Chapter 86
As we walk around the house, I hear something, like someone hitting the wooden house from the inside.
"That's Scott!" Vic says and we call his name louder.
"I'm in here!" he yells and we find ourselves directly opposite where he is. Vic pours water on that part of the house and I'm guaranteed that no fire will get to me. He goes back to fetch another bucket of water.
"Scott, hold on a second, I'll be right back," I yell and move to get a huge rock I spotted nearby
"Hurry up! We don't have much time in here!" he yells.
Once I have firmly held the rock, I throw it on the wooden wall, using all my strength. Scott is also kicking from the inside.
When Vic comes back he puts the bucket down.
"Move over!" he orders and I step back, he kicks the wood hard. Scott kicks on his side, Vic kicks again and the cycle continues until Kye walks up to us and helps Vic. Minutes later, the wall looks weak, Wren is even helping.
"Scott!" I shout, there's silence.
"Scott, move out of the way, we're about to kick it down!" Vic yells.
Silence.
Then he coughs from inside and I sigh heavily. My entire body trembles. The smoke is making him weaker.
"Hurry!" he says.
"Okay, guys... On three. One, two, three... Kick!" and the four of us kick the wood and it falls with a cracking sound to the ground, bringing up nothing but a huge cloud of smoke and dust.
"Over there, on the bed!" Wren points and we all move quickly to get where they are, the fire is still burning things down mercilessly. Kye and Vic carry Scott and Wren and I carry Kyrah.
She's fucking heavy! Even though she doesn't look like it.
Outside, Red is waiting for us, he hasn't sat down since we arrived here, we rest for a few minutes after I've given Kyrah CPR. Scott takes a few minutes to recover. When Kyrah breathes properly I thank God, and then, Red leads the way back to the cabin, this time not too fast.
It's dark as we go through the woods and when Scott gains his strength, the only thing that comes out of his mouth is her name.
"Kyrah," he whispers and both Kye and Vic stop.
"She's okay, we're heading back to the cabin," Vic informs him.
"I think I can walk by myself now," Scott says and they let go of him.
"We'll help you carry Kyrah," Kye offers help.
"I can do it," Scott says and carries her into his arms like she weighs a gram.
When we finally arrive at the cabin, Scott places her on one of the couches and sits by her side. The ropes have bruised her wrists, they're red, she must have been struggling to get away.
"I'm calling my uncle, he's a doctor, he'll know what to do," Kye says, dialing a number on his phone as he heads to the kitchen.
I can see the worry in Scott's eyes, his muscles are tense and he doesn't want to move his eyes away from her.
"How's her breathing?" I ask.
"Steady now," he says then hesitates, "I shouldn't have left her, it's my fault, Roxy." He caresses her cheek with his thumb.
"Don't blame yourself. Stop that," I tell him, patting his shoulder.
Kye walks back and informs us his uncle is on his way.
"He'll be here in an hour," he says and I look at the time, it's 2am.
As we wait, I notice Red is lying next to Axel and to keep my mind off the dragging time, I decide to feed them. Axel refuses to eat but takes some water, Red eats all his food and drinks his water and stays close to Axel.
"They're pretty close," Kye says as he walks towards me.
"I can see that, Red looks worried," I say, petting Axel.
"Yeah. They take care of each other, ever since Axel was born," Kye says and I'm surprised.
"Where's the mother?" I ask.
"She got sick and died, a long time ago."
"Oh... You think Kyrah is going to be okay?" I ask.
"Yeah, I can see she's a fighter. Let's just hope for the best," he says.
Wren is fast asleep on the couch and Vic is fighting to stay awake. Scott... Well he hasn't moved much, or said much either.
I sigh.
Why did someone do that to Kyrah? And who–
"Sabrina," I hiss.
"What?" Kye asks then I stand up from where I was kneeling next to Axel and Red.
"Sabrina, she's the only one insane enough to do such a thing–"
"Whoah! Slow down, are you sure?" Kye asks.
"Positive, she's been after Kyrah so many times, Kye!" I say.
"She even tried to kill Kyrah that very same day you were at the hospital," Scott adds and I turn to face him. "It could be her. We just have to wait for Kyrah to wake up."
"I swear if she's the one behind all of this, I'm gonna skin her alive and tear her apart with my bare hands, limb by limb," I hiss through gritted teeth.
I want to punch someone's face right now, I want to pull Sabrina's hair off her head and slam her into a wall and choke the fucking life out of her!
"Screw that bitch!" I say and head upstairs to take a shower. I need to calm down and make myself busy before Kye's uncle gets here.
"Wait till I get my hands on her!" I murmur as I walk upstairs.
