What she wanted

He took long strides in the dark room, she couldn't see anything else except the heavy boots he wore.
She was thrown over his shoulders.
Her tiny hands and feet was bonded. Still yet she held tightly to a small pink teddy bear. Like her life saver
Standing in front of a small cage, he hurled her into it, took a nail and an hammer. And began hitting the nail into the wood.
Caging her completely.

"Be good little girl, it's not gonna hurt you "
She opened her eyes fearfully and saw the small dim eyes watching her under those uncomfortable gaze, on his both cheek was a deep cut which was still appears to be newly cut.
"Let me out please "

"I can't do that, be good if you wanna live "
"Please, i can't stay here"
“I want to meet my daddy. I want to go back home.”
She whimpered but his back was already against her. He took a black cloth and cover the cage with it.
"Don't ever forget the name Lucas....”
“Am scared “
“You ought to be, listen little girl, I only follow instructions “
He poked his hands into her eyes via the black cloth..

“Aargh!!”

"Wake up, Maeve, wake up, c’mon will you?”
She jerk up, gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?"
She shakes her head severally. Still trying to get her breath.
“What’s wrong, you can tell me, am here for you Maeve “
“It was a bit of my memory coming back” she breathed out.
“What’s was it about “
She exhaled.
Wrapping her hands over herself.
“It was someone, maybe Lucas. Am not so sure”
"What did he do?"

"He caged a little girl and injected her, move her over to his basement after a couple of months, stripped her off her clothes, for years she was without any.
And he kept injecting her every single day, so she would forget who she was, who she's gonna be and made her into something he wants.
A demon”
Her fist tighten into a ball.
"Why they had to make her suffer for years, made her miserable.
Just why?

All she ever wanted was to be human "
“You’ve been through a lot Maeve, am really sorry for all the pains you’ve been through”
Dixon pulled her into a hug. Her eyes got wet but not with tears but blood, she wiped them off quickly so he didn't get to see it.
"Lucas was a very respected paranormal researcher, never knew he could do such a thing as you said and same with Anika, heard she's been missing ever since Lucas death"
"She better keeps on hiding, I don't want to see her again, I might finish what I started "
She sniffed.

"I don't want to lie to you Dixon,
I killed Lucas in a very horrible way, just like the corpse you saw, it wasn’t intentional at first I had felt so guilty and scared of what I did at that time but I did what was right. Someone like he doesn't deserve to life.”
Dixon didn't know what to say at the moment so he kept mute and just watched her for a while.
Then pulled her into a hug again.
"It's okay Maeve "

He felt her hugged him back.
"Come on we have a long day today "
He disengage from the hug.
"Where are we going?"
"You will know when we get here. I made lunch already, come on"
Maeve nodded, standing up from the bed.
"Ain't you gonna ask me?"
"What?"

She paused her lips, staring down at her toes, he almost laughed at her but restrained himself.
He held her chin, lifting them so see could look at him.
"As long as you remain Maeve, I'll always be right beside you”
She hugged him at once.
He felt the blush, creeping up on his cheeks.
And didn't hesitate to hug her back.
“I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

She nodded and pulled away from him. And watched him. Leave the room. With a smile on his face.
He’s been trying to talk to Bruce for an hour now, and his phone keeps on ringing without he picking up the call. He was worried what's wrong with him, why wasn't he picking his calls, he was making him worried.
“Why are you looking so tense?”
“Its Bruce, he isn't picking his calls.”
“Maybe he isn't with his phone. Dropped it somewhere or something.”
“It isn't like him. He's always with his phone. Could something had happened to him.”
“Nothing would happen.” she ensure him, taking a seat beside him.
He smiled and kissed her cheek. And took her hands in his.
He kissed it.
She placed her head on his shoulders.
“I’m sure he's fine.”
“I hope so.”

He was standing, facing the wall, a man was standing in front of a mirror, having similar figures with that of a familiar man they knew, appealing shaving cream to his face. Behind his thin lips was a smile, a bad at that. He was waiting for orders, let him say the words, huge with hefty muscle, the only significant thing on him was a cut on his both cheeks with was appear to be an old scar.
The man in front of the mirror crossed his hands at his back, he was near yet his voice sound so distant.
"He has left home right?"
"Yes boss. We already have men, stalking him. I would give them the others now to pursuit him. And not let him out of sight.”
"You Go after him, make sure he call his brother before attacking him. Am sure he's definitely gonna call him"
"Alright boss"
"Then you know what to do to Bruce and his brother, you did it before so it will be a lot more easier since the fear is still in there.
"And this time around I want one of them dead, be it Dixon or Bruce. One mustn't live.”
He smiled wryly.
“Albert is going through a lot now, just a little tough and he's gonna fall. Dead.”
He chuckled.
“You’re already ruin Albert. And there's no one to save you or your sons. Ha-ha.”
