Tears rushed down Matthew's face as he saw his dad standing in the cemetery. "Dad, you gotta help Mom-," he cried out, but he was interrupted as Daniel thrust the gun painfully against his cheek.
"Shut the hell up or I'll blow your brains out!" Daniel screamed at Matthew.
"Matthew, Jen and I got here as fast as we could. Where is your mother?" Bo asked frantically.
"Jen?" Matthew questioned in confusion. What in the world was his dad talking about? Jen? He looked around, but didn't see anyone with his dad.
Bo glanced over at Jen, seeing that she appeared nearly see-through in the pale moonlight. Surely she wasn't alive. She had to be a spirit, sent down from Heaven by his son Drew and his father Asa to help him rescue Nora and Matthew. "Jen, where is Nora?" Bo cried out.
Jen pointed toward the mound of dirt directly behind Daniel. Bo realized with horror that Daniel had buried Nora alive. He had to act quickly to save her life. Before Daniel realized what hit him, Bo tackled him for the gun. Bo knew he was taking a major risk, but he had to do it or both Nora and Matthew could die. Unfortunately, when Bo caught hold of the gun, it went off.
XoXoXo
The gun went off as Daniel dropped it. Matthew screamed and for a moment Bo thought he had been hit but it had only hit the nearby tree. Bo screamed at him to run and he had tried but he wasn't fast enough and Daniel had regained control of the gun…pushing it into his side as he grabbed him.
"Don't you even think of trying something that stupid again…you will leave when I say you can leave."
"What the hell do you want with him Daniel…He's not a part of this…he never was?"
"He's a part of this because he's your bastard son…"
"Don't speak to my son that way you son of a bitch…He never did anything to you…neither did Nora…and THIS is how you repay that?"
"Nora was supposed to be mine…If you hadn't interfered then she still would be…"
"And you'd still be cheating on her with a man young enough to be her daughter…You call that love? You don't know the first thing about love…you used her."
"And I suppose you know everything there is to know about love right?"
"I know that I wouldn't hide behind her to cover my own ass. Love is about sacrifice. What did you ever sacrifice for her Daniel? All you ever did was hurt her."
"What about you? You hurt her more then I ever could. How could I break her when she was already broken when I met her?"
"Maybe that's true…Maybe I hurt her much more then she deserved…but at least I would never intentionally put her in harm's way…at least I could keep her satisfied in a way that you never could…"
"I don't have to listen to this crap. We're leaving."
"You know it's true Daniel…and if you touch one hair on my son's head, I will kill you."
"You'll have to find me first."
"Matthew…"
"I'll be okay dad… Just find mom. She needs you much more then I do right now."
"I'll find you too son…I'll never give up on either of you."
"I know."
Daniel had then stuck the gun further into Matthew's side and screamed at him to shut up. As tears fell from his face, he took him away with him as his prisoner.
XOXOXO
Jen guided Bo over to the slab of dirt where Nora was buried and he started digging. By the time he found her, she was unconscious. She had her hand gently placed on her stomach, as if to shield her unborn child. Bo pulled her out of the grave and into his arms…
"Baby…Baby wake up…Please wake up…"
"Well isn't this touching…too bad your little reunion will be short lived…"
Bo looked up and saw the cold eyes of his ex girlfriend. What the hell had happened to her? This wasn't the woman he knew.
"What the hell are you doing Melanie? Since when did you carry a gun?"
"Since I realized I would need one to make your wife pay…"
"She never did anything to you…She treated you with nothing but kindness…"
"All a ploy to get you into bed…and you fell for it too…all of her manipulations. How could you be so stupid?"
"I'm not stupid Melanie. I'm in love. I'm sorry if it hurts you but Nora didn't have to manipulate me to get me into bed…because I wanted to be there. I love her…and nothing you do is going to change that…"
"Oh we'll see about that…Once Nora's dead then you and I can be together…"
"Are you crazy? Do you honestly think I would have anything to do with you now? You and your partner in crime had my wife and son kidnapped…you buried her alive…and now look at her? Do you even care that she's pregnant? She could be losing our baby right now and all you can do is stand there and talk to me about your insane ideas for a relationship that ended a long time ago… She needs to get to a hospital… she needs medical attention…"
"You're not taking her anywhere Bo. I, on the other hand, am…I have big plans for her…but you don't have to look so worried Bo…your baby will be just fine…Once she meets her real mommy and you learn to forget that Nora ever existed…"
"You're as crazy as Daniel…Put that gun down…"
"I can't do that Bo. I can't have you trying to play hero while I take Nora out of here. Now let go of her or I'll shoot…"
"Go ahead and shoot…because you'll have to shoot me before I let you hurt her."
"Now Bo, don't go talking stupid. What happens if I miss you and Nora gets shot in the head? You wouldn't want that would you? Then you'd have to explain to your son how you let his mom get killed…"
"What does it matter if you're going to kill her anyways?"
"I'll tell you what? If you behave, I'll let her live. I'm not sure how much of a life it will be for her but you want her alive, fine. Say your goodbye's Bo. Nora and I have big plans…and you can't be a part of them."
"What the hell are you talking about, Melanie?" Bo demanded as he glared at the crazy woman.
"I have surgical tools in my car. Nora's far enough along now that I can cut the baby out and the child will survive," Melanie answered. "I'm going to cut Nora's baby from her body and raise her as my own. She'll be my little girl. Yours and mine, Bo."
"You're positively nuts. There's no way I will let you touch Nora or harm her!" Bo cried out as he shielded Nora with his body. All he wanted to do was protect Nora and their unborn child from Melanie's sadistic plans.
"I'm afraid I can't let you stop me, Bo," said Melanie as she picked up the shovel and whacked Bo over the head with it. He fell unconscious over Nora's crumpled body.
"You're a stupid fool, Bo," Melanie said as she kicked Bo away from Nora.
Calmly, Melanie went to her car and got the towels and her surgical tools so she could do her little "operation" on Nora and retrieve the baby. There in the grave yard, Melanie raised Nora's top to expose her swollen belly. As Melanie lay her hand on Nora's protruding stomach, she could feel the unborn baby kicking within.
"Momma's gonna see you soon, sweetheart," Melanie crooned to the baby. She raised up a scalpel and aimed it toward Nora's stomach.
