4 years later.
Fiona's pov
It's been 4 years since I've been taken from my life. I don't even know if mom and the police are still searching for me or they have given up already? Since we have shifted here I'm never left alone. Either Jax or Daniel keep eye on me. 'For safety reasons'. Even right now Daniel is keeping an eye on me while I read a book.
I shift a little to be more comfortable and the pain in my stomach just increased and I feel wetness around the wound. I lift up my shirt and wince. "Is it still hurting? " Daniel asked sitting on the the opposite sofa. " Yes" I whispered sitting up straight a bit in hopes of lessening the pain.
"Let me see." He said getting up and squatting in front of me. Daniel has been acting a lot weird lately more protective of me and lot hostile towards Amelia. Too much to the point that Jax and Daniel almost got in a fight. But Daniel explained that he sees me as a sister and nothing else.
" The stitches opened again. Let me bring the first aid." He said getting up and going towards the bathroom down the hall. Jax had gone to work and it was just me ,Daniel and Amelia at the house. On cue Amelia came and sat where Daniel was sitting. Just like Daniel she too had become much hostile and angry. "How are you? Is the wound still hurting? " She asked in fake concern. She quickly sneered at me." Don't think that just because of injury I'll stop making your life hell. I didn't get you this time. But eventually I will. So watch your back." She said walking towards me and patting my cheek a bit harshly. "BACK AWAY AMELIA."Â Jax said coming into the room. He still had his work bag with him. " Your home early." Amelia said trying to hide her fear but failing miserably and backing up.
"Did you finish the job?" Daniel spoke coming in the room with the first aid kit. "Yup,make sure you get the payment." Jax said sitting beside me." You also need to keep a close eye on your wife. She was threatening Fio just now. " Jax warned Amelia indirectly. "I'll deal with her later." Daniel sat where he was sitting before and began treating the wound. "Is it hurting again?" Jax asked , anger leaving his tone, totally calm as if coaxing a child. If I saw it when I first met him I would have freaked out but now I'm used to the sudden mood change in both the males.
" All done. You should rest now. Jax take her to bed."Daniel said packing the first aid. " I'll tell the man to pay up now."
"Wait I'm hungry. Can one of you please cook something? " Amelia spoke in timid voice. Something had happened to her, she had lost all the confidence and strength she had in her . Instead she became a fearful girl. And she blamed it all on me. Hence her becoming more and more hostile towards me as time passed.
"I'm busy right now. " Daniel dismissed her while getting ready to go out. Him and Jax take turns while working. What work, I don't have a clue. "If this witch asked you would have made it in a breath. And now I'm asking you ,your suddenly busy. You" she spat while pointing at me." You are the reason everything had messed up, messing with their minds. You should go die somewhere." Amelia was panting after the outburst. Everything was silent. So silent you could actually hear the waterfall outside in a distance. The temperature around us suddenly dropped. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that. It just cane out. I was just hungry." Amelia cried.
"Jax take Fiona to bed. Make sure she sleeps and gets rest." Daniel said discarding his jacket. " Let's go Fio" Jax picked me up bridal style making sure he didn't distutb the would and not getting the shackles tied to my feet getting in a knot. Amelia's cries and the sound of shackles were the only sound heard. As soon as we reached our room. He placed me on bed and locked the door. "Lay down, Fiona." I laid down. I don't want both of them angry under one roof. It doesn't end well. He came back with a syringe in his hand.
" No. No Jax please. Not the injection. I'll sleep. Please." I pleaded him tears coming to my eyes." Shh,shhh, shhh I know. It'll not hurt. Just stay still." He said shushing me and giving me the damn injection. And I was out.
Third pov
"You've crossed the line now. Amelia I've been patient with you for 4 years now. 4 years. Even after you cheated on me. I let you go ,only breaking your leg. Not killing you. But now you are ready to kill Fiona. She's your brother's love. First you betray me and now you are ready to BETRAY YOUR BROTHER."Â Daniel spoke in a taunting tone. His voice increasing as he spoke. His each step more threatening than first.
Amelia so wanted to run. But she knew better , if she tried to run away. The hits will only worsen. Daniel held her arm in a tight grip and dragged her in the basement.
Jax came inside the hall and sat down on sofa reading the book his love was reading a few minutes ago before Amelia messed it up.
After an hour
Daniel returned to the living room and sat beside Jax. Both were quiet for a while. " I killed her." Daniel spoke. His voice blank. Devoid of any emotion. Jax kept quiet for a while." How are you feeling? "
Jax didn't like Amelia when he knew about the affair. But kept quiet for Daniel's sake. But when she stabbed Fiona last week. He himself wanted to kill her. But again restraint himself. So he was quite relieved when he knew that Amelia's dead.
"Like I've been relieved of a burden. I don't feel sad or heartbroken. " He sighed a long a sigh ."Guess we stopped loving each other at some point before all this." He looked at Jax and spoke "Don't make the same mistake I did. Keep your love alive Jacky." Daniel said patting Jax's back.
"Let's bury her before Fiona wakes up."
Both took the body and placed it in a body bag. And cleaned the basement. They loaded the bag in the truck and went deep in the jungle to bury it.
" I think that should do it." Jax said resting his hand on the shovel. "Hmm". They buried her body and concealed it." Let's go before someone sees us." Daniel said. " Didn't you say this area was safe?" Jax asked. He knew it was safe. But he just wanted to cheer him up. "Better safe than sorry. Let's go before your girlfriend wakes up." Daniel said walking towards thier car. " Nah, don't worry I've given her sedatives."
Unbeknownst to them a man had watched the whole ordeal. And even recorded it. He was an investigator of the multiple murder and missing cases near town. He just wanted to take a walk to clear his mind. And also not to scream at their idiotic behaviour of his comrades. He didn't even think he would catch the crime in action.
But he couldn't just catch them. He had to be patient. According to what he heard there was another person trapped with them. He wasn't going to blow this off because of his stupidness. He wasn't going to get one more person die because of his foolishness. He called one of his worker.
" I found out who kidnapped and killed those people. I found them. They are hiding in the forest behind the city. They are two possibly more, armed and there seems to be a hostage as well. Bring your men and tell them to silence their sirens. Don't want to tip them off. I'm sending you my gps. Be quick.," He spoke and started following tge the truck trail.
Fiona's pov
There was so much noise. It hurts my head. Make it stop. I open my eyes. I'm still in the bedroom. But the difference is there are blue and red light shinning on the ceiling. What? What's going on? Everything's blurry. Going in and out of focus. Bloody syringe.
"Surrender yourself. You can't escape now. --You are surrounded." A voice shouted from somewhere within the house. I sat up after 4 tries. My vision was clearing up. I went near the window to look what's happening. Outside were many police officers.
They found me. I'll be definitely get saved now. I started banging on the window. Trying to get their attention. One of them did. He informed his companions and they looked too. One of them said something to other and they nodded at each other. The one who looked at me and motioned to stay quiet and open the window. I did as they said and immediately one of the police officer came through the window.
"Hi, I'm inspector Milo. Who are you? "He spoke in hushed tone. Still near the window. Raising his hands to show he meant no harm.
" I'm Fiona. Fiona Jones I was kidnapped 4 years back. Please help me. Get me out of here." I started crying. " It's ok. We are here to help. Let's get you out the window. You'll be safe in the car. Are there any other hostage like you? "
"No"I said trying to calm myself." Okay good, let's get you out first."
" I can't. The shackles." I cried. He looked at the chains and muttered bastards inder his breath. He didn't meant me to hear it but I still heard it. He went near where the chain was installed and tried to pry it off.
" The victim is chained to a wall. I'm gonna saw it off make sure you keep them occupied. And get me a saw, it is near where the staircase was." He spoke in the walky.
" Don't worry we'll get you out. Are you injured anywhere else?" He asked trying to keep me calm. Before I could answer many other officers came through the window. One of them handed the saw to Milo while others were near the door trying to pick the lock.
"Now" one of them ordered and Milo started the saw and began cutting the chain. As soon as it started there was various shouting downstairs and some bullets were firing. When I looked up only 1 officer was near the door. Others had opened it and went downstairs I assumed.
In no time the chain came off. The gunshots stopped. Milo and the other guards took me out of the house. While going out I saw blood on the living floor and somebody's feet. I came outside. After 4 years I'm finally free. I started crying. I don't remember much after that.
I must have blacked out along the journey. When I woke up I was in a hospital. Various machines were attached to me. " Hey your awake." Milo said. He was sitting on a chair near me. He had a file in his hands. " Please tell me I escaped that this isn't a dream."
Milo smiled warmly at me." It isn't. Your safe. They won't be able to hurt you again. We've also called your mother. She'll be here in approximately 3 hours. Till then try to rest". He spoke in hushed tone.
I laid my head back on the pillow and drifted off to sleep. I knew that the body I saw were of my capturers . They were not coming back again. They are dead. I would finally go home. I would finally be free.
