CHAPTER NINE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Once we got between the middle of the beach, Colby placed down the cooler.
"Right here should be good," I passed him the blanket and moved out of the way as he threw the blanket in the air and placed it down making a perfect square onto the sand.
I sat on the blanket while he started taking out the food and passing me a sandwich.
"It's strawberry jam, I hope you like it," He said with a smile as he sat beside me with his own jam sandwich.
I nodded while I unwrapped the saran wrap and ate slowly looking over the dark blue, green waves that crashed against the sand pulling everything back with it.
It was now dark and it was getting to the part I couldn't see.
I finished my sandwich and leaned over to get a drink but I fell onto his lap, which made him chuckle and picked up a can and opened it with a loud crack and passed it to me. "Thank you," I blushed while taking a sip of the fizzy liquid in the can.
"You're welcome," Colby sa

Colby's P.O.V I smoothed down her hair and kissed the top of her head as she cried, I know she's scared and I don't blame her, this isn't the kind of life she deserves. I don't think she believed me when I told her I'd protect her, although I don't blame her she went through this abuse for eight-teen years. From the time she was kidnapped and even more now, I need to get her out of here, and I'm going to do it tonight. Her tears became only sniffles, and soon she became silent and snoring softly. I held her tighter to me, careful not to hurt her bruises or scratches that my father, not that stranger, had done to her. He did nothing to earn that title other then have sex with my motherand the only reason he was happy about me so I could take his place in all his crap. I refuse, I refuse to be a part of his criminal acts, I refuse to be a part of him, and I refuse to be him. My children won't be treated the

Chloe’s P.O.V I screamed for help over and over again until I lost my voice, no one showed up until the very last second. “Hey, are you alright down there?” A silhouette of a man stood against the rising sun and for a minute I thought he was a god. “Please, please help me with my fiance, he got shot please?” I doubled over Colby’s body. “Oh my god,” He rushed towards us; he had short white hair and eyeglasses. He helped me pick him up and carry him out of the alley way. “My car is right down here miss, I can drive the two of you to the hospital,” He says hurriedly. I sniffled and nodded my cheeks sticky and wet from tears, come on Chloe you have to be the strong one now. We carried him to the back seat of the man’s car and I sat with Colby with his head on my lap and I caressed his hair with tears still going down my face, my cheeks hurt from the salty tears on my cheeks, hiccuping the man sped our way to

Chloe’s P.O.V I stopped crying and sat by his bed playing with his hair and placed a kiss on his forehead gently, his chest and head wrapped in bandages and you can see where he got shot from the blood seeping through. “I’m sorry for putting you through all this,” I whispered. I truly was, why did she shoot him over something so stupid, and why not me instead? Why leave me alive if I was the one she wanted gone? I gritted my teeth. “I’ll kill them,” I whispered. “What?” I could tell she’s not believing what I’m saying. “I said I’ll kill them all,” I say louder. “I think we should just go to the police,” She says uncomfortably. “No, they took Colby away, remember,” I said, getting angrier. “Yes, but that was a misunderstanding,” She says, trying to explain. “I don’t care, I don’t want him in jail, I want them dead!” I yelled, all the nurses stared at us through the open door.

Chloe's P.O.V I pulled down the dress a bit so it covered my legs more, I looked around everyone else was wearing shorts and t-shirts, and this black dress is beginning to make me feel more and more different than everyone else. “Hey Hayley,” I shifted uncomfortably. “Yeah?” She wondered looking at other clothes through the windows. “Two things, one; why was that girl being mean to you, and two I feel like everyone is staring at me,” I questioned aggravated as someone catcalled me. “Okay, I’ll start with Fayne,” She said, sighing and I nodded. “A couple of years ago when I was seventeen, I had a crush on two people. One was a boy, and the other was Fayne, not how she is now but how she was before.” “Oh so you like boys and girls,” I stated rather than asked. “Something like that,” She grimaced a little. “What does that mean?” I continued. As we walked to the moving stairs following h

I picked off a blackberry and placed it in my mouth as the flavor exploded into a sweet, sour taste. It was delicious. “Enjoy yourself,” A beautiful voice asked, Chloe. “This place is beautiful,” I says in awe. Suddenly a child ran behind her and ran towards me and I had a strange pull to pick her up, placing her on my hip. I smiled at her and the words I never thought I would hear for a long time came out of her mouth. “Daddy, daddy come play with me,” The little girl laughed as she held herself up with her arms around my neck. Chloe laughed as she watched our so-called daughter be all over me, I looked from the little girl back at Chloe and I just realized she has a ring on her finger. Not the ring I gave her but a wedding band as well, I looked down at my own hand where there was a ring also. I put the little girl down and for the first time I had no idea what to say, suddenly there was a searing pain in my chest making me c

Chloe’s P.O.V I followed Hayley to the bathroom and she opened a closet taking out a big fluffy towel and a washcloth passing it to me. “Okay, shampoo, conditioner and body wash is all right here,” Hayley pointed to the side of the tub. “Okay, thank you I says placing the towel and the washcloth on the floor where the bath mat is sitting. “If you want to feel fancier, we have bath bombs and bath salt in that little basket here as well,” She says passing me a basket. “What’s a bath bomb, does it explode or something, because it sounds pretty dangerous,” I say half smiling. “Oh, well it sounds destructive, but it's actually very relaxing,” Hayley says with a smile, I started to laugh. “I bet it is,” I say jokingly. “Is that sarcasm I’m hearing from you?” Hayley asked slyly. “Maybe a little,” I say shrugging. “Okay well, I’ll let you take your shower just leave your clothes out in the hall an

I sighed and looked up at Chloe, she just shrugged and put addy in her high chair and gave her pasta, which I think is spaghetti. “Where did you learn to cook anyway,” I asked as she went and poured me a glass of water. “Your mother,” She replied placing the glass in front of me. “My mother, you mean we stayed in contact with them?” I asked confused. “They separated, but yes,” she answered with a small smile. “Mommy is uncle Xavier coming over to play today?” Addy asked kicking her feet back and forth in excitement. “Maybe, I’ll give them a call after dinner,” Chloe says as she got a sippy cup out of the drawer. “Uncle Xavier?” I mumbled under my breath. “Yes your baby brother,” She answered as she passed addy her sippy cup full of apple juice. My baby brother... oh shit I have forgotten all about him! I thought to myself. Chloe w

Back down the side streets, the street lights were still on and it was still very early, I yawned and leaned my head against the cool glass. I feel like I spend most of my days either held up in the house, or at work, or at home. Even though I’m ‘free’ now it’s not enjoyable without Colby. “Should we get something to eat or are you going to puke again?” Hayley questioned looking for the closest coffee shop. “I should be able to eat,” I says quietly. “Hey how about we go to the diner to-” Hayley started as she drove into the diner. “No!” I cut her off. “No I can’t go there,” I began to shake, I’m scared. I shut my eyes as my tears spilled down my cheeks. “Okay, okay no need to cry,” She says as we turned around to leave my eyes met Lucey’s. It’s too late, she seen me, but instead of calling Allistair she ran inside her face turned to panic and she

“That’s probably Jason’s fault.” Hayley replied, turning on her turning signal. “Why do you say that?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “Remember before we left when your mom said Jason ‘used’ to be in the military?” She reitterated. “Yeah, what about it?” I asked again, breathing out smoke. “You put a gun in that guy's hands, and all of a sudden he thinks nothing can touch him. He stopped listening to orders and began to be a risk to his platoon. His C.O decided it might be best if he was dismissed from his duties for the past year now, or, should I say, at least before we met you.” She says continuing to drive down the next street. “You’ve known me for eight months now, which means he must have been let go twelve months ago?” I say, keeping an eye on the cop car behind us. “Yeah, give or take that.” She nodded; her blue eyes kept flickering in her rearview mirror. “We are getting close to the grocery store, you think we will pull this off?” “Again, we don’t have much of a cho

Chloe’s P.O.VI made my way slowly out onto the balcony, I needed fresh air. I haven’t heard from Colby or Jason in hours, and I can’t call them again, but right now I don’t know if any of them are dead or alive.I leaned against the metal bars I could feel the staples in my abdomen pulling, I took a deep breath. I heard the balcony door open and close behind me. “I know there’s a lot of stress right now, but is there anything I can do to ease it a bit?”Hayley questioned, leaning sideways onto the balcony bars, I thought for a moment. “Actually, there mighty be. Call Hayden.” I say, nodding. “Wait, are you sure thats a good idea?” You could hear the doubt in her voice. “Regardless of him not listening to orders, he is still good with combat and a gun.” I said, taking a cigarette from the pack, lighting it between my lips inhaling the smoke.“It's just that, we haven't really heard from him since that night with Lucy.” Hayley trails off.“What are you talking about? He was supposed

“Are you insane?” I whispered to Jason urgently in my voice.“We gotta get rid of them.” He whispered back.“No, keep your head down and keep your mouth shut. They'll leave, just watch.” I nodded toward the men around the corner.Sure enough they continued to walk, a phone started going off.“Yeah, what?” One of the boys said.“We were just about finished our rounds.” He continued, we couldn't hear who was on the other end.“Yeah, no sight of Colby yet.”“What's he saying?” The other guy beside him asked.“We gotta do another round.” The one on the phone replied.“You gotta be joking.” the other commented.I looked at Jason, his hand around the butt of the gun, it was like he was just itching to spill blood.“Wait, you want us to meet you where? –Yeah alright Jasp, yeah old gas station? Okay, yeah we will meet you there.”My blood ran cold, and I looked at Jasper's face, it looked as if the blood ran from his face, he was as pale as a ghost. Jasper, is on their side?I could hear their

Chloe's p.o.v A part of me knew, the last I know the better but not knowing was slowly driving me crazy. “Chloe dear, you must calm down.” My mother says sitting on the edge of the couch in our livingroom. Hayley was in the kitchen making tea, I on the other hand is pacing the room, I told the police half truths meaning they were also half lies and thinking about that is making me anxious. “I can’t.” I say biting the nail on my thumb. “Okay but can you at least sit down, you gave birth only six hours ago, if you keep pacing like this you will rip your stitches. “I don’t care about the stitches, I care about my family coming back safe.” I realized I said that more harshly then I intended, so I sat down in the chair beside the coffee table. “I know how terrifying this is, your father didn’t want to wait for the police to bring you home either.” She says softly. I looked down and bit my lower lip before speaking. “Why did you?” “We had your brother to care for too, we couldn

All I heard over the phone was nothing but a click indicating she hung up, I sighed and pulled a harsh corner off of the freeway and onto a street. Continuously looking in my rearview mirror seeing if I lost them yet, nope red and blue lights shined brighter as the afternoon was turning to evening. "In Hayley's shitty car I don't think we are going to lose them." Jason says, annoyance filled his voice and I pressed on the gas as hard as it would let me. You could hear the thumping of the engine and the steering wheel was almost impossible to control, veering side to side as if I had a few too many to drink but I still held on. As I said before nothing will get in my way, not even these law abiding cops who didn't learn when to quit. There was a voice of the cop in the magnaphone. "Pull over or we will shoot." I didn't obey, I didn't stop or slow down. I had to get there and soon because if I don't kill us, Chloe will if I don't bring the twins home safe and sound, I wouldn't sto

There were neatly lined cans of soup on the shelf. He could make a run for it. When I was close enough, I gazed over at Jason, knowing what I was thinking. He nodded, letting me take the lead. "Hurry the fuck up, I don't have all day!" He kept eyeing the door. If at any moment he'll get caught by the cops red handed, and here they don't ask questions, they shoot first. The woman behind the cash opened the drawer, taking out the bills, fifties, twenty's, tens and fives, tears soaking her cheeks, hiccuping her panicked sobs. I stood up and grabbed him into a headlock. Any wrong move. I could break his neck with one twist of my arm, if inevitable. The man tried to free himself from my grasp, cashier was screaming and cowering with her hands protecting her head. He shot off the gun twice missing me by a quarter of an inch and the second just whizzed past the cashier's head as the glass casing behind her smashed into splintering shards everywhere, she screamed in fear and pain when g

Chloe's P.O.V I stood there breathless as I went face first into a police officer's chest. I stepped back trying to hold back the surprise, letting him into the room. "Are you the woman with the missing babies?" I can't lie or I'd be seen as an accomplice. "Yes I am." Letting worry fill my voice, my hands laced together anxiously. "When was the last time you saw them?" The more brute officer asked, his hand lazily on his gun holt. I eyed my mother for support before answering. "I, I didn't." Something hard was in my throat, something I couldn't swallow. "You don't know?" The man asked, raising a condescending eyebrow and folded his arms. "She was out cold, they were born prematurely due to unforeseen circumstances." My mother says, coming to my rescue, and wrapping her arm around my shoulders. "Is this true?" The man didn't seem to believe me, what mother would lie about their child? "Officer, I would never lie about my babies going missing, instead of asking so many que

Chloe's P.O.V That wretched woman has twins, and I remember the first time I met her, she was almost as bad as Alistair. Her white curly hair and barely wrinkled face made me shiver. She used to tell Alistair to beat me more, that I had to learn more discipline, and show more respect. Everyday she stayed I had gotten beat at least once a day and instead of my meals once a day I got food maybe once every three days that month. I remember the fight Carolynn and Alistair had the last night she was around, it was the first time Carolynn stood up for me, at the time I didn't really understand why I was getting hurt and barely fed, I was only four or five at the time. I held Hayley's phone tightly in the palm of my hand seething with anger, any tighter the screen would crack. "Chloe, are you alright dear?" I turned towards the woman who gave birth to me. "No, and until they are safe I won't be." I admitted, passing Hayley her phone back. My mother nodded, if anyone could understand
Dove's Cry The Series CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
The streets filled with the sound of screeching tires and the smell of burning rubber, into the alley. Three cars, a silver Nissan, a white Toyota and one I wasn't expecting, a red mustang. The red mustang was my brothers and that didn't make sense to me. I stopped just short enough not to hit the Nissan, and two men came out. Camino, and Dee. The two out of three triplets that worked for my father, the only difference between the three is that Camino has a deep scar straight across his chubby face. He came up to my window and I rolled it down. "Damn it Colby what the fuck are you driving?" Camino questioned as he spat chewing tobacco over his shoulder. "Where are they Camino?" I asked, as I got out of the car. "I don't know what you're talking about man." Camino says moving his tongue over his teeth getting off the sticky tobacco. "You're a fucking lier." I hollard making my way to the abandoned unit behind him. "We can't let you in Colby, boss's orders." Dee says placing a
