Runaway

(Day 16 - Outskirts of Stone Canyon - Two Miles into Stone Canyon Hunting Grounds)

"Wake up whore." Opening my eyes slowly I register two things my jeans are back on and the pain. The God awful pain surging through me.

Groaning I try to roll over to locate a better position but am stopped as Josh saddles my hips "Good morning slut. How did you sleep?"

"You're crazy." The choked cracked whisper is all I can come up with right now. The smirk that lights his face is not good.

"Why must you talk to me like that? We don't talk to our fathers like that Tommy Boy. Don't talk to your father like that." You're insane.

Smacking me he stands and sighing picks up a bottle of alcohol. Taking a long sip he turns to me again "Your mom died last night at the hospital. I didn't mean to do that. But she is dead and you can't change that. She wasn't your mother anyway and she didn't care about you so we are good." Staring at him for a minute I let out a sound.

"What did you do?" Asking him this through clinched teethe he makes a sound.

"She slipped and fell on my knife as well as other things." Smiling Josh shook his head and finished off the bottle. Throwing it against the wall he turns his attention back to me.

"She was a sank. Flaunting her shirt all over town. So I gave her what she wanted is all." Disgusted as he makes it ok for himself I glare at him.

"My mom was not a sank." Glaring at me he takes a pocket knife out of his back pocket.

"Why must you argue with me? I am your father!" Popping open the knife he continues to my battered chest.

"You killed my mother." Shaking his head he begins to draw patterns on my chest.

"She is not your mother! Lindsey is! She loves you not Carol!" Pulling at the chains as best I can I shut my eyes at his spat words.

"She is my mother." You know that moment where you cross the line and you know it. Well that moment just came and went for me.

(Day 16)

Carol is gone. I keep utter those words to myself over and over again as I drive the attractive stranger to the Youth Center. She is going on and on about her son and I am barely listening as well as concentrating. I loved Carol. Why?

"So yeah he went to Angel Grove Elementary School and then well Josh got worse with the abuse and…" Shrugging she swipes some blonde hair behind her ear and looks out the window before looking back to me and smiling.

"I didn't even know he was abusing him until one day I walked in early from work with KFC in my arms…"

(11 years ago)

Entering the two story old house I sigh as I sit the KFC down on the counter in the kitchen "Josh. Tommy." Calling for the two men in my life I grimace when no one answers me.

Walking up the kitchen stairs softly I look at my watch. Josh isn't supposed to be at work for another five hours. Maybe he's taking a nap. "Josh. Tommy. Food is here. I brought home KFC." Calling down the hall I frown when no answer meets me.

Getting to Tommy's door I hear noises coming from the other side and narrowing my eyes in concern I gently pull the door open "You little brat. Stay still!" Growling Josh raises his hand and lowers it hard onto Tommy's cheek.

Letting out a strangled cry when I notice my babies suspenders are down around his ankles as well as his Spiderman underwear. I know what he is doing and I know my little boy is crying.

Stopping Josh turns his head to the side a little but I am in the shadows and can't be seen. Turning his attention back to Tommy he sneers "Shut up slut."

Flipping his over he begins to move his hips again as Tommy screams. My baby. Unable to move I am rendered helpless as Josh finishes "My little slut." Josh says as he pulls Tommy suspenders up and zips his jeans up.

"Shut up or I will stick it in your mouth." Looking both ways down the hall I take off in a run for the kitchen. Slipping down the kitchen stairs I pull myself up from the halfway down position I am in and make down them this time.

Running for the telephone I grab it off the hock but it slips out of my hand "Oh my God."

"Lindsey." Turning I see the monster standing in the kitchen at the bottom of the stairs.

"Sta-y away….away from me." I sputter out as I back into the kitchen door and try to grab any weapon that is with in reach.

"Linds what's wrong?" Advancing towards me he gets a very concerned look on his face his icy blue eyes sparkling.

"You….You stay….away from me." Choking I reach for the door handle but keep my eyes trained on him.

"What happened Linds?" Asking this he puts his hand up to Tommy when his little feet come pattering down the stairs.

"What's wrong with mommy?" Josh seems to soften at this but I now know it is all an act. It has to be.

"Nothing. Run back upstairs and I will handle this." Not listening Tommy looks towards me and points at me.

"I am your father. Go." Lowering his arm he runs back up the stairs as Josh turns his attention back to me.

"Linds whatever this is when can work it out I am sure." Starting to cry I find the door know but do not turn it as killing the son of bitch enters my head and isn't a bad idea.

"You son of a bitch. How long Josh? How long have you been…" Trailing off I try to get my feet even more as I start to draw mental pictures of killing the ass hole.

"Lindsey what are you talking about?" Getting closer he lifts his hands in a soothing nature.

"I saw you Josh. I saw you in the upstairs bedroom with Tommy." Sighing suddenly Josh takes another step towards me.

"Stay away from me you son of a bitch!" Exclaiming this I start to slide across the door towards the staircase. Maybe I can reach Tommy.

"Linds." Shaking my head I go for his jugular.

"You're sick! This is sick! You need help or to be locked away for the rest of your life!" I scream as my eyes go from wide to snapped open.

"Lindsey. Come on now." Looking at him as if he is a complete monster I back into the door as he advances on me.

"Tommy! Tommy get down here!" In a surprise move Josh calls for Tommy and his little patter of feet once more advance down the stairs.

Grabbing him by his suspenders he scopes him up in his arms and smiles at me "Your mother saw us in the bedroom." Eyes growing dark Tommy starts dangle kick his feet and looks down at the tile floor of the kitchen.

"I saw you. Give me my son." Smiling at me he moves away from me.

"No. He's my son. I am his father." Shaking my head I move for him a little.

"That's not true." Why am I getting so defensive?

"I think me and Tommy boy are going for a ride to let you think over some things." Fear gripping my heart I freeze as he continues.

"I am a lawyer Lindsey and I can get full custody of Tommy boy here. I know the law like the back of my hand and I know Tommy boy won't say a word." Sinking down the door a little ways I eye him. You jerk.

"No you can't." Voice going stone I am edging for the knife on the kitchen counter before I know what I am doing.

"Bet me." Grabbing the knife before I can get to it he shoves it into the back pocket of his jeans.

"Josh!" I exclaim as my perfect little world goes up in smoke.

Grabbing the KFC bucket he heads for the door "Think about it Linds. Think real hard."

Exiting the kitchen I shut my eyes as I hear the front door open and close.

(Day 16)

Letting my thoughts trail off I turn my attention back out the window as we pull into a small complex parking lot "Here we are."

Looking at the complex I sigh as I remember living in Angel Grove and being a registered nurse on the ER floor. I would have worked with Carol. Thoughts cutting off abruptly I sense the other man looking at me and turning my feelings are confirmed. Putting on my best smile that I learned how to do from Josh I place my hand on the door handle "Well let's go inside."

Pulling the door open my sandal connects with the pavement of the parking lot and running a hand through my hair I slide out of the car.

(Day 16 outskirts of Stone Canyon and two miles into Stone Canyon hunting grounds)

"Help." Moaning I try to locate a better position as I struggle to keep consciousness.

Praying someone will hear me before the psycho on the bed wakes up I moan as I try to roll over. All this gets me is a sharp sensation of pain.

"Shut up you little brat. I swear to God you are worthless." Groaning Josh sits up and throws his legs over the side of the bed.

A evil glam suddenly lights his eyes as he gets up from the bed and goes for the champagne bottle left over from his drunken stepper before. "I'll make you shut up." Tone dead pin he heads back to me.

"No…no…Josh…" Pulling at the chains hard I begin to choke as he pulls my jeans down to my knees with my boxers exposing me to his cold skimming eyes once more.

"You little hard nose slut." Josh snickers as he brings my kicking legs up to rest on his legs. Taking the bottle he spreads me with his fingers and taking the bottle shoves it into me.

Owwwwww! "AHHHH!" Screaming I arch my back as my muscles give and the bottle enters me fully from his forcefully pushed shoves.

"You are insane! You psychopath!" Tears streaming down my face I try to move only to feel Josh ram it into me more.

"Ok my little slut do the bottle or I will hurt you." Eyes growing wide I begin to whimper as he smiles cruelly.

"No!" Shaking my head I try to get away from him only to have him pull me back into place. He's crazy!

"I hate you!" Spewing the words I start to cry out as he begins to fuck me with the bottle.

Pain. Pain is all I register as he gets up and grabs more chain from the bag that I see are my chains from the hotel "No….no…" Muttering the words I am over powered by the older man when he gets back to me. The chains wrapped around me ankles and legs firmly securing my jeans and boxers around my knees.

"Do the bottle." Shaking my head I turn my head to the side and let out a cry as Josh starts to do me with the bottle again.

"Come on slut. I know you are a slut." Shaking my head I go limp as I feel a liquid seeping out of my ass as Josh snickers.

"Must have been some stuff still left in the bottle." Shaking me head I hear him move around a little getting comfortable on the floor.

"I will kill them. I swear I will. Your little friends in Angel Grove. I will kill them." Settling down at that I begin to inhale sharply as Josh stops with the bottle holding it inside me.

"Do the bottle." Crying out I try to get comfortable as he moves it around a little bit.

"Stop it….please…stop…" Stammering out the pleas I goes back to my earlier game of trying to plead with he sociopath.

"Do the bottle and don't tell me no." Josh sneers as I start to pull at the chains as much as I can.

Shaking my head I go motionless as Josh smirks "A slut like you should have no trouble in doing this."

Keeping my head turned to the other side I try to black out and block him out with all my might. "Do the bottle Tommy boy and I leave you alone for a while when we get back to the hotel. I swear all we'll do is talk."

Soothing me he pats my stomach as he removes his on shirt "Come on Tommy boy do the bottle for daddy."

Crying out I stay motionless "Or I can pay John a visit too."

Looking back at him as my mind comprehends the words that he has said about my friends and John I snarl "Don't touch them."

"I won't as long as you do as your told and ride the bottle." Beginning to move the bottle in and out again I shiver as I look away from him again.

"Now! Don't make me repeat myself Tommy boy! Do it!" Spitting the words at me I try to ignore him as I come to the chilling conclusion that he is in control.

"You are a slut. Now do as I say." You're a psychopath!

Jerking my head back to look at him by my chin he clenches his teethe as he begins to talk again "Do it or so help me Tommy boy ICU will be the best of your dreams and your friends will love being in coma's for the rest of there lives or maybe they would like to see a jail cell for the rest of there lives for accusing an innocent man! I am a lawyer Tommy I can do it!"

Going stiff at the words I cringe "You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh wouldn't I? One big jail bird family!" Sighing I give into the wills of the older man and succumb.

Letting out small inaudible cries I submit and begin to go up and down on the bottle slowly "Faster. Do it. Do the bottle….fuck the bottle. Have sex with it."

Starting to do as he says I begin to cry and as tears stream down my face he sucks his tongue as another evil idea hits his twisted mind "Everyone cries there first time."

Shaking my head Josh positions the bottle where I can continue and lowers his jeans and boxers to his knees "Come here." He snarls before he grabs my head after sneaking up me.

"Have sex with the bottle. Your virginity is gone to a bottle." Pulling my head up a little he slaps me hard.

"Open your mouth Tommy boy or will we have to go through that whole thing again." Opening my mouth a little he pries it open all the way and shoves himself in it.

"My little sluts first time with daddy dearest. I am going to get a baby book and entitle it my little sluts first time with daddy and the bottle." Stomach flipping I continue to have sex with the bottle as he begins to ride my mouth.

"Have sex with me. Suck." Beginning to suck with earnest I remember the threats from earlier and he is crazy enough to do them.

Feeling my body start to respond I choke as I cum into the air and go limp as I swallow daddy's cum. Mind snapping I scramble into a safe room in it and black out as Josh pulls out of my mouth.

"See that wasn't so bad." Pulling his pants up he yanks the bottle out and throws it into the wall. Shattering into a million pieces it seems I smile faintly as I feel the bottles pain.

Leaving my pants down around my knees I search for something blunt. Maybe if I crack his skull open he will stop. "Behave Tommy boy." Pulling his shirt back on he leaves me exposed as he goes out the door and I hear the truck start up and drive away.
