🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - SEVEN🌹

Perhaps it was a mistake of me to not have listened to him but then again he betrayed me, again. I'm not sure how I will ever be able to forgive him... them for this. I'm starting to lose count on how many times they've betrayed me before and it's getting rather annoying.

I hate that my heart is always getting broken but this time they broke it beyond anything and the pieces are so small that I can't even see them anymore. Each time I try to put together my heart it is broken again and shattered. I don't think I can handle it anymore.

My chest and my heart is hurting so much, it's too much. It hurts and the pain in agony to me. They knew that they would hurt me and they did it anyway and for what... to capture my father... my disgusting father who is insane that is and not the father that I love.

I stand out of bed as morning has arrived even when all I want to do is lie here and never stand up again, it is much more welcoming than going out into the world and face the world which I don't want to. "That is a sad sight" A voice startles me to the point where I jump up.

Turning to face the voice to see my father sitting in a chair. What is he doing here? I thought he was taken away somewhere or something. "My dear daughter, I may not be able to fool you with deals and tricks but I can help you see the truth" He tells me and I shake my head at him.

"I don't want anything from you. Don't you get it? I don't want you in my life, nor or ever" I tell him. It is true. I want nothing to do with him. Not after what he has tried to do to me and tried to kill more times than I want to know but he has failed, each and every time.

"You're going to need me. Since after all everyone else has betrayed you. They don't care about you, not the way that I do" He says and I scoff at him. "Right, because trying to have me murdered counts for caring" I state and he rolls his eyes.

"Yes the past is in the past-" He begins. "You tried to kill me yesterday" I tell him and he looks stunned. "I apologize, now can I continue?" He asks but I shake my head. "You can continue on your way out before I call the police since I assume their missing a prisoner" I tell him.

I want him out of here as fast as possible, I don't want him here and I don't need him. Nor do I even want to know him. He stands up, good he's leaving. "If you don't want to hear me out then I will just have to make you!" He says harshly to me.

He takes out a gun from his pocket and I tense all up when I see it. I thought his gun was taken away from him? And how did he even get it? "Sit down!" He orders me and gestures for a seat. Slowly I walk over to that with my hands up in the air.

If I didn't already know it before I would say that he's insane but I already knew that. I sit down on the chair but I still keep my eye on the gun. "How did you get that?" I ask or more like blurt out of me before I even have the chance to stop myself from speaking.

He chuckles as he takes a seat once more. "I may not have money but I do have friends in odd places" He tells me and I think it means that he has someone on the inside of the police and that is never a good thing. Perhaps that is how he has never been arrested for the things that he has done.

"Now, dear daughter. You will bring the money to me and I will give you something in return" He tells me. I roll my eyes as all he thinks about is that money, my money. Why doesn't he just marry a rich heiress, again to eat money if he wants it so badly? "And what is that?" I ask him.

"Your life" He answers. "You will still have your life and you will never have to see me again" He tells me but. Get the feeling that he's lying about that because if I give him money he will just want more from me and the story will never end. "Put down the gun and maybe we can negotiate" I tell him.

Trying to act cool and calm when there is a gun pointed at my face and can kill me within a blink of an eye. However I don't think he will kill me before he has the money, after? I'm not sure what he will do but I get the feeling that I don't want to find out about that.

"I don't think you're in any position to negotiate with me, little girl" He speaks. His voice is so dark and twisted like always but this time I truly think he's starting to lose his mind and that frightens me more than anything right about now.

"Actually I am. If I give you the money then you will just kill me and be over with it, you'll have the money and you don't need me anymore" I speak and he rolls his eyes but the evil look in them never disappears and I gulp when I stare into his eyes.

"That is a thought that I like" He tells me but doesn't say anything other than that. He still has the gun loaded and ready to shoot at me at any given second that he likes. "The money. Now!" He orders me and I jump up from the harsh tone and him yelling at me.

There is so much evil in his eyes and it frightens me to know that this is the man that I share half my genes with that maybe I am just as insane as he is but I can't think that now, not while there is a gun pointed at me. "I can't give you the money that you want" I tell him.

He is someone that must know how this works. None of this works that way. I can't just give him that much cash without raising suspicion and besides the bank would never allow me to. And I'm pretty I can't explain to the bank the situation.

"You can and you will or someone will just have to clean up your splattered brain on the walls" He says and I gulp the way that his voice becomes something that I don't even recognize. The tears are streaming down my face when he says that and I can barely keep calm.

If this is the last moments of my life I would rather die knowing that I fought back rather than live and know that I gave in to his demands. "The only thing that will need cleaning is your blood" A voice says behind him and we both look to see her.

Cathryn, my aunt standing there with a gun in her hand. I look at her with shock and I don't know how she got out of jail but she doesn't look like she came there. She is actually wearing normal clothes. "Ah... my darling sister. How pathetic" He speaks as he turns to face her.

His gun now pointed at her as her gun is pointed at him. I have a feeling that at least one of us will make it out alive. If he shoots her then he will shoot me and we both die but if she shoots him then we will be free. However, that thought doesn't stop the fear inside me from running around everywhere.

I'm frozen to the spot in the chair and I can barely even move at all as I watch them. "I thought you were in jail" He says to her and she rolls her eyes as she giggles at him and I'm rather confused at what is going on here but I'm also someone interested in it, though also frightened.

"I was never in jail, not truly. I could've left any time I wanted. The only reason I stayed was to not frighten her" She says and gestures for me but he doesn't look at me but her eyes have found mine. I can tell that she is asking me if I was all right through her eyes and I slowly nod my head and she faces her brother once again.

She walks over to him, unafraid of the gun he holds in his hand. Her gun is pointed directly at his head while his at her heart. "Don't take another step" He says and I think we both can sense the fear in his voice. He fears her... for what she is? Who she is?

I don't know but that fear will be his downfall, that I do know but at what cost? She scoffs at him. "You won't shoot me, just like you didn't shoot me in father's office" She speaks and while I'm confused I can tell that he's afraid. I don't know what they're speaking about but I get the feeling that I'm about to find out.

"Father always believed me to be stronger than you, brother. However, you have always been like him, his insanity is now yours" She says and circles around him and he turns around and now they are in front of me but facing one another.

He smirks at her. I can see how his hand is shaking and I don't think he will shoot her. "Let's finish this, once and for all. Like in father's office" He speaks. A tear slips down from my eye as I start to piece together the truth in what they're saying and I was right before.

One of them is going to die today and that frightens me not only because that I might be in danger if he kills her but I can't stand any more death. Though, I've never seen death before. Or I don't think so but now I'm about to see it. "Once and for all" She repeats.

Their faces harden as they still have guns pointed at their faces and I wonder what will happen now but I also wonder if something else is about to take place and I pray for that to happen. Like I want someone to burst through the doors right now and save us, and everyone would live to see another day.

"You know what I liked most about father's office, it was the blue vase near the chair. It was an absolute masterpiece" She speaks and for a moment I could see her fingers point at me and I'm confused until he words process and i look beside the chair to see a blue vase there.

"I don't recall a blue vase, sister, perhaps it is you who has fallen into insanity" My father speaks. I take a deep breath before I make sure he's not watching me as I take the vase up with both my hands and stand up. "Such as shame, really. That it broke" She speaks and she winks at me behind him.

I then put the vase as high as I possibly can over my head and then throw it as hard as I can into his head where is shatters over his head. As soon as I've done that a shot rings through the room, so loud and so cruel that I close my eyes and let out a scream.
