Chapter 255
I lean up against the wall, my arm stretched through the bars just in case she needs me and decides to finally come back to me, but I know she won’t.
I hear her screams, feel her pain even with her blocking me out. It’s like a phantom stabbing that never stops. The wolfsbane clouds my system and I’ve never felt so weak in my life.
I hate this, I hate everything, but most of all I hate her.
The amount of anger I feel towards this fucking witch is on another level. I don’t know what she wants from Amy, but I know Amy is doing everything she can not to give it to her.
Even when she brought me or mom in to be tortured right in front of her, her face was a blank mask. Like there was no one there, like she’s numb.
The days are hard to register down here, but I feel like it’s everyday. Everyday, she’s taken into that room, and I can’t do anything to stop it. The amount of times my body has burned from the silver has made it to where I can’t even feel it anymore, like my body’s becoming immune to it, from trying to stop them.
I’m going to kill them all. Rip their useless throats from their body and rip out their fucking hearts just to spite them. I can’t wait til the day I get to listen to them choke on their own blood as they slowly die looking into my
eyes.
Mom places a hand on my shoulder when we hear the door down the hallway open up. I stand up quickly, but this time is different, someone’s shouting and fighting back.
I wait to see what’s going on when on of my worst nightmares comes true.
My eyes widen as I see Micah and Heather being thrown into the cell across from me, and my teeth grit.
Mom gasps and squeezes my arm. I glance over at Amy, but she’s still just staring at the wall, like always. Good. This will break her, hopefully, she’s so lost in her own world that she doesn’t realize who’s here.
The guards lock their cage and walk away, leaving us alone.
Heather jumps to her feet and runs to the bars. The sizzling of her flesh causing me to grimace as she looks at me with tears in her eyes. “Daddy. You’re really here.” She whispers, as Micah pulls her back from the bars.
I want to scream. I want to run to her and hug her. I want so many things, but I just nod. This isn’t a joyous occasion. This is a fucking nightmare. Heather looks beside me, “Grandma.” She weeps, and I wince at her next question. “Where’s Grandpa? Where’s mom?” She whispers.
“Grandpa didn’t make it, Sweetie.” My mom whimpers and I close my eyes when I see the grief cross Heather’s face. “What are you doing here?” I snap.
My tone hurts her, but I’m too lost in misery to worry about that right now. She looks around and decides she can tell me, “We have a plan.” She whispers as quietly as she can.
I close my eyes. Hope and despair churning around in my gut like a rocket. What if all she’s done is put herself in danger?
“Where’s mom?” Heather asks again, and I look over at her cage. Where she’s still laying with her back to us.

Heather gasp when she follows my gaze and I shake my head as I look back at her. She’s crying and holding onto Micah and Micah looks like he’s going to tear the cage from the walls. I’ve tried; it won’t work.
Micah starts looking around like he’ll be able to find an opening, but then his gaze turns to me. “It’ll work.” He tells me, like he can read my thoughts, and knows I have little faith in whatever plan they’ve made.
“Aspen told us it was bad, and to be prepared, but dad… I can see her bones.” She whispers, and my jaw clenches. She’s refused to eat for awhile now.
The thought that she wants to die makes me want to puke, but they’ve been giving her an iv every other day.
I shake my head, “What do you mean, Aspen said it was bad?” I whisper and Heather’s too distraught to answer
so Micah does, “She said she had been having dreams about you two being trapped down here. That you were begging for help. She’s the reason we knew you three were alive.” He explains, and I nod.
Something about that making sense after everything that happened and some of the things she said.
We sit in silence for hours after that.
