I was dragged into the house by Jared after he opened the car door for me, chivalrous, I know, but I didn't really have it in me today to be a fangirl. He had carried me again even though I insisted that he hadn't hurt me and my dad had simply locked me in there but Jared hadn't listened to me, dumping me on the couch, yelling at a girl called Emily to get her ass over there to help me and then… Leaving. Just like that.
So now I was stuck in whoever's house this was with Emily cooing over me, trying to force chicken soup down my throat as she whispered you poor baby over and over again. Last time I checked I wasn't five, traumatic experience or not. For the millionth time I shook my head and pushed the bowl down with as much force as I could muster. Emily was nice despite everything which made my soft hearted nature come out.
"Emily this honestly isn't necessary, I mean the only real problem I had in there was that I… I didn't know where…" Nonononononono! "Crap the twins oh my God oh my God oh my God. I forgot that they're trapped somewhere and oh my God. They're probably scared and crying , Grey trying to act brave while Blue waits for her prince charming to come while they're both just scared inside." At the mental image that appeared of them huddled in a corner of a cold and damp basement I almost broke into tears, instead trying to stand up. Yet I was breathing so hard, panicking so much, that my legs gave out beneath me, my legs pulled up to my chest in an attempt to protect myself from the harm.
You're not in harm's way you dumbass! It's your brother and sister out there so get you fat ass up and help them for God's sake! Conscience for once was right, surprisingly, so I got myself off the floor, putting on the hardest face I could manage, which to be honest wasn't much considering the hyperventilating hadn't stopped just because of a few motivational words from conscience.
"Kim where do you think you're going?" Emily stood in front of the door with her arms crossed, forming an obstacle I didn't expect, making it all the worse. "I was told by Jared that you are not to leave, you're still recovering love." Okay, I barely knew Jared, let alone this lady who'd decided to take it upon herself to shield me from the world at some point this evening, so what the hell did they think they were doing, trying to keep me from saving my little brother and sister? If it had just been Emily I honestly wouldn't have minded all that much but the minute Jared came into the conversation the feminist side of me stood up.
"Jared can't tell me what to do." My voice never rose above normal conversation level, a technique I'd seen in lot's of films and read about in books: His face portrayed none of the anger his eyes showed me, the whisper in which he'd said the threat making it even more imposing. So yeah, I was kind of hoping that my voice was as menacing as that, but I highly doubted it, especially after seeing Emily's raised eyebrow.
"And I know that honey but you really shouldn't go anywhere." I didn't care if I flipping should or not, all my mind was processing right now were the horrid mental images being thrown at me every two seconds.
Grey crying. Blue crying. Them trying to stay as far away from the door as humanly possible. Them whimpering every time a step was heard. Blue scared. Grey scared. Both of them shouting my name in hopes that I'd come to save them.
Now I could say that I reacted rationally, deciding that if I drew out a plan in my head everything would end up great with my baby brother and sister safe in my arms by the end of the day but, well, that wasn't very likely to happen, especially after the last image. How dare I forget about them? I was the only person in their family who actually cared about them, the only one who'd loved them for their whole life, and I'd forgotten that I had to save them. Me, their last hope, had simply left them all alone.
"I'm sorry Emily but I have to at least try. Even if I die trying." I knew my dad wouldn't hurt me enough to kill me, at least I hoped so, so with a push a got rid of the only thing between me and my siblings. Well, that and my dad but once I got there I'd decide what to do. This time I wouldn't need saving, this time I was going to rescue the most important people in my life because without them there wouldn't be a point in trying to keep going, nobody would remember me anyway.
My feet hit the pavement at a steady rhythm as I went to the only place I could think of, where I'd been stuck. Maybe my dad had brought them there? Or maybe he was sitting in his old recliner waiting for me to fall right into his trap as he laughed maniacally. I honestly wouldn't care less except that if it was a trap then that would mean Grey and Blue were somewhere else but I was ready to kick him where the sun don't shine repeatedly until he told me where he was keeping them hostage.
The run was pretty long, so long that the sun was starting to set by the time I arrived at my house, out of breath. The scenery was beautiful but just like the chivalry displayed by Jared before I couldn't stop to admire it, I simply had to keep going. It was like a mantra in my head Find siblings. Save siblings. Comfort siblings. Tell them we would never see that man again. Go out for ice cream. The last one seemed like the best step out of all of them but I was ready to go through every single one of those bullet points if it meant I would have a nice relaxing meal (if ice cream can even be classified as such) with my lost brother and sister.
Meanwhile with Jared…
"Ugh! I mean I scanned the room and I was so scared and I just… I saw this will written on a box with pencil and her lying there in the middle of the room… I can't even…" I kicked a rock out of my path and into a tree, destroying it a little.
"Why are you here then?"
"Huh?" I looked at him totally confused yet as his words sunk in my face must've turned into a mask of horror. I hadn't thought of that. I'd been so nervous and scared that the first thing I thought of doing was running a perimeter around La Push to make sure no vampire were nearby so she couldn't get hurt anymore and by the end of that I had been so freaked out that I'd come to rant a little to Sam.
"I was so scared that I didn't even realise that I would've been more useful next to her. Crap!" Sam face palmed next to me, I simply flipped him off, running towards civilization and away from the forest.
"You're welcome!" He shouted back at me as I sprinted but I didn't pay him any attention because Kim's scent didn't get any stronger when I approached Emily's house. That could only mean one thing.
Kim wasn't there.
