Happy new year! Chapter 29 - Attack
"You still ok for going to the Vic later?" Ronnie smiled looking at Danielle who was sitting on the sofa, "they can't wait to meet you...well meet you as one of the family" Ronnie said again, still confused that the whole family has known Danielle for months. Danielle looked up and smiled at her mother "Yeah, I can't wait" Danielle said convincingly, still however worried about the whole event.
Ronnie took seat next to Danielle and held her hand, "You don't have to do this yet, I'm not forcing you" she whispered reassuringly, Danielle shook her head, "No it's ok really" Danielle said holding Ronnie's hand even tighter. Ronnie smiled back at her daughter, "I love you...you know that right?" she said again keeping the low whisper tone, Danielle nodded, "I love you too" She smiled back, that said Ronnie pulled Danielle in to hug that made Danielle feel a whole lot better.
Ronnie had been catching up on some work to do for the Club; Ronnie sat down trying to get all the files sorted quickly so she could spend some hours with her daughter before having to go to the Vic.
"Mum..." Danielle asked not knowing the best way to approach Ronnie as she worked, "Yes, Dani?" she looked up instantly, Danielle noticed how fast Ronnie looked up and how she looked at Danielle with such love, "I was wondering if I could go out just for a bit? I just want a walk" Ronnie placed the file she was holding down, "do you want me to come with you?" She asked slightly concerned about why Danielle would want to go out by herself, "No, it's ok I just want to walk by myself for a bit" Ronnie nodded, "Ok" she said at last, "Be careful" she half whispered, still now she worried, even when Danielle simply went out alone the worry was still eating away at her. "I'll be back soon" she said, Ronnie nodded again and went to sit back down to finish her work. "Love you mum" Danielle called back, Ronnie felt herself become slightly overwhelmed when Danielle said those three words, "Love you too!" she called back before the door slammed.
Archie stood the other side of the road, he had been watching Ronnie's flat for some time, making sure he hadn't been noticed, he pressed a button and lifted his phone to his ear once more, "It's me again" he said after sometime, "Yeah, she's just left the flat" he said, he smirked as he watched Danielle head exactly the right way, she was not aware at all, she seemed to caught up in her own thoughts, "Yeah...Do it when ready" he said and closed his phone, that being said he looked once more at Danielle, watching her walk in to his deadly trap.
Danielle was too busy thinking about what she and Ronnie had been doing to notice the quite large built man walking towards her, by the time she looked up she felt the full force of him grabbing her and slamming her against the wall.
Ronnie Sighed, She had almost finished her work, yet all she wanted to do was sit with Danielle on the sofa, just to hold her baby for as long as she could, spending time with Danielle had be the best time of life. She just wanted to make sure she made the best of it and hoped that Danielle was happy. At least later Danielle could meet the other Mitchell's and be accepted in to the family by the others, Ronnie only hoped that the Vic wouldn't bring back bad memories of the wedding night. Ronnie sighed once more; she only hoped that right now Danielle was enjoying her walk.
Danielle felt shock rush through her body, she opened her eyes only then to be punched full force in the face, she felt her face go numb and her vision go hazy, she couldn't see much, but then she felt her body get thrown to the ground, a moment later she saw a pair of feet step in front of her, Archie knelt down and lifted up her face he smiled at her as he saw the panic in her eyes "You see Danielle, this is just a little bit of what I'm going to do to you...I'm sure Veronica will rush to help you soon...but she won't always be there for you..." He let go of her head and she lay down on the ground, wanting her mother, yet she was unable to move.
Ronnie had been sitting down for about half an hour, she kept glancing at her phone, she should call Danielle, she didn't want to be pushy but Danielle had been gone for 30 minutes now, Ronnie felt so much worry each time she was out of her sight, Danielle had become the most precious and amazing thing in her life, she wanted to hold her and keep her safe. She finally gave in a picked up the phone. She Scrolled down the contact list and saw the name "Danielle :)" Ronnie laughed slightly remembering Danielle placing the smiley face next to her own name on Ronnie's phone. She called Danielle and waited for an answer.
"Please pickup..." Ronnie pleaded, every second without knowing how Danielle was, made her worry even more. Danielle's phone rang, she was barely conscious and managed to see the screen flashing. "Mum" the one person she wanted so much right now was arms reach away, she struggled, her legs and whole body aching, she managed to answer the phone and slowly bring it to her ear.
"Danielle?...Danielle?" Ronnie almost shouted becoming more worried with no response, only then she heard the weakest voice.
"Mum...help me...please help..." Danielle struggled before the tears rolled down her face and it started to rain.
