Chapter Ten; The Little Runaway

Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying my father's story so far. There are only a couple of more chapters until the end, and the only reason he's asking me to do this is that he thinks a little girl asking for some more reviews will do better than if he just asked you himself. If you already reviewed, thank you very much, and if you haven't please do. We could really use that feedback. And just to clear one thing up, in case you're wondering why Chucky referred to Tiffany as his girlfriend in this story and not his wife, you will find out in part two called Chucky and Tiffany. Alright, I guess I got to get going since we're almost at the end of the story. Please enjoy and I'll see ya later! J - Mary

Kristen hurried downstairs as Chucky picked up the note. "Chucky, what's wrong? Where's Mary?" she asked him anxiously. "She's gone. She ran away." He answered trying to hide the anxiety in his voice. "I have to go after her." She said quickly but Chucky simply shook his head at her. "No Kristen, this is all my fault. The reason that she ran away was because she was mad at me not you. I have to be the one to find her and fix this." He said as he crumpled up the note inside his hand. "Alright," Kristen agreed with a nod. "What do you want me to do?" she asked him. "You better stay here and call the police, it's very dangerous for her out there right now." He answered.

"Why? What are you talking about?" she asked him. "Charles Lee Ray." He answered inside a serious tone. "But you're Charles Lee Ray aren't you?" she questioned. "Yeah, I am, but I'm only Charles Lee Ray the second. I'm talking about my father, Charles Lee Ray the first. He's even more dangerous than I am, and I heard on the news that he and Jack escaped from prison again." He explained. "Who's Jack?" Kristen asked him. "He's my brother, and he's just as dangerous as our father." He answered. "You're telling me that Mary's out there all alone with two serial killers on the loose!?" Kristen cried. "Don't worry Kristen calm down, I promised her that I wouldn't let anything happen to her and I stand by that promise." He began as he withdrew his pistol.

"Relax, I have everything under control. I just have to find her before those bastards do." He said before running towards the front door. "Alright Chucky, just be careful and please bring her back safely!" Kristen called as Chucky stopped and turned around to look at her. "I will, trust me. I made a mistake about not going after her before, and I'm not going to do it again. The biggest mistake that we could ever make is by not learning from them. And by doing so I just hope that I'll be able to make it up to you and Andy." He said before he turned around and ran out the door closing it quickly behind him.

"Chucky there you are! I've been looking all over for you!" James cried as he ran over to him. "I'm sorry James, I can't talk now. Mary ran away and God only knows what could happen to her. Especially if my father and Jack find her." Chucky said worriedly. "I know, your grandfather told me all about it." James said. "What is it with you people!?" Chucky yelled. "You must have all lost your minds! I told you that my grandfather died a long time ago, and so unless he's my guardian angel there is no way on earth that you could be talking to him!" he cried.

"That's because he is Chucky. He's watching out for you and Mary." James told him as he rolled his eyes. "Look! I really don't have time for this alright! I'm the one who has to watch out for Mary! And you either know where she is or you don't, but if you don't then please don't waste my time!" he snapped. "Actually, as it just so happens I do." James said. "You do? That where is she!?" Chucky yelled. "I think she said that she was going to New York City to become a star on Broadway." He told him.

"Well come on then we have to stop her." Chucky said as he grabbed ahold of his sleeve. "Alright, but just one thing Chucky, how are we going to get there? My car's in the shop." He told him. "I don't care, I'll find a way. Mary has to know how I feel about her." He said as they started walking towards the street. "Chucky, I'm sorry." James began. "For what?" Chucky asked him. "For ditching you guys in the woods. I was scared and well you're right. I don't know what it's like to love somebody like you love Mary. I always heard that it was a weakness." He explained.

"Ha that's funny, that's exactly what I used to think. But I was wrong, love isn't a weakness it's power. Because not everybody in the world can feel it, and not everybody in the world deserves it. And you can never truly understand that until you actually feel it for yourself." Chucky said. "It's like in a movie I once saw with my girlfriend. It was a pretty shitty movie, but it had a point by saying that it's a great feeling to love somebody so much who loves you back in return. Or something like that." He said. "What's happened to you Chucky, I mean you still kill people and carry weapons but yet you're talking in a way that I've never heard you speak before." James said with a grin as Chucky stopped and grinned back at him. "Simple, I'm new and improved." He began. "And I have never felt so alive." He finished.

James and Chucky climbed inside a taxi cab at the end of the curb. James slammed the door behind them before Chucky removed his gun and pointed it at the driver's temple. "To the airport and step on it." Chucky told him as the driver looked back at him nervously and started shaking with fright. "I mean it, step on it Grandpa." Chucky said. "I would do what he says if I were you." James warned. "Right then," the man said before turning back around and started to drive away.

As soon as they had gotten to the airport, the driver parked the cab at the curb and Chucky and James burst out of the car slamming the door behind them before running inside. "Oh God, she could be anywhere in this place!" Chucky exclaimed as he started examining the busy scenery around him. "Let's just go down to her boarding gate and see if she's there." James said. "Alright," Chucky said with a nod of agreement. "And sure enough, Mary was there sitting down in one of the chairs waiting to be called for boarding.

"Oh thank God." Chucky said to himself before sprinting over to her. "Mary! Mary!" he cried before finally getting her attention. "Chucky? What are you doing here?" she asked him with disbelief. "I have_ to_ tell you something." He said as he stopped to catch his breath. "What is it?" she asked him. "Listen kid, I'm really sorry that I lied to you. But I can't let you do this, your mother needs you." He began with a pause. "And so do I." he finished.

"You mean you need my body." She said sadly. "No, I need you kid. You're the best friend I've ever had." He told her. "You really hurt me." She told him. "I know, and I hate myself for it, so I can understand if you hate me too. But you've got to hear me out first alright. I made a HUGE mistake by not running after you before and I'm not going to do that again. I would do almost anything in the world for you, and I couldn't let you go without you knowing that. I love you." He told her. "You do?" she asked him through a lump inside her throat. "Yes. Just as if you were my own little girl. And I am so very sorry for hurting you, and if you give me a chance I'll never do it again." He assured her.

"Alright Chucky, I forgive you." She began. "And I love you too." She said as she stood up and threw her arms around him inside a tight hug before starting to sob inside his chest. Chucky wrapped his arms around her tighter seeing how upset and scared she really was. "Shh,.." he began as he kissed her forehead. "It's alright." He whispered. "I'm sorry, I just miss Daddy so much!" she exclaimed. "I know you do, but he's always with you. And I know I can't change the past, but I can change the future. I'm never going to let you go again. And I'm going to spend every day that I have left on this earth trying to make it up to you." He told her before kissing her hair softly.

"Chucky I want to go home." Mary said breaking out of the embrace. "I miss my Mommy." She told him. "I know kid, and I've come to take you home." Chucky said brushing her tears away. That's when suddenly there came a loud whirling siren in the background. "What's that!?" Mary exclaimed worriedly. "I don't know, but I'm going to check it out. I want you to stay here with James." He told her. "Chucky don't go! I can't lose you too!" she cried with a loud sniff. "It's alright kid, don't worry. You're not going to lose me. But I can't lose you either, so you have to promise me that you'll be a good girl and stay here like I told you." He said as she sadly nodded her head in agreement before Chucky ran away.
