The He Came Marching In

Chapter 8: The Rescue

Disclaimer: i don't own SWAC. But i own Matt and Chelsea. I made them up...

But if i did own SWAC... MWA HA, HA, HA! lol

There was blackness. No light at all. Matt had gagged my mouth and covered my eyes with a blindfold.

I struggled at undoing the rope that tied my hands together. But it was no use; all i got was rope burns on my wrists.

I scooted forward, not knowing where i was going. Suddenly to hands were on my shoulders. "Where you going sweet pea?" i heard Matt's voice whisper in my ear.

I shuddered at his touch as he pulled the cloth out of my mouth; i gasped for air and started sobbing. "Please let go..." i whined and he laughed, "Why would i do that?"

"If i let you go then i wouldn't be able to do this," he grabbed my face in his hands and pushed his lips to mine. He pushed back so he hovered over me, he pulled away and i started sobbing more. "Shut your face," he growled and i bit my lip, tears streaming down my face.

He felt his way up my arm and to my cheek. "You are so gorgeous," he told me, trailing his fingers up my leg. I flinched when he reached my hip. "You'll be happy Sonny; we can be a family, you, me and little Chelsea."

"I don't want to be a family with you," i told him softly but with anger all through my voice. He stood up and walked over to a room labelled, 'office.' He was yelling into it and out came Chelsea, tears down her cheeks.

"Chelsea!" i squealed and she looked up at me, "Mummy!" she called and ran to me with open arms, "that man is mean mummy! He huwt me." I nodded and laid my head down on hers since my hands were tied.

Matt walked over and pulled her back by her hair, "OW!" she screamed as he dragged her onto a chair and tied her wrists to it. "Matt, why are you doing this?" i asked, crying at the sight of my daughter in pain. "Easy, because you put me through pain..."

I scoffed, "I put YOU through pain?" he nodded ad i laughed, "Sonny, shut up! You left me without telling me you were pregnant or even had a baby, you chose Hollywood over me and you hate me for no apparent reason!" i laughed harder and he cocked his head to the side.

"It was years ago that i was pregnant, i wouldn't have told you because i didn't want to be a mother at such a young age! I left because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, i chose Hollywood, big deal, i know you would have if you were me, i know everyone would choose that over just a boy! I hate you because you were the one that got me pregnant, and i didn't want to be pregnant, and you think that after all this time, you and i would be fine!"

He nodded, biting his lip, "It doesn't make anything better though. You didn't tell me about Chelsea, i had a right to know," i nodded, "I know you did but how the hell could i have told you if i left you, i had no way of contacting you and one more thing... i only met Chelsea a couple of days ago and you take her? That's shallow."

He slapped me hard across the face and lifted up a knife, "Shut your trap or i'll shut it for you," i shrugged, "Ooooh, i'm scared," i told him sarcastically.

He held the knife to my wrist and i held my breath, ready for the pain. But he didn't move. I opened an eye and he just stood there, rubbing his temples with his fingers. I raised any eyebrow.

"I can't do it," he told me quietly and i smiled a little bit. "No?" i asked and he nodded, "You are too gorgeous..."

CPOV

I was panicking.

Completely unaware of the dangerous things he can do to her.

Well... now i am aware. He could kill her, and it's my entire fault. I let her go after Chelsea instead of calling the cops.

I pulled myself up from the couch and made my way to the door. "Chad?" i turned to see Sonny's mum there, a question mark appearing on her face, not literally. I smiled at her, "I feel fine Mrs. Munroe..." i trailed off, "Call me Connie." I nodded and saluted. "Where's Sonny?" she asked me, looking around the place.

I hesitated and rubbed my arm, "She went for walk. She was very upset," i told her smiling, and she smiled back. "I think you are very caring Chad. I don't hate you, nor do i particularly like you... let's just say i like you enough that i don't want to rip your head off when i see you kissing my daughter."

I nodded, totally confused about this conversation. "Thank... you?" i said, exhaling the breath i was holding. "You welcome," i nodded again, unsure what to do next. "Okay then, i am going for a walk too. Need some fresh air..." i told her and she simply nodded.

I ran out and ran back in, "Can i borrow your car?" i asked and she raised an eyebrow. "I need to get some... medication and i don't have my car here," she pulled out her car keys from her pocket and hesitantly gave them to me. "Make sure you don't crash," i nodded and headed out, "And if i see one scratch on it i WILL rip you head off."
I grinned and got in her car.

"Now to find Sonny," i told myself, "Why am i talking to myself?" i started it up, "I'm still talking to myself!" I drove out of the driveway and saw Connie staring out the window. "What the hell am i going to do?"

I drove all the way, trying to remember what the pervert vent crawler said about how to get to the abandoned warehouse.

I shouldn't call Zora that. I will call her the psychopath random. Or little-miss-knows-everything, or the-girl-who-dumped-manure-into-my-car, thanks to her i had to buy another. I really liked my old one...

I pulled up and saw Zora's car there behind some bushes and i parked the car behind the warehouse.

I sat there, trying to peer into the window; i couldn't see anything so i got out and snuck so i was directly underneath it. I saw Sonny and Matt, he was yelling at her and she had her eyes closed and was crying.

Crying. He made Sonny cry.

I'm SO going to beat the crap out of him!

I made my way to the back entrance and pulled from my pocket a bobby pin, you never know when you need one to pick a lock. Oh, its Portlyn's by the way...

I fiddled with the lock and wiggled the nob, it opened.

I snuck into the building, my heart beating very, very fast. I looked around and someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned around, "Geez Zora! Don't scare me!" she smirked they it faded, "What are YOU doing in here?" she whispered. "Saving Sonny, duh!"

She shook her head, "No, i mean, how did you get in? I've been trying for at least an hour or so!" i held up the bobby pin and she snapped her finger, "Man i didn't think of that," i nodded, "Yeah i knew you wouldn't have thought of it. Your brain isn't as smart as mine."

She groaned and stepped out to see Sonny and Matt there. "ZORA!" Sonny Yelled Matt smirked at her. "Crud, Sonny you idiot!" Zora yelled. Matt ran up and grabbed Zora's arms and yanked her next to Sonny. He tied her arms up to a pole. I was smirking on the inside, but i was also scared.

"So, you are Zora," Matt said, pacing around her. "Yeh, what's it to ya?" he shrugged, "Zora, did you come alone?" she nodded, "Yeah, i came with Sonny; i've been working on getting in for the last hour!"

Matt laughed and turned away. I peeked around the corner to see Zora staring at me; she was urging me forward with her finger. I bit my lip, i had no plan. I was just winging it.

I was sneaking up behind Matt and he stiffened. "Hey, dude," i said, Sonny turned to me and smiled and Zora rolled her eyes at Sonny. Matt turned slowly and i came up to him. "Oh look, it's Chad Dylan Cooper," he mocked my name and i glared.

"Shut up," i told him slowly, he raised an eyebrow. "What?" i walked closer, "You let these girls go or else," he smirked, "Or else what?"

I gulped and took a breath; he pulled out a knife and held it to Sonny's arm. "Don't come closer," he told me. I rolled my eyes, "What?" he asked me. "You think you're SO tough. Well, news flash Matthew Henry, you're SO not," Sonny giggled a little, "You think that you can come back after so many years, and have Sonny back. Well, she's with me, and as long as she's with me i'll protect her, i'll keep her and if any jerk, AKA you, comes along, i don't just stand and watch..." i was interrupted, "Stop Chad."

I looked at Sonny who was crying. I took a breath and looked down, stepping an inch closer. "I warned you lover boy!" he pulled the knife along her arm and she squeaked. I watched as blood came rushing out of her arm and she was in pain.

I turned back to Matt who was laughing at my face. "You fucking ass whole," i told him and he stopped. I jumped at him and he fell to the ground, i punched him in the face over and over, causing bruises to quickly appear.

I picked him up by the collar and kneed his jaw. He was bleeding from his mouth so i punched his gut.

He fell down in pain and i kicked his privates. He was crying and i laughed at him. I looked at Sonny, she had her mouth open and Zora was jumping up and down in excitement. "Wow, you got him good," Zora told me and i smiled in victory.

I heard a noise behind me and Matt grabbed me from behind. I grabbed his arms and flipped him, "Wow i'm strong." I was impressed by my own strength.

I ran to Zora and untied the ropes, she patted my arm and walked up to Matt and started kicking him over and over. I untied Sonny and she got up in a rush and turned to me. "Oh Chad," she cried, she grabbed me in a one armed hug.

I hugged back and kissed her head. "Thank you Chad, i love you," she looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "I love you too Sonny."

Zora flipped open her phone and dialled a number, i guessed it was the police.

"You are so strong Chad," she told me and i nodded, "I know, i can't believe myself!" she pulled my head down to her lips and dug her fingers in my arms, kissing me passionately. I kissed back, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Sonny, Chad, the police are here," we both pulled away, Sonny still by my side, she was holding her blood covered arm and i looked at my chest. Her blood was on my chest and she cried again. I looked down at her and she wiped the tears away, "I'm fine," she quickly retorted.

I kissed her head and she tried to smile. "Just calm down Sonny, everything's okay now."

The police ran in with guns and Zora told them what happened. The grabbed Matt who was on the ground in blood and pain. "You're going away for a long time," the police told him.

Zora ran up to a door and opened it, "Come on, everything's okay," she said. Zora pulled out Chelsea from the other room and Sonny ran up to her, "Chelsea!" she cried and Chelsea held her arms out, "Mummy!"

She pulled Chelsea up in her arms and walked back to me.

SPOV

"Oh mummy, i weawwy missed you. That man huwted me. My hair huwts now. He huwted daddy..." i looked at Chad and he smiled, "She called me daddy," he said, kissing Chelsea's head.

"Daddy was huwted and the ugwy man gwabbed me and puwwed me into a caw. It was gween and ugwy." I smiled at her. I loved it how she'd say 'w' instead of 'l' and 'r.'

"It's alright now Chels. The bad man it gone and you'll be fine," Chad looked at me and frowned, "I'm not sure if i could say the same to you,"

Chad grabbed Chelsea out of my arms and i saw my arm. Zora called an ambulance and it arrived in merely minutes.

They ran up to me and turned to me.

(A/N: i will skip the scene where they go to the hospital. They will already be there)

Chelsea was in another room while they examined her to see if she's alright.

I looked down at the doctor who was stitching up my arm. "Nearly finished," he told me; i nodded to myself and looked at Chad who was wincing every time they went through my skin with the needle.

I laughed at him and he looked into my eyes, "Chad you are such a girl. It doesn't even hurt," he nodded, "I'm a girl? I'm the one who beat up Matt for you," i rolled my eyes, "Oh please; a blind snail could beat up that loser," he raised both eyebrows, "Are you calling me a blind snail?" i shrugged at him.

"I don't look like a blind snail," he said, touching his face, "Of course not. You look like Chad Dylan Cooper."

The doctor had finished and he turned to Chad, "You're Chad Dylan Cooper?" he nodded, "My girls love you. Can i have an autograph or two?" Chad smirked at me, "Yeah sure."

He signed a piece of paper and passed it to the doctor, "Oh thank you Mr. Cooper," he nodded, "Chad," the doctor smiled and went back to me, "Ok Sonny, you should be okay now, you're free to go."

I jumped from the bed and thanked him. Chad grabbed my hand in his and we left the room. "So which room is Chelsea's?" he pointed to room 24 and we looked through the glass. She looked like an angel asleep.

We entered the room and the doctor looked at us, "How is she?" i asked, "Oh she'll be just fine. No damage whatsoever."

I smiled at Chad and we both sat down and watched Chelsea sleep.

Sonny's safe, Chad's the hero, Chelsea is fine.

What happened to Zora...?

The next chapter shall be the last one. And Zora will be there. Because you just got to love Zora! :)
