Princess

Eddie was freaking out. Patricia. She was gone. Her jacket was left behind. And her blood stained the concrete sidewalk of Liverpool.

His fingers clenched around his girlfriends jacket. What happened? Where was she? This time there were no clues at all to what had really happened and why. She trusted him, but she still kept her secrets.

Eddie suddenly stopped, as his Osirian powers took over and went off into vision mode.

"Stop!" screeched a 9 year old girl. She had tears streaming down her face, but Eddie could barely recognize her. Yet she seemed strangely familiar."Why are you doing this to me?!" she screamed crying. Eddie's heart broke watching the scene infront of him, and not being able to do anything to help her killed him.

"Why?! You deserve nothing! Go die! Or better yet, let me kill you!" the man hollered drunk and angered, slapping and kicking her more.

"I have to call you my dad! You! I hate you!" the young girl yelled.

"That's it! I've had enough of you and your *****iness!" her father shouted, before grabbing her by the neck and swinging her across the room, causing her to hit the wall with a loud 'BANG!' and her body to fall to the ground, limp and lifeless.

As soon as the man walked out of the room, Eddie was able to move. His body munuvered itself over to the broken girl. As Eddie reached her he could see loads of blood running down her paling face. Eddie kneeled, and picked her up gently, caressing the girl's body. He felt for a pulse and there was that extremely soft pumping that caused him to let out a breath of relief.

Who this girl was? Eddie wasn't too sure but he had his suspicions. Eddie continued to hold her, when in the mirror infront of the two showed him something. In this horrifying vision of his, he was ten years old again. And this girl was nearly the same age. Now it all made sense.

Blood red hair. Scarred body. The unforgettable bruises.

The one and only, Patricia Williamson.

Eddie panted as he came out of his terrifying vision.

He needed to save her. Fast.

LINEBREAK

"We're here!" the raspy female voice said.

"Finally. Now it's time to get what we want!" cheered the man.

Patricia couldn't believe this was happening to her, they had found her. How?! She was dying inside, as the truth ripped apart her soul. She didn't deserve this! Did she?

She thought she had gotten away from this horrible nightmare. She had thought wrong.

"Get the girl!" the man ordered.

She heard clicking footsteps come her way, and all that came to Patricia were her scarring memories.

"Get up, you *****!" she screamed. Patricia's walls faltered and she gulped.

"Yes mommy." she whimpered. Just as she had years and years ago.

LINEBREAK

Her 'mom' tied her up against a chair, and Patricia kept quiet. Her walls had been built to keep people out and protect her secrets. The only person who had ever broke them were Eddie, not even Joy was able to do that.

But in all truth bringing back her secrets was diminishing the strengths of her forcefield, and it had crumpled to an extent.

"We make the phone call now!" the man screamed. "Then we get to have a little fun!" That man, he was awful. But she was forced to call him 'father'. But this was her stepfather. Her real father would have protected her, kept her safe and warm. Read her stories at night and ate ice cream with her. Her real father would have cared, but he was long gone.

She heard little taps, the numbers being dialed into the phone. From what Patricia could tell, the person on the other end picked up immediately.

"We have her. We have your little princess."

LINEBREAK

Far away from home. In a forgotten land.

"We have her. We have your little princess."

The phone dropped from the woman's hands. They had her. They had her daughter.
