Chapter 8: Found
"Tanner, you have Keely, I know you do..." Phil muttered to himself, exiting Keely's house and walkng the few blocks to Tanner's house.
After knocking on the door several times, and upon getting no response, he backed up and kicked the door, leaaving shattered wood fragments behind as he raced up the stairs. "Tanner! Keely! Where are you?" he yelled, running from room to room, before finally finding a locked door.
"Open up!" he yelled, giving only a seconds worth of time for someone to comply with his command before making his own door.
What he saw when the door was out of his way made his blood run cold. Keely, who was unconcious, bloody, and beaten, lie motionless on Tanner's bedroom floor. He feared the worse as he looked her over, seeing if there were any obvious injuries he could help, to his relief, no bones appeared to be broken. She had four deep gashes on her back and had several bruises. Then he realized exactly what Tanner had done to her. He had attacked her, beaten her, and worst of all, raped her. He pulled her into his arms and never wanted to let go, but if he wanted to save her, he was going to have to.
Several minutes after calling, an ambulance arrived. One of the EMT's asked what happened, and Phil explained everything, except for the future part, and watched as the loaded her into the medic. "Can I go with her?" he asked, pretty sure they would say no.
"Go ahead," the lead paramedic agreed, as they prepare to head for the hospital. It was then that he noticed the slight bulge in her stomach. Then it clicked. Earlier she had said she needed to tell him something. He thought back to their breif conversation.
"Keely? Are you okay?" he asked, knowing that he had told her to use it only in emergencies.
"Phil? I have to tell you something. Promise you wont be mad?" she sounded desperate, like something really big was happening.
"Keely, I could never be mad at you. What's wrong?" he asked, his worry increasing.
"Phil, I'm..."
Pregnant. That was what she was about to tell him. "Will the baby be okay?" he asked, the question seeming to come out of nowhere. All was silent for a minute. "We don't know, It depends on hw much blood she lost and how bad the attack was," one of the EMT's explained, just as they pulled into the hospital.
They rolled Keely away and made Phil stay behind in the waiting room. hough this gave Phil some time to go over everything that had happened within the last hour, he still felt like every minute was an hour. "Tanner if Keely doesn't wake up, or if you killed my child... I swear I'll kill you." he muttered to himself.
So, I know no one was expecting that, but hey no ones done it before in their story. I'll update again later...
