A/N: Hello, folks! Well, this is going to be my last update for the next night or two! I hope to see some more reviews soon! After all, it's almost Christmas! ;) Well, I'll end this off, with a little PS note…
PS: I read more of my previous story, The Alternate Home Alone Halloween, and I noticed I had another Marv's memory. :/ I knew I shouldn't have started this, until I was absolutely sure there were no more… There may be more, but I just haven't finished reading yet. Luckily, that particular memory was a few weeks after Marv and Kate first met, so it still makes a little sense to have the chapter I wrote last night. I'm hopefully going to work the next Marv's PoV into that particular scene, so that it makes sense. Obviously, I'm not going to worry about it this chapter, because it's Kevin's PoV. But, I just thought this should be told! Anyway, let's go! :)
Chapter 8: Escape II
Kevin's PoV:
I'm running out in the cold, October air, hoping I can escape from Marv. Shortly after I'm outside, I realize I'm in a secluded area, similar to Harry and Marv's house on the highway, heading into Chicago. I know that's not where I am, though. I look back, and see Marv just heading out the door to chase after me.
I feel a slight bit of panic, once I realize Marv is now after me. I'm running away from my Father, but I don't know how much of a Father he's going to be to me. I don't want to stay and find out; I want to go back home to Chicago.
Once I make it out to the road, I don't take much time to look in either direction; I just head left. My heart is thumping, and the panic is starting to rise. I quickly look behind me again, and I see Marv is still after me. That's to be expected, of course.
I face forward again. This time, I'm not heading into the city; I'm heading into darkness, which frightens me, even more. There could be anything or anyone walking these dark streets at this time of night—whatever time it is. It almost makes me prefer staying with Marv!
I look back from the darkness, and notice Marv is still hot on my tail. I believe it won't be long, until he catches me. What should I do? Risk my fate on the side of the road, in the darkness? Or, should I take my chances with Marv? It's hard for me to decide.
It doesn't take long for me to decide, because the next thing I know, I trip and fall. I'm not too sure what I tripped on, but I'm down on the ground, and I know Marv will catch me now. I feel an overwhelming sense of defeat and failure, as I remain on the ground. I don't even make an attempt to stand back up. It's not because I hurt myself, either. I just don't feel like being abducted by someone even worse on the side of this dark highway.
It isn't long, before Marv is up to me, "So, you decided to give up, huh?" I look up at him. His hands are firmly placed on his sides, as he looks down at me. I don't feel fear, looking at him; I just feel failure. I look down at the ground and just nod.
"I don't know…" I truly don't know what to think or feel right now. I raise my arm up to him and say, surrendering, "I give up. You can take me back to the house,"
I'm still looking down at the ground and holding up my arm, but nothing seems to be happening. I glance up at Marv, and see that he's still standing there, looking at me. I feel slightly uneasy, and I start to question what he's doing, until I look closer at his face.
He appears to be feeling the same way I am. I think he doesn't trust me. Frankly, I don't blame him, but I just don't feel like running, anymore. If I feel this way now, what's going to happen, if Marv truly is a bad guy? I guess he can't be any worse than Harry…
"You what?" he finally questions.
I continue looking at him, as I say, "I surrender. You can take me back to your house or whoever's it is,"
"You're screwing with me, right, kid?" He's stalling time. He also called me, his apparent "son", "kid".
"I'm not," I shake my head. "I just don't feel like wandering up these streets by myself, if you did lose me. I'll take you over some creep pulling over to pick me up from the side of the road anyday."
Marv slightly chuckles, before taking ahold of my hand and pulling me up from the ground. I guess he finally saw where I was coming from. He doesn't force me back to the house, like any other kidnapper, either.
He wraps his arm around me, as we mosey our way back. I don't put up a fight, and I know Marv is surprised by this. In fact, I'm quite surprised by it, too… What's happened to me, to be able to give in to Marv like this? I don't know, but I just hope things go smoothly, and I'm able to go home to Chicago soon…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again, folks! Hooray for longer chapters! :D I didn't overly expect this chapter to go in this direction, but I believe it only made sense for Kevin to not be wandering some random highway in the pitch black… This isn't my story, We Meet Again, here! XD (Then again, he was with some horrible abductors in that story…) Anyway, what do you think will happen next time? Remember, the next time I update, it will be Marv's PoV. :) For now, I believe that's all I have to say. So, ciao! :D
