Leaving no time to scream, Alyssa jolted off into the opposite direction, running as fast as she could. She could hear the man chasing after her and she turned around to see how close he was. She turned her attention back to the path in front of her and failed to see the roots of the trees sticking out of the ground. Alyssa tripped over the large roots and stumbled to get back up, her heart racing. She felt the mans hands start to pick her small body up. She squirmed and tried to break out of his grips.

"Alyssa, sweetie," Mr. Cameron whispered into her ear. "You can run, but you can't hide."

"Come on Alyssa, Please pick up," Gavin said to himself while dialing Alyssa's number for the third time.

"Where are you?"

Chapter 17: Her whereabouts


It's been a little over a couple days and Gavin's concern for Alyssa grows larger. He sits down onto his bed and places his face in his hands angrily. He was sorry that he argued with Alyssa and he couldn't help but think that if he did not argue with her, then she'd be here with him right now.

Gavin was really worried and frustrated. He barely ate any of his meals and he barely slept. He looked like a mess but he did not care, all he wanted was Alyssa.

****

Alyssa woke up in an old house. She looked around and saw the house built with old wood that was withering away. It was dark and she could not see a thing, no matter how wide she opened her eyes. She listened to the room and it sounded like it was empty. She started to crawl on her hands and feet to try and get a visual of where she was and what was in there for her. The floor creaked under her every move and she cringed at every sound. Hearing something from behind her, Alyssa stopped dead in her tracks. She slowly sat on her but and turned around, trying not to make any noise.

"So you are awake," A voice all too familiar spoke.

"D-dad," Alyssa stuttered.

"If not me, than who else would it be," He stepped next to the window, the moonlight slightly hitting his face.

"Don't worry," He said. "I'm not going to force you to have sex with me again. At least not now, anyway."

"But I don't understand. Why are—"

"Because I want to," He moved closer to Alyssa and grabbed her by the arm.

Alyssa felt a warm tear slide down her cheek and her heart sped up. Something was going to happen to her in a few seconds but she did not know what to brace herself for. Was it going to be another beating? Was he going to rape her again? She felt something shove her back and she found herself lying onto the floor.

"Don't you see," He said crawling over her. "I enjoy it."

Mr. Cameron grabbed Alyssa's head in both of his hands. He picked it up and quickly slammed it against the ground. He listened to Alyssa cry in pain and laughed. He felt no remorse for his actions and couldn't care less if he went to jail after he's done with her. He wouldn't be surprised if the police rammed the door down any second. He didn't pick the best place to keep her, it was just an old abandoned house. It wasn't in the middle of no where, it was in the middle of everywhere. It is hard to miss.

Mr. Cameron gets up and smirks as he watches her hold her throbbing head in pain. He wasn't going to say anything because he did not want to ruin this glorious moment but he decided against it.

"Alyssa, did your mother tell you about your sister," He leans against the wall behind him. Alyssa shakes her head no.

"Her names Allison," He said smiling at the memory. "I didn't want her, just like I didn't want you. It was you are her. I made a random decisions so don't go and feel special."

"Is it just me," She mumbles sitting up.

"What," He asks.

"Do you beat her too," She asks a little louder, dragging her body to the opposite end of the room with her hands.

"No. But that's because I can't," He mumbled.

****

Gavin heard a knock on his bedroom door and woke up from his hazy sleep. He jumped out of bed and ran to the door hoping it was Alyssa. His heart sunk when he saw his mom standing on the other side. He stepped aside and let her in, watching her walk over to his bed. Mrs. Reed sat down onto Gavin's bed, placing her hands into her lap.

"Gavin, how are you," She asks worriedly.

"I'm fine," He sits next to her.

"And Alyssa," She asks.

"She's," Gavin paused thinking about what he should say."Okay."

"Look," Mrs. Reed started. "I know you guys are having trouble."

"We got into a little argument, that's all," He mumbled averting his gaze.

"You look a mess Gavin," She frowns.

"Gee, thanks," He mumbled.

"Has she been at school," Mrs. Reed asks.

"Yeah, we just haven't been talking," Gavin lied.

"But why,"

"It's complicated, mom."

Gavin looks away feeling his eyes water. He didn't like to lie to his mom and he didn't like the fact that he didn't know where Alyssa was. He had no control over anything, no say in anything and he didn't know what to do. Gavin felt his mom's soft hand on his and he forced himself to look at her. He felt a tear fall from his eye and he closed them. Mrs. Reed pressed his head into her shoulders and held him.

"You can't be strong all the time." She said.

"But everything will be okay."

Chapter 18: Looking for Alyssa



Early in the morning Gavin heads over to Alyssa's house. He knocks on the door and patiently waits for an answer. Thinking of Mr. Cameron, Gavin straightened up and braced himself for the worse. He saw Mrs. Cameron open the door and loosened up. Mrs. Cameron looks relieved and motions for Gavin to come inside.

"Gavin," She paces back and forth. "I'm worried."

"Is it about Alyssa," He asked sitting down on the couch.

"Yes, Have you seen her? I'm worried."

"No," Gavin puts his face in both of his hands. "I'm sorry."

"For what," Mrs. Cameron asks.

"I was supposed to protect her, I didn't," He mumbled.

"Oh honey," Mrs. Cameron said sitting next to him. "It is not your fault."

"We had an argument. I really shouldn't have, especially after what she had said," He stood up and started to walk around.

Gavin looked at Mrs. Cameron and frowned. Alyssa looked so much like her mother and it almost hurt him to look at her. He didn't know what to do. Was he supposed to call the cops? He knew Alyssa wouldn't like that but he had to do something. Did her father kidnap her? Is her father going to rape her again?

"What were you guys fighting about," Mrs. Cameron frowns and looks at Gavin with sad eyes.

"Um," He pauses and tries to carefully select his words.

Gavin did not want to tell Mrs. Cameron that Alyssa was raped by her father. What would she think? Would she blame him for the rape? After all, Gavin was supposed to protect her and she ended up getting raped. He knew he was the worst at protecting Alyssa. What was he supposed to do? How could he help bring her back? She's out there and there is no doubt that Alyssa is with her father.

"About her dad," He said. "He hurts her. A lot, more than you know."

"I know," Mrs. Cameron said after a long moment. "I don't know what to do Gavin."

"Me too," He looked at her and felt the need to comfort Mrs. Cameron. He started to walk towards her but stopped, knowing she wasn't finished.

"He has her Gavin," She stood up and walked over to him. "He hasn't been home in weeks and neither has Alyssa."

"Maybe," He paused. "Maybe we should call the police."

"No!" Mrs. Cameron exclaimed. "We can't!"

"But why," Gavin threw up his hands in disappointment. "What is wrong with that? When I suggested that idea to Alyssa she said the same. After what she told me, how could I not want to call them."

"Because we just can't," Mrs. Cameron said. "Wait."

"What," Gavin knitted his eyebrows together in confusion and waited for an answer.

"What did Alyssa tell you," She asked.

Gavin swore under his breath. That part about Alyssa slipped out. What was he supposed to tell Mrs. Cameron now? Gavin stared at her and tried to buy enough time to think. He could tell she was getting impatient and decided to just tell her the truth.

"He raped her," He looked down at his feet.

"What," Mrs. Cameron whispered. "Oh no. I didn't think he would ever do that again, not to her anyway."

Mrs. Cameron took a deep breath and sat back down. She could not believe her husband would do such a thing. She knew he was a monster, but raping his own daughter? Who does that? Mrs. Cameron shook her head and disbelief. She couldn't help but feel like this whole thing was her fault.

"What do you mean again?" Gavin asked suddenly.

"I—" She looked around searching for words. "He did that to me too."

"What!" Gavin exclaimed, he's eyes practically popping out of his head.

"Oh my gosh," She stood up and paced back and forth. "Gavin this is all my fault!"

"What? How? I don't—"

"I knew marrying him was a bad idea! I shouldn't have, I really shouldn't have!" She exclaimed. "I could have had Alyssa and Allison on my own. I would have been just fine. I didn't want to abort them but what if I had? None of this would have ever happened."

"What? No!" Gavin said frustratingly. "That would have been a terrible idea! I'm so ecstatic that you had both of them! It isn't your fault! It's that asshole of a father's fault!"

"What are we going to do," Mrs. Cameron asked, her voice slightly cracking.

"I don't know."

Gavin looked at her and remembered what happened with him and his mother. He walked over to Mrs. Cameron and wrapped his arms around her. He remembered crying on his mom's shoulder about this whole situation. Now it was his turn to be smart about everything. It was his turn to be strong. It was his turn to lend a shoulder to lean on.

"But it'll all be okay."

******

Mrs. Reed sat down at the diner table with a mug filled with tea in her hands. She stared off out of the kitchen window and contemplated her decisions. She wondered what was wrong with Gavin. Where was Alyssa? Why were they arguing? She wanted to help Gavin, she was worried.

"What am I going to do," She asked herself.

She heard a knock on the front door and she quickly turned her head to the direction where it came from. She hesitated for a moment and hoped it was Alyssa. If it was Alyssa then this madness could all disappear and everything could be back
