This Silence is Deafening;; - - [ZOEY]

"It is my fault Becky... These people..." he stopped as he hugged her tightly. These people were people he knew, but it was hard for him to admit that to his only daughter. What would she think of him? He didn't want to know and he didn't want to explain it right now. Not in this place, where so many horrid things have happened. He gently wiped the tears from her beautiful face and nodded. "Your mother is getting him out as we speak." he said quietly as he looked at his daughter, his beautiful daughter that he hate lose more then his own life. "I guess I just wished I could forget about it... Your mother and I went through a lot of horrible shit just like tonight, and most of it was my fault. I had hoped it would never get to you." he said hugging her tightly once more as tears feel down his cheeks. He felt horrible that they had to go through this. It wasn't fair. He picked her up very carefully, knowing the pain that the injection was causing her, along with whatever Lee did to his baby. "C'mon, we have to go meet Ian and your mother." he said quietly.

Ian was quiet as she said not to blame his father. He didn't look at her for a long moment as his mother said that he did not mean for any of this to happen then she said that she hoped he could forgive her. "You didn't do anything wrong, mom..." he said quietly, but happiness showed in his eyes as he heard his sister was alright. Ian sat up a bit and felt pain in his limbs as he stretched a bit. God it hurt to move, but at least he could move again. Ian wrapped his arms around his mother and tucked his legs behind him. Then nodded as she said they had to go meet his sister and father. He got up carefully, his muscles feeling stiff and very sore. Everywhere he itched too. The injection had spread over his body and it was just far enough under his skin that he couldn't stretch it away like usual. He ran his fingers through his hair and led his mother outside. He remembered where they had brought him and knew his way out.

Becky looked at her father. He looked like he was not telling her seomthing. She frowned and then kissed his cheek Dad..i know you want to tell me right now how sorry you are..even though its not your fault..but we have to get out..your bleeding. She looked at him sadly. It was HER fault he had got shot. More tears fell down her face as she tried to stand with him. She gripped his arm. As he picked her up she protested Dad..your hurt. She complained pulling away from his arms almostfalling. She felt sick and gripped the wall. He shot you.. She whimpered then wiped his tears Mom is waiting..we have to get out. She could not stress that part enough. She wanted to scream, but fear of getting caught stopped her.
Becky looekd at him It is..i wanted to keep you safe. That is always my goal..and your birthday was a disaster...i cant even make a cake. she whispered hiding her face as he hugged her. She got up with him. He must be weak. She put her arm around him helping him walk Let me hold your weight love. She begged and held him up. She helped him climb out the window and out. It was a good covered area. She hugged him tightly once they were out Im so glad your safe..guilt ripped at me. She cried hugging him looking at the mansion. Why were they taking so long? She itched to go check but stood her groudn looking at Ian. They would be out son. Thats all she ahd to tell herslf even if time took forever..

[Hannibal Casry]

As much as he loved his daughter, he could not bring himself to tell her the truth of his past... maybe, when they were home safe and out of this shit hole he'd tell them... maybe. She protested as he tried to pick her up, and then pulled away from him. "I know he shot me... but we have to get out and you can barley walk..." he said quietly. That little fact was true about himself as well, but he could surely walk better then she could. The total affects took longer to wear away then just the first few. She'd still feel sick for a while which lead to dizziness and unsteady walking. He could at least bare the pain and walk. He ripped off a bottom section of his shirt and tied it around the wound. It hurt like a motherfuck, but if he cut off the blood flow it wouldn't bleed as much.

He held his mother close as she felt that things were her fault. He still tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault, but that was no use. She was dead set that it was her fault and he couldn't do anything but go along with her and get out of this god for saken house. "I got it..." he said quietly as she begged to help him move by having her support his weight. He was doing alright in walking, it hurt a bit to walk but that was only because it hurt to move in general. together they climbed out the window and when they got to the bottom they hugged each other tightly, glad to be out of there. "It's alright, I'm fine." he said in the most convincing voice he could muster up as he wiped her tears away. He looked back up to the mansion and wondered what had happened. The last he'd saw of his father was him walking out with a knife and he didn't look back...

Damn, I should be getting out of here while I have the chance. I am free and what am I doing, crawling further into my almost certain death to see what happened? I'm too much of a hero to live a long healthy life... he murmered as he climbed through the attic of the mansion. He'd been up here for almost 48 hours and he had finally eased the rope off his wrists and ankes. He'd heard a gun shot and he had watched Lee fall from the window of the third floor. Holy fuck... whoever is in that room is voilent... Do I even want to go in there and see who they are? What if it was Mason... or Sherry? I don-- he said and before he could even finished his thought that attic gave in under his wait and he crashed through the floor, landing on the soft floor of the room.

Hannibal was on his feet as soon as the stranger fell through the ceiling. The pain in his leg was strong as the blood rushed through his veins in worry of who the other was, but he dropped the knife as he saw that it was a boy, no younger then 16 years old. He looked terribly beaten and thin. Hannibal walked closer to the boy to see if he was alright when he jumped away from Hannibal, grabbing the knife that he had dropped.

"Back away man... I'm here to save the girl..." he said, holding the knife toward Hannibal as it he was trying to be threatening. In all reality he'd never hurt anyone before and he didn't think he ever could. This man looked just as bad off as him if not worse. He looked worried and he was bleeding... It didn't stop Chad from still holding the knfe in that somewhat threatening manner.

"Gimme that..." he said, taking the knife from the boy's hands before he could protest. "I'm her father." Hannibal said as he watched the boy carefully. He just kind of sat there as Hannibal took the knife from his hands and spoke. He looked like he'd never met anyone with a fast hand and that was this protective.

"I -- uhh -- I'm sorry sir. I heard the gun shot and I saw Lee fall from the window... I just came to help..." he said quietly, in a more normal tone of voice for him.

[Zoey]

Becky sighed as her father said he could walk better. It was true. She was a wrekc. Her face was stained with tears and she had been violated. Dad.. she said but it was no use.He was determined to be the hero. She ripped some of her short also helping and looked into his eyes Its not your fault dad..its no ones. She went and put her arm around his waist I may be a bit wobbily but i can walk faster than you..even if its wobily. she laughed lightly. There was blood everywhere which caused her to shutter. She was about to walk with her father from the room when a crash fell down onto the matress. She bit back a scream falling back onto her ass. she groaned in pain and looked at the boy. He was the same age as he it looked like and he was handosome. His looks were masked by his bruises and skinniness. She looked at him puzzled Save me? she saw him grab the knife and backed away agasint the wall until her father pulled it from him. She laughed lightly. It looked as if he was scolding a small child Dad..shh rember we are still in enemy territory. She slowly got up gripping the wall Whats your name? She saked weakly smiling at him. Even though she was weak and brusied she was still beautiful. She walked past her father almost falling twice then looekd around Can you help us get out? She begged taking his hand We don't ahve much time if you saw lee fall others must have too.. She said sadly and looked at her father. Dad...we should split up it would be better and safer. She whispered. She did not want to..but it was what was best..

nicky smiled at her son kissing his cheek I can walk fine its you im worried about and you know it. She sat with him outside the gates taking a deep breath. Now allt hey had to do was wait. Wait for her other family members to get out safely. She yearned to hold Becky in her arms. She wanted to kill Lee for raping her daughter..but Hannibal had already done that. Tears stung her eyes She is to young to feel that pain. She whimpered and hid her face in her knees So are you Ian..i cannot believe i broguht this down on you. i am the worst mother in the entire world! She cried her tiny body shaking with her sobs. She felt dreadful. Like she had done the wrong on her family. She sohuld ahve follwoe dher instincts but no. Instead she shook it off. What was wrong with her?

[Hannibal Casry]

Hannibal looked over at him and told hi mto be quiet because they were in enemy territory. True, very true. He tucked the knife back into his pocket and leaned up against a wall, taking the pressure off of his leg. It hurt horribly, and it was still bleeding quite a lot despite the pressure of the wraps he'd tied around his leg. He worked on another one while he observed the boy that had just fallen through the roof. He seemed as though he was innocent in all of this, but one could never know after knowing Lee for so long. Lee was a sick fuck who could scare almost anyone into working for him... Lesley was the same way... He'd tried getting Hannibal to be on his side when they were younger, but he had not let that happen.

"I'm... Chad..." he said, looking at Hannibal to find the man staring at him from across the room with eyes as hard as stone and as cold as ice. The stare of the father felt as though it was being burned into his soul... He looked away, but didn't look up at the girl either. He listened as she spoke and took his hand. He pulled away slightly, just out of worry since he was around Hannibal. She was a gorgeous girl, but his gaze just gud into Chad's soul. "Yeah, I figured out a route that they don't think anyone knows. there's a star case in the floor of this room. It leads to the first floor and if we hurry, they think we'll all be up here..." Chadrick said quietly, still speaking in his normal tone of voice as he tried not to look bothered by Hannibal.

Hannibal spoke up to try and protest them splitting up because it would not be the best idea. Not with Becky feeling how she was and with him being shot in the leg. It was not a good idea to split, but Chadrick broke his protest."No, it's not a good idea to split up. They'll pick up off if we split up. No offense, but we cannot leae your father by himself in that shape..." he made sure that Hannibal knew he meant no harm. He finally brought his courage up enough to look at Hannibal whom by this time had softened his gaze the slightest bit so he wasn't staring into the boy's soul.

"Nicky..." he said, speaking to his mother with an easy, but firm voice like his father had. "A bad mother wouldn't have come to save us..." He said, holding her in his arms as she shook and sobbed. "You're a good mom, no matter what you think. some thigns are just inevidable, and this is one of those things..." he said quietly, not letting go of her as she cried. She needed to believe that she was great and that he'd never think any less of her because this whole thing happened. If anything, he loved her more then he had before...

[Zoey]

Becky looked as her father used the wallfor support. God she wondered how much pain he was in. She winced as the boy let go of her hand. Great rejection again. she sighed Nice to meet you Chad. I'm Becky..this is my Father Hannibal. Shr rolled her eyes as her dad glared at Chad. He was there only chance on escape. She tightened her fists as they both protested her idea. Oh grat now her ideas were being squeashed for the manly ones. It was true though. I meant you take my father and i will go a different way. She growled lightly but it was not use. They were posotive of the way they wanted to go. She was sick of hurting the people around her. They always said stick together stay as a group. Why not elt a small scrafice. She pulled her dress strap up sighing. It was noe use fighting with two men who could probably lug her over there shoulders. Instead she followed gritting ehr teeth and baring it.

nicky hugged her son lsitening A good mother would not cry in front of her son..and don't ever call me by my first name..its freaky. She smiled kissing his hceek ocne more rubbing his arms God..you look freezing..take my jacket. she pulled it offputting it on him watching the hosue. There was a light flickering on and she bit her lip. Please hurry love..please tell me Becky is ok. she bit back her worry and tried to hold her tears. ian did not deserve to watch her cry again. That was cruel. instead she sat down pulling her knees to her chest humming Join me Ian..i cannot stand waiting by myself. She patted the cold ground beside her. it was going to be a long day tomorrow and she hoped they all survived it.

"Pleasure to meet you Becky, I wish I could have met you in a better situation then this one." he said with a small smile. Her name was gorgeous and matched her perfectly. "Same to you sir, wish we could have met in a less tense manner." he said g lancing over at Hannibal once more. He really wished he could of because he liked Becky. She seemed nice but it was terrible that she was here in this situation. Chad listened to her as she explained the idea and still shook it off. That wouldn't work; he wasn't going to be left alone with her father. He might try and kill him with that knife once Becky leaves them alone... "No, we'll all just stay together." Chad stated calmly as he looked over at Hannibal. His eyes were down to the floor and his arms were crossed over his chest. Features were pale from the blood loss and from worry. He's been here before... Chad thought to himself. "Let’s go... We have to get out of here..." he said as he stood up and looked over at Hannibal. A very careful hand offered assistance to Hannibal, but it was shaken off as expected. He walked to a corner of the room and felt around, push hard against the wall. There was a click and a door opened, letting a cold gasp of breath into the room as Chad lead them down the stair well.

Hannibal was the slightest bit hesitant to follow the boy down the stair well, but instead he did anyway. He put a gentle hand on his daughter's shoulder and smiled very faintly. He knew she didn't like that her own idea had been shoved aside like it was nothing, but it had been an ok idea. If the circumstances were different it might have worked but this time it didn't seem fit. He wasn't sending his baby girl through this house alone... "C'mon, the sooner we get out the sooner we're going home." he said quietly, kissing her temple as they moved down the stairs. He walked very carefully and his movements were very stiff for pain surged through his leg every time it moved. The numbness was starting to take over though, the more pain he experiences, the less he started to feel. He was getting used to how badly it hurt, but he had bled a lot already...

"Pfft, everyone has to cry sometime... It's not uncommon..." he muttered the last part under his breath and laughed slightly as she rubbed his arms. "It's ok, I'm fine..." he said quietly, but she wrapped it around his shoulders. His eyes drifted up to the house again, wondering where they were in there. He watched then as she sat down and hugged her knees close and told him to come sit beside her as she patted the ground. He obediently moved over to where she sat and knelt down beside her before sitting. His legs were stretched out and the jacket was around his shoulders. He leaned against her a bit as he watched the house, his eyes sparkling with worry.

The three of them made their way out of the house through a back door and almost immediately they saw Nicky and Ian sitting there waiting for them. "You guys waited out here for us the whole time?" Hannibal asked worriedly as he hugged his wife and son in a tight hold, thanking to god that they at least looked alright. He didn't know what they had done to Ian, but from his looks he looked ok. He bent down a little bit and adjusted the tie around his leg, wishing it would just stop bleeding but he had been shot in a bad area and it bled a lot... He stood up once more.

[Zoey]

Becky nodded at Chad Same. She smieldweakly as he said tht to her father.It was true. He probably would stab him he minute they got out. They rally could not trust anyone. Becky hesitated as he walekd to the wall and opened a secret stairwell. She teped back but looked at her father as h reassuerd her. Was it going to be ok? What if this was a trap. She had a liing for Chad but she could not trust anyone till they were safe and she saw her brother well and alive. She kissed her dad's cheek back as she slowlyand dizzly took the starwll. It was winding and she hissied in pain a couple times. She saw her ather stumble too and her heart renched. He was sht because of her. This was very very unfair. She sohuld have done soemthing. Thed rug was still bruning through her as tey made it out.

Nicky smile at her son Jesus Ian you are so tall. She moved closer to him lookng at he house. A flash of movement starte her until she saw Hannibal Hannibal! She ired wih relief hugging him back. She saw Becky and cried out ears running down her face as she gasped her daughter hugging her Oh baby im so sorry..are you ok? Nicky loked at the thn hadsome other boy ho was leading them She looked at Hanibalcuriously before looking at Becky. She looekd dreadful. Her whole body was shaking and her clothes were a bit tattered. She flexed her wrists then put on a weak smile Young man did yo help them? She whispered touching his face. He looekd wul as well. Was h one who suffered under Lee as well?

Becky stumbled out of thehouse andsaw her moter and brother Oh mom! She cried tripping but fell into her rms. It felt so safe thereshe cried. After her mtoher let go Becky fel to herknees in front of Ian touching his face Brother.. She whimpered bfeore climbng into his lap crying I didnt know they were filming it..i fought She whispered holding onto him for dear life. She loved her brother dearly. She was so worried about him. Becky looked at Chad then Ian He helped us. She sniffed still cradled in his lap Im sory i was so mean before ew got kidnapped..i was just jealous please forgive me Ian. She rubbed her itchy arm coughing a bit then layed her head agasint his chest sleepily. It had been a long night.....

[Hannibal Casry]

"I know I didn't get it from you." he teased his mother gently, lightening up the mood a little bit. Then Hannibal was seen and he hugged them tightly. He wrapped his arms around his dad then saw Becky. His eyes were instantly filled with guilt as he saw her. Their last moments before all this happened had been hell. His eyes dropped to the ground for a second before he got the courage to look at his sister. She went through way worse then he had and he'd gotten what he'd wanted today. He'd gotten what he deserved too... He held her tightly in his arms as she climbed into his lap and apologized. "Don't be sorry... I got what I deserved..." he muttered quietly, holding her without wanting to let go. "You're the best sister a guy could have..." he said quietly as she begged him to forgive her... He was the one that should be begging.

Chad shied away as she touched his face, and just nodded quietly, looking up to the house. He didn't say anything because they were in the moment of a very happy time where they were seeing each other again. A lump caught in his throat as he thought of his parents. They'd taken his father because the man was a liar. They’d stripped him of everything, even his very will to live. He came home late one night, dressed in nothing but a torn pair of boxers and admitted that he was gay, said he'd been covering it up for years with having a wife and son but his attraction to men was final. Then pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head. His body shuddered at the memory of watching the life leave the strong man's eyes. He would have never thought his dad was gay... Chad's eyes fell to the ground as Becky looked back over at him, as well as Ian looking over at him as he held his sister.

"C'mon guys, we need to go." Hannibal said quietly as he helped Ian stand as he cradled his sister in his arms. He gently helped up Nicky, and let her lean on him if she needed but she'd probably get him to lean on her. He reached out for Chad as well. "C'mon, we're not leaving you here..." he said with a faint smile showing on his features, showing the shy boy that he meant no harm. Yes before he would have killed him, but now he wouldn't. He helped them get out of there and it was a debt that could never be paid back.

Chad followed shyly, looking at Hannibal wonderingly as they made their way to the car. Ian helped his sister into one of the seats, while he pulled a seat back to allow Chad in. He pushed the seat back into place once Chad slipped in the furthest back seat.

[Zoey]

Becky cuddled into her brother as he whispered she was the best sister someone could ask for. She looked at him skeptically. She felt so rude. she had gotten way to jealous and slammed the door in his face all because of a gift. She shook her head touching his cheek You did not deserve any abuse. she siad firmly. She lvoed her brother dearly. Why had she been such bitch to him. Guilt spwet over her and she looked as her dad said they needed to get out of here. That was a fine idea. She did not want to see another man in her liefe ...except maybe chad. She felt sorry for him. He looekd so haunted and he crept back as the family reunited. She wanted to desperatly go and touch him too but knew better. He probably did not want that. Biting her lip she mvoed cloesr to her brother wanting the security. She was tired of being alone and abused. All she wanted was someone to care for her.

Nicky dropped her hand a Chad backed away. What had this boy been through? She wished she could see what he was thinking. He looked in pain almost as he awtched her family reunite. Lee was a sick bastard no doubt he caused him harm.. She turned looking at Hannibal as he gently touched her waist. She smield warmly at Chad
Yes come with us...we dont bite. She said looking as Ian picked up Becky and brought her to the van. It was going to be a long night. Chad seemed like a nice boy. And hell no she was not leaving him here to face any of these sick men. No one deserved that.
Hop in with Becky alright...i want to talk to Ian. She kissed Hannibal's cheek and got in pulling Ian back Can i talk to you dear? She asked politely smiling at him. She had missed her son so much tars felll down her cheeks.
Please?

Becky shivered as Ian picked her and she she tried to move closer. she felt like no one could hurt her in his arms. She felt him put her in and she looked at the setabelt memories flooding through her. She elft it untouched looking at Chad tears falling down her cheeks. But she still smiled at him
C-come sit with me. She said shakily touching the seat next to her. She grasped Ian's hand for a second looking at him scared before he got out to talk to her mother. She was not scared of Chad..just being alone. She enver wanted to be alone again. Huddling her legs in she studied Chad. He was handsome for sure. He looked battered and beaten probalby worse than she had gotten tonight. As he sat she took his hand very hesitantly. It was cold but she felt safer just by this little touch
May I? she indicated there hands.

[Hannibal Casry]

Ian squeezed her hand lovingly as Becky didn't let go. He loved his sister dearly and he couldn't believe they let something as dumb as a present fall between them. They didn't fight very often, or not like this at least. They fought all the time but it was either playful or stupid and they were all over with it in a short while. Without an incident like this happening to them, they'd both still be in their same situation, fighting over the dog. Nicky pulled him away and asked if she could talk to him. He nodded slightly and smiled at Becky for a second before seeing his mother start to cry agin. "What's wrong?" he asked in gentle tones as hehugged her tightly. Why was she crying again? There was no need to cry. He'd always love her.

Hannibal nodded slightly and kissed her back. He got up into the seat and winced slightly, but waited as his son and wife hugged outside the van. He watched as chad got in the seat beside Becky. He was very nervous, which lead hannibal to remain quiet.

Chad watched the family as Ian went over to his mother and both Hannibal and Becky sat in the car. Becky touched the seat next to her and asked if he'd come and sit with her. His eyes drifted over to Hannibal and then over to Nicky and her son. He carefully made his way over to the van and climbed into the seat. His features were pale and he was skinnier then he should be. His figure was sore from having to workhimself out of a trap and there were bruises that lurked even deeper then his skin. He felt her touch his hand, bt didn't pull away like he had before, or like when her mother touched him. "Sure..." he said quietly, as he looked over at her for a second.

[Zoey]

Becky smield as he let her touch his hand. She gently pikced it up and frowned There so bruised.. She whispered and put his hand to herlips gently kissing it A kiss to make it better. She grinned at him weakly then gently put his hand down seeing how uncomfortable he was. She played with her hands nervously. Maybe he did not want anyone to be nice to him. maybe he was only used to violence. She held her breath hoping not then looked at her father glaring at him but smiling. She kenw he was just being caustious but she was posotive that Chad was no spy. Shuddering at the though she lenaed back holdiing her self to gain some warmth. Meories sillt flooded her and she felt tears roll down her face.

Nicky saw her son get out and she hugged him tightly That boy seems nice but...im just beign supersticous...no never mind. She said and looked down. She looked at Hannibal smiling reassuringly then kissed Ian's cheek Come on lets get out of here ok? You dog is waiting. She promised then le him to the van getting in herself. She toko Hannibal's hand as he drove looking worryingly at all three of them in the bak. Did they have a new family member? She hoped so. chad needed some love. She awnted to know what had happened with him. But she at the same time did not want her daughter getting hurt, Groaning she rested her ehad closing her eyes..

[Hannibal Casry]

She examined his hands, looking at his bruised skin. That wasn't even close to any real part of him. He was bruised from head to toe, almost literally. He couldn't remember the night that he was locked in the attic because his days have kind of all been blurred into one huge beating... A very faint smile showed on his pale features as she kissed his hand to 'make it better' as she had put it. This family was quite different then anything he'd known. There was a lot of love in each of them and they were all very gentle... even the father who kept glaring at him in the mirror didn't seem like a bad man. Chad's eyes drifted over to look at Becky then, to see the tears fall down her features. He could take a pretty good guess of what they had done to her, and he knew it must have been horrible. A very gentle hand reached over to her, and laced his fingers with her as a reassuring gesture. He didn't want to seem too overly touchy, but he hated to see her cry. He knew what happened in that house was horrible, but crying only seemed to make it worse sometimes.

"I'll keep an eye on him, trust me..." Ian said quietly, almost too quiet for her to even hear him. He wasn't going to let any boy fuck around with his sister. She deserved the best and if she didn't find it with this boy, then he just wouldn't make it... He wasn't quite as protective as his father because he didn't look like he was going to try and kill Chad, but he would be observing, now doubt. "It's not my dog... It's everyone's dog..." he said quietly, feeling the guilt rip through him. He'd taunted Becky as soon as Hannibal brought it out. He'd told her he'd gotten his birthday wish and bet that she hadn't. How cruel was that? Ian climbed in the very back and watched the road through the windshield but was still aware of the two who sat in front of him.

"It'll be ok." Hannibal said as he kissed her hand lovingly. He didn't know if he trusted Chad yet either, but he wasn't pulling anything too bold which was fine with Hannibal. He'd kill the kid if he tried anything... That was no joke either. He looked back at Chad occasionally, watching him in silence. He looked thin and very weary of his surroundings. The boy looked a lot like he did when he first came in contact with Lesley... He was so glad that Becky hadn't brought up anything about what he'd started to say when they were upstairs. He'd started to confess, but didn't have the guts to do it. He didn't want to admit his dirty little secret that got them all, aside from Chad, involved in this situation. He didn't know what Chad’s story was but he was curious.

[Zoey]

Becky whimpered a bit looking down at her feet. She should not be crying. Not in sadness any ways. She was safe hopefully and she was surrounded by people who loved her. She looked at him as he laved his fingers with her. Heart soaring, she smiled at him squeezing his hand. He obiously did not want to see her cry Thanks. she whispered leaning over kissing his cheek lightly then looked down embaassed. Her father aws watching..oops. She grinned at him challengingly then leaned back int he seat watching as her brother nad mtoher joined them in the van. She was still holding his hand as if it was a life perserver. She frowned seeing the uncertain look on her mothers face. she looked at her father in the mirror then sighed as they started to drive. It was going to be a long drive home.
Nicky got in and smiled nodding at her son. He was going to protect his sister. It was Ian's dog she had decided. She would get her daughter something she wanetd. Nicky smiled at Hannibal I know. She whispered kissing his lips gently before she leaned back looking out the window watching as the mansion started to fade off. She sighed. What a bad night. She wihsed it had never happened. Everyone knew what had happened to Becky but noe dared bring it up. That bastard. She jerked her ehad looking in the mirror as she kissed his hceek gritting her teeth but smiled. Maybe she really was just being supersticious. Ya that was it. Resting she leaned back closing her eyes draping a hand over her face groaning. Why was this happening?

[Hannibal Casry]

Chad's face flushed a very light tone of pink as her lips touched his tender, bruised skin. He couldn't believe it. This wasn't even fair, those sick bastards. He wasn't gonna do it, he couldn't. It's not the right thing to do, so why is he doing it? Because he wants to live? How selfish can he be? He can't do this to Becky, its horrible and sick minded, what if... What if they kill him anyway? What the fuck was this for? Being all gentle and acting timid... just to lure her away? That’s not right, just horrid and terrible. He was almost 17 years old and he was already one of them... Why? Because he wanted to live. He was doing this because he valued his own life ore then anyone else's. How sick can one person be? No worse then this, and he would be willing to bet money. He held onto her hand still, the color not fading after she had kissed him. He saw Hannibal's eyes narrow in the mirror and he dropped his own eyes to the floor, guilt seeping deeper and deeper into his thin, bruised body.

Hannibal met her kiss and smiled very faintly. He knew she knew, but he still couldn't help but bring out that optimism he had within him. It was all that got him through sometimes. Then he watched the two of them and narrowed his eyes as they kissed. His daughter looked up at him, and challenged him were her perfect little grin. He almost regretting saying that she could date. He didn't know if he liked Chad just yet. He certainly wasn't up to Hannibal's standards after what he tried to pull earlier, and luring his daughter to even just kiss his cheek was pushing his limits quite a bit.

Ian could ring the kid's neck, right now. He was sitting right behind Chad and he could guarantee that he was stronger then the skinny little bastard. Ian wasn't sure if he trusted the kid quite yet, but Becky looked as though she'd curl up next to him if they weren't in the car right now, with their father watching the two of them. She looked like a love starved puppy that would take the first hero that came to her rescue... which happened to be Chad. He sunk back in his seat a little bit, watching the two of them closely. He loved his sister and usually he respected her opinion in things, but not with this thing... This was a far shot from him accepting her thoughts..

They got to the house in no time at all it seemed and Hannibal pulled the key out of the ignition as he turned the car off. He unlocked the doors and wandered into the house without saying a word to any of them. His disposition was calm and he looked perfectly fine, but he felt as if he was going to puke. None the less, he did. He walked into the closest bathroom and knelt on the ground... You know the rest.
