Son
Chapter Thirteen
Uh... my excuse this time.... school. We'll go with that one. Thank god it ends in like 18 days. Internships are over with so I won't be as tired. Whoo! Then I get to graduate. Wonder if anyone is still reading this...
Bridgette gasped jolting awake. Jake still wasn't back yet after being taken two days ago. She squinted as the sun poured into the basement. She looked over to see Kyle had fallen asleep like her. He was so still she would've thought he was dead if she hadn't noticed his chest moving.
"Kyle?" She whispered hoping to wake him.
He stirred shifting his weight off his arms.
She frowned. "Kyle?"
He didn't move. She slowly sat up, hissing as her stomach started to burn. She let out a small cry finally sitting up. Kyle stirred again. The room started to sway when Bridgette tried to stand up. She bit her lip leaning on the wall for support. Taking a long deep breath she gathered herself. All that kept replaying in her head was the scalpel slicing through her flesh. They we're doing probably something ten times worse to Jake. A chill ran through her at the thought. She slowly made her way over to Kyle ignoring the pain.
"Kyle!" She whispered nuding his shoulder.
He flinched, eyes flying open.
"Sorry." Her legs shook unsteadily under her. Finally she slid down the wall next to Kyle.
He frowned not seeing Jake. "He's still with them?"
Bridgette nodded weakly. "I'm worried. I keep picturing all the gruesome things they can do to him. The things they probably already did! What if--"
Kyle waited for her to finish. "What if what?"
She looked at him, tears welling up. "What if they don't find us in time?"
That thought had been running through his mind from the moment he awoke in this hell hole. He looked away not knowing what to say.
She swiped at her eyes with the back of her hand. "We have to do something. We have to do it soon. No since of him losing all of his kids at once."
Kids? He didn't think Horatio had any other kids beside himself. "What are you talking about?"
"Jake didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
She paused. "We're your brother and sister."
Before Kyle could say anything the door opened.
