Looks like the fairytale's over

By Eyes_Only_Angel



After the truth was reviled we talked more and I told him about how I had been given everthing a normal girl could ever have and allowed to live a normal life while I was living at the Centre and that the man who I thought was my dad was Lyle which shocked Jarod when he heard it.

Dad finally disided to move to small town just outside of Dover and try and live a normal life but he would still go and help people in need I made sure of that telling him "That there's still a lot of people out there that need your help and it wouldn't be fare to anyone if you just stoped cause we both know that it wouldn't last long and anyway I can look after myself"and that won him over so now he goes off on a pretend ever now and then, to bad things couldn't stay that way for ever.



I'm in the kitchen makeing a sandwich when I here someone coming through the front door

"Hey your back, So tell me just how pissed off was Miss Parker this time?... dad?" I ask while I'm puting the coke and cheese back in the frige

But when I look up at the door I see Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots standing there with a shocked look on their faces

"Miss Parker!" I say in a suprised and scared voice

"And who are you?"

We lock eyes for a moment before I run out the kitchen back door. I then run to the front of the house and stop for a second thinking which way I should go when the back door of a car standing in front of me opens

"It's time to come home Jade" Lyle says when he sees me standing there

I try to runaway but the sweeper that comes out from of the car is too fast and grabs me I start to scream for help as he forces me into the back of the car he then goes to the front and starts to drive away



****************************************************************************



Inside the house Miss Parker heads to the living room and to the nearest window to see which way the girl ran off to closely followed by a starstruck Sydney and Broots and is just in time to see her being forced into a car by a Centre sweeper

"My god Sydney why... where are they taking her?"

"I don't know Parker" He says while trying to process what just happend

"We heve to find out NOW!!" She snaps out finally reliesing that her worst fear has come true

"I'll get right on it when we get back to the Centre"

"I'm going to have a look around" Miss Parker says as she walks to the stairs

"Hey Syd wasn't that the girl we saw with Lyle?" Broots asks still confused by this strange new turn of events

****************************************************



"Where's my dad?" I ask fighting back tears as the car drive's on

"I think he's back at the Centre by now. I'm sorry"

"I don't belive you're sorry" I tell him too upset at my dad being back at the Centre to notice that he's being truthful for once

I start to scream again and try to open the door but he grabs me and pulls me to him and put's a cloth covered with something over my mouth a few seconds later and I fall back into his arms

"I was hopeing I didn't have to do this" Lyle says as my eyes close into a forced sleep



***********************************************************



A needle in the car and two hour's later and the drugs Lyle has used is finally waring off I'm a little drowse and unsure of where I am but not for long.

"You're awake" Lyle say looking up from the paper he's reading

I'm now wide awake and aware of where I am now I'm in the living room of his appartment, thanking god that it's not the Centre but I'm still scared

"Look I'm really sorry about useing drugs on you but I didn't want you to hurt yourself trying to escape and I really am sorry about your dad being back at the Centre but it's the way it has to be."

I try to get up and run but I'm tied to a chair Lyle looks at me and tries hard not to laugh

"I'm going to make sure that they don't get you too but you've got to trust me and right now the best thing is if you stay tied in that chair"

I'm about to tell him that trust is a two way thing and also where I'll stick this chair once I'm out of it but the phone in his jacket pocket that's on the couch ring's just in time to stop me and he goes to answer the phone

"I though I told you that I wasn't to be desturbed..... yes..... ok I'll be there as soon as I can just handle it the best you can intill I get there and find out exactly how much she knows do you understand me?"

Lyle then hangs up the phone puts his jacket on and walks back to me

"I have to go now I'll be back as soon as I can sorry I have to leave you tied to the chair but I fear you won't be here when I return"

He then places a strip of tape over my mouth and walks behind and checks that the rope is secure happy that it is he walks to the door

"We'll talk more when I come back I promise" He tells me as he leaves

As soon as I am sure that he isn't coming back I began to work on the ropes that he used to tie my hands back

********************************************************************

Back at the Centre Sydney and Broots are trying franticly to find out exactly who has taken the girl that was at Jarod's house while Miss Parker is pacing her office trying to figure out in her mind just how Jade had managed to find Jarod and what happened to Sara. The only other person at the Centre that she trusted enough to confined in about her pregnacy and her love for Jarod that created her. The person that she knew that her daughter would call mommy once born for what she had hoped was for the rest of her life.

"Have'nt you found anything yet Broots?" She snaps out in an clearly worried and despreate to know now tone of voice

Broots looks up from his computer both he and Sydney are unaware that there is a hidden reason for her search for the girl

"Nothing that we don't already know Miss Parker sorry"

"Will look harder then!" useing the same tone as before

"How? How is it even possible for Jarod to have a kid?" Broots asks to no one in particular

" I do not know Broots. It is possible that someone at the Centre created her knowing that Jarod would be the father or ...."

"Or how about we get back to finding her?" Her voice shows her consern for Jade and her fear of what Sydney would of said if she hadn't stopped him

Two hours later and still nothing Miss Parker desides to go home she tells Broots to let her know if anything new about Jade turns up and then leaves the room

*********************************************************************



It had taken awhile to roughtly untie myself I knew that it would cut my wrists more than if I had take my time but I sure as hell didn't want to still be trying to get untied when Lyle comes back. I'm outside the house I wait hideing behind a car looking to see if there are any sweepers or people around. When I'm sure that no one is there watching the place I quickly slip inside and find the place is in a mess.

"My god! they really did a number here" I say in a in a shocked voice when I see the Shambled mess that was my home

I then head up stairs to my room But still being careful of not being seen I go inside and find all my stuff is gone I know that it couldn't have been Lyle because he would of told me the second that I woke up.

I quikely snap out of it and remember the DSA's that dad had left with me. I go to my secret hiding place hoping that they haven't found them I hesitate for a moment before opening it, But I have to know if its still there with shakey hands I slowly remove apart of the floor boards under the window and look inside it.

"Please let it be there?... thank god" My voice showing just how relived I am that it's still there.

I take the silver metal case out and open it. Inside the little CD's are still there, a gun, three addresses and a cell phone. I take the phone out and think for a moment, I deside to call Sydney dad's subsitute father during his time at the Centre. When ever dad talked about him his voice was always full of respect, pride and mutually understanding just like a real son talking about his real father.

I turn on the phone and search for his number.

"Sydney, Sydney.... man just how many numbers can one guy have"

When I finaly find it I hit the call button, But hang up as soon as I hear it ring on the other end I do that twice before I realise that I'm scared. Scared of him Because he is apart of this, scared that he'll send me back to Lyle or worse the Centre. But mostly I'm just scared of the unknown. Finaly I get enough courage to call him and NOT hang up, I hit the call button for the third time now and try to calm my fears.

"This is Sydney" he says down the phone

I'm too Scared to say anything

~Sydney~ Hello? Is anyone there? he asks down the phone

I hang up before he can ask again. I drop the phone on the floor and walk out. and into my dad's room I walk over and climb on my dad's bed and with my head in his pillow I start to cry.

"Wha.. what am I going to do now? I have know where to go" I say through my sobs

I start to think about where to go and who to turn to for help all of a sudden that moment of Miss Parker and I looking each other in the eyes comes to my mind

"Miss parker? should I go to her?" I say unsure if I should

But then I remember what dad had told me, that they had once been childhood friends then one day they just stopped. When he escaped she was given the task of bringing him back, But that he trusted her with his life and that he always will. At that moment I deside to go to her because there was something about her that made me want to trust her too.

I go and get the DSA case I wasn't about to leave it here for them to find next time they came searching for it again. Because dad had once said that it was the only real evidence he had of the Centre's dealing and that he would die before he let them have it back and I would too but I plan to hide it some where before I got to her place because I really didn't trust her as much as dad does.

"Let's see now, which one is it? here it is, thank's dad for leaving it here" I say in a voice showing just how realived I am when I find her address and sad at the same time

I get up and walk down to the front door to leave turning back only once taking a few seconds in before I finally leave, knowing that I will never be back here again and that nothing was ever going to be the same again.



**************************************************************************** **********



I'm standing in front of her house wondering if this was really a good idea or should I just go, but the front door opens before I get a chance to think about it more. Miss Parker has her gun drawn and is looking around when she sees me she tells me to come inside.

"You'd better come in now" She says to me when she sees me trying to sneek away her voice sounding like she had been expecting me

"Why You gonna shoot me if I don't?" I ask questioning her while eyeing the gun in her hand

"No, but do you really want to be standing out here all night now?" She answers my question with one of her own

"No not really. But how do I know if I can trust you?"

"Look if we going to keep answering each others questions with questions then can we please take it inside?" Her voice show that she is getting pretty uncomfortable just standing there

"Fine!" I say using the same tone of voice as her

I step up onto the porch and head through the door where she's still standing, Once I walk in she closes the door behind her and head into her living room.

I take a look around the room and see that there is a small bar to the right of the couch that I'm sitting on, the coffee table has only a remote for the tv and a half full glass of scotch apart from this its completly bare, on top of the tv unit there's a woman that looks like her with a little girl standing together in the picture. Looking at it I remember that dad had shown me a picture of her mother and I still can't get over how much they look like each other.

"My name is Miss Parker But I guess you already knew that?" She says with a nervous tone in her voice

"Yeah dad told me all about you" I say to her trying not to show just how nervous I am but its not working

"Really? So what exactly has Jarod told you?" She says as she puts her gun on the table

"Will lets see? He told me that you too use to be friends when you were young. You stopped. Then you were brought back in to bring him 'home' in exchange for you freedom from the Centre. But if that's not entirely correct then you can just fill me in on the gaps. But that's just the short version"

"Will since you know everything about me may I ask what your name is?" She asks already knowing the answer but couldn't bring herself to telling me the truth.

"Will it's.... Jade" I say noticeing just how bad my wrists look for the first time

"We have to get someone to look at it" she says when she see my wrists consern showing in her voice

"I'm not going anywhere with you" I say getting up to leave

"But you have to have someone look at it they may need stictches" Miss Parker say as she gets up trying hard to make me stay and get help wanting nothing more then to reach out and hug me

"But how do I know that your not going to take me to the Centre too?"

"Will how would you feel if I got someone out here instead? would you stay?"

"Who would you get?"

"A friend of mine. I promise"

"Alright I'll stay. Now go call your friend before I change my mind" I say knowing that she's going to call Sydney I sit down again

She walks over to the phone and punches in Sydney's number

phone "Ring""ring"Ring" ~Sydney~ Sydney here Miss Parker: "Look Sydney I need you to come out here and bring your medical bag now oh and Sydney come alone" ~Sydney~ Miss Parker is something wrong? Miss Parker: "She's here and she's hurt... just get here Sydney" ~Sydney~ I be there soon

Miss Parker hangs up the phone and walks back to the couch and sits down

"My friend will be here soon. So do you want something to eat or drink?" She asks in an awkward tone of voice

"Can I please have a sandwich?"

" Sure. I think there's something in the frige" She says as she gets up and goes to the kitchen

"All I've got is devon,cheese and something that looks like its about to crawl away. so what do you want?" She call out laughing a little from the kitchen

"Ha,Ha Um everything except for that last one please" I say laughing at her little joke

"Ok so do you want anything to drink?"

"Sure what do you have?"

"All I've got is off milk, orange juce and water. So what do you want?" She asks laughing again

"Will since milks out of the question I'll take the juice" I laugh again and can't belive that she's the same Miss Parker that dad has always been running from

"Will here's your sandwich and drink you can watch tv if you want?" She says with a small smile comeing out on her face

"Thanks. Mmm So do you have a tv guide?" I ask in between bites of the sandwich

"Hmm... look under the table"

Twenty minutes later and there's a knock at the door Miss Parker gets up and opens it to let Sydney in

"hello my name is Sy..." he begins to say but I cut in

"Sydney I know dad told my about you. I'm Jade sorry about that call earlier" I say reaching out to give him a handshake

"That was you?"

"Yeah like I said I'm sorry about that"

"It's alright Jade. If you don't mind I'd like to take a look at you now?" He asks as he moves towards the couch

"Ok will its just my wrists that are hurt"

"How did you cut yourself ?" Sydney asks as he looks at my wrists

"I was tied up and I didn't know how long I had so I... "

"So you had to get untied quickly" Miss Parker says finishing off my sentance

"Right" I say to her with a half smile

"May I ask who had you tied up?" He asks trying not to push me

"I don't know who they were. So what's the vertict doc?" I lied to them because I cause I don't know if I can trust them

"Will it isn't as bad as it looks so I don't see a need for stictches"

"You must be tired we'll finish talking tomorrow. I'll show you to the guest room"

"There's one thing I should tell you. I sleep with gun under my pillow, so don't try anything!" I show her the gun and say it in the same persona as she has

Sydney exchanges a look to Miss Parker that says she sounds just like you. then she takes me to the guest room.

**************************************************************

"Will here's where you'll be sleeping the bathrooms the first door on your right."

"Is that my bear on the bed?" I say looking at the bed then back to her

"Um... yes it is"

"Why do you have my.... It was you! Why did you take my stuff ?" I ask her in an scared and angry voice

"Do you need something to sleep in?" She asks trying to change the subject

"Yes I do. But I bet you already have my clothes here now don't you?"

"I.. Um..Yes I do there in that closet over there!" She says pointing to the closet behind me knowing that she failed to change the subject

"Why you have my stuff I don't really care. I'm just glade that its safe so thanks"

"it's...Your welcome. Goodnight Jade"

"Goodnight Miss Parker" I say nicely to her

She takes a few seconds to look at me and smiles but I don't see it. before going back to the living room.



***************************************************************



"I want you and Broots to find out who had her and why"

"What are you going to do with her?"

"I'm going to let her stay here" she answers him honestly

"I'd better be going now" He says and lets himself out

After Sydney leaves Miss Parker goes and makes herself another drink and relises that she just couldn't lie to Jade she has already lied to herself and others so many times but with her there she just couldn't lie because just like her Jade's life has basicly just been one big lie. She finish's her drink and goes straight to bed dreaming of how her life has taken so many ups and downs, twists and turns just like some scary rollercoster that she just can't seem to get off no matter how hard she tries.
