Chapter Two: MOMMY!

Faye sat outside Alexandra's room; the note lied in her lap. She was scared and confused of what to do.

Should she go to the police? No Vicious had so many connections she wouldn't be able to count on them.

Should she tell Thomas? No, not even Spike could take him down.
Spike…should she?...no! How wouldshe be able to confront them after five years?

Oh hi guys, listen could you protect Spike and I's daughter from evil Vicious? Thanks. She giggled at the thought. Then she thought...what if it was nothing? Maybe old Delores was losing her mind. But Faye felt a little better.

"Yeah foolproof Faye." She said quietly. She heard hustling in Alexandra's room. Faye quickly peered intothe room. No one was in there…just her daughter tossing in her bed.

Faye sighed inrelief. She could feel her heart slowing down a little.

"Relax Faye, Relax." She told herself. She walked down the hallway and into her room. She turned to her bed and saw a figure with white hair on her bed sitting and smiling. Faye blinked and the figure was gone. Her heartraced again.

"Breathe Faye, Breathe." She went into her bathroom and changed out of her beautiful dress. When she came out, her husband lied on the bed.

"Hey honey." He said in a seductive voice. Faye looked at him with his shirt off.

"Are you naked under that blanket?" she asked giggling.

"Come find out." He said.

Faye crawled on top of Thomas…their lips meeting each other. She felt his hand run up and down her body, he turned her over to where he was on top of her.

Began to kiss her neck and stroke her breasts.

"I love you." She said to him. He lifted his head, and there he was…his brown eyes and green hair stared back at her.

"I love you too." He said. Faye jumped up with shock.

"Honey what's wrong?" asked Thomas.

"Please get off. Please!" she frantically asked. Thomas jumped off of her and she fled to the bathroom. She paced in the large bathroom back and forth, back and forth.

Why could she picture him? Why could she feel him? She even heard his voice. WHY? Why was she thinking of him?

Faye walked back out; her husband had boxers on now. He looked at her with a annoyed face.

"I'm sorry." She said. She waited for him to say "it's okay" or "don't worry about it, I understand." But it never came out of his mouth. Faye stood there by the bathroom door.

The same way Spike left her hanging.

"Thomas?" she said. Still no answer, he had said nothing to her. "Thomas I-I'm sorry." She said.

"Go to bed Faye." He said as if she were a child not once looking at her.

Faye climbed next to him. She turned toward him but when she did he turned away from her.

Faye would always feel that emptiness from this man…the emptiness that Spike Spiegel once filled. No matter how much she tried she always thought of Spike.

MORNING

"Okay Delores, my number is on the fridge and so is Thomas' and please call me if anything goes wrong." Faye had given old Delores all theold information once again. She wanted to make sure that nothing was going to go wrong.

"I know, I know Mrs. Collins. Please go have fun shopping." Delores assured her as she pushed Faye out the door.

Faye looked at her curly haired daughter and said:

"Be good."

Faye had shopped for hours and then decided to cut it short and go home as she walked down the sidewalk she saw a casino. Now Faye had changed a little, but she still had her old habits.

"GO BABY GO!" she cried as she watched her horse become neck and neck with the lead horse rider. They were close to the finish line, the crowd shouted to cheer on their horses.

As they were making the turn…Faye's bet had started to loose energy. The horse started to slow up. Faye had lost. With her same old habits, she had her same old luck.

She began to walkhome, the night sky was now overhead. A jinglingring came from her purse.

"Hello?" she said

"Hello Faye." A deep voice was on the other line. She felt it again her heart began to race again.

"Who is this?" she said petrified.

"Honey? It's me…Thomas." He said

Faye breathed in relief.

"Are you okay? You sounded a little scared there for second." He said.

"Yeah, Yeah I'm fine I just thought you were someone else." She said.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"Oh I just got some shopping done, I'm on my way home." She said.

"Okay, just wanted you to know I'm here and I'm going to bed. So ya don't worry. Love you bye." He hung up.

She finally came to her house; the lights were out so everyone must be asleep.

She tried to open the door quietly, so she wouldn't wake anyone.

"Delores? Thomas? Alexandra?" She whispered their names quietlyno one answered. She walked up the stairs to her bedroom. The room was pitch dark, the light from the hallway gave a little light. She saw the back of Thomas.

"Thomas? Thomas, look what I got. Thomas." Faye walked in and turned on the light. She jumped on the bed, he still didn't wake.

"Hey wake-up sleepy head." She said sweetly.

Her fingertips felt something warm on the sheets, it was sticky too.

Faye looked at her fingers…the tips were covered in blood. Her heart began to race like the horses at the track.

She began to breathe heavy and her eyes became broad.

"No." She turned Thomas over and in his forehead; two bullet holes let blood leak out.

She jumped from the bed…her husband's blank stare looking up at her.

"OH MY GOD! THOMAS!" she cried. Faye closed and blinked her eyes hoping it was a image…but it didn't go away, his face…his helpless blank face was all that kept popping up.

She then suddenly realized:

"Alexandra." She flung the door opened and ran down the hallway to her daughter's light pink room.

"Alexandra!" Faye pushed open the door; there she saw his face.

"Shhhhh, you'll wake the poor thing." Vicious stood in black, holding a sleeping Alexandra in his arms.

Faye blinked again and again…but it wasn't going away. It was truly him…it was the monster Vicious.

"You put her down!" Faye commanded.

"Or what? You'll get you big strong husband in here? Yeah he wasn't all thathard to handle. Or what about the little old lady that works for you? Yeah she was easy to eliminate as well."

Faye's heart raced faster and faster. In those arms lied her baby. And she was defenseless to save her. Faye tried to run to Alexandra, but she was pulled back by something.

"Let me go! You bastard let me go!" she tried to break free from a large bald man that held her close.

"You're a little rusty Faye Valentine." Chuckled Vicious.

Faye thrashed, kicked, bit, and scratched the man but he still would not let her go.

"You know I can't believe that this child is half Spiegel." Vicious looked at Faye with a "yes I know" look.

Faye stopped hurting the man for a second.

"Yes, Faye my dear I know." He said with a smile.

"What have you done to him?" she asked in a terrified voice.

"Who said I did anything to him…or was going to do anything to him." Vicious said.

"That Thomas in there…he was the one I was after." Faye lowered her head.

"He owed me thousands…all the phone calls that interrupted your dinners…it was I, all those "business trips" it was all me." He said sounding quiet pleased with himself.

"This child…it shouldn't even be able to live with the sins of you two. Especially you Faye." He said.

"What you have done is far more worse than what I have done in the past!" she shouted at him.

"Alexandra…hmm what a beautiful name. I believe this is where we leave." Faye was hoping that he would put Alexandra down. He turned toward an open window saying something soft as if speaking to his self, then pulled back his overcoat and pulled out a gun.

He slowly turned around; Alexandra's eyes were now opened.

"Alexandra!" Faye said quietly.

"Do you see mommy?" asked Vicious in a sweet tender voice.

"Mommy?" she asked.

Vicious held his gun out to Faye. Faye looked into Vicious' eyes with tears in hers she shook her head slightly.

"Please don't do this." She said. Vicious was silent for a moment then stuck his gun back in its holster.

"No I won't shoot you." Vicious snapped his fingers, another large man came up to Faye with a cloth…a powerful smell came to her face as he stuck the cloth up to her nose.

Faye's vision became blurry and she began to feel light headed. Before she passed out all she heard was Alexandra scream:

"MOMMY!" and the last thing she saw was Vicious climbing out the window with Alexandra in his arms.

Helpless to do anything Faye blacked out.
