WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
? LET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!? She screamed out loudly and flailed while she kicked and slammed back against the door. Snarling she narrowed her eyes on the steel door blocking her way to the outside world. Turning to look over her ?Room? she whimpered. The bed was standard for a prison, the bars on the window were also standard, and of course there was the stone walls were closing in on her. Wrinkling her nose she groaned and plopped down on the very uncomfortable bed.
Addison was in trouble, and of course she was on her own. Holding her head and sighing she shook her head. She didn?t even know where she was. Was anyone even looking for her? Whimpering again she looked back up at the steel door and frowned. Two days, TWO DAYS, she had sat here in this room getting fed food from a slot in the door. All time had been lost, time pieces, information givers, and even one piece of the outside world had been taken away from her!
She was wearing a blue long sleeved top and basic blue scrub pants. Her black hair was down over her face and her feet were bare. Green eyes were wild with rage and frustration. They had even taken a needle to her skin! She had been marked in the form of a black eagle right on the back of her wrist. Big green eyes bounced as she scrunched up her nose.
Rushing up to the door she slammed against it and screamed in agony. There was a snap as she slid down against it. Holding out her bandaged hand and grunting in pain while she held her ribs. They had been broken before this even happened and now she could feel pain surging up her arm from her wrist. Her leg was pulsing, she was sure she had twisted her ankle. Grunting in pain she sobbed out,? Daddy!! Someone!! PLEASE!?
Tears were streaming down her face as she rested her head back against the door. She just wanted to go home. The slot opened and food slid forwards along with a voice,? Don?t be an idiot, the more you fight the less likely you?ll make it out of here alive?? Screaming loudly she gave her response to those words by kicking at the door with her bare foot. CRACK!
Falling back she screamed out in pain and closed her eyes. Holding her foot she whimpered and cried out louder in pain. There were scurries outside the door and a man shouting loudly,? The worse condition she?s in the less we can ask for! Let me see to h-? But then there was gun shots and the voice was silenced instantly.
Curling into a ball she sobbed and held her foot in pain. Eyes closing she lay there on the cold stone floor while she pleaded with the maker to save her from this hell. Rocking back and forth she gritted her teeth. Slowly she hobbled to the bed and stood up on her good foot to peer out the window.
She was still in Rhy?Din she recognized the area around her; they were a few blocks away from the Pi House. It was by all means the worse area near the house, but perhaps they?d hear her scream. Someone had to. She could even see the CZK house way off in the distance. Maybe someone from there would hear her, perhaps Lyren or someone else with magical features. So she did it, it wasn?t hard seeing as how much pain she was in, she screamed with all her might!
Tears still flowing from her cheeks she screamed again and again before the door came crashing open. Turning she looked towards the man who had just slammed in. There was a high amount of steps before a reverberating slap echoed in the room. Another scream came as she flew off the bed and against the floor. Blooded skin now stained the stones beneath her as it scraped against the floor. Grunting and wincing in pain she tried to sit up and crawl towards the door, but she was blocked by the same man who had slapped her.
Looking up her red cheek burned and stung in the exposed air. Green eyes seemed to grow a bit dull as she focused on the man. Lip trembling she looked away while her black strands trailed over the ground. One hand limp, the other one shaking as a burse formed in a circle around the wrist. Her lips parted and she quivered with her next words,? You?ll have to gag me again because I won?t shut up? I will keep screaming for help, I will keep fighting??
The thump of the boots made her look up. He came to a kneel right before her and then there was a soft pat at her head. His laugh came next as he lifted her chin. Slowly his thumb came to graze over her chin while he leaned in closer to whisper softly,? Fight all you want Miss Brown? Eventually there will be body parts to send to your father? The more fighting the more blood. It will get a quicker response from him? I?m sure we will be getting one any moment.?
It was Addison?s turn to laugh while her greens rested on the man. A broken hand came up to smack his hand away with a grunt of pain,? DON?T TOUCH ME!? Then she spat in his face as her hand came swinging up to smack him where her saliva landed.
He stopped her with his own hand. A twist was made as his hand tightened around her wrist. She screamed again as pain coursed through her wrist and up her arm. Closing her eyes she looked away while he leaned in closer to her. This shadowed man whispered in her ear, violating her privacy with his hot breath,? You?re lucky all I do is touch a pretty little thing like you. Don?t tempt me to do otherwise.?
? You wouldn?t dare!? Addison looked at the man in horror and kicked away with her good foot. There was a sob and another scream for help as she looked up at the man in horror. This wasn?t good.
Laughing for the second time the man ran his fingers that had caressed her so over his lips before he licked them. Beady gray eyes turned to focus on her as he for the first time stepped into a defining light. Black hair fell over his face in a mushroom cut and deep tan skin defined his strong face. He was wearing army greens and a black top underneath. By all means he was a strong and handsome type, but the glitter in his eyes was all around horrifying.
His voice kept the same dark and menacing tone,? Behave then? Or I will put you in your place??Arms folded behind his back and he turned on the balls of his feet to look out the door,? Patch her up? It?s by far too much of a shame to see such a beauty in pain? After all we?ll need her in one piece when her father comes.? He started away after that leaving her to look up at him with a venomous amount of rage.
She grinded her pearly teeth against each other while she winced in pain,? He won?t come! Even if he did, he?s not that stupid.? Closing her eyes in pain she winced again and held her leg when it started to throb again. Closing her eyes she stammered,? Even if he did come he?d probably be happy about it. Even congratulate you for letting me get beaten like this??
No other words were said. At that moment there was a crash against the side of the building. Her head lifted and she gasped at the sound of machine gun fire. Wincing in pain she rolled on her back and laughed lightly. Shaking her head she mumbled something to herself while the door was shut and that man had pulled her up by the hair. Screaming out in pain she closed her eyes and silenced as that familiar barrel was pressed against her head.
Sniffling softly she listened to the chorus of gun fire as it shattered through the building. More explosions came as she quivered against the head of the gun pressed against her head. Eyes still tightly shut she felt her hands shaking while she stammered,? W..www?ww?wh? whaat? do? yaa? kn..kn?know? Hee dooees care?? More sapphire droplets dripped from her cheek while she slumped down slightly.
Her hair was pulled, but he didn?t speak as he listened to the closing fight outside. There were screams of pain and then nothing. Not a sound came from the door as he pulled her back from the door and pushed it open. The gun still against her head he pushed her out first to face the soldier now pressing his own weapon against her temple.
She gasped and closed her eyes as she tried to coil away from it. Only then did she feel the barrel against the back of her head. There was a light laugh from her captor while her eyes opened to focus on the serene blues before her. Then his voice came again,? Step aside or I kill her??
The soldier looked to Addison and then to the man. Weighing out his choices before stepping aside. Slowly her figure and the one behind her started to move forwards. Each step was excruciating compared to the last one. Her freedom was slipping behind her. There was a crash up behind her and then a stumble. Screaming she fell down as well having no support to hold her up.
Her eyes sought out the problem and the gun, but all she saw was a crumpled man laying with his face in the floor. Two soldiers were above him while the one who had stepped aside was rushed over to her. He held out his arms to scoop her up from the ground. Cradling her in his arms he started to move towards the door at a run. Remove the target from the threats.
Once outside he slid her up in the back of a truck. Nodding to her he closed up the door behind her and slammed a fist on the back of the truck door. There was the roar of an engine and then she rocked on her side with a scream. The truck lurched forwards and away at top speeds while a voice came from the front,?? Sorry Miss Brown. We have orders to secure your safety immediately.?
Grunting in pain she closed her eyes and flopped back all the same,? I understand? Just get me the frick out of this truck as soon as possible.? Pain was now pulsing through her like a wave of electricity.
The driver was seen nodding while he spoke to her,? Will do Miss. We will be at base shortly. There you will receive medical care and see your father.?
Her eyes shot open wide, but the pain was too great. As the truck bounced around a corner she screamed out in pain and then fainted. Everything going black while she lay in the back of the truck. She didn?t feel the arms pulling her up and onto a stretcher. Didn?t feel the medics filling her with fluids and checking her vitals. There was no reaction to the casts being put around her hand and opposite wrist, then the one around her ankle. Nor were the bandages around her ribs noted while she was mended by the best Human care.
All she would remember was the beep and hiss of the respirator while she lay there in a hospital bed. A woman with deep black hair and blue eyes was weeping out her eyes. Slumped in a chair and looking as if stress had added a great few years to her hair. Matured in age she didn?t even note her youngest child waking from her slumber while she sobbed into the cloth clutched in her fingers.
A man was pacing back and forth, still wearing his camouflaged uniform. Hands rushing up to tangle in his short gray hair. Big greens kept scoping the room while he continued his worried pace. He was the first to see his youngest wake and a deep breath was taken at the sight. Two steps brought him across the room and he pulled her into a hug. Kissing her forehead he was at a loss for words.
Her mother?s arms wrapped around her tightly. Fingers tangled in her hair and kisses were met on her head from both her parents while she winced out in pain,? MOM! DAD! OUCHIES!!? Addison wasn?t in the mood for the pain coursing through her body, she just wanted to get pack to plotting pranks in the CZK house.
Laughing could be heard from both parents as they pulled themselves away from their daughter. Her father ruffled her hair and brought a hand down to caress his ?Angel?s? cheek. Big greens met the same big greens when he looked down at her. His gruff voice billowed out warmly to her,? I used to get so mad at you for spending money on that damned card? Thank the maker you bought that diary with that card. I would have never found you otherwise.? Hugging her tightly he brushed his fingers over her hair while he spoke again in that warm tone,? Thank the maker you?re all right? I?m so sorry for being mad at you, so very sorry. Never again. Never ever again.?
Sobbing hard she wrapped her arms around her father. Wincing in pain she stammered,? I? I? I?m sorry Daddy.? Gotta admit she was a Daddy?s girl.
Through the days she spent in the ICU of the base she learned that the man who was so determined to have her father was once a family friend. As a child Addison was watched by this man while her mother or father was away on mission. Addison even had a little girl crush on this man, but now as she thought about it he always seemed a bit off in comfort level. She had trusted so easily in her life and she was sure that the CZK girls were by far the best to trust. Yet here she was worrying them while she was slowly healing.
On the fourth day of absence she was moved to a private room of the commander?s house. There she was given limited movement throughout the base. Addison was left to heal slowly, but surely. Through the day she was visited by many tending to her ever need as she moved about her room that was still not even seen as her own. The door clicked open frequently, but it was the last visit of the day that had her weary, her father had come to visit, alone.
He was speaking while he glanced out of the window, always keeping a wary eye on the world he didn?t understand or know,? Tomorrow we?ll be leaving for home. I have been told that you are well eno-?
?I?m not going. I?m not.? Addison had interrupted him while she sat up. Grunting in pain and holding onto her ribs again she turned to fumble with the pain killers on the side of her bed.
He had turned to look down at her with a wrinkled nose. Those green hues were focused on her while she fumbled with the pills. Swiftly he rushed to her side and opened the bottle for her. Quickly helping her take the pills he sighed softly,? Addison, I know we had our issues, our argument before you left still seems to be holding you back, but you will be going home.?
Addison?s own bright hues went wide while she focused on him,? It?s not that! I just don?t want to go Daddy. I love you and I love Mom, but I don?t want to go home. I?m making a life for myself on my own Daddy. I even live in a good place where I can grow up. Daddy please let me stay! Even if I have to go to school, something, anything.?
The father sighed and looked away from his child, rubbing a hand over his chin he leaned back slowly. Soft reluctant sighs came from him while he thought of what to say. Brushing his hand over his face big green eyes turned to focus on her while he took a deep breath,? Are you happy in this world??
?Yes, Daddy, I am.? She nodded to him.
He sighed still looking to her,? School??
Again she nodded,? Yes.?
?And you have a place to stay?? He questioned her while he looked out the window once more.
?YEAH! It?s called CZK! It?s a Sorority house and? and? and? the girls there are really cool! I even have a friend name Alyssa and she?s great! They gave me a room with no questions asked.? She smiled brightly to him and then gave big puppy eyes that could melt even the coldest of hearts,? PLEASE DADDY!?!?!?
That look made him laugh. How could he say no to that face? Smiling he pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead. After all Addison was his little girl,? Okay, okay. You can. How can I say no to you after this happening? Just promise me you?ll let me take care of you while you?re here. That means the account, the school, food, drink, car, whatever you want Addison.?
Utoh, he said those words and she was dancing in the bed. Giggling loudly and covering her face for a moment before looking to him. Hugging him again she nuzzled her father?s shoulder and sighed,? Thank you Daddy.? Wait until she told Lyssa.
It was roughly ten am the next morning when a black car was stopping out of the CZK house. It was a government issued car in which a driver stepped out from within. Pulling down the camouflage hat on his head he moved over to the back door on the passenger side and opened it. First out was a dark haired man wearing a dress uniform fit for nothing else but a General. Clearing his throat he nodded to the driver and turned to look within the car.
Extending a hand while the driver scurried to the trunk he spoke,? Easy Angel, easy?? A cast was extended forwards, hand deep within to rest in his. A pair of feet was next to swivel out of the car, one within a cast as well. Sliding forwards black hair bobbed out and then a baby like face with big green eyes was looking out over the CZK house with joy. Addison was slowly and gently pulled from the car and given crutches since she refused to use a wheel chair.
Then there was a flair of black hair and fists coming against the back of Addison?s father. Frantic words came from the little mass that screamed from little lips,? LET HER GOOO!!! YOUS! BIG POOPY HEAD! LET HER GOO!!? Lyssa to save the day!
Addison snickered while she watched her best friend bash and beat on her father. Her father was at a loss for words while he turned to look at Alyssa. Curiosity was all over his face while he brought her hands to a stop. Addi shook her head and spoke lightly,? Lys, it?s okay. Daddy this is my best friend Lyssa, Lys, this is Daddy.? Addison leaned forwards on her crutches, this was going to be hard to move on with her hands wrapped in casts, but she?d do it.
Lyssa?s mouth formed a gaping O while she looked up at the grinning man. He laughed and bowed his head while she snickered. Pointing from Addison?s father to Addison she paused when she saw the girl?s state. Then she pointed and cried out,? YOUS! YOUSSS!!!!!? Addison was counting down for those sobs and when Lyssa stopped to take a breath from her ?Yous? it happened. Lyssa started to bawl while she stammered,? What happened to yous?!? I?ve been so worried about yous!?
Shaking her head she sighed lightly,? Lyssa, if I told you? You?d be so afraid to leave the CZK house that you?d never come out.? Grinning while she shifted on her good foot. Wrinkling her nose she frowned a bit before mumbling,? Just promise me you?ll never take things from a store without paying for them ever again??
But this brought laughter from Addison?s father. He patted Addi?s back before scooping up Lyssa into a hug,? So this is who I have to thank for my little princess for using her card.?
The morning went over Addison?s father looking over the house and giving his Fatherly approval. When he left Addison could, finally, sigh a big breath of relief. Lowering her head she hardly noticed that Lyssa was staring at her. As her eyes turned to focus on her BFF she then noticed the stare. Turning on her good foot she leaned her head to the side,? What??
Lyssa shrugged, not sure what to say at that moment. Giving a weak smile she managed a few words after a drawn moment of silence? So? You really bought my Diary? You went and paid for it and that?s why you went missing??
Addison shook her head and leaned over for a moment. Wincing she stammered softly in pain while she gripped at her pockets,? No.. No.. I.. I did something for a friend? Then I was heading home. I was acting careless and stupid that morning. So lost in myself that I couldn?t stop to look around for one moment. If I had been paying attention I would have never been in that situation. It was never you or your diary. It was me being an idiot.? A firm nod was given to her BFF while she smiled.
Finally a pill was pulled from her pocket and popped back while she looked about. Smiling to Lyssa she sighed once more,? Common lets go shopping. Daddy said I can finally spend money without being afraid of him hunting me down. I need to fix up my room the way I want it.?
Together the pair giggled and smiled. They meandered out of the door, well Addison wobbled, but they made it out of the door and off to shopping land. With each step Addison seemed to be growing happier as she spent the day with her BFF. She may have been battered and bruised for the last week, but it was worth it when she thought of what her life had in store for her now. At least she had a few more months before she?d have to go to school.
