Normal POV

David reached the small and closed park. Yellow tape surrounded the entrance and he looked around making sure no one saw him sneak under. He moved with caution looking around for the area that would have more tape, a sign of where the bodies were found. He didn't know what he was looking for once he saw a few trees taped off, but he figured maybe there would be some sort of clue. Once he was standing a few inches from the tape he looked around for a second. The earth was dug up behind the tape. The news said the young girls found, were found by a jogger and their dog.

David winced some as he pulled out his cell phone and tapped on it a few times. He pulled up his voicemail and played the last message from Teleya.

"Hi. I know you told me not to be out at night, that I was making myself a victim. Well, I disagree. People shouldn't have to redirect their lives to make sure the bad guy doesn't find them. In the end we're both victims and bad guys, if we choose to be. Well, I'm about to walk around the corner and talk to Pedro. Then I'll be safe in my home. I'll talk to you soon." she said before hanging up. David's eyes were closed as he took in the softness of her tone, the innocence and kindness to it. She couldn't hurt a fly and that's what made her a easy target. He sighed heavily as he checked his social media. Her father is still looking for her and her friends are asking around if anyone knows where she is please contact such and such number. He placed the phone back in his pocket and looked back at the pile of disturbed ground. He walked around the four trees that made a perfect square around the crime scene. Maybe there was something the cops missed. As David rounded the second tree he did not notice something in the bushes a few feet off.

David tilted his head some and crouched down, slowly moving the leaves out of the way before realizing it was some white fabric. Luckily a lamp post was a few feet away and so he moved over to the light, looking around once more to make sure he wasn't caught before unfolding the cloth. He watched as it fluttered to the ground, exposed and all. It was a dress. Torn down the middle, but a dress nonetheless. David shook it a bit noticing there were no bugs on it and it was still moderately clean.

"The hell?" he asked as he turned the dress front and back. There was no way the cops or their dogs would have missed this piece of clothing. The killer must come back as well to get rid of it. Teleya wouldn't wear something like this, it looked like something out of a fantasy world. He brought the dress to his face and slowly inhaled it. He leaned back quickly as the smell of Jergens Cherry Almond lotion was all over this. That is Teleya's favorite lotion. She's alive, definitely alive. But why was she in this? Why would the killer bring it back here? Maybe this area was a hunting ground for him.

David looked around for a moment. Teleya's place is only fifteen minutes from the park. Maybe that was how he chose his victims. He needed to map out this area and figure out if his theory was correct. His phone buzzed and he pulled it back out and looked at his screen. Two more girls had gone missing. He knew he'd have to get his son involved, he was way better at technology then he was and would help him find her faster.

Teleya's POV

I stared at his sleeping form, as he was curled up in front of me on the bed. He was naked and calmly breathing. Who decides to gets to take the light when he wakes up? How is it that he can just wake up and not be Kevin? I raised my hand slowly thinking of touching his cheek, but I couldn't. I cannot caress someone who is no longer there inside. I was too afraid to move from my spot, because I was sure he would wake up.

I wasn't sure if it was morning or not. I don't know the time anymore, but I was still sure of the day of the week. Kevin inhaled slowly, his shoulders rising as he took in air. His eyes slowly opened and he just looked right at me and immediately he frowned and squinted. Dennis.

He sat up quickly and looked around at where he was. I slowly sat up as well. He then looked at me and then my bare chest and then away.

"Um… did we…?" he asked lowly and I nodded slowly with a mild wince and looked away.

"Not you, but yes we did." I replied lowly.

"Did he hurt you? He wasn't rough with you was he?" he asked quickly and I looked up at him stunned at how concerned he sounded. I shook my head. What could he have done anyways if he did hurt me?

"I'm fine." I replied and he sighed heavily.

"I know this all must be a lot for you-" But I just shook my head.

"Don't. Everything is fine." I replied turning to move off the bed since he was closest to the wall. I feel his hand grip mine firmly and I looked back at him confused. His eyes were still cold and focused, but I could see a mild softness inside them as if he were trying to be soft himself.

"I don't want you to be unhappy." he said in a usual dark and cool tone. "Ansel's told everyone about you and their excited to meet you. They want to spend time with you and do things with you. What can I do to show you we can all live together…as a family? It's what Kevin would want."

I was filled with emotions by his words. What did the inside of his head look like? A family? Is that really what he wanted? This was all too much. He couldn't handle that. I slowly shook my head not knowing what to say. I never really thought of a family. I mean I wanted to get married one day, but that's as far as I got. David. I thought about marrying David. I didn't care about his age or money. I liked that he was quiet, and was willing to open up a little bit to me. I liked routine and planning in my life and that's what I got with David. But now all of that was gone, because my child hood friend saw me and his personalities decided to make him happy by kidnapping me.

"Say something." Dennis said snapping me from my thoughts, bringing my attention back to him. I inhaled some remembering what we were talking about.

"You want to make me happy?" I asked. He just nodded slowly and I nodded.

"I want to be able to go outside." I replied. He stiffened at my words before looking around at my bed.

"I cannot permit this." he said. I shook my head.

"You can walk around with me. Surely, you know I will not run." I said. His hold on my hand tightened a bit, his eyes darkening some.

"You've only been here for a few days and I can see it in your eyes that you still wish to leave. If the Beast thinks this too, he will try and break you." he told. I winced at his words and suddenly I'm yanked back onto my back with him swinging his legs over my hips and sitting on me. "You cannot be trusted yet. You have to prove that you deserve to go out."

I blinked rapidly feeling over powered once more.

"What do you want from me, Dennis? Want another dance? I will dance for you every day if it means getting to see the sun. It's not healthy for me to be down here all the time." I replied carefully. Dennis stared at my face for a second and he just looked away and moved off me and walked over to the door.

"I'll talk with Patricia about it. She'll be back with some breakfast. I'm sure you're dirty after being with the Beast. Get cleaned up." he demanded before exiting the room. I watched him leave, feeling exhausted from last night's romp with Kevin's dangerous personality. My muscles were tight and my vagina is sore. I placed my hand over my forehead as I felt stressed. This couldn't go on. I had to do something or else I will die down here, if not by Kevin then by own hands. I slowly got up and moved to the bathroom and showered, scrubbing down from head to toe. I had closed the door, but didn't lock it. Not like I could if I wanted to. The door knob didn't have a lock on it.

Once that was done, I sprayed my hair with water and put my hair products in. I finger combed my hair just staring at my reflection in the mirror. The silent was causing me great discomfort so I began to hum. It wasn't a particular song, but just melodies that soothed my mind. If I can calm my mind just enough, then maybe I could think enough to come up with a good plan of escape. But I needed to get outside. I needed to be out in the open with one of his other personalities.

Normal POV

Patricia couldn't be any happier. She had made two plates, one for her and one for her darling girl Teleya. She was placing bacon on one of the two plates. The Beast's power was magnificent as he tore the cheerleading girls apart. He was also happy with Teleya.

"Getting along so well." she said happily to herself. Dennis had mentioned her wanting to go out for a bit. Patricia was mildly warry about that, but with the correct supervision, maybe it could happen.

She had Teleya's phone on the counter beside the plates. Dennis was good at technology and made sure her phone couldn't be traced back to their location. Nothing would take Teleya from them, nothing at all. She kept it just incase it was needed.

As she placed the fried eggs on the plate beside the bacon, she noticed her phone was lighting up. Concerned she moved over to it, and noticed it was a notification. 1 voicemail. She tilted her head and picked up the phone. She looked around making sure no one would see her being mildly noisy. She clicked the notification and saw it was from some man named David. Patricia blinked rapidly and placed the phone to her ear.

"Hey… I don't know what' happened to you, but I know your family and friends are worried about you. You already know how worried I am about you… scared for you. But I want you to know, I am going to find you and bring you home." Click. Patricia's face shook a bit at the message and clear threat to her being. She slammed the phone down on the counter enough to crack the screen. Teleya would have answers she was sure of it. She composed herself and lifted up the two plates and gracefully left the break room.

Teleya's POV

I dressed in black shorts and a white tank. The door opened and in came Patricia fumbling some with two plates of food. On instinct, I moved up to her and helped her manage the plates. She was in a red turtleneck shirt and a black skirt and heels. I noticed a faded cold necklace around her neck.

"Ah thank you dear." she said softly giving a quirky smile. "Well breakfast is served. I thought you and I could eat together." I looked down at the bacon and fried eggs on the plate. There wasn't too much seasoning on them which I didn't mind. I nodded and we both sat down on the bed together. I calmly began to eat while she just stared at me some.

"So who's David?" she asked in a nosy motherly tone, which caught me completely off guard.

Author's notes

So I am thinking of tying the Glass movie into this one or at least the sequel to this one, because I do want to have David fighting the Horde, but it will be for a different reason. I want to spoil it, but I am not. Anyways let me know what ya'll think of possibly doing a glass sequel to Purify. I will try and upload another chapter before I go to bed, but if not I will try and post it tomorrow.
