A third sister
Chapter Twelve
After a few hours had passed Silver went upstairs and knocked on Megan's door, "Meg" she said, "Meg please talk to me", she persistently knocked, "Meg" Silver assumed Megan had stormed up to her room after her row with Kelly, it didn't even cross her mind that she would have run to Nick's.
Silver opened the door, the room was empty. It remained in its usual state, she hadn't packed anything, so Silver hoped and prayed that she hadn't run away.
Silver rushed downstairs, "Kel she's gone"
"What?" Kelly exclaimed, immediately giving her worried sister her full attention.
"She's not in her room, she's gone"
"No she can't have, she wouldn't have" Kelly said, unsure that Megan had actually gone, she stormed upstairs.
"See" Silver stated.
"Is everything still here?" Kelly asked. Silver looked around, she opened the top drawer of Megan's bedside table.
"Kel she's definitely gone, her blackberry, passport and the photo of her and mom isn't here. She wouldn't leave without them" Silver confessed. Kelly rushed out of Megan's room and straight downstairs, Silver followed. "Kelly what's wrong?"
"Nick's taken her"
"How do you know she's with him?"
"Well where else would she go?" Kelly snapped. "He's got her, he's taken her away from me, if he hurts her..." She muttered, almost shaking.
"Kel you're not making any sense. What is so bad about him that you're not telling me?" Silver asked, Kelly searched for the phone, rushing around the house. "Kelly!" Silver exclaimed.
"He's done some really bad things"
"Like what?" Silver persisted.
"Silver he went to prison is that not bad enough?"
"Well if it was just for a unpaid parking ticket then that's not putting Meg in any danger" Silver said, "What did he do?" She asked. "Kelly just tell me."
"He was in a gang, they dealt drugs, they made enemies with the wrong people, shot people, raped girls"
"Wait what?" Silver exclaimed.
"He was the gang leader" Kelly said, "He hurt so many people. He's a paedophile"
"That doesn't mean he's going to hurt Meg though, she's his daughter" Silver said.
"I was practically his daughter and it didn't stop him from doing it to me" Kelly finally confessed, Silver stayed silent, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, her gasp was silent.
"What?" Silver finally managed to say. Kelly continued to turn her house upside down looking for the phone. "Kelly."
"Silver we haven't got time"
"But Kelly."
"Not now." Kelly said, she finally found the phone and dialled 911. "My sister has been kidnapped" She surprisingly managed to give the police all of the details.
"Meggie" Nick said, "what are you doing here?"
"I hate her, she won't let me see you. She won't let us be together. I won't let her stop you being my dad"
"Hey, it's okay" Nick reassured Megan, rubbing his hand up and down her arm, "it'll be alright" He pulled her towards him for a hug, he held onto her tightly.
"She's never going to let me see you" Megan said, "I hate her"
"No one can stop us from being together" Nick said, "you can live with me Meggie. Tell you what let's run away together, make a new life, a fresh start, together. Let's go abroad. To Mexico, we can drive"
Something in Megan's mind suddenly clicked, Nick seemed to have her in a possessed state, and she suddenly woke up: "No" Megan frowned, "I don't think that's a good idea"
"C'mon Meggie, it'll be like it used to be, like it should be. Me and you. Together. Forever." Nick said trying to convince Megan.
"No. I don't want to leave"
"Listen. You are my kid and you will do as I say." Nick shouted at her, Megan suddenly feared Nick. "Now let's go" He said, "c'mon" he seductively said, he planted a kiss on the corner of her mouth. "What the hell are you doing?" Megan shouted, trying to push him away. Nick grabbed her, and locked his arms around her. "Get the hell off me" Megan kicked and screamed, he was too strong for her to be able to escape from his embrace. He held his hand tightly over Megan's mouth, Megan choked and tried to break free to get air, but she couldn't. She managed to bite his hand and elbow him in the stomach to get away.
Megan ran, but Nick grabbed her, forcing her to the ground, she banged the side of her forehead on the glass coffee table as she fell. She was knocked out, completely unconscious. Nick took this opportunity to leave the country. He picked up Megan and threw her in the back of his van.
The police were straight round to Kelly's, "Are you sure she's been kidnapped miss?"
"Yes, I know he's got her. Have you not seen his records?"
"Yes miss, but he hasn't committed an offence for a while, and has been clean for years"
"A leopard never changes it's spots. He's got my sister, I know he has"
"Okay, well we'll find her if he has" the officer assured.
The police headed over to Nick's house, as that is where everyone presumed Megan and Nick would be. An officer knocked on the door, "Nicolas Adams, it's the police, open up" He ordered, he knocked again "open the door" he demanded. There was no answer. The police man kicked the door down. The officers all rushed in, armed with guns. There was no sign of either of them.
"I'm sorry Miss Taylor, it doesn't look like your sister is here" the chief said. Silver let go of Kelly's hand, which she was holding onto tightly, and went to look around.
"Kelly?" Silver said calling her sister over.
"What is it?" Kelly asked, walking over to her.
"Look." Silver pointed at the trail of blood on the floor.
"Oh god." Kelly said, "what has he done to her?" Kelly worried.
The police then called some forensics specialists and they swabbed the area, to try and identify if it was Megan's blood. Deep down everybody hoped it wasn't, but knew it was.
Kelly was still persistently calling Megan, as was Silver.
Megan woke up, in a daze, she winced in pain as she felt her head. As she brought her hand down she saw it was covered in blood. Her head had been cut open. Megan pulled herself up so she was sitting up. She felt her pocket and was surprised that her blackberry was still in there, she could feel it vibrating. The caller ID flashed up as Kelly. Megan had never been so relieved.
"Kelly" Megan said.
"Meg!" Kelly exclaimed, as she wasn't expecting a response. The police officers were immediately alert "Where are you? What's happened? What's he done?" Kelly exclaimed.
"Has she got a tracking device on her phone?" one of the officers asked Silver.
"Yeah she does"
"Right guys, track her using the GPS" he turned and said to some more police officers.
Silver stood next to Kelly and bit her lip, hoping to hear her sister was safe.
"Meg, where are you?"
"I don't know" Megan replied, "It's dark, it's really dark. I think I'm in the back of a car, or a lorry or something. I'm scared Kelly, I'm really scared" Megan said starting to cry.
"Meg it's okay, we're gonna come and get you, it's going to be alright" Kelly said, although she too was in tears.
The police officer took the phone from Kelly, "Megan, did Mr Adams mention going anywhere?"
"Umm he said, he was saying something about" Megan hesitated, she felt light headed and very woozy, she wasn't a doctor but she knew her head injury was bad. "Something about running away, about leaving"
"To where Megan? Where did he say?" The police officer said calmly and slowly.
"Mexico"
Another police officer turned to the chief and said "That's right, he's heading to the border" he pointed at the GPS.
"Right Megan I need you to stay calm, and do not tell him that the police have been alerted. Is that clear?" Megan was silent. "Megan?" the chief said, "Megan?" He repeated.
"Meg!" Kelly shouted. Megan's blackberry beeped 'Low Battery'
"Help me" Megan managed to say before her phone completely ran out of battery. By this point Kelly was in hysterical tears, Silver was trying to stay strong but her eyes were full of worry.
The chief turned to an officer, "Alert HQ, this is a critical case, get everyone on it, block the highways, get the helicopters out, and the SWAT team at the border if necessary"
"Yes sir" He responded.
"It's okay, we'll find her" He assured Kelly.
"What do we do now?" Silver asked.
"You go home and wait there"
"I can't just sit around and wait!" Kelly exclaimed.
"There's nothing you can do Miss Taylor, it's best to just wait. We've got it covered" He assured.
"Please. I need to be there when they find her. Please." Kelly pleaded. The chief reluctantly agreed and an officer drove her and Silver to the highway.
Now that Megan's phone had died they could no longer track her using GPS, so they had to guess whereabouts they would be on the highway.
Megan was still in the back of the van, she had lost a lot of blood now and was extremely light headed. Even though the van was going at high speed Megan thought the only thing she could possibly do was try and get out. But the loss of blood made her really weak, and even if she could open the door she wouldn't be able to, Nick made sure of that.
All of a sudden Megan could hear sirens, and lots of them. They were surrounding the van. Suddenly the speed of the van increased and it started to swerve. Megan's body started to shake, and her eyes began to close by themselves, Megan passed out. She had lost way too much blood.
Police cars, vans and helicopters were now surrounding the van. Kelly and Silver were behind in one of many police cars.
Nick sped past lots of cars and weaved in and out to get away from the police. He drove faster and faster, until suddenly a police car emerged in front. He turned and braked, but the van flipped sideways. Crashing into the side of the highway. Megan's body was thrown around in the back, hitting the sides of the van, crushing her bones, squashing her organs, and making her head injury even worse.
The police surrounded the area, and stopped all of the passing traffic. The van was on its side from where it flipped. One of the police officers alerted the emergency services immediately, as the van was very damaged, and they already knew Megan was injured.
Kelly and Silver rushed out of the car they were in and ran up to the van.
"Keep away please, it might blow up" a policeman said.
"Our sister is in there!" Kelly shouted. One of the van doors at the back had flown open after the crash, Silver looked inside, she could see Megan. She brushed past the policeman who tried to grab her but she was too quick.
"Meg!" Silver exclaimed. She crawled into the van, through the small gap that hadn't been blocked in by stuff that was in the van.
"Silver, be careful" Kelly exclaimed, relieved and worried at the same time. Silver grabbed onto her sister's hand, "How is she?" Kelly asked worriedly.
"She's unconscious" Silver replied.
Within minutes lots of ambulances turned up. The paramedics practically pushed Kelly away so they could get to the door.
"Hi sweetie what's your name?" a paramedic asked.
"Silver, I'm her sister"
"Okay Silver, I need you to hold your sister's head still"
"Okay" Silver nervously replied.
Firemen arrived and started to saw the door off the van and remove the rubble so that the paramedics could get in.
"I know this is scary Silver but just stay calm" the paramedic said, "Now is she breathing? Listen at her mouth and put your hand on her diaphragm" Silver did as the paramedic.
"She's not breathing" Silver panicked.
The fireman broke off the door and the paramedics climbed in, one took Silver's place holding Megan's head, Silver looked around the van, she saw all of the blood everywhere.
"Silver" Kelly said, wiping away her tears, "C'mon let them do their job" Kelly held out her hand and pulled Silver out.
"She's not breathing Kelly" Silver said.
"It's gonna be okay, I promise" Kelly replied putting her arms around Silver.
They all heard banging and a shout for help, it was Nick. Somehow he managed to climb out of the van, he had blood on his face, but apart from that he didn't seem to have been hurt by the accident. The police swarmed in on him. Kelly held Silver back as she was trying to get to Nick to practice her right hook. A paramedic quickly took a look at Nick, but they said he was injury free, this just angered Silver even more. She managed to get out of Kelly's grasp, and somehow get through all of the policemen.
She charged straight and Nick and punched him right in the face.
"Look what you've done to my sister!" Silver shouted, "Look!" Nick turned to see Megan being pulled out of the back of his van, her face was covered in blood and her body was lifeless. She looked dead.
"Silver c'mon" Kelly said, "he's not worth it" Kelly scowled at Nick. She grabbed both of Silver's arms and pulled her away, before she got done for assault.
"This isn't over" Silver shouted, "you're gonna pay for what you've done"
The police grabbed Nick and handcuffed him. Kelly and Silver climbed into the back of the ambulance.
A paramedic sat next to the stretcher where Megan was lying, he had put a tube down her throat in order to get her breathing again. Another paramedic was standing next to Megan's head, applying pressure to her severe head wound.
They quickly arrived at the ER, "We've got a major RTC" shouted one of the paramedics as they wheeled the stretcher in quickly, "Megan Taylor, 16. Severe wound to the head, bleeding has not stopped, major lacerations in the body, was found unconscious on scene, trachea was dislodged and restricted the airway. BP is very high"
Kelly and Silver followed closely behind completely dazed by all of the medical talk which they didn't understand. They were told to wait outside while the doctors worked. Silver was standing right at the door to see what was going on. Kelly had backed away and sat down on a chair with her head in her hands.
"This is all my fault" Kelly blubbered, "I've done this to her" Silver turned around and saw that her sister was in tears, she sat down next to her.
"What?"
"I'm the reason she's like this" Kelly continued.
"What? Why?" Silver said, she wasn't really paying attention as she was so focused on what the doctors were doing to Megan.
"I knew this would happen, I knew that if I had an argument with her she'd storm off to his and he'd do something like this to her" Kelly said, tears streaming down her pretty face.
"Kelly." Silver said, still figuring out what she was actually going to say, "this isn't your fault. By the sounds of it she was planning on going to his anyway. If you didn't have that argument we wouldn't have known that she ever saw him, and we wouldn't have known to call the cops and track her down" Silver stated, "if you didn't have that argument we probably wouldn't have found her. She'd either be halfway across Mexico or downstairs in the morgue"
"Silver, don't joke"
"I'm not, I'm being deadly serious" Silver said, "So stop beating yourself up about it, cause you've done nothing wrong. It's that scum bag that did this to her"
One of the doctors then came out, "Miss Taylor?" He said.
"Yes" Kelly replied, immediately getting up.
"Your sister is stable, she's had a blood transfusion and her BP is back to normal. She's got a lot of damaged and torn tissue, but considering the impact she got off lightly. She has a few cracked ribs, and a bruised collar bone, her arm was dislocated but it's been put back into place and should heal relatively quickly. As for her head injury, it's very serious. If you'd like to follow me" He said, Silver and Kelly both looked at each other worriedly, they followed the doctor into the ER.
"This machine here" the doctor pointed, "is a life support machine. It is keeping your sister alive" he stated. Kelly and Silver were completely silent, "the head injury was very deep into your sister's skull, and damaged part of the brain"
"Brain damage?" Kelly said, almost having to say it out loud to believe it.
"I'm afraid so." The doctor replied, "her body is not yet functioning properly, so this machine is doing that for her. She is in a mild coma but that was probably from the stress of the impact, and the blood loss. We anticipate that she will wake up in a few hours"
"And if she doesn't?" Silver bluntly asked.
"If she doesn't we will reassess her treatment."
"What does that mean?" Silver asked.
"Let's just focus on the present moment for now, your sister is stable and that's the main thing"
"But she's on a life support machine!" Silver exclaimed.
"Silver." Kelly snapped at her sister, "I'm sorry" she said turning to the doctor.
"I fully understand this has been a very traumatic few hours, let's just focus on getting your sister better. I fully believe that she has got a fighting chance"
So this is what you asked for, hope I wrote what you imagined. I know it's slightly OTT but I just had a thought in my mind and ran with it! I don't really know if Megan should have any long term injuries. What do you think? And what do you want to happen to Nick?
Thanks for reading and thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far (it's really appreciated), and Happy New Year!
