Michael's POV

I could take no more. This had to stop.

"THREE!"

Before Lisa could do anything else, I swung my legs knocking her off balance. She fell, and as she did she bashed her head on the side of Janet's dressing table. She tried to get back up, but I lashed her hands behind her back before she could do anything else. I then ran for the phone and rang the police.

"Mike! Please, I'm sorry!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry Lisa…I can't let you do this" I said, calmly. I ran over to Janet and untied her. Janet seemed strangely floppy and limp. She was breathing heavily and she seemed to keep drifting off.

"Janet? Baby, you ok? It's over…" I assured her, holding her face in my trembling hands. I untied her and tried to pull her up, but as she stood she fainted.

I gasped, picked her up and laid her gently on her bed. I ran to Lisa and held the gun to her face. Why was I being so violent? This wasn't like me.

"What have you done to her?!" I shouted in her face. Lisa just smirked.

"The police are on their way, now tell me!" I threatened her with the gun. Even she knew I'd never shoot.

"Ok, fine! I tested out some drugs on her, but it was only to scare her!"

I grabbed Lisa's neck.

"Nobody scares my sister" I snarled. I ran back to Janet; she was growing increasingly pale, and was groaning slightly.

"Janet Hunnie, it's ok. You'll be fine" I choked on my words. How did I know that?

Within minutes, the police had barged in and were taking Lisa away. She struggled and lashed out, yelling abuse at me and my sister. A few medical staff also arrived, and Janet was soon helped onto a stretcher and taken to the ambulance. I ran alongside of her, holding her hand and telling her that I was here.

Janet tried to yell and resist the journey; I could sense this. We were almost telepathic. Janet hated hospitals and got extremely scared.

"It's just for tonight sis, I promise" I told her, even though I didn't know how serious her condition was. The doors closed and we began to speed off. Janet needed help.


A few hours went by, and Janet seemed to come round slightly. She was put on a drip and slowly she was beginning to respond to me.

"I'm sorry Janet, I should have been there" I said, stroking her hand. I traced the scars on her arm where Lisa must have injected her.

"It was…so…painful" she managed to speak. I put my hand on her forehead.

"You look terrible. She's attacked you badly. No worries, a bit of rest will help" I reassured.

"I…want to…get out of here. We…need to…find…Katie…" she furrowed her brow as she tried to speak clearer.

"I know Janet. Don't worry, you stay here and get better. The police managed to get some information off Lisa, and I know the whereabouts of Frankie's lab. I'm going as soon as possible."

"No! I…need to…come too, please- -"

I put a finger to her lips.

"No Janet. You have to get better. You reacted badly to the drugs sweetheart…I'm sorry."

Janet began to sob and I hugged her gently.

"Listen…when you get out of here, and when I save Katie, we're going to move back into Neverland. We're going to live happily together, and I'm going to adopt Katie." I smiled.

"Really?" Janet sounded excited and smiled.

"Yeah, really." I confirmed, squeezing Janet's hand. She managed to rest a bit now, and soon after she had fallen asleep, looking much better every time I looked at her. I gently let go of her hand and slipped a note in place, telling her where I had gone and that I loved her.

The time had come to stop this, once and for all.


I'm sorry this was a short chapter.

I just know you hate cliff-hangers so I thought I'd clear it up for you :)

I have important exams this week and I need to finish some important work off, so I really don't have a lot of time.

This story is going to start coming to a close soon and I promise I'll update as soon as everything is over :)

Thanks xx
