Chapter 9

OoOoOoOoO

Miss Parker slowly started to regain consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was in her car and Lyle was driving.

"What…" she started but her voice trailed off as her memory of what just happened came back to her.

"Where is she?" she asked, her voice was a mix of concern and fear as she spoke.

"It's okay, just relax sis. Moana is driving Trinity, they're behind us," Lyle said.

"But I thought she would go back to Tepicore."

"Well… when you passed out… I asked her if she could come with us… to help, and maybe I… we, can help her too."

Miss Parker looked at her brother. What the hell was he talking about? Was he going to help her get away from Tyrell, to leave Tepicore? For what, the Centre? As if that would be any better…

OoOoOoOoO

One week later.
Miss Parker's house.

OoOoOoOoO

Miss Parkerwas devastated, her Trinity was not a sweet little child anymore, she was a monster. She refused to listen to Miss Parker, she ruined things, she was really mean to people. Miss Parker didn't know what to do anymore; she just couldn't stand seeing her daughter like this. One morning she had waken up and found a bit of her hair cut off. Another morning she had a bleeding cut in her right cheek. She had been terrified as her pillow was red with blood. Miss Parker didn't know what was going on, and she refused to believe Trinity was doing this to her, but as time went on, she couldn't deny it anymore. She started to be afraid of her own child…

It was late; Miss Parker had said good night to Trinity and just managed to fall asleep herself. The room was dark, and the moonlight fell across the floor.

She didn't hear the soft footsteps that sneaked into the room. Trinity walked up to the bed, watching her mother's sleeping face. She smiled evilly.

"Mommy is evil…" she repeated to herself over and over again. She raised her hand and a big silver knife gleamed in the moonlight.

She slowly lowered it and let in slide across Miss Parker's arm, leaving a thin trail of blood in its cut. Miss Parker shifted in her sleep, groaning silently.

Suddenly Miss Parker's eyes fluttered open. The first thing she saw was two icy blue eyes staring down at her coldly. A big knife was coming towards her chest in full speed and Miss Parker sprang out of bed with a loud scream of fear. Trinity laughed, her laugh sounded hollow and plain evil.

Miss Parker backed into a corner in pure shock. Her daughter was trying to kill her? Suddenly she became aware of the bleeding cut on her left arm. She gasped out loud, giving Trinity a terrified look. Miss Parker ran out of the room as fast as she could, slamming the door shut and locked it before Trinity could reach it.

As she heard her scream from the other side, tears started to run down her cheeks. She leaned against the door and slowly sank to the floor.

A phone started to ring in her bed room and before she could think, she heard Trinity's voice.

"Mommy can't talk now," she said and hung up. She laughed and Miss Parker whimpered and started to cry.

OoOoOoOoO

One hour passed in slow motion, Miss Parker was still sitting outside the bed room door. A sound from downstairs suddenly caught her attention.

There was footsteps coming up the stairs and a voice called her name.

"Jarod?" Miss Parker got up on her feet as she saw him coming up to her. Her legs trembled as she tried to move and she had to lean back against the door to not fall.

"What happened?" Jarod asked, giving her still bleeding arm a shocked look.

Miss Parker swallowed hard. "Trinity tried to kill me," she whispered as new tears filled her eyes.

Jarod stared at her. "We need to take care of that cut," he said softly.

"No, what you need is to get out of here wonder boy," Miss Parker snapped. But Jarod could tell by her voice she didn't really mean it. She sounded tired and hurt. So instead of listen to her, he grabbed her healthy arm and dragged her with him to the bathroom. Miss Parker tried to break free, yelling at him, but Jarod just ignored her pissed remarks and Miss Parker didn't have the strength to fight right now and soon gave up her struggling.

"Why did you come?" she asked as Jarod was putting a bandage on her arm to stop the bleeding.

"When she answered your phone in the middle of the night… I just… I knew something was wrong, but I could never have imagined this… you said she was…" Jarod paused as he was thinking of which word to use. "Changed," he continued. "My god Parker, what if she'd succeeded?"

Miss Parker looked down. "Maybe that would have been good, I have no idea how I'm gonna handle this," she confessed. "She's a monster… my little girl is gone."

"No, we'll find a way to get her back," Jarod said softly.

Miss Parker looked up at him. She shook her head.

"Don't give up," Jarod continued.

"Don't you get it Jarod? There's nothing I can do!" Miss Parker almost screamed.

Jarod tried to speak but Miss Parker cut him off.

"She's gonna kill me, the only way to stop her is if I kill her first," Miss Parker yelled, starting to cry again. This whole thing had been too much for her and she just couldn't force herself to be strong anymore. She sank to the floor and Jarod sat down next to her and took her in his arms.

OoOoOoOoO
