Chapter 14
Scarlett's Point of View
My world was spinning I was lying on my back and squirming as much as I could. Anything to try and get Yates away from me, he pinned me down on the group and ran the cold knife across my cheek. I could feel my heart racing as I once again tried to scream. However this time Yates ensured I couldn't even move my lips. Tears began to stream down my face as Yates stuck the knife into my side. A blinding pain shot through my body as the blood began to flow through my top.
"I'm going to enjoy this, I think I will make it a family affair…." Yates whispered into my ear.
"Start with the youngest…." He sneered.
He raised the knife and was once again going to stab me but a loud shot erupted through the room. Yates made a strange choking noise before falling to the side clutching his chest as he did. I tried to sit up but the pain in my side and arm stopped me. I felt like I was going to pass out but fought to stay awake. I could just make out the sound of mom and Erin when I finally gave into the darkness.
Erin's Point of View
"There that house it came from there!" I yelled as Olivia and myself raced up the steps.
Slowly opening the door so we didn't spook Yates we saw him in the living room with Scarlett pinned to the ground. Before a thought had even gone through my head I pulled my gun, didn't hesitate and shot Yates right in the chest. He fell to the side clutching his chest. As he fell off Scarlett it was clear he had already hurt her.
"No!" Both Olivia and myself cried in union.
However this time Olivia was faster and she was at Scarlett's side calling an ambulance before I even moved my feet. I tore my attention away from my daughter long enough to cuff Yates. I didn't want him running off on us. Once I was sure he wasn't going anywhere I moved to Scarlett's other side.
"Is she um…..Is she ok?" I whispered as tears formed in my eyes.
Olivia had he hands pressed down on her wound but she was sheet white and unconscious.
"I don't…I don't…" Olivia tried to say but the end of the sentence didn't come out.
I nodded in understanding and gave he the best reassuring look I could manage.
Olivia's Point of View
It had been hours since we found Scarlett with Yates. Both Erin and myself were sitting alone in Scarlett's room waiting for her to wake up when Voight interrupted.
"Hey I just wanted to let you know that Yates is awake…..Kid I'm sorry but um…." Voight trailed off as he looked at Erin.
"Nadia?" Erin asked.
"We have a location…It's not looking good." Voight sighed.
"Erin, go you should go with them." I assured her.
I could tell she was torn between staying and waiting on Scarlett to wake up and finding her friend.
Erin nodded and slowly got up and left the room with Voight. Once she was gone I turned back towards Scarlett who was slowly opening her eyes.
"Hey!" I smiled as she blinked repeatedly.
I got up and took her hand and she focused her eyes on me.
"Hi…" She croaked.
I carefully passed her a glass of water and helped her take a mouthful. As I sat the glass down Scarlett reached over for my hand.
"I'm sorry I ran off." She began to say as I tried to stop her.
"Mom please let me say this?" She begged.
Nodding in response I waited for her to continue.
"I'm so sorry I ran off to Yates but he said he was going to kill Nadia and it was going to be my fault. I didn't want that to happen but when I got there he told me she was already dead and it is my fault mom I didn't help her when she was being taken, I ran away like I always do and now she is dead. Erin is going to hate me!" Scarlett sobbed as the heart monitor began to race.
"Ok Scarlett breath. I'm glad you realise running off was stupid and careless but honey what happened to Nadia isn't your fault. There is no way you could have fought of Yates and Erin knows that. She could never hate you Scarlett you're her daughter she loves you. She proved that more than ever today when she shot Yates with no hesitation." I assured her.
Scarlett took a minute to take in what I had said before speaking again.
"Is he…dead?" She finally asked.
"No Erin didn't shoot to kill, she wants him to pay for what he has done and killing him would have been to kind." I replied.
Scarlett nodded.
"Did you um…Did you guys know Nadia was dead?" She mumbled.
"I was looking more and more likely. You just confirmed it for me. Unfortunately Voight and Erin just left to go and see a location where Nadia is supposed to be…." I sighed.
I dreaded what they were going to find. That poor girl lying dead somewhere miles from home. I couldn't help but feel grateful we got to Scarlett before she ended up the same way.
"Think Erin will be ok?" Scarlett asked bringing me from my thoughts.
"I think she will need a lot of help." I replied.
"Can I be there for her?" Scarlett asked hesitantly.
"Of course you can sweetie, Erin is in our lives now she isn't going anywhere. We will both be there for her." I smiled.
"Thanks mom." Scarlett replied.
Erin's Point of View
I was just returning to the hospital and heading towards Scarlett's room when Olivia came out. She immediately came over and gave me a hug as I felt myself begin to fill up again.
"We have him, he will pay for what he did to her." Olivia whispered as she let me go.
"Did um….Did Scarlett see her get killed is that how you knew?" I asked.
Nadia being killed was terrible and horrific I didn't want to think that Scarlett had seen it all.
"No she didn't Yates told her Nadia was dead." Olivia replied.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
I felt like all my emotions were in overdrive and I wanted to kill Yates for what he had done to my friend and my daughter.
"She's fine, she would love to see you." Olivia said.
"Yeah I don't think that's such a good idea right now." I replied before turning and leaving the hospital. I could hear Olivia calling me back but I ignored her.
I didn't want my daughter seeing the mess I was at the present time. So I left. I left New York and went home without even telling my squad.
Please let me know your thought I love hearing them :-)
