Ryhse didn't answer for a long while, I knew he was debating something.

“I offer something,” He spoke like he knew his plan perfectly.

“Let's hear it,”

“A trade. I shall tell you what my daughter is and you'll give her back to me. Deal?”

“Agreed. Where and when?”

He rambled off a location and time. I assumed that my brother agreed because Ryhse shut the phone with a loud growl.

“You aren't really going to tell him are you?” I asked?

“Hell no!” He got up and stormed out of the room. I leaned back in the chair. How interesting.

Kenzie's PoV- 

I had become a shell. I didn't know what to do or what to say.

I was curled up in a corner, covering my naked body. My hair was a knotted mess, my body had bruises, cuts, blood, and I'm pretty sure old Matt's nasty juice over me. I was cold, but I wasn't sure if I was cold because I had no clothes or if I was because I had no savior.

“Get up, put that on, brush your hair.” Matt Walst, the monster, commanded to me like I was dog. He threw some sort of clothes and a brush at me. My hands shook as I quickly reached for what was thrown at me. I brushed my hair as fast as my trembling body would let me.

It was almost damn near impossible putting clothes on me with his lustful eyes watching me. I gulped as I stood there, waiting for him to open the door so I could follow him. I stared at the floor, terrified that if I looked up, I'd be met by some horrible doom.

“Pathetic! I thought you were strong,” He laughed at me. “You just another pathetic human that will never be useful.” Again he laughed at me.

For some reason something clicked in my brain and I lunged at him as he opened the door. My nails clawed at his throat. He deserved to be dead! I screamed profanities as I clawed at him. He let me for awhile, getting some sick amusement out it, then he slapped me. I instantly fell to ground, my head smacking against the cement below me. I hit hard, I saw those little dots in my vision. He chuckled.

“See, pathetic,” He picked me up, tossing me on his shoulder. I couldn't process what really was going on. I was dazed.

–

We were sitting in a car that was in a dark alley, suspicious if you asked me. Matt was leaning against the car outside, looking around. I still had to sit in the car. He didn't trust me. I watched as a black SUV pulled up and a familiar looking man got out.

I continued to watch as words were exchanged between the men. The man I didn't know looked at me, said something, Matt agreed. He came around to my side, pulled me out of the car and tossed me to the man. I stumbled into his arms. I clung to him like saran wrap clings to itself. He held me close.

“You want to know what she is?” The man asked. Matt nodded.

“She's mine!” With that he rushed us into the SUV and I noticed Matt was driving, he smiled at me and quickly drove us off. He pressed a button and it seem like no one could see us.

“W-what's going on?” I asked quietly. The man looked at me.

“MacKenzie, I'm your father. I'm here for your protection,” I stared at him wide-eyed.

“Really?” I gulped. He nodded. “Then where the fuck were you when I really needed you! You fucking asshole! You fucking left me! I hate you! And my mom, whoever the fuck she is!” I crawled up to the front with Matt. My 'dad' didn't say anything after that. I was pissed.

When we got home, Jimmy was the first out to see me as he pulled me from the car.

“It's okay my little Kenzie! I know you think we're big scary monsters, but really were just big cuddly teddy bears! You'll see!” He was crushing me against him. I whimpered softly, he loosened a little bit but still kept me close.

“You guys are way better than Matt Walst's group,” I shuddered, remembering.

“That's good to hear,” Jimmy helped me get in the house and settled in again.

“Some updates! We all kinda crash here now, we're here to protect you, because there's no doubt that Walst is going to try and get you again. We can't let that happen.” Jimmy patted my head. “We were all scared we lost you, you're one of the death bats now, so don't run away again. Please.” I stared at Jimmy for a long while before I hugged him. He hugged me back, and for the first time in an extremely long time; I felt loved.
