356–Between Two Mates, One Is The Worst
Graham:
Elgin did not stay with me. I had to go back home alone with my worries, but that did not mean I would give up on looking for my daughter. I was enraged by how this could have happened.
There were so many people there that night, yet the monster only took my daughter. It felt like she was not their priority. Otherwise, my daughter would have been saved too.
“Wait, what are you saying?” my father questioned as I moved restlessly around the living room.
Ever since I had arrived, I noticed I had not been able to form a full sentence. I was not panicking. I was just losing my grip.
“What is it that you do not understand?” I shouted. “A monster came and took Gina.” I raised my voice again, making my father narrow his eyes at me.
“A monster?” my father repeated, folding his arms across his chest. “And where did this supposed monster come from?”
“From the sky,” I snapped.
“No, I mean how did it come down?” he pressed, his stare making me uncomfortable.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked my father, snapping at him.
“Because, if I remember correctly, my son, it was you who was interested in finding out about the monster. And it cannot be a coincidence that it arrived right after you fixated on it,” he replied, staring at me with his hands on his
waist.
“So you think I wanted it to come and take my daughter away from me?” I asked.
I did not raise my voice because I could tell he was growing frustrated with me. I needed him on my side if I wanted my daughter found.
“Well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” he muttered, making me wave my hand to dismiss his words.
“Look, I will be honest with you. It has been days now. She is gone.”
As soon as he said that, my heart sank. I hated the truth. I hated the reminder that I had lost my daughter because
of me.
“But we have not even looked for her yet. What if—”
My father lifted his hand, cutting me off.
“There is no if, no buts, Graham. She is gone. And she is gone for good.”
Those words were spoken by Kaylee as she intervened, stepping into the living room with a hand pressed to her back.
“Aren’t you happy that you are no longer connected to Madeline in any way?” she asked me. Her eyes were red, likely from crying or anger. That was only because I had not answered her calls in the last few hours.
“And you think that your reaction is appropriate?” I hissed at Kaylee, my fists clenched, but my father instantly stepped in front of me.

“You will not take your anger out on my daughter–in–law. She is carrying your pups. She is going to give you the strongest heirs. As for Gina, it is sad that she passed, but she is gone. And Kaylee is right. You no longer have any connection to Madeline, so just be happy about that. She disrespected you enough times, especially when she protected the other kids and let yours be taken away,” my father declared. $2
He continued, listing facts, but every word hurt.
“I am a mother too, Graham, and I will never let one of my children suffer while protecting the others. Nobody can take any of my children away from me unless I want them gone. So you better believe she did not put as much effort into saving Gina as she did into the other two. Snap out of it. You are lucky you are not connected to that witch, because trust me, Elgin still is, and she will make sure she takes revenge on him by hurting his daughter too,” (19
Kaylee muttered under her breath, taking deep, heavy breaths, because as a mother, it was not easy for her to say all these things.
I wondered how vindictive Madeline had to be to purposely not protect Gina.
