Anthony climbed in his car and drove towards the house, he could hardly wait to get there! He was finally getting his son. His bitch wife shouldn't have taken him away from him! But now his little man is back where he belongs! He'd convinced himself in his drug fuelled haze that a car crash had taken him from him but no SHE took him. Just left in the middle of the night like a thief! He arrived at the house and jumped from the car. No one was standing in his way.
Danny P.O.V
Danny left the house and climbed into the truck. Dupe must have moved it for him, no-one else had been out this morning, he mused. He anxious to get home, everything was finally going right in his life for a change. He and Alice were going to be married and God willing within a year they'd have baby number 3. Well 4 for him with Rosie and 6 if you counted Evan and Olivia.
Oh god! He thought I'm accumulating quite a collection.
He'd been driving for 10 minutes when he saw the matriarch elephant by the side of the road. His truck skidded to a halt. He grabbed the vet box and walked over.
"Hey girl!" he said softly. "You ok?"
He saw she'd been snared again! This annoyed him, he took snares off her feet on a regular basis
It didn't taker her long to sort her out. "Don't worry, if I find out who did this to you I'll shoot them ok!" he grinned at her. "Now you go and keep all those rowdy men in order yeah!" he told her.
She stomped away. His life was so great at the moment. He honestly didn't think it could get any better. He was walking back to his truck, he was about 6 yards away when the truck without warning exploded. The force of the blast flung him back slightly, he landed on his back in the dirt he mostly fell from shock though. He raised his head and shook it slightly. He saw his truck, well the blackened shell that used to be his truck!
"Ok this isn't right!" Danny said. He could have been in that truck, and trucks don't explode by themselves. The engine wasn't even running for gods sake! God he'd invited his kids into the truck, he paused and Anthony had stopped him. God it was all clicking into place! It was blatant he was a explosives expert for the army. Alice had asked him not to leave her too. He was a good 10 minutes away from the house by car. He started to run. God he hoped he hadn't left his family with a madman!
Alice heard a car screech to a halt outside the front door. Anthony climbed out and walked towards the house.
"Anthony there's been a explosion - I need you to watch the twins. I already telephoned Olivia and she's on her way home but she could be an hour! Can you watch the twins for me?" she asked.
He completely ignored her and tried to walk past her. He was muttering and grinning to himself. She grabbed his arm.
"Anthony did you hear me?" she asked.
He stopped and looked at the hand that was on his arm. She snatched it back as if she'd been burned.
"It's all your fault!" he spat at her.
"But I've showed you, I've showed all of you!" he muttered.
"Anthony what have you done?" she asked quietly. She felt nervous he was acting weirder than usual.
He was pacing again muttering.
"I showed him I showed you both!" he said giggling.
"What have you done?" she repeated her voice raised.
"I punished him for keeping Aaron away from me. He's my son and no-one is having him but me" he yelled
"No Anthony, not Aaron Andrew!" Alice said softly.
Anthony moved quickly. Lightning fast he pushed her against the wall and pressed his arm against her throat. "HIS NAME IS AARON!" he said slowly. He pronounced each word slowly and carefully. He suddenly released her.
"Where's Danny, what have you done with him?" she croaked..
"He went out on the truck, I put a surprise on it for him. 15 minutes later KABLOOEY! BOOM! It was so easy too!" he told her grinning.
"What did you just say Anthony?" she didn't believe what she was hearing.
"The truck - I put a bomb on the truck!" he laughed maniacally. "He was on the truck too, bet he had a blast!" he said "Now I get to take my son and leave."
Alice was in shock! "Danny was dead?" after everything they'd been through together, there was no way this could have happened! It then registered that he'd said he was going to get his son. No fucking way! Alice ran in the house at full speed behind him.
"KIDS RUN GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!" she yelled at the top of her voice.
She saw Anthony's back and jumped on it. She wrapped her arms around his throat and squeezed hard.
"IF you think your getting my kids your wrong! I'll kill you, you bastard!" she screamed at him.
Anthony's army training kicked in instantly. He reached behind and grabbed a fistful of her hair, he then leaned forward and flipped her so she was on her back on the floor. She hit the ground and the air left her lungs in a whoosh. She was on her back gasping, winded. The kids appeared.
"Run!" she gasped at them.
They ran into Danny's room and locked themselves in.
"NO!" she squeaked.
Anthony walked to the door and kicked it in with one swift kick.
The kids were by the bed.
Alice rolled over and heaved herself off the floor. Again she ran at Anthony. She was still breathing funny, her breath coming in gasps. Her babies needed her, she had to do something so they could get away! Danny's babies needed her, that thought spurred her on! Anthony was in the room and had bent down to get Andrew. She grabbed the clock on the beside table and bashed it off his head.
Unfortunately the blow had hadn't knocked him out, all it had done was make him mad.
He lunged for her, "You bitch!" he spat at her.
"Kids run, get out of the house!" she yelled at them. The kids ran. Anthony thankfully ignored them, he grabbed her by the scruff of her neck.
"Your gonna pay for that!" he said venomously.
"BITE ME!" she yelled and spat in her face.
His face contorted and he picked up and flung her off the wall, her head hit of the mirror and it shattered into a million pieces onto the floor. Her body hit the floor and the broken mirror showered her. He saw he lying there and went to walk away.
"Is that all you got?" she asked. "God Danielle's done worse to me than that!" she goaded him. Anything to give the kids more time to get away.
He walked over to her and picked her up by the throat. "Are you really that stupid?" he asked. "There's a hundred ways I could kill you right this second. Keep your mouth shut and I'll let you live!" he said.
"Fuck you Asshole!" she yelled at him.
He bounced her body off the wall again.
"Ooofh!" she said.
He then slapped her and shook her. Alice teeth rattled after the slap and her brain felt like it was being scrambled with the force of his shakes. He finally flung her again with all of his might. Her body bounced off the wall. She landed on the floor with a heavy thud. She tried to get up again but the darkness was descending fast, she was unconscious on a bed of glass. Her last conscious sight was of Anthony walking out of the room with a satisfied smile on his face.
Anthony was walking through the house. Everything was quiet.
"Aaron c'mere son, time to go home with daddy!" he said.
No answer.
"Aaron!" he yelled.
All was quiet, he walked into the kitchen and noticed cleaning supplies on the floor. He smiled, they were in the cupboard.
He bent down and opened the door. He heard a hiss and was suddenly blinded. He fell back onto his bum in the kitchen.
He heard a childish shriek and then a air freshener can hit the floor.
"We got him Andy c'mon run, granddad dupes on his way. He took the radio with him!" a girl shouted.
He roared in anger and tested opening his eyes. He could se out of his right one. He got up and reached the kids as they were at the front door. He picked up Andrew with one arm. Andrew kicked and screamed.
Danielle turned and saw him. "Get off my brother!" she shrieked and kicked him hard in the shins.
"OW!" he yelled. Danni smiled cockily. She withdrew her leg to kick again when he picked her up with his free arm. Not content to be held she punched and kicked him. When that didn't work she bit his arm hard!
Just like her mother, she just won't give up! He thought.
"Your not taking him!" she shouted.
He ignored her shouts and walked into her fathers room. She saw her mother on the floor in a crumpled heap, lying on a bed of glass. She stopped kicking and punching "Mummy?" she whispered in a high pitched voice. Alice didn't move.
Anthony opened the wardrobe and threw her in it. She was about to bound out of it when he slammed the door. He then wedged a chair under the handle. Danielle jingled the handle. And then started kicking the door.
Anthony was satisfied she couldn't get out. This had taken longer than he'd anticipated. But now he was free to leave. His left eye was stinging. Andrew was still fighting.
"Aaron stop it I'm warning you!" he said walking out of the door.
He saw Danny running towards the house.
"Put my son down Anthony!" Danny shouted and raised his rifle.
"Danny put the rifle down, I don't want to use this but I will!" he said.
He brandished a small but very deadly blade.
Danny quickly threw the rifle onto the floor.
Anthony grinned although there was no humour in it only evil!
"You idiot! Do you really think I'd kill my own son!"
He pulled a gun from the small of his back, took aim at Danny and pulled the trigger.
Alice was on the floor of her bedroom, she could hear banging.
"Lemme out!" a hoarse voice cried.
She opened her eyes and saw a chair wedged beneath the wardrobe door handle. Alice got up and winced she walked over and removed the chair. Danielle bursts out ready to take on the world.
She sees her mother and jumps into her arms. "mummy?" she asked. "He took Andrew!" he green eyes were filled with tears. "I tried to stop him!"
"Aw baby this isn't your fault!" Alice said and looked out of the window. She saw Danny, her beloved Danny. He was alive. He'd stop Anthony taking Andrew she suddenly saw him toss hid gun to the ground.
"No Danny!" she whispered.
She saw Anthony's vile grin as he pulled a gun from his back.
"Oh God!" she breathed. And hid Danielle's face in her shoulder.
She saw Anthony take aim.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she shouted as he fired.
Danny was jerked backwards from the force of the bullet entering his body. He lay on the floor unmoving.
Oh my god she thought her eyes were filled with tears he shot him! that's it this is WAR! She thought angrily. She was gonna fight for him coz she knew he'd fight for her too!
"Right Danni, go and lie under your bed for no reason do you leave that bed unless the police or mummy tells you too ok!" she said with purpose.
"Ok mummy! Are you gonna be ok?" she asked.
"I'm gonna be just fine!" there was a steely glint in her blue eyes.
She saw her mother walk out of the room. She ran to her room.
The big noise had scared her and she could see her daddy on the ground. Why wasn't her daddy moving? she thought. She quickly shuffled under her bed and prayed.
