Chapter 16
Scar stares out of the window as she cleans the dishes, unaware of the fact that she has been rubbing the same plate again and again with soap.
Cherry gets in the kitchen to find her like that, so he walks to her side and raises a brow. Looking out he tries to see what she is looking at to find nothing. Grabbing an apple he chews watching her carefully.
"Something bothering you?" he asks getting her attention
"Ho..." she yelps as the plate slips from her hand but before it crashes Cherry catches it
"Wow, that was amazing" she smiles holding it again
"Years and years of practice" Cherry states proudly
"Cherry how long have you been doing this?" she asks him curious as she once again starts cleaning
"As long as I can remember" he grins
"Do you love doing it?" she asks him
"Nope, he hates it more than anything. He says we are not jokers but something more, much more important than that but you love when we dress up like that so" Alex explains as he enters the kitchen and jumps on the counter nipping an apple as well
"Can I ask you something?" she hesitates
"Of course you can" Cherry smiles at her
"Is there any wolves around in here?" she asks them
Cherry stiffens hearing it while Alex jumps in excitement.
"Do you want to see them?" Alex asks holding her hands
"No, I was just curious" she explains
"You don't have to worry about it, not all wolves are bad Scar. Some of us are really good and friendly" he grins
"Okay..." she smiles lightly
"Alex go help Alice to bring grocery in" Cherry orders before dragging Scar with him
"Where are we going?" Scar asks as he keeps walking before they end up in the backyard of the house
"Are you trying to say something or is something bothering you Scar?" he asks
"What?"
"I have been watching you; you aren't same for few days. I have found many times you stare in space like you are trying to figure something out or like trying to make sense of something" he states
"Well...it's just...I just miss my Papa that's it" she tries to assure him
"If you say so" Cherry states with furrowed eyes before leaving her
*******
After the encounter with Cherry Scar tries to keep all the thoughts of what was happening for the past few days away and try to be as cheerful as she can and having a good time with them.
Like every night the triplet once again barge in her room to sleep on the bed. She smiles as she pulls the sheet over Alex's body and slowly without kicking Cheery she jumps off the bed.
She takes breathe of relief as gets out of the room and walks in the kitchen to get some water. For some reason she can't fall asleep right now.
Just as she gulps the water the back door of the house opens up, she slowly goes to check if it was some bugler or anything.
Hearing a giggle she straightens up knowing whose giggle is that.
"Don't make any sound else daddy will punish us all" the girl whispers
The girl along with the three pups makes their way in the house.
"So, this is my room. Don't touch anything. Now go on sleep you all it's less cold in here but you all need to wake up early and get out before daddy finds okay" she instructs them before she jumps on her bed and sleeps
"Al" the girl yelps as the brown wolf jumps on the bed and snuggles to her and one by one other too joins her in the bed.
The girl huffs and puffs before giggling once again closing her mouth as she closes her eyes with them surrounding her.
Scar watches the scenery change and instead of the three wolves and the girl she finds Alex, Cherry and Alice in the exact same position the pups and the girls slept.
But this time it isn't the girl but she herself in the girl's place. Seeing them asleep in the position Scar smiles realizing how they have made a barrier surrounding her as if even in their sleep they are protecting her.
Walking into the room Scar kisses all of their foreheads before walking out once again. Taking a blanket out Scar lies on the couch wanting to be alone for a while to clear her head and before she knows she falls asleep.
*******
"Rain" Scar calls as she opens her eyes
"I'm right here" he speaks
"I was hoping to find you here" she smiles pecking his on the cheek
"Well good thing I'm here than huh?" he teases her
She nods before hugging him tightly as she buries her head on his chest.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Ad asks feeling his distress
"Nothing I just missed you" she answers
Not believing her Ad pulls her face away from his chest and holds her chin so she can look at him.
"What is it?" he asks again
"Why did you send me back? We weren't divorcing for my Papa right? You lied to me about divorce" she accuses him
"No, I didn't" Ad explains
"Yes you did, you said..."
"I said I didn't want to stay married to you and that you should go back to your father and for that we need to divorce. It was true at the time right? Divorce means not staying married and you going back to your father's house"
"But, but...if we divorced I can never be with you. I want to; I want to stay married to you. I love being married to you, I don't want to marry anyone else" she panics
"Hey, hey, look at me, no panicking or stressing okay, I want you to relax. That's it breathe and relax. That's my girl...
I did ask you if what you want but you said you will do what I want and I wanted a divorce..."
"But I didn't know what divorce was" she shouts interrupting him
"Okay, well you should have asked before agreeing with me then" he states amused at her expression
"Well now I know what it is and I don't want that. I don't like that"
"So what do you want?" he asks serious
"I want to be with you like this, happy and you not being mad at me. For, forever" she confesses
"Then we will be like this happy and me not being mad at you, for, forever" he promises
"That's a relief" she smiles
"Anything else while we are at it" he teases her and she nods in all her seriousness
"Can we, um...you know do what we did back in barn" she blushes
"Feeding the horse?"
"No, no, not that...you know, what we did" she bites her lips not knowing how to say it
"No I don't know, what we did baby"
"That...every married person does that"
"Fight?" he asks
"No, ah...sex" she whispers in his ear
"What?"
"Rain that, we did being naked" she whines
"Ah bathing. You want to take a shower now"
"No, not that..." she shakes her head in frustration
Ad laughs as he pinches both her cheeks
"Oh my baby, we will do it as much as we can and it's called making love if you can't say the word sex"
"Yes that" she shouts excitedly making him laugh some more
"Your wish is my command. So, I take it you really enjoyed huh?" Ad grins pecking her nose as she blushes adorably
"I want it to be like this with us all the time" Scar confesses as she plays with his fingers
Ad sighs hugging her tight to him as he buries his head in her hair.
"I promise, it will be much more than this" he murmurs
Ad sighs before pulling away from her; he strokes her cheeks lightly as she kisses his palm and smile.
"I will see you later" he whispers making her furrow her brows
"Ho..." she starts
"It's time to wake up" he states as he kisses her forehead
*******
Scar blinks few times as she opens her eyes and looks around the room, stretching her arms above her head she yawns.
"Scar" Alex shrill voice makes her winch
"Oh my god, Scar you are alive. Where did you went I was so worried when I didn't see your face first thing in the morning" Alex cries hugging her tight as she tries to push him away from her but can't
"You are killing her" Alice scolds him before snatching her away from him and checking Scar everywhere
"Are you alright? Why did you leave us alone in the bed?" she asks worried
"I came out to get water and then slept here sorry to make you worried" she apologizes feeling bad
"Scar freshen up we are going to shopping" Cherry voice cut in
"Shopping, yay, let's go Scar it will be...."
"Just Scar and me" Cherry informs interrupting Alex
"Why do you always get to spend time with her and not me?" Alex pouts stomping past his brother
Scar looks at Cheery a bit worried but he just leaves the room.
*******
Scar keeps silent as they both walk to the near grocery store. Cherry walks besides her in silence as well.
She fidgets as he pass her the trolley and she walks behind him as he without a word take items out and put inside.
"I know you aren't happy being with us, I can see it you just want to leave us and go back" Cherry speaks
"No..." Scar goes to say something but he stops her
"I'm not done yet. I know it is hard for you to be living with us; I mean we are practically strangers, right...
You don't remember a shit about anyone of us, but we do every single thing. We won't stop you if you want to go back Scar but we won't be the one to drop you off as well" Cherry states before dragging the trolley himself to the counter.
After paying they both walk back home with a bag of grocery in each hand. They stop in front of a park.
Cherry takes the bags from her hand and puts it on the park bench before pushing her away a bit.
"Go" he orders
"Ho..." Scar looks at him in confusion
"Go home Scar I know you don't want to live with us. So, I'm letting you go just go. Don't worry about Alex and Alice I will handle them...
We will never bother you ever again, you are free from us. So, go, go home to your Papa. I know you miss him terribly" with that Cherry hands her some money and walks away with the bags in his hands
*******
"Cherry, what did you got for me?" Alex grins as he sees his brother getting inside of the house
"Where's Scar?" Alice asks as she helps him with the bag
When Cherry doesn't say anything they both look at him waiting for him to answer. And finally he gives in.
"She is gone"
"What?"
"She wanted to go back to her father's house so I let her go"
"No, you are lying, you can't do that. Tell him Alice he can't do that. Bring her back Cherry" Alex shouts
"She is never coming back"
"I will go and bring her back" Alex states as he makes his way to the door but Cherry stops him
"No one is bringing her back in here, she is never coming back and I promised we will never bother her. So stop this" Cherry shouts at his brother
"You have no right to make decision for all of us. I will go and bring her back here. She will come back I know she will...
She loves us, I know she does, she promised she will always be with us, she made a promise we will never be apart...
Alice tell him she promised us, she...she can't leave us like this" Alex sobs fighting with Cherry to let him go
Alice bites her lips so she don't cry as she pulls Alex away from Cherry's grasps as takes him inside their room.
Cherry rubs his face as he opens the fridge and stock the food in there, he tries to distract himself by doing something but when he can't stop the shake of his hands he hits the wall.
And just like that he broke down in a mess as sob erupts from inside him.
Scar kneels down and holds Cherry in her arms as he cries.
"You shouldn't have hit the wall so hard, look what happened, you end up hurting yourself. You are such a baby" Scar giggles as she wipes his tears
"Scar" he whispers stunned
"That was mean of you to leave me all alone, good thing I followed you back here" she scolds him as she wipes the tears that stroll more from his eyes
"You're back"
"Of course I'm you silly. I did promise I won't leave you all here didn't I?" she smiles before kissing his forehead
"You don't always have to be the tough one, I will always look out for you and it's okay to cry. Also you were wrong I do remember if not everything but the important stuff about you all" she smiles
"Scar" Alex shouts as she storms her way and carries her up in swing around
"You are back; see I told you she loves us. She will never leave us" he grins looking at Cherry
"You're back" Alice chokes as she pushes Alex away and wraps herself to Scar
"Don't leave us again no matter what Scar" she whispers as she cries in her arms.
"So sorry, I made you all worried. Okay let's have something to eat I'm starve" she announces making them all shuts in unison
"Scar...Scar let's go to the park, I heard there is going to be a little show in there" Alex asks as they all eat their food
"Yeah let's go it will be so fun" Alice agrees
"Okay then, we will go, right Cherry" she asks looking at him and he nods with a smile
*******
"It'll be cold out there Scar, so you have to be warm" Alex states as he wraps a muffler around her neck
"You are planning to kill her or something?" Alice scolds him before loosening the muffler a bit
"Thank you" Scar croaks rubbing her neck
"Sorry" Alex pouts before dragging her out of the room
All of them make their way to the park where it is a bit crowded, so Cherry asks all of them to stay together.
Scar smiles as she looks around the park reminding her the time she went at the carnival with Enzo and Erika.
"It's so pretty" Alice awes as she sees all the lighting done
"Yes, it is" Scar nods
Walking inside they all laugh and have fun as they pass by different stalls and taste all the food.
"Hey, look magic" Alex pulls Scar near the crowd and takes a seat
Scar looks in awe as the man takes out a rabbit from the hat and Scar claps her hands in excitement
"Pssh, Cherry can take out a wolf from the hat" Alex comments not impressed
"Ho...really, you need to show me that then" she smiles at Cherry who smiles back nodding
"Now ladies and gentleman I will show you something you have never seen in your entire life" the magician states as they bring a box out
"Now I need a volunteer for this trick" he shouts looking at the crowd
Everyone looks at his way in awe while Alex just huffs and puffs before getting up.
"I will volunteer let's see how good you are" he announces before walking to the stage
Scar claps her hands as Alex walks up the stage, while Cherry and Alice shakes their head before getting up.
"Scar, wait us here okay don't go anywhere. This trouble maker is asking for a spank" Cherry sighs as he too walks on the stage with Alice on tow
Scar looks at them confused as they drag Alex away from the stage only for him to fight them back. She laughs as Cherry runs after him and Alex tries to dug him dropping the magician's things everywhere on the floor and throwing some of his props on Cherry.
Scar stops laughing as she sees something from the corner of her eyes. Standing up she tries to see what or who it was when she sees the girl once again her brows furrows before she once again follow the girl.
Scar runs after the girl as she can't keep up with her before she ends up in some part of the park she didn't knew. She looks around to search the girl but can't find her, trying to go back she looks around only to find out she is lost.
"Scar" she calls for the girl
When no reply comes she moves more inside the park, she can't see anything as that part of the park is filled with darkness. Trying to figure out a way out of there she focuses on the sound of the music blaring at the park but instead of getting out she goes deeper and deeper and end up being in a jungle.
She scolds herself for her stupidity before sitting on ground as her legs hurt. She wraps the jacket tightly as the winds blows before walking around. The only hope she has is that the triplet finds her.
Scar closes her mouth as she tries not to scream when she hears footstep, scared she hides in the bushes and look out to see who it was.
A scream leaves her mouth as she sees a man with an axe with a murderous glimpse in his eyes. He smiles sickening at her.
"Found you, Scar" he grins
Scar gets up from behind the bushes as she runs away from the mad man.
"Run Scar run, but I will catch you" he laughs
Scar stumbles on her heels and lands hard on the ground that takes her breathe, she tries to hide or run away from the man but can't as she has sprained her leg.
Biting her lips as the pain is unbearable; Scar gets up before dragging herself up away from the man.
"Please, please, please" she prays for someone to come seek her as she keeps running
"Scar, yoo-hoo, where are you Scar"
She jumps as she hears the sound, looking around she tries to find a place to hide. Stumbling on her feet she keeps moving forgetting the pain.
She keeps praying someone would come and help her, she scans around to see some light or something so she can know where she is going but all she find is darkness.
Feeling lost Scar stops running before sitting under a tree, she bites her lips again as she touches her foot and winches.
Sighing, she pulls her shoe out and holds her leg before putting her shoe again and standing to keep going, she doesn't want to get caught by that creep.
Just as she stands up and looks straight she finds someone standing in front of her. The man in front holds her.
"Scar, finally found you" he breathes
And just like that a blood curling scream leaves from her.
