ABC owns them
Chapter 34
John was racing towards the Cabin, he wasn't sure how much of a head start Chris had gotten with her, maybe thirty minutes, maybe forty, he was just so unsure as he looked out of the front windshield at the snow that seem to be never ending, he saw the whiteness of the flakes and wondered if this was it, if today would be the day that he lost it, lost his future, lost her, their child, would this snow, would Christian Vega take away everything to him.
He tried, he tried so hard to push away those feelings, the feeling of gloom as he continued to drive fast thru the packing snow, the thoughts weren't leaving his head, and if they didn't soon, he would be to immobile to find her, to find them. He almost felt it coming on, felt the lose when for some reason he looked out the side door window, he saw something, he shook his head no believing what he saw, his mind was playing tricks on him again, or was it another one of those, memories, dreams, even. He could've sworn he saw a Man and a son having a snowball fight in the snow, he again shook his head thinking about it, as he never stopped driving.
As if that sight, which John had no explanation for since he was driving out in the middle of nowhere in a snow storm, was sent to him, to help him keep it together, and that's just what it did, kept him together, he got him to remember all the times he and his dad had snowball fights in the snow.
John became calm instantly as he remember and he turned his full attention back to the road.
"Natalie, you can't hide from me, you have nowhere to hide babe, you might as well come out" Natalie heard Chris say as she was hiding a few feet away in some trees.
"She knew he was right, she had nowhere to go, to hide, he would eventually find her, she thought about what she could do, how she could get him and do something so he wouldn't get her back into that car and take her up to the cabin, she now knew he was sick, he needed help.
Natalie put her hand on her belly and hoped, she prayed, that she could do this without causing any harm to her child, she just had to time it right, she dug her hands into the cold, icy snow, searching for something underneath it, anything, a branch, a rock, anything when she found something, a thick not so large but a decent size branch, she held the branch in her right hand and she gathered snow for a snow ball in the other hand, she heard him coming closer.
Just as Chris was upon her hiding spot she threw a snowball at him hitting him in the face, Chris jerked his head away from where she was hiding as he felt the ball of snow and ice hit him, he held his face, he stopped moving just long enough for her to come up behind him and hit him over the back of the head with the tree branch. Natalie hit him so hard with everything she had and he fell to the snow knocked out.
Natalie started to run towards the car, when she reached the car, she noticed the light inside the car was out; something she noticed was on a few minutes ago when they jumped out.
"Damn!" she said realizing the battery must be dead, she sat down on the seat of the car for just a minute, trying to think of what was the best thing to do, she knew he would be waking soon, the battery on the car was dead, she had to try and get as far away from there as she could before he woke, he was so unstable she thought, she had never known him to be this way, she didn't know what he would do to her if he woke and got his hands on her. Natalie searched the car quickly for more blankets or a jacket but found none. She wrapped herself up in the one blanket she had draped over her wedding dress and she started to cry, she cried as she walked as fast as she could thru the snowstorm.
John was making such good timing he thought until he got stuck behind a snow plow, he tried to go along side the plow and tell him it was police business but he wasn't able to, he was getting impatient, his nerves were starting in again when he saw the plow move over to the side and let him pass.
Natalie was still walking thru the snow, she was freezing, she cursed herself for listening to the saleswoman from the bridal store, the one that told her it was alright to wear a sleeveless wedding dress for a winter wedding, she continued to walk and her feet felt numb, her hands were already numb because she had dug thru the snow, she wasn't quite sure how much longer she could go on, she wasn't even sure if she was walking in the right direction, she wanted to walk back the way they had drove so when John figured things out, he would be coming this way, when he figured things out, she thought , she closed her eye's briefly hoping he didn't believe she would just leave him at the alter.
Natalie continued to walk as she was having a hard time of it but she knew if she stopped, she wouldn't be able to start again, she was walking weakly when her foot hit something buried underneath the snow and she fall, she fall and laid there for a few minutes till she drifted off, till she became unconscious.
