CONFESSION 6
I am but we were and I'm tired of wanting
It hurts more than I'm capable of flaunting
And I need to be loved by somebody
You've been my only friend
Amy woke up in her cold jail cell. She slowly sat up and scanned her body for injuries. Bruises covered her body as it was aching badly. Cara was stronger than she thought. She rested her hand on her stomach.
"Hang on, baby. We'll get out of here…" she said hoarsely.
The door opened revealing Cara, who had a menacing look on her face.
"Get up, Cahill…" she said.
Amy rolled her eyes at Cara. Her pregnancy hormones were kicking in and Cara will be the one dealing with her. How fantastic…
"I'll start your torture early…" she grinned as Amy was strapped to a wheelchair once again and was led to the same room where she was electrocuted. She sat at the same chair as Cara circled around her.
"Worthless, you are nothing compared to me…" she whispered.
'Verbal torture…' Amy thought.
"Ian could never love someone like you because he loves me… Do you even think Ian could love someone like you?"
Cara's words stung Amy. But she kept on being strong. For the baby and Ian.
"Someone who is nothing, and has nothing…"
Isabel stood at the corner, watching quietly as Cara tortured Amy. She couldn't shake the feeling that this has to stop. Isabel was feeling a bit guilty.
Amy found the courage to confront Cara.
"You may have everything, Cara… But I have one thing that you don't have…"
Cara raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
"And that is?"
Amy leaned and whispered in her ear.
"I'm pregnant with his child, something you can't give him because yours is frozen as winter…"
Cara's eyes widened and slapped Amy.
"You bitch! You drugged him didn't you? Because Ian would never sleep with you…"
"We sleep on the same bed, Cara. Do you want to know how good it feels when he's inside me? When he moans out my name and when HE WAS NEVER YOURS…" Amy taunted.
Cara was fuming in anger. Amy did a great job turning the tables and provoked Cara.
"Arghhh… I've got enough of you, Cahill. Time to finish you off…"
Cara leaned in and glared at Amy.
"I'll make sure you and that child will never see the living daylights again. And that child will die before Ian gets here…"
Amy's eyes widened and glared at Isabel who avoided her gaze. She didn't notice Cara as she kicked Amy at the stomach.
"If I can't have a child then I'll make sure you can't either…"
Amy was powerless against Cara's blows, kicks and punches. She tucked her knees to her chest, protecting her stomach from Cara's aggressive behavior. Amy was beginning to lose strength, due to no food or fluids was in her system.
"Stop it, Cara…" Amy said weakly as Cara played with her nails.
"I'm bored, Are there any sharks here, Isabel?"
Isabel rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Don't boss me around, woman…" she muttered.
Amy squirmed as her feet was dangling few feet from the deep blue waters of the ocean. Cara watched her with an amused expression.
"I heard sharks can smell blood, Amy? How about I make you bleed first?" Cara said.
Isabel got up.
"Out of the way, Cara. I'll have my fun now… Just put this on live and let's see how long my son can stay still, knowing that his wife and unborn child will be thrown to sharks…"
Amy paled as Cara got out her phone and continued recording. Isabel got out her dart gun and shot Amy at the thigh.
"What is this, Isabel?" Amy asked furiously.
"It's what you wanted before right? Abortion. You asked Sinead to help you right, I'm doing you a favor, Amy…" Isabel said.
One by one Amy's tears started falling as blood trickled down her legs. Her jade green eyes were clouded with tears. Soon enough, sharks were circling around her.
"I-Isa-bel… Don't d-do th-is to m-me…" Amy stuttered as the pain in her stomach intensified.
"Give me a reason to save you…" she mocked.
"You don't h-have to d-do this for m-me… Have pity on your grandchild…" Amy cried.
Isabel remained silent.
"You are mother too, Isabel. I know you can't hurt your flesh and blo-"
Isabel cut her off…
"Don't you think I can't hurt my own flesh and blood? Do you remember when I shot Natalie?" she grinned.
"I thought you wanted to get rid of the baby? Because you knew Ian would never accept your child because he never loved you…" Cara added.
Amy bit her lip in nervousness, the sharks were getting aggressive as time passed. The world was spinning as Amy lost consciousness.
Amy woke up in a comfy bed and not the jail cell she was held in before. Isabel was seated at the sofa a few meters from her. Amy sat up quickly and winced as pain clouded her vision. Isabel got up and sat near her.
"I got you out after you lost consciousness… Don't worry, your baby is fine. He or She is a Kabra after all…"
Amy was confused because Isabel was being nice, she felt like it's a trap.
"Why did you save me?" Amy asked.
"I had to. I tested you, Amy… I saw how you love someone that even if others bring you down. Cara was madly in love with Ian, I promised her that she'll marry Ian if she could beat you. Turns out, you've beaten her at her own game."
Isabel stood up and faced the large window.
"I had never been a good mother but I always wanted the best for my children. I never approved of your relationship with Ian, Cara was the model daughter-in-law I ever wanted. I watched you from afar, I saw how happy Ian is with you. Right after Cara tortured you, I felt guilty… like why I was taking my son's happiness away, then when I found out your pregnant and Cara's blinded by her feelings for Ian: I had to act fast…"
Isabel smiled as she faced Amy.
"I'm sending you home… Ian is worried sick already, just don't tell him I let you go…"
"Why?" Amy found her voice to ask Isabel.
"My son is better off without me…"
