She was dead.

She was dead in Lucy's room.

Doveleen Catherine Sanderson.

My mother.

The woman I ran away from.

I stood staring at the dead body in shock. My mother was dead.

Immediately I turned the other way and puked on the carpet. I wiped my mouth on my sleeve and let out a strangled sob.

"Why-why did you kill her?" I cried out in between my hiccups.

Xander didn't answer.

Instead he gave me a note.

"I've waited so long for this and now it has finally happened.

The slut is dead.

The next is you my dear.

-Daddy dearest

My legs were trembling and finally they gave out but Blake caught me before I fell and led me to the couch.My hands kept shaking.Every single voice was blocked out. I was only focused on the letter.

It was his handwriting

It wasn't fake

He was back  

My father was back

•••

I went to the bathroom and changed into new clothes.

Meanwhile Xander's men came over and took care of the dead body. They were going to bury my mother today.

My mom always wasted money on drugs and slept with different men thus she never had the time to look after me or my siblings. And so she was one of the reasons why I had to getaway with the youngsters.

She was a mess

But the thing was it wasn't always like this.

••

We arrived at a cemetery in the afternoon.

Least to say I was surprised that this man let me pay respect to my mom. He had organized a burial and had it all done. But none of that changes the circumstances we were still under.

I stood looking at the spot where they had buried her and I kept the flowers on top.

And I stared in sadness.

I stared in longing at the mother that could've handle things much better.The mother that could've stopped one second to think before taking any action.

But she didn't.

She could've been there for me and my sisters but she wasn't.

Nonetheless she's still the woman who gave birth to me.The one who held me with love and warmth at first sight.

But something happened along the way and she changed for the worse.

My sadness channeled into anger and finally there were no more tears.

Her loss will always be a hole in my heart but I had to be focused.

Sisters first,grieving later.

I had to find them and I wasn't going to wait any longer.

Tonight I was going to get my answers one way or another.

I wiped the tears on my face with the back of my hand.Seeing this,Drake offered me tissue wish I gratefully accepted.

Taking a deep breath I turned to Xander and gritted out "We need to talk"

He looked at me with a small smirk.

"I thought you'd never ask"

...

We arrived back at Xander's place by nightfall

I got off the vehicle and walked inside along with the faggots.

Once we reached the living room I stood waiting for Xander to come.Meanwhile Blake and Drake were in the kitchen cooking dinner.

The day's events had given me the worst headache.

I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples

My mom

The funeral

My father

My sisters

Everything felt surreal,

Now all I wanted to do was  sleep and wake up from this horrible nightmare I was living.

After fifteen minutes or so  Xander walked into the living room  and then gestured at me to sit down.

Just as I was about to decline I remembered the incident that happened the last time  so I sat down and looked at him.

"I want to kill David Sanderson"he said calmly

"How the hell do you know my dad-'

"You will be the bait"

"What-

"For fucks sake Sanderson shut up and listen"he gritted out.

I took a deep breath and mentally counted to ten.

"In return I will let you go with your sisters"he continued.

At that last sentence I felt a surge of hope go through me

My heart started racing with excitement.

finally there was hope

"In took two week's time we will make our move until then we wait."

"How do I know I can trust you?"I asked frowning

"You only have my word to believe.

It's your choice"

It was the only choice I had truthfully

And I was going to take it.

"Do we have a deal Sanderson?"asked Xander with a smirk.

It was like the bastard knew that I would accept it.

he had it all planned from the beginning

"Yes,yes we do Lucas"I said staring into his eyes whilst shaking his hand.

He stared back at me intensely, still shaking.

I gave him the biggest glare I could muster and his face didn't waver at all; he had that blank face which I couldn't read.

Suddenly there was a loud bang of plates clattering on the dining table.

"Uh did I interrupt something?"asked Blake hastily

"No you-"I started

"Yes"said Xander cutting me off

"Well I'll just go and uh clean the thing and cook and-"

"Go"snapped Xander.

"And you"he said looking at me.

"Follow me."

Hope you enjoyed it <3
