Chapter 10
"oh come on out little girlie, come on out and find out the truth about why mommy and daddy left you" the man screamed again.
"promise me Seth" April hissed "whatever they do to me promise you will not try to help, promise" he gazed at her before nodding angrily "thanks Seth" she whispered "you have been a good friend" he stared at her again as though trying to pluck up the courage to say something then he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips to the top of her head "come home safe chick" he whispered, April smiled and kissed his cheek gently "I'll do my best" she promised.
She took one last look at him and then gave him an encouraging smile before taking a deep breath and she stood up and walked towards her new opponent, ready at long last for the truth.
April walked slowly and cautiously around the fountain, glaring at the man who stood before her, who smiled at her almost pleasantly, she looked down at the two crumpled bodies lying before her, both now dead, then she looked back up at her new opponent "hello sweet April" he said "you would not believe how much trouble I have been through looking for you my dear", April stopped a safe distance away from him and gestured to the two dead bodies "why did you kill them" she asked, he smiled "they had served their purpose and they were loose ends that needed to be tied up, it was also the cheaper option, why I thought you would be glad, they can hurt you know longer" April looked at him disgusted "whatever they did to me doesn't change the fact that they were still human beings and they shouldn't have had their lives ended like that" he shrugged not seeming to care, then he studied her, April held her head high and watched him too "you are a strange child" he said maintaining the distance between then but circling her, examining her from all angles "you are strong, and fearless, not many children would have the determination to carry on, as you have, like when you were kidnapped you refused to submit and accept your fate, and once you were free you wouldn't remain weak and scared, and now" he stopped once again in front of her "most people wouldn't carry on their search for parents who left them", April held her head higher and then folded her arms "yeah well, I knew that there must have been a good reason whilst they left me, and I tend to find that is you give up and submit, it doesn't get you anywhere, it usually just winds you up dead"
The man in front of her chuckled "true my dear very true" April looked at him "who are you" she finally asked "where is Evan Harding" April asked, he did look surprised that she knew that "ah you are your parents' daughter" he chuckled "a little detective in the making I see, Mr Harding is not here my dear, as for who I am that is not important but if your would like to come with me, maybe I will be able to explain to you who I am and why we have been searching for you" April raised her eyebrows at him "I am guessing something to do with my parents huh, where are they" her opponent smiled "come with me and I will explain all"
April thought for a minute before shaking her head "no" she said "no I don't want to come with you" she turned and began to walk away, waiting. She didn't have to wait long because the next thing she knew someone was grabbing her and they began to drag her away, instantly she jerked down before slamming her head up into his face, she felt his nose break and he howled loosening his grip on her enough for her to wiggle free, she rolled away, before leaping to her feet, gasping the man, spun round to face her, his face livid "oh you want to do this the hard way then huh" he growled, he yanked out a knife and began to move towards her, April quickly thought about what she should do, she stumbled backwards pulling a look of terror onto her face "please" she begged "please don't hurt me" he smiled at her "come then child come with me" April shook her head in a terrified manner "no" she said "I don't want to come with you" "well my dear I am afraid you have too, because I am not going to return to my boss until I have you" April turned and fled, she could hear pounding footfalls behind her, and then arms grabbing her again, this time they were stronger and she knew it was the other man, the back up. She let out a scream but it was muffled by his hand clamping over her mouth, she continued to scream fighting hard but not making any effort to escape, she was terrified, terrified that her plan would not go to plan and that she would be taken and killed, she could feel her locket bouncing on her chest as she struggled, damm she had meant to give that to Seth to protect but then everything had happened with David and Becca getting killed, it had slipped out of her mind.
She was fighting still thrashing in her captors grip but not to escape, but to test and play him, he was dragging her towards their car to where the first man was waiting, he was glaring at her clutching his nose, he was mad but in a way that was what April wanted, she didn't know why but something told her that mad was good, as he would be more likely to slip up, she watched blood from his nose dripping down his face, they dragged her towards the car and as expected she was frisked "well well sweet April" the first man said breathing hard "you came prepared now didn't you" April didn't say anything, she just continued to struggle, the man smiled "what were you planning to do sweetheart" he asked "come out and over power us, force us to take you to mommy and daddy and release them so you could carry on playing happy families, you must know that things wont be the same any more, they left you and you will never be able to forget that, the abandoned you and ran, you were put in foster care and beaten, how can you just pretend that didn't happen, when it did" April glowered at him "you clearly underestimate a strong family bond" she choked out, the other man had his arm around her neck making it quite hard for her to breathe, he smirked "come" he said "let us take you to our boss" April was thrown forward and she fought as they bound her wrists with flexi cuffs, then the smaller man opened a small pouch and took out a syringe, he smiled and then jabbed it into her side, April continued to glower at him, he smiled again and picked up a knife, he placed it against her cheek and then slid it down towards her neck, April gritted her teeth as she felt the cold blade cut through her skin effortlessly, hot blood dribbled down her cheek onto her neck.
The man smiled "you are strong" he murmured "this shall be fun", April felt her limbs going heavy and she staggered and fell as the drug they had given her began to take effect, dark spots were forming in her vision as she struggled to stay awake, above her she could see the sky with the moon fading as the sun rose over shadowing it, just like this case, the not knowing would soon be covered by answers. She looked around the park groggily, it was a beautiful place, with the morning mist, twisting and curling across the dewy grass and the gentle bite of the cold air disappearing as warmth and light covered the field, this was a nice place, a nice final memory of freedom if she died during this.
She saw the larger man looming over her bringing a sense of déjà vu to her as she remembered a year ago the same thing happening. She was lifted and placed in the boot of the car, the drug didn't seem to be knocking her out, it just made her groggy and everything felt numb so she couldn't move, her brain felt fuzzy too. She sighed and watched the two men talking to each other before they closed the boot and got in the car, she felt the engine start and then she was being carried away, but to where was unknown.
XOXOXO
Seth watched angry and frustrated as April moved out to confront this threat, she was too much like her mom and dad he decided, willing to face danger head on, he wanted nothing more than to leap out and face it with her, but she had made him promise not to, and they had always kept their promises to each other, he kept out of sight but took plenty of photos, he watched as April talked to the man and then turned away, he instantly launched for her, grabbing her but in the good old kick ass April way she flung her head back and broke his nose, making him let her go, she launched away and he could see her assessing the situation, as he moved towards her yanking out a knife, a look of fear swept over her face, and she began to beg, before turning and bolting. The bigger man took off after her and caught hold of her, muffling her screams by placing a hand over her mouth, April was thrashing but she didn't appear to be trying to escape, they dragged her past him and he ducked out of sight until the sounds of the struggle were quieter, cautiously he poked his head up and saw that April now had her wrists bound and was standing by the car, she was glaring at her captor as he injected something into her side and then took a knife and drew it down her cheek, Seth gritted his teeth as he saw crimson blood running down onto her neck.
April then staggered and fell, they allowed her to fall to the ground and hit her head before they lifted her and placed her in the booth of the car before slamming it shut, then they both leapt into the car and it spun away, taking April with it, he didn't know if he would see her again, and it worried him. He stood up once he was sure the car was gone and picked up the bag of stuff and the camera and leapt up, he took off running across the field to find Angela, as he had promised April, he hadn't broken a promise to her yet and he wasn't about to start now, plus he wanted to do everything he could to make sure she got back safe and sound.
XOXOXO
April lay there, she felt sick, they had been travelling for a long time now and the drug seemed to be beginning to wear off and it was making her want to vomit but she forced herself not to, the car was travelling very fast and across a dirt track from the amount of bumps and potholes they had driven through, they had turned onto this road not to long ago and she guessed that meant the journey would soon be coming to an end, maybe she would meet the man who had torn her family apart, and find out what had happened to her parents, so that maybe if she survived she would find them.
The car stopped suddenly and she was slammed against the seats and the wind was knocked out of her, she groaned, she blinked against the sudden glare of sunlight as the boot was opened, and the smaller man appeared "sorry" he said sarcastically as he tied something over her eyes to stop her from seeing where she was, then she felt herself being dragged up and then she was being thrown forward, forced to stumble along, there was an iron tight grip on her shoulder, guiding her but not in a friendly way, it forced her forward towards the danger, she was shoved forward into a building and the door was shut behind her, she could hear laughing and whooping from around her and she turned her head frantically trying to see but she couldn't.
They lead her down some stairs and then they stopped, she heard the sound of a door opening and then voices, then one of her abductors laughed "well" he said in a triumphant voice "I have something that might change your minds", April felt herself being yanked forward and then down to the ground, the cuffs around her wrists were snapped but were replaced by heavy chains, she could hear more movement and she turned towards it only to yelp as someone punched her in the gut, she gasped and fell sideways, there was more laughing and then she was pulled up onto her knees again and the blindfold was being untied.
"I think you will be a bit more forthcoming with the information we want now" someone said "you had better or she dies" the blindfold was removed and she heard a moan followed by a gasp, she blinked groggily and looked over to see her abductors face beaming at her before the door was slammed shut and locked.
She looked round confused and dazed and then her eyes widened and she stared at her cell mates as they stared at her in shock and horror "April" one of them whispered and she swallowed looking at them so many emotions running through her she couldn't decide how she felt.
"mom" she whispered "dad"
