Chapter 14

Troy felt a horrible lump in his throat as he sensed all eyes in the room on him. He looked straight at Tyler, who was smirking uncontrollably by this point, keeping a very tight grip on each of the girls as he eyes never left Troy's once. How could this monster make him choose between his baby girls? Troy would rather die than do something like that.

The gang all stood behind the couple, the girls' hands over their mouths in shock and tears streaming down their faces. The guys were each holding onto their wives/fiancée/sister, tears streaming down their faces as well, as they desperately tried to figure a way out of this mess.

Gabriella stood just behind Troy, her eyes just peeking over his shoulder, fixated on her two baby girls, their faces red and blotchy, the tears still streaming, and all their mother wanted to do was comfort them. Gabriella couldn't tear her eyes away for even a second as she watched her babies, regretting more with each passing moment returning to Albuquerque, if they had stayed in L.A., the girls would be safely at home, playing in the pool or with their dolls at this point in time, not dangling from a balcony fifty feet up, about to tumble to their deaths.

Gabriella was sharply brought back out of her thoughts by an extremely loud shriek from Sharpay, and she immediately looked up to see Beckford grinning, holding Vixie out over the side by the middle of her jacket, her little legs kicking frantically as she looked at her parents, her eyes begging for their help, and as much as Gabriella wanted to turn away, she couldn't.

"Come on Bolton, I haven't got all day, let's get this show on the road! Just tell me which of the midgets you're going to save, and which one you are going to say goodbye to forever," Beckford laughed harshly, and Gabriella felt Troy stiffen up in fear and anger as Vixie was held even further out, letting out a whine of panic. "I'd pick now if I were you Daddy, if you don't, I'll make the lovely decision for you," Beckford laughed again, "and I may just choose not to save either," he grinned at them before he leant forward, holding the scrambling Vixie further away from the railing, as she tried so desperately to reach it, giving a wail of pure terror.

In a flash, Ashley lunged her head forward and bit down hard on Beckford's arm. He let out a scream of agony and jumped to his feet, just grabbing onto the rail in time to steady himself, keeping a tight hold on Vixie though, as she started to wail louder, having nearly just been dropped again.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He roared at Ashley, as she slowly backed away from him, now on the other side of the railing, before turning and fleeing towards the stairs, desperate to help her sister, but too terrified to stay.

Tyler whirled back around to face the gang as Ashley flew across the floor towards them, flying into Troy's arms and immediately being engulfed in a huge hug by both of her parents, although her eyes never left her sister.

Anger flashed through Tyler's eyes, as he saw the joyous little family reunion, but he smirked when he suddenly realised that all of this had now worked into his favour.

"Hey Bolton!" He yelled, grinning manically and Troy turned back to face him, his eyes instantly finding Vixie's and tearing up, "You ought to thank that little girl of yours," he laughed again, and Troy's blood automatically started to run cold as his eyes bore into Tyler's, trying to figure out what he meant and he let Ashley slip slowly from his eyes. "She just made your choice a whole lot simpler." Troy's breathing became ragged and Gabriella let out a pained cry, before slapping her hand over her mouth. "Now you don't get a choice, she chose for you!" Beckford roared with laughter, stopping suddenly to ponder a thought, "I wonder Bolton, what colour do you think her blood will be? Will it be the same colour as the roses that you'll get to put on her grave? Or will you not bury her at all?"

He laughed again and Chad started to retch, unable to process the thoughts that were running a million miles an hour through his head over what Beckford was going to do to this precious little girl that only thirty nine hours earlier had been patting his hair and calling it 'kitty.'

"DADDY!" Vixie screamed and Troy's heart rate sped up dangerously as he watched his baby girl struggle and squirm in Beckford's arms, tears streaming down her face, while he smirked at Troy, showing him the knife that he held in his right hand and Ashley whimpered, disappearing behind her Dad and burying her face in the back of his leg.

Well guys, that was chapter 14, please review and tell me what you thought, and chapter 15 should be out tomorrow.
