Chapter 21

Skye wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, hating the feeling of once again waking up somewhere she didn't recognize. "Stop knocking me out dang it!" Skye shouts to herself. "I hate this!" Skye protests.

Skye tries for the door only to find out it's locked. Heading for the window Skye sees a view of a pure cloudy ocean. Skye bangs on the glass, and can tell just by being around it so much that it's bulletproof and that even a chair wouldn't break through it. Judging from the view coming from the window, Skye knew that she was somewhere on the West coast. Los Angeles maybe, but it was too cloudy to be sure. Vancouver or Seattle might be possible as well. Skye tries banging on the window, she knew shouting for help would be pointless but she tried anyway. "Help!" She yells. After a few seconds Skye gives up. She knew any attempt would be pointless.

Skye hated the feeling of being in a locked room; she remembered one of her foster families locking her in her room for knocking over an expensive vase. The next day they sent her back to Saint Agnes. Skye leans against the lock door. Why was she stuck with all the bad luck? Skye remembered Fitz. "Oh Fitz, please don't be dead." Skye cries, knowing that if he got hurt or died it was all her fault. She hated being this 0-8-4 person; she wasn't supposed to be like this. Why couldn't she have been born normal?

Born to two loving parents, who let her go to school and have fun as a kid. They didn't have to be rich; they would have been perfect even if they were poor. Heck Skye would have settled for a mother and a dead beat father, at least she'd have one loving parent who cared for her. She'd never even had that. Anything but the foster care system which she grew up in. Not once had she found a loving family with anyone from being at Saint Agnes, and all the orphanages after.

She had tried to find a family with Miles, but that hadn't really worked out the best. He taught her how to be a hacker, and Skye tried to fit in with the rising tide. And she did, for a little while. Until it became too much, and Skye left for L.A. Skye needed closure, and finding her parents was the only thing she could think of that could possibly offer that to her.

Now she was in the heart of the beast, most likely going to get exactly what she wished for.

The door cracks open, and Skye leans back against the window. Skye was expecting Dragon, but a girl her own age walks in the door carrying a tray of food. "Dragon instructed me to make something for you." The girl says in a humble voice. She had beautiful black hair, and wore a nice dress with black flowers imprinted on it. The girl almost reminded Skye of a younger Raina. Except this girl seemed less creepy. Skye felt confident enough to talk to this girl.

"Do you know why they've taken me?" Skye asks the girl.

The girl sets down the tray on a table next to the bed, she looks up at Skye with large dark blue eyes. "For the very reason I work for 'thy lordship' now." Skye doesn't remember hearing this name before.

"Who's that?" The girl looks annoyed by Skye's questions, but keeps straight and answers it anyway.

"Your father." The girl informs Skye. Skye feels her stomach drop, and suddenly she's not hungry. "I'll bring another meal for you in the evening." The girl leaves the room and locks the door. This situation was none to pleasant for Skye.

Simmons holds on to Fitz's hand, she hates the feeling of being back in the same room from before. Simmons holds her breath, as she moves badly on the leg she'd been shot. It didn't hurt as much now that it had been taken care of, but it was throbbing a little. But her pain didn't matter; Fitz was the one who'd gotten in critical condition. It wasn't fair; it wasn't fair how this happened to him.

"You need to rest Jemma." Simmons hears Coulson say from the door.

"I'm fine." She wipes the tears from her eyelids. "He might wake up soon."

"I'm sorry I let this happened, we should have been more prepared and…" Coulson stops. "I'm sorry." Coulson walks out of the room. May was standing just a few feet away.

"It's not your fault you know." Coulson squeezes his hand.

"As the leader of this team, I'm responsible for what happens."

"Yes but you can't take all the blame on yourself." May puts her hand over the hand Coulson was squeezing. "Will find her." Coulson pulls back.

"Yes, but this time we don't have the help of the same psychopath who took her last time. Really were all just improvising at this point Melinda? How are we going come close to finding her? The first person I turned to find Skye, is Skye herself. She could hack the data stream, and looks for clues on her location. The other agent I would ask would be Fitz. But right now he's in critical condition, yet again because I couldn't protect our team!" Coulson punches the wall.

"Will find her Phil." May defends.

"But how May, How?" May sighs knowing she was playing this card too early for her liking. But she didn't have another option.

"I think I can help with that." Triplett admits, coming from across the hall. May was generally surprised that Triplett was willing to admit something, after their discussion the other day.

"And how's that?" Coulson wonders.

Triplett takes a deep breath and crosses his arms. "There's something that everyone should know."

Skye didn't really get to talk to anyone the next couple of days. All she did was sleep and wait for the girl, who Skye learnt name was Celina to bring meals. She came back in the evening and in the morning to deliver breakfast and dinner. At first Skye didn't eat the food they brought, but eventually her stomach was grumbling too much for her to refuse. What Skye guessed was the third day she had been at the beach house, Skye gets an early visitor.

Skye immediately goes into defense mode when she sees the man Dragon walk through the door. "Hello Skye, I hope you are finding yourself comfortable here." Skye spits at him. Dragon frowns. "Well I know you've only seen this room, but that's not the attitude that I like." Dragon hits Skye across the face. Skye feels the burn on her skin, but doesn't back down and keeps glaring. "You may have gotten away last time, but your little boyfriend isn't here to save you this time around. So play your part like a good girl. And if you even try to escape, your body won't remember what it's like to live without pain." Skye keeps glaring not uttering a word; she wouldn't be broken down so easily.

"Celina bring the dress in, we need to prepare Skye for thy lordship."

"Yes Dragon." 'Thy lordship', Skye didn't like hearing the name, now that she knew it referred to her father. Dragon left the room along with Celina. When they closed the door though, she realized that they hadn't locked it. Taking a few steps Skye jiggles the handle to the door, to find it opens. But right after she opens it, Celina is back holding onto a dress.

"It's not worth it you know." Celina tells Skye after coming into the room. "This is the only house for miles on this beach. By car it takes at least twenty minutes to reach a gas station. And the other residents that are on the beach are empty. So even if you somehow manage to escape, there's no way for you to escape." Celina hands Skye the dress. "Put this on, I'll help do your hair afterwards."

Skye didn't want to follow Celina's instructions, but looking at the dress Skye felt a temptation to put it on. It was a beautiful blue one, with sparkles covering the top half. A diamond was placed in the middle, and before Skye knew it she had put it on. Celina comes in a few minutes later and instructs Skye to sit down in front of a mirror. Skye does what she's told and lets Celina work on her hair. When Skye looks in the reflection of the mirror, she realizes how pretty a dress and some adjustments to her hair can make her, though without make-up she could tell she was missing something. Celina didn't offer make-up, so Skye didn't bother to ask.

"You can follow me now." Celina says, as she gets up and opens the door. Skye follows Celina out, but even as they're walking Skye could tell this was her best escape attempt. She could easily leave, easily run. What Celina was saying before could have easily been a lie. There had to be a highway somewhere near here, somewhere where she could call for help. Yet, Skye wanted to keep walking. Skye had always imagined meeting her mother and father, having a chance to meet them and see where she really came from. Skye had heard her 0-8-4 story, but she wanted to know why she was a 0-8-4, why she turned out like this.

Skye spots Dragon at the end of the hall they were walking down, her chance to escape was lost with him there. Skye could be fast, but with Dragon she knew the odds were against her. He knew the layout of this house, knew where they were; and he wouldn't be afraid to hurt her. "Beautiful Skye, you look perfect for your first introduction to your father." Skye bites her lip, nervous that she has to go through with it. "Now come inside." Dragon opens the double door and the smell of blood hits Skye as she takes the first step to something she was never coming back from.

So hope you are all excited for that, I know it took me a long time to get here, but glad I was able to draw it out so much to keep suspense.
