So far away

Ivy's Point of View

I rushed into the house and looked around for any signs. The police hadn't got here yet which was a good thing considering what I'm doing is illegal. The whole house was trashed. Tables had been thrown, water from the flowers were everywhere, holes marked the walls. It didn't even look like Hannah's house anymore. I yelled out her name but I knew it was no use. If Jasper put up this big of a fight and got caught, there was no doubt they had taken her too.

I didn't have to question who did this; I already know. I knew he was up to something the way he looked at me. It should've been evident right then. I had hoped that I was wrong. Maybe I could've warned them. Maybe they would've still been safe. But I know that he wont stop until I'm dead.

"Ivy, come look at this." Matt called from the kitchen. I walked in to see that broken glass lay all over the floors. Matt held a piece of paper in his hand. I grabbed it knowing it was for me.

My dear Ivy, you should know by now that I wont stop. You think you can hide from me? Youre wrong sweetie. See, I knew where you were. The release papers said it all. It only took a week for you to make your first move. Now someone has to pay. So, lets play a game of hide and seek. The winner keeps their life. Find us before sun down or everyone loses. You don't want that do you?

My insides curled and twisted as I read the note. I looked out the window to see we had about a few hours. Give or take. I looked at Matt for answers that I knew he wouldn't have. I could hear sirens in the distance. This is tampering with evidence and you cant tell me that they aren't going to believe a looney like me. Even if they did, they wouldn't know where to start.

Adrenaline shot through me as I ran to my car with Matt. I jumped in and sped off. I wracked my brain for places where he would go. The only place that I could think of was an old barn house we used to own. It has a huge barn with fields behind it. Its a hour from town. From here it would take longer to get there. If I was wrong...

"Where are we going?" Matt asked with his jaw clenched and his knuckles white.

"Call the guys and tell them to meet me on Riverway. I don't have time to explain. Just hold on. We don't have much time." I said ignoring his question as I headed off towards the back roads.

He did as I said. I was worried about not having back up or weapons much less. I knew my dad well and I knew he loved to see people struggle. I guess we have more in common than I thought.

My mind was racing as I sped up. The adrenaline was doing wonders. I knew I should've done something about him a long time ago. But I was too scared and I didn't want to appear weak. But now, theres hell to pay. And I will make sure he's the one going down. I'm too old for this shit. I'm too old to fear people like him.

I passed the old bridge that signaled we were close. I could see Brian's car up ahead. I pulled over next to his. The sun was threatening us now. I got out to explain. "I cant explain whats going on just follow me and you'll see when we get there." I said before going back to my car. Brian nodded and followed like I told him to. I slowed down. It would be better to surprise him. We pulled into the drive to see his car there as well. All the weight lifted off my chest. Brian pulled in next to me and opened his trunk.

"Ivy tell us what to do." Arin said grabbing a gun and a knife.

"You guys check the inside of the house and we'll get the barn. Yell if you find something but otherwise, don't make a sound." I said grabbing another gun and I butcher knife. I knew I was better off with a slender knife. Easy to throw and sharp. But I wasn't ready to kill him just yet. He would suffer.

I grabbed some rope and headed off to the barn with Zacky and Matt. The others crept up to the house. I walked in to smell the familiar smells. It was eerie how quiet it was in here. I looked around. Up ahead in the loft I could hear muffled screams. I climbed the ladder. By now my stomach was ready to puke. I climbed up to see Hannah and Jasper. Jasper was coated in blood and laid across Hannah's lap. I turned around and there he stood with a smile plastered to his face. I tucked the gun in my waist and set the knife down.

"I see youre not as dumb as I thought you were." He said with a smirk. His clothes were covered in blood and it was smeared across his forehead.

"Why would you bring them into this. This is between you and I." I said not cowering. I stood a good distance away from him now.

"Youre right. But isn't it much more fun to bring others into the mix?" He asked with a hint of laughter in his voice. I was phased by him. What he didn't know is how much alike we are.

"You have me here now what do you want?" I asked him. I knew what he want but I also knew there was more to it.

"You see, Ivy, you were the kid we never wanted. But your mom, she insisted. Now that shes gone, I can corrected gods only mistake." He said inching towards me. He caressed my face but I swerved from his touch.

"What are you gonna do? Tie me? Chop me into little tiny pieces? Tell the police I was kidnapped and you tried to stop them?" I chuckled. "Oh sweetie. Get creative now!" I said sitting in a chair next to him. "I mean this is the moment you've been waiting for right? Make it big! Make it worth it." I laughed. "You see, we're alike, you and me. Just like you, I've been waiting for this moment too. And boy do I have so many plans for you!" I smiled up at him.

"So you think you can beat me, don't you?" He asked sitting across from me.

"Oh I know I can." I whispered winking at him. I pulled out a cigarette and put it between my lips. "See, you think youre so damn vicious fucking with little teenagers. My motto is go big or go home." I said lighting the cigarette and taking a long drag before standing up. I had him and knew it. I walked behind him putting my hands on his shoulders. He tensed. I pulled out the rope and tied him to the chair and his hands to the table.

I sat back in front of him looking at my work. "You see, theres no joy in putting tape over your mouth. No, I wanna hear your blood curdling yells. And the very best part is, no one can fucking hear you scream like the bitch you are." I smirked. I pulled the knife from his pocket and caressed his cheek bones with it. He shivered and looked at me with fear blazing in his eyes. I cut from his cheek to his chin making him wince in pain. I laughed at the sight.

"See, little girls, are supposed to adore their parents. And maybe this wouldn't of happened. But I love that it did." I smiled. I took another drag and blew the smoke in his face. "But you know, I kind of hoped you would fight. Its a shame." I said putting the cigarette out on his hand. I knew what I wanted to do with him.

"Let me go you crazy cunt." He yelled. I laughed.

"Now why would I do that?" I said smoothly. I walked behind him and pulled a rusty chain off of a shelf. No doubt it was supposed to be for me. "It must suck to lose at your own game." I laughed pulling the chain around his neck. Matt and the rest of the guys appeared with a smile.

"Guys, we taught her well." Brian looked proud.

"Help me please!" My father yelled but they all laughed.

"Please help us! Please save us! Please don't do this!" I mocked him. "No one fucking cares!" I yelled laughing. I tipped his chair backwards and stood above him. I stabbed his arms three times. Not enough to kill but deep enough to hurt.

"Ivy, I'm sorry." He begged. He started to cry. I rolled my eyes stabbing him again.

"Shut the fuck up." I whispered. "I don't care for sorrys. I don't give a shit about your sorry life." I sat him up and pushed him to a table next to Hannah and Jasper. I pulled the tape from Hannah's mouth.

"Please don't hurt me Ivy. You know that I love you and-"

"Hannah, I'm not here to hurt you. I promise." I said cutting the ropes off of her. I knew this was something I didn't want her to see.

"Arin please take Hannah and Jasper to the house." I said and he nodded helping her stand and slung Jasper over his shoulder. I walked back over to the shelf grabbing pliers and scissors. I stood in front of him now.

I ran my hand down his arm and stopped at his fingers. I took the piers and pulled his thumb nail off making him scream in pain. I pulled the butcher knife out and chopped each of his fingers off. "Now, I could let you bleed out but wheres the fun in that?" I laughed. I pulled his tongue out and cut it off. Blood poured from his mouth. "Id rather watch you burn slowly in hell." I whispered pouring gasoline all over the place. I followed the guys back downstairs continuing to pour it all over.

I pulled a cigarette out and took two drags before tossing it in. The whole barn went up in flames after a minute or so. I stood watching it before hearing Arin yelling. We walked back to the house.

When we walked in Hannah was screaming trying to help Jasper. "He's losing too much blood."
