Chapter 10: Why Didn't You Go?
Maybelle must have lit the shed on fire! 'I thought she was gone!' I thought. The Calico gave a demonic like laugh.
"She's still here. Go find her, and bring her to me." Calico ordered his henchman.
The henchman did as he was told and walked off.
"No." I whispered.
Adrenaline and rage was flowing through me like the race cars at a circuit race on the final lap. Calico looked at me.
"What?" he questioned.
I gave Calico the dirtiest look I could give anyone.
"If you or your puppet touches Maybelle again, I WILL kill you both. Thats not a threat, thats a PROMISE." I said through my teeth.
He laughed again, "And what are you gonna do about it?!" Calico asked.
"You're a worthless piece of shit that can't even save himself! Think about what's happened so far!" he exclaimed.
I thought about it. He was right, but I didn't care. As long as Maybelle's gone, and not here, i didn't care. Just then, I heard yelping. It was Maybelle's.
"No." I whispered.
"Looks like this is gonna go faster than I thought." Calico said.
The henchman came around the corner of the shed, holding Maybelle by the rope she was tied with earlier, tight around her neck. The henchman pushed Maybelle down beside me.
"I thought I told you to get out of here!" I told Maybelle.
She didn't say anything. Maybelle just starred at me with sincere eyes.
"Well well well. Didn't get too far did you, little doggies? Good job finding her." Calico told his henchman.
The henchman just nodded. 'Why doesn't he talk?' I thought.
"Now, I think I know what I'm gonna do with you two." Calico told both Maybelle and I.
"First, I'm gonna kill the bitch, then I'll get to you later." Calico said.
"Pick her up and bring her into the shed." Calico ordered his henchman. The henchman was doing as he was told and was walking towards Maybelle.
"No, wait!" I yelled.
"What the fuck do you want now?" the Calico asked me.
Calico and his henchman looked at me. Maybelle looked at me too.
"Take me. Let her go. If you let her go, I'll do whatever you want. Please. Just... take me." I begged.
Maybelle gasped, "N-No! Y-you can't do this! Please! You can't!"
"What the hell are y-. Oh. I see what's going on here. Little underdog came to the rescue his lover. Well this isn't gonna be a happy ending, at least not for you." Calico said.
