Taken By The Dark

I saw Rachel sink to the floor, /"You killed them, it was you./" She said quietly as tears finally made their way down her cheeks.

He gave her a sardonic smile, /"When I took you and Tobias in, it had nothing to do with me being your uncle, I had no compassion for Irene's little brats. I took you in because that way, Irene wouldn't win, ever. She wanted a new life for you two, away from me. She didn't succeed, you will never get away./"

Seconds ticked by and no one spoke.

His expression became bored, /"Take her away and put her in one of the cells./" He ordered as two men walked in quickly dragging Rachel's immobile form with them.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

I'd never hated any one as much as I hate this man in front of me.

I will never hate anyone more than I hate my father.
