A/N: Hello. In case you didn't see it last chapter, A Plan That Backfired will be posted tomorrow night! I'm almost done with my business, so it should be done by tomorrow night! Well, here's the next chapter for His Protector! I know, for sure, that this one's even better than the last one! I wasn't too impressed with last chapter! So, here we go!...
Chapter 10: Missing
Kevin's PoV:
A little while later, it seems, I'm woken up, when I hear a strange noise... I jump up, quickly, panicked that my dream is coming true... I look around, breathing heavily. I don't see anything out of the ordinary... When I lay back down and lay my arm across the bed, I feel something's missing... More like someone, actually... I sit up quickly again. I then say, panicked, "Marv?! Marv?!"
He rolls over, looks up to me, and asks, "What?"
"James... James is gone... He's gone!" I'm shaking. I'm freaked out, because I think Krista has my little brother!
Marv sits up as fast as he can and rushes out of the room. "James?!" he calls out. "James?!" he calls out again. I can't help but sit here and cry, because I feel like this time... something actually happened to my baby brother... Marv rushes back into the room and sees me on the bed, crying and shaking. "Kevin... Kevin, come on,"
He comes over to the bed to pull me off, but I back away, shouting, "No! Go away!"
"Kevin, do you want to find James, or not?"
"She's gonna kill us! She's gonna kill us!"
"Kevin, come on," Marv pulls me off the bed, seeming impatient.
"No! No! She'll kill us! She'll kill us! Let me go!" I scream at him.
He forces me up against the wall and slaps me, shocking me. I stop crying, but I remain shaking. "Kevin, enough! It'll be OK. It'll be OK..." I can't help but hug Marv tightly, because I'm so terrified. "It's all right... It's all right..." he's saying, calmly, while hugging me back. He finally separates from me and says, "Come on," He leads me out of the room and downstairs.
We both call for James, but there's no answer... "Marv... Marv, where is he?!" I start to panic again.
"Kevin, he'll be found, don't worry,"
We look all around the house, but we can't find him at all! We head outside, and I frantically call his name, but he doesn't answer! I start to freak out again, as I think that that nightmare has my baby brother! "James?! James?! Where are you?!" I collapse to the ground again, having another panic attack...
"Kevin, Kevin... I'll call the police, OK? Come on," He pulls me up from the ground and leads me inside...
Kate's PoV:
I get a knock at the door, and when I answer, I see that it's a police officer. Instant fear and panic rise in me, because I fear something's happened to one of my boys... "Hello?"
"Mrs. McCallister?"
"Yes?"
"I'm Officer Stacy Styles. I've taken over for Officer Dickens down at the station. We got a call from Marvin Merchants that your son, James, has gone missing..." A pit instantly drops down in my stomach. I feel like I'm going to faint. "So, if you and your husband would like to go over to Mr. Merchants'," He addresses to Peter, who just entered the room, and I. "We'll be on our way there now..."
I'm too much in shock to do or say anything. So, Peter answers, "Just let us grab our jackets..."
Kevin's PoV:
Marv's on the phone, while I'm sitting here in this small living room, trying to get over my panic attack. It's hard to get over it, when that bitch possibly has my baby brother! The police thought I was dead for four years, so I was imprisoned by her, until I managed to... to get away... Now, my little brother's possibly with her... What if he's never found?! What if she hurts him?! Kills him?! A terrible memory suddenly comes back to me...
Flashback...
12 Years Old...
I'm in Krista's room, watching her sleep. I slowly saunter closer and closer to her. As soon as I'm right up close to her bed, I stare at her. I'm thinking about why I came in here... I couldn't do this... I couldn't do anything... While I'm still standing, with my nervous gut, pondering this in my head, she wakes up... When she sees me, her eyes widen. She demands, "What are you doing in here?!"
"N-Nothing..." I stutter, backing away from the bed.
She slowly sits up from the bed, glaring at me. "I told you to stay out of here! Now, when I said that, I wasn't joking!"
"I... I didn't think you were..."
"Well then, what the fuck are you doing in here?!" She throws something at me. I don't know what it was, because I block my face and scream. Luckily, it doesn't hit me... She gets off the bed and is over to me in an instant. I keep backing away from her, blocking my face, scared. She grabs on to my shirt and shoves me up against the wall. "What did I tell you about coming in here?!"
"I... I'm sorry... I-I know better..."
"Well then, if you know better, why'd you come in here?!" I stare at the window in the room. It doesn't seem to be bolted shut or anything... "Look at me!" I look at her, startled. "Why. Did. You. Come. In. Here?!" I can't answer, because there's no way me telling her that I came in here to kill her would go over well... "Well?! Answer me!" I glance at the window again. I manage to push Krista away. I run over to the window as fast as I can. I test it, to see if it'll open, and it does! I've never gone in here, and this whole time, I think, there was a way out of this Hellhole!
I start to climb out the window, but when I'm close to being out, she grabs on to my foot. "No! Let go!" I cry out. I try to pull out of her grip. When I do, I pull so hard, I fall out the window, landing on my left arm, when I land on the ground. I cry out. I think I broke it! The same intense pain takes over my arm, just like when Harry broke my right arm three years ago... Though, I have to get out of here, before Krista catches me! I scurry up from the ground, holding on to my arm, running into the woods. The woods... again... Terrible memories flood back into my head... Running through the woods... Harry, chasing after me... I begin to panic, as I think about Harry finally catching me... Ben, finally saving me... Ben... He'd probably treat me a whole lot better than how Krista is... I have to get my mind out of my thoughts and focused on where I'm going in these woods... I then decide that I should probably go out onto the road. If a car drives by, I'd be able to flag them down to get some help... After three years, I'm free and able to get the help I need... I run out to the road as fast as I can, hurting my stocking feet on the twigs, stones, and whatever else is on the ground back here. Luckily, it's not freezing temperatures out here, like it was the last time I was in the woods...
Joy and relief take over me more than ever before. Three years of torment from Krista, and I'm finally free! I start crying as soon as I'm out to the road. I start panicking, because I don't feel like any cars will be going by anytime soon... I frantically look around me, seeing if Krista will pop out of the bushes at anytime to grab me... I start to shiver, as a cold breeze takes over me. I'm only in my pajamas and stocking feet! It's not the warmest out here, but at least it isn't Winter, like before! I run up the side of the road as fast as I can, to try and get away from that prison cell of a house!
I hear something coming up behind. Hope and relief start to rise in my stomach, when I turn around to see headlights driving up the road. My eyes widen, and I start to run to that direction, waving my arm, calling for help. The car drives closer and closer. When it's up to me, it stops. I run in front of the car and try to open the passenger door, but it's locked! I frantically knock on the window, for the driver to unlock the door and let me in. I keep crying out for help, when the door's finally unlocked. I open the door and climb in. When I close the door, I turn my head to see my rescuer. When I do, I'm instantly knocked unconscious...
