Paternal Bonds Shattered
Disclaimer: Do I need to say it? I don't own iCarly
A/N: COME ON PEOPLE, why is nobody reading this? PATERNAL BONDS was my most popular story, this takes that story and makes it BETTER, NEWER, You'd think you'd be interested in this. Or is it because Sam and Freddie aren't together from the start or something? They ARE. God this is frustrating, doing so well on a story, putting it up and nobody even gives much of a glance. Thanks to the few people who actually have reviewed it. I guess the newer generation of iCarly readers just want fluff...guess what, I'm an action/adventure/drama person, I WON'T WRITE FLUFF. Why can't anyone at least show they appreciate a good, well written story? Whatever, just read...
Chapter 4 (The Kidnapping)
Hector sat on the couch and looked into the kitchen where Amy was. She was making some brownies. Tomorrow was father's day, but today was going to be the most hectic day of his life. As each day passed, his mind and view of Sam just seemed to twist in all directions. Damn that Jeremy, he was growing more and more annoyed with the boy. "Amy, I'm going to head to the store for a little while."
"All right, but Sam should be home soon," Amy said with a smile. Hector nodded and left the house. He entered the car Victor had bought for him and started driving off. He wasn't really going to the store, he didn't know where he wanted to go. He just had to think. Amy didn't want Sam to know what he'd done, she didn't want Sam to find out, since it seemed the girl looked up to her father. Hector seemed to be making a change, so that was a plus, right? He was going to take Sam to the movies, and Amy was going to let him, although she still wasn't comfortable with it for some reason.
After a few minutes of driving, he noticed a car following him. He frowned when he saw the driver was Jeremy. He closed his eyes and slowly pulled into a nearby parking lot. The two exited the car and Jeremy smirked proudly. "So, you're going to kidnap her from the movies today, right?" Jeremy asked surely. He was looking forward to torturing the crap out of Sam.
"Yeah, but just how long do you plan to do this?" Hector asked while crossing his arms. He'd been affected to the point that he just didn't care anymore. He was willing to torture his own daughter. After all, she'd been raised to treat others like shit, she needed to be raised differently.
"So what do you think of her mother?"
"It's time to relieve her of her parental duties."
"Good. Now we're going to raise her for the remainder of her life. Her days are numbered." Hector slowly nodded and looked at his watch, the movie started in about an hour. Now Jeremy wasn't planning on Hector to do anything other than kidnapping Sam, but he was messing with fire. He should never have awakened Hector's pained memories. "Now get going."
"Victor's ordered me to bring her to his place. We'll keep her in the basement until he finds a better place for all of us to stay in." He had no choice but to bring up what had been going on with his boss. Victor, like him, had some issues in his day, so he sympathized with Hector.
The drive back to Amy and Sam's home, Hector basically lost it. The evil inside of him had been creeping up for so long, and now it seems it finally surfaced. He was going to do what he wanted and was not about to take orders from Jeremy. However, he'd let Jeremy have his cake for a little while before he made sure to bring the group down under his control. Once he pulled up in the driveway and started walking towards the door when it opened and Sam waved happily. "Dad! It's so good to see you!"
"You're back so soon," Amy said with a halfhearted smile. She really didn't know what to make of his sudden return, she hoped he'd stay at the store for a little while longer. Hector smiled at her and then smiled at Sam.
"Well you know I just wanted to spend some time with my daughter. Now before we go, would you like me to make you a ham and cheese sandwich?" Sam licked her lips and nodded, she would love a sandwich. Amy sighed and stepped aside, letting Hector move to the kitchen. Something seemed different about him, but she couldn't place it. She wasn't too worried though, she had to keep telling herself that he was a changed man and she wasn't right to deny Sam the right to spend time with the father she never knew.
"Now you be good at the movies, okay?" Amy asked with a smile as she gave Sam a hug. She was so proud of the strong woman Sam was growing up to be. "Don't kick anyone's seat and don't throw popcorn at anybody. Do you understand me?"
"Yes mom, I will be good." Sam laughed as Hector returned with the sandwich. Sam cheered and grabbed the sandwich, eating it with haste. She just wanted to go see the movies. Amy smiled and crossed her arms, she was so thrilled to see Sam so happy. She couldn't break her daughter's heart and tell her the kind of man her father had been. Besides, he seemed so different now. When Sam finished the sandwich, she looked at Hector and grinned. "Okay Dad, let's go! I want to see the monsters!" Amy chuckled and rolled her eyes, after so many years of not letting her daughter see R-rated movies, this was what it came to, her Ex-husband taking Sam to see a horror movie.
"Well you have fun and tell me all about the movie when you get home."
"I will mom!" Hector and Sam started to walk out the door, but Amy wasn't quite ready to see them go.
"Oh, and Hector!" He stopped and looked back, his hand resting firmly on the doorknob. "Have her back soon, preferably right after the movie ends." He smiled and nodded as he shut the door. Amy stared in silence at the closed front door. Suddenly, Sam's face appeared so vividly in her mind. The memories of Sam started coming to her mind, it was strange. They started with Sam as a toddler, playing with a toy car, then went through her aging. These were the memories of her that Amy never wanted to forget, the precious memories of her daughter. Her heart wrenched and a foreign tear left her eye, she wiped it away and frowned in confusion. Why the hell was she so fearful?
The movie was looking like it would be a good movie, but oddly nobody was there. This was perfect for Hector, who had become so distorted. It was during the previews that it happened, that he finally snapped and let the demon in him take him over completely. There was nobody in the theatre to hear, over the previews and the movie itself, the screams of Sam Puckett, who had stolen a slip of paper from her mom's records and discovered all too late who her father really was.
After it was done, Hector stood above Sam's unconscious form on the ground in between the aisle of chairs. His hands twitched and shook violently as he looked over at the movie playing. On the screen was the shadowy silhouette of a dangerous, violent monster. Damn that Jeremy. Hector flipped open the phone and contacted Mr. Oswin. "Victor, it's me, Hector."
"You've kidnapped her already?" Victor asked with a frown. He was laying back in a pool chair and sipping a margarita.
"Yeah, but…"
"What else is there?"
"I went too far, and it feels pretty good actually." Victor thought for a minute and quickly sat up, realizing what it was Hector meant.
"What? You get your shitty little ass over here immediately! We're going to talk, now!" Hector frowned as Victor hung up the phone. He pressed his fingers together and sighed. This was the man he was allowing the use of his basement to? Shit.
"Get up Sam." Hector grabbed Sam's shirt and shook her awake. She opened her eyes and saw him, then screamed, recalling what had just been done. Her father had beaten her. "We're going to the car, we have to leave."
"Let go of me!"
"If you say anything, I will kill you on the spot." Sam gasped and silenced herself as Hector dragged her out to the car. He couldn't let her run, but if she did, he'd have to chase her down. "You're not going to tell anyone about this. No, you'll be living with me from now on."
"No way, bastard! How could you do this to me? I'm your daughter!" Sam bawled and held her knees close. Her own father, the man that was supposed to be trusted, the man whose bond with his child was supposed to be so strong, had just shattered that bond. Hector growled and quickly put his hand around her throat, she gasped and stared fearfully into his angry eyes.
"You will do as I say, I will have no more of the way you treat everyone else."
"What?"
"I'm going to teach you some manners. You will leave iCarly, leave that boyfriend of yours, leave your mother, and live with me." Sam bit her lips and shook her head, whimpering fearfully as Hector started up the car and began driving.
"No! I won't do it! I don't want to!" She didn't want to lose Freddie, she didn't want to lose Carly. It was wrong, what her father was doing to her. "I'm not going to!" She wanted her mom, she wanted her mom to hold her. To hug her. She sobbed and started to try and open the door. Hector growled and stepped on the brake, causing Sam's body to jerk forward and her head to hit the dashboard. "Ah!"
"You have no choice in the matter!" He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, then slapped her across the face. He needed to break her, that was what Jeremy and the others wanted to do as well. "From here on out, you listen to me. Do you understand?"
"B-But…please…"
"I said do you understand me!"
"Yes!" Fearing another attack, she immediately agreed with him. He locked the doors and started driving off. She whimpered and moved against the door, she couldn't take this. She looked back as they passed her street, she wasn't going home. He wasn't taking her home! She sobbed and closed her eyes as she thought of her mother. Would she ever see her mom again?
"Tomorrow, I will allow you to say goodbye to Freddie and Carly, nothing more. You will not be permitted to tell them where you are at, do you understand me?"
"Y-Yes dad…" Tomorrow was supposed to be when they filmed iCarly, she didn't want to miss it. She never missed iCarly.
They made it to Victor's house and hurried inside. Victor frowned when he spotted Sam, she was too bruised up. "I can't believe you went to such extremes on the day of the abduction," Victor said disapprovingly. Usually after a kidnapping, that's when abuse would be better, but beforehand was not a good idea.
"I don't want anyone to ever find me," Hector said quietly. Victor nodded as he led Hector and Sam to his basement. He could actually arranged for Hector to cover his tracks. It just involved an almost immediate promotion and constant moving around. Fortunately Victor had enough money to lend Hector a hand.
"Hector, I will make you rich." He already had his basement ready for the whole kidnapping. There were chains hanging from the walls. They put Sam's wrist in the chains and she hung there, emotionless. "Girl, would you like a drink?" Sam slowly looked up and nodded her head. Victor grabbed a bottle of water, tilted Sam's head up and started pouring the liquid into her mouth. "There, are you good?"
"Fuck you!" Sam shouted angrily. Hector rolled his eyes and slapped her across the face once more. Sam yelped and slowly shook her head, hoping it would ease her pain somehow. She felt so disgusting, she felt filthy. How could this happen to her?
"Victor, there are these kids that orchestrated all this," Hector said as he pulled his friend aside. Victor nodded and looked back to Sam, who was watching them with a fierce glare. "They want to break her spirit. I'm not sure just how long we're going to hold her, but I want to control them. I must have control over them, I don't take orders from them, that's the message I want to pass along."
"Then I know just the thing to reel them in. At least one thing." Victor grabbed a camera and pointed it to Sam. He was going to make sure nobody ever suspected Hector of these crimes and that nobody ever came around him. He was going to make Hector one of the most powerful men around. "Girl, lift your head up, we need to take your picture."
"I hate you," Sam muttered quietly. She thought this man was her father, she thought she could trust him, but as it turned out, she couldn't. Hector crossed his arms and smirked, he did feel proud of himself now. He wasn't going to go back to jail.
"Keep it up and I'm going to make sure Hector here doesn't let you see the daylight again." Sam spat at him, but it didn't reach. Victor rolled his eyes again and snapped the photo. The camera was an old polaroid, so the photo came right out. There was no need to take it to a developer. "Here, show this to those kids. They'll know what they're getting into and they can't back out now. If any of them do…kill the traitor and his family…"
"Got it."
