to hold onto the bed for support, tried to say something, and fainted again. I ran and fortunately caught her just before she hit the ground. I was becoming worried that she had received a severe concussion or something, so I decided I'd drop her off at the hospital on my way.
"Thanks Charlene, yep I'll make sure, bye." Her actual name was Charlotte, but since she was always someone you could 'lean on' I always called her Charlene.
Know that I knew Cat was safely secured inside a hospital, with Charlene to take care of her, I felt a little relieved. Not entirely, since Tori was with the monster. I knew he would be armed, since he was a cop, and had me trespassing his property, so I was at disadvantage there. I always had 'surprise attack' in my favor, though, which only meant one thing; we both had equal chances, and even if we didn't, I'd still take the risk.
I always enjoyed the chilly October nights, even when I was a kid. I did not like, however, when the nights were so cold your eye lashes practically froze your eyes shut. This night, in particular, could freeze you all the way down to the bone marrow.
I had parked my car one block away from Tori's house, in case he was watching.
I looked at my watch for what felt like the millionth time.
I had decided to hide behind some bushes behind Tori's house and wait till all the lights were off, hopefully meaning he was asleep.
After waiting a few more minutes, all the lights finally went out living the house in total silence. I took in some air and exhaled profoundly, not knowing what awaited me inside. I circled the house and climbed the tree that was near Tori's bedroom window, locked. I circled my eyes with my hands to get a clearer view of Tori's room. Everything was dark except for the dim light, provided by the moon, which crept inside and revealed what I could interpret as a puddle of blood. I involuntarily shivered at the thought of it being Tori's blood. If it actually was her blood I should hurry before that puddle became bigger with, literally, all of her blood.
I hoisted myself up the roof and decided to circle the house and check every window before I threw myself off and had to brake in by the door. Lucky enough for me the next window to my left, Trina's bedroom window, was unlocked. I crawled in silently not wanting to attract any unwanted attention towards myself.
The room was empty and the only sound seemed to come from downstairs. Great, now I had to go downstairs and check every room while avoiding that bastard. I started walking towards the door and gently twisted the doorknob while giving it a gentle push. "Eeeh" the fucking door screeched, I scrunched and held my breath as I heard the noise from downstairs stop.
Tori's POV
I woke up to the sound of yelling, my head throbbed with pain. I tried to open my eyes but when I did it was so dark I had to blink several times to realize I actually had my eyes open. Was I dead? "Hello" it all remained silent "Is anyone there?"
"You see, I told you that skunk wasn't dead." A female voice said, footsteps drawing near.
"Wait, I'll talk with her first, you wait here." Came the raspy voice of whom I assumed to be my dad.
The sound of rusty metal scrapping against rusty metal pierced my ears. And certainly enough my dad was standing in front of me. He came closer to me, leaned over and growled at me "Hey Victoria". His voice was dangerously low and sounded so detached from the loving and caring father I once knew. He firmly grabbed me by the arm and lifted me up causing an excruciating pain to shoot up from my shoulder. I yelled in pain and tears started to uncontrollably fall from my eyes.
"Shut up!" He yelled over me and slapped me across the face. "I told you there would be serious consequences if you disobeyed me, but you didn't care did you?" he leaned closer to my face and whispered again "did you?"
The heavy smell of alcohol crawled out of his mouth and caused me to want to puke. I tried to contain myself, but a muffled whimper managed to escape my lips. "No" I managed to bark back at him.
That seemed to infuriate him even more for he threw me back down in the floor, drew his leg all the way back and gave a blow right to my stomach. I couldn't help the blood piercing cry that came from my mouth.
"Whenever you address me, you'll refer to me as sir." He pulled me up by my hair and growled "Do you get that bitch!"
I sobbed and stuttered and finally managed to squeak a "Yes sir".
"Now", he continued, "since you seem to enjoy boys so much...", he trailed off, "I'll teach you a lesson slut, your mom and I certainly didn't raise you to be this way, you should follow your sister's example and be a good girl like her." he smirked evilly and let go of my hair again going down and starting to undo his belt.
My doubts where gone, I was certainly dead, but I had unfortunately landed in hell...
"Ohm" After releasing himself for the umpteenth time inside of me, he chuckled a little and finally pulled out of me zipping his pants back up. "Now, was I better or not then those losers." he questioned expectantly, looking down at me.
Deciding I had more than enough broken bones and bruises all over my body I answered what he wanted to here, "Yes" I choked out. I immediately regretted it when I saw his face redden and his breath staring to get heavier.
"What did I tell you about addressing me?" He barked at me while lifting my limp body off the ground and throwing me full force at the wall, re-arranging my bones with a horrific "Snap!" I slid down the blood lubricated wall screaming my lungs out. He lunged towards me and grabbed me by the neck efficiently cutting my oxygen out and causing me to be out cold within five seconds.
I expected, no, hoped to be out cold at least enough time for him to end his job and burry my lifeless body in the backyard, successfully not feeling anymore pain then what I had already been through. Of course this was just my hopes, which didn't come true.
I woke up and immediately noticed something different about this room, it wasn't the cold metal feeling I experienced before, but more like a fluffy and warm feeling.
Again I heard the same female voice I'd heard before, but still couldn't recognize, "David! That's not my point, now my rug will get all dirty!" Oh, so that's where I was, in top of her rug.
"I'll buy you a new one, ok, I just need it while I start the fire, and then she'll be gone." My eyes widened, my so called 'daddy' was planning to burn me alive! I started to hyperventilate at the thought, "Oh, crap, she's woken up.", he noticed.
"Ugh, I am not planning on staying to watch you do your job, call me once you're done." she concluded, high heels clicking away.
He came inside the room and instead of throwing another punch or kick at me like I expected, he walked past me and started dragging wood towards the chimney, the end was near, I could feel it coming...
Jade's POV
Frozen in place I stood while trying to catch even the faintest sign of someone coming up the stairs. Seconds and then minutes ticked by while I anxiously awaited...
Tori's POV
I heard a faint sound coming from upstairs, he apparently heard it too since he immediately stopped and looked towards the door.
One thought suddenly popped into my head, Jade. I knew I had to do something, not let him be aware of the fact that I knew, not let him harm her. I scrapped off the little courage that was left inside of me, filled my lungs with air and scram at the top of my lungs. I was so weak and my throat so dry that what came out of me was more like a shrill cry.
He jumped at this sound and immediately turned around to face me. "What's your problem? I thought you've had enough earlier."
"Wham!" his heavy boot connected with my rib, causing an unbearable pain to spread through my body, efficiently turning me upside down. It became harder to breathe by the second and I was suffocating in my own blood, everything became black...
Jade's POV
I heard a horrible cry followed by complete silence. This was suddenly becoming a horror movie, I turned around to check if jack-the-ripper wasn't about to stab me from behind, nothing. I gulped trying to erase the horrible, bloody images that were playing in front of my eyes. I grabbed the bat that was beside the door and started heading down stairs. I reached the bottom, and noticed everything was pitch black, I grunted under my breath.
I noticed the door to the basement was opened up a notch, that son of a bitch will pay, let the games begin...
I went to the kitchen and choose one of the best pans; I could barely wait for that bastard to crawl from his hiding place. I threw the pan with as much force as I could through the window beside the piano. "Crash!" the strenuous sound caused the whole world to stop and stand for a while waiting for what his next move would be.
The horrific sound of the monster beneath my feet pierced the air; a sudden stampede was suddenly rushing up the stairs. I immediately ducked down behind the counter.
He immediately searched around the room and stomped his way to the window, he came to a halt stop and pulled his gun out of his belt.
He started to search the room again with his eyes and concluded by loading his gun with a small "click".
A noise was suddenly heard from upstairs and he immediately ran after it. "Crap!" I thought, this wasn't supposed to happen. I had to think fast since you could hear him trotting the last portion of the upstairs bedrooms. I decided to take my chances and go down to the basement, where I assumed Tori would be.
Hustling I stood up and came down the stairs, when I looked up I couldn't help the cry that came through my mouth, which I quickly covered with my hand. Tori was barely recognizable now, she was laying there in top of a puddle of blood, limp, vulnerable, half naked, torn up, broken, bruised, hopeless and worst of all, lifeless.
I choked back some tears that where quickly replaced by even more, covering my face, blinding my eyes. "Tori" I helplessly cried and came to kneel down beside her, I couldn't bring my hand to raise itself and feel down for the pulse I was surely not going to find.
A cold, firm hand wrapped itself around my shoulder; I jumped away from the sudden grip. I looked up and saw two evil, red rimmed, soul-less eyes staring back at me, those that could only belong to a monster, the monster that did this to Tori.
Anger and thirst for revenge overcame my body, I jumped up and drew back my baseball bat, but before I could deliver my blow right between its eyes, he darted himself towards me and knocked me back down. We both hit the ground with a loud "Thump!" I tried to push him off myself, but couldn't, not only did he weight at least seventy pounds more than I, but he had also knocked the air out of me.
He stood up again and I tried to do so, but before I could even get up on my knees, he drew his leg back and "Wham!" I could only think of protecting my face, so I lifted my arms up attempting to cover myself, which I successfully did, at the cost of my left arm, however.
I crushed my teeth shut to prevent myself from screaming. I lifted the bat up with my right hand and aimed it right at his weak spot, hit.
He kneeled down in pain and I saw this as my chance for a comeback. I stood up and grabbed the gun he had let go off while he whimpered in pain.
I lifted it towards his head, but he unexpectedly kicked me right in the knee causing me to go down to the floor again. He came in top of me and as soon as he did I kicked him back with my foot. I threw myself in top of him and we both started to wrestle in the floor.
I unfortunately let go of the gun while the struggle was taking place, it slid off somewhere in the room. We continued throwing punches and kicks towards each other until we got to the fireplace and he banged my head against the tiles. That uncontrolled me for a second giving him the chance to grab me by the neck and choke me. His grip was so hard on me I started seeing stars and fading away within seconds.
I reached for his eyes and pressed down with all the might I had left, it was useless; however, for he didn't seem to care at all.
He started rubbing his, now, hard manhood against me and that seemed to kick my adrenaline up because I gathered enough force to raise my knee against his chest and push him with all the might I had left. He stumbled back and tripped with the fireplace hitting his head really hard with the corner, leaving his body unconscious, burning in the roaring flames.
I was left gasping for air in the ground and once the feeling of dizziness finally faded away enough for me to stand up; I made my way to Tori once more.
He apparently recovered consciousness for he was howling like mad while he burned alive in the blazing coals.
I didn't pay much attention to him, for the only thing that I wanted was to get Tori, or what remained of her, out of here.
With trembling hands I carefully rolled her right-side-up. I took my jacket off and covered her nakedness up.
I didn't hear anymore sounds coming from the monster and decided to check if he hadn't managed to get himself out of the fire place.
As soon as I stood up and turned around, "BANG!" a loud bang pierced the air. I felt a burning feeling spread all throughout my abdomen. I touched it with my right hand and lifted it up; my hand was covered up in a red gooey substance, blood.
A cold feeling immediately crawled itself behind the warm rush of pain, as quickly as the bullet hit me, my senses started shutting themselves one my one. My legs were the first to give away, I fell with a heavy "Thump." it was the last thing I heard before that annoying and constant "Beeeeeeep!", my nose couldn't register any smells after, the last thing I got to smell was the faint moist odor emanating from the room in the background and the heavy smell of blood, Tori's blood, blending together with mine, before it got any further I turned around to face Tori's pale complexion and I gently grabbed her hand that was cold like ice, I shivered, for the last time and getting to have one last wish, the only one I ever wanted, I closed the gap between her lips and mine, I finally got to kiss my loved one, my one and only, Tori.
