Chapter 12

The Next Night

Sara's View

"Mandy! What are you doing!? Don't untie her! Just pick her up and lets go!" I yelled watching Mandy take Courtney out of the back of the truck. She was beginning to untie her hands for some odd reason.

"It's easier if she's untied!" Mandy yelled back.

"Just shut up and get her inside," I hissed at her. She glared at me and picked Courtney up and walked into the cabin. Leighanne brought the babies in already and I was locking up the truck.

Right now we're in the Rocky Mountains hiding out in a cabin. We were in a secluded place so no one would find us. Trees were surrounding us all around and a dirt road led down to the main road below. All I can say is that it's gonna be pretty hard to find us and that's exactly what I want. I want Brian and Tiffany to suffer for as long as they can, they ruined my life along with Leighanne and Mandy's and I'm ready for revenge. I will do anything to ruin their happy lives. They don't deserve a happy life.

"Sara! That Courtney girl is waking up!" Leighanne called out to me from the cabin door. I locked the truck door quickly and rushed into the cabin. Courtney was moving around on the ground whimpering.

"What should we do?" Leighanne asked looking at the wiggling figure.

"Knock her out," I said.

"Knock her out?" Leighanne asked me confused. I rolled my eyes and said, "Hit her over the head or something, I don't want to hear her crying 24/7."

"I'm not going to hit her, I'm not that cruel," Leighanne said.

"DO IT!" I yelled. She shook her head, "I'm not going to hit a child."

"Then I'll do it!" Mandy said stepping forward. Leighanne grabbed her hand and pulled her back, "No! Don't do it! I don't want to kill her!"

"It won't kill her, it'll make her shut up and besides I have a feeling we killed those two little brats back in Florida."

"I didn't hurt any of them! You guys did! If I could have I would have stopped you from throwing that poor boy out that window, that was just cruel!"

"He deserved it!" Mandy exclaimed. I just sat there glaring at Leighanne, my rage filling. She was beginning to go against us.

"No child deserves that treatment Mandah! You have no heart at all!" Leighanne exclaimed.

"What are you doing!? Turning against us!?" I burst out. Leighanne swung around to face me, her eyes flashing.

"I'm beginning to! I didn't want to kidnap these kids in the first place but no, I had to go along with it because I was in this before! I totally regret ever doing this! This is completely wrong! I'm not willing to do this if I'm going to go back to jail and hurt innocent children in the process!" she yelled, her face was turning red from anger and her jaw was clenched tightly.

"These aren't innocent children! They are the children of the two people that have ruined our lives!" I yelled pointing at the whimpering child on the floor. The babies were in one of the rooms crying.

"Brian nor Tiffany ruined our lives and those children had no idea what happened except for Michelle and Christian, you can't take it out on these small children Sara!"

"Well, we got Michelle and Christian out of the way now didn't we?" I said coldly.

"You have no heart," Leighanne said through clenched teeth.

"Oh I don't huh? If I don't then neither do you! You are forgetting that you helped out a whole lot with this whole thing, without you we would have had so much trouble trying to kidnap these 3 little brats," I said trembling with rage.

"I regret it! I wish I could have prevented it! I don't want anything to do with this! This is just stupid! There is no point in this!"

"What are you saying? You're quitting?" Mandy glared at her.

"I can't quit can I!? If I do you'll kill me! I got myself into this and I'm stupid for doing that! This is wrong and I want to stop all this right now!"

I shook my head and smiled coldly, "That's not going to happen. I'm gonna make Tiffany and Brian suffer for ruining our lives."

"They didn't ruin our lives! We ruined them!" she exclaimed, she was turning hysterical.

"You are betraying us," I said angrily.

"I started to betray you long before this! I hate both of you and for what you doing you should both rot in hell! So should I! I'm part of this and I wish that I wasn't, all this is wrong! You shouldn't do this to children! Look at her!" Leighanne screamed pointing at the sobbing child on the floor. Her legs were tied up, her arms were tied behind her back and her wrists were slightly bleeding from the ropes and she was gagged.

"Look at her! That isn't right! That's a 6 year old child Sara! She doesn't deserve this! She didn't do anything to you!" she screamed. She was so angry tears were stinging her eyes. I looked at Courtney and felt my anger slightly fade, she looked so helpless. She didn't really do anything to me...

"You should rot in hell! Both of you should!" Leighanne screamed. My anger returned and I snapped my head up at her. I picked up the gun from the table next to me and pointed it at her. She stopped and looked at me startled.

"Don't say one more damn word," I said through clenched teeth. "You are in this and you are going to help us no matter what. If you screw up I swear I will blow your fucking head off, is that clear?"

Leighanne looked at me in horror and after a moment she nodded.

"Good," I said lowering the gun.

"Knock her out," I growled and then pushed past them to one of the rooms.

Leighanne's View

I stood there shaking with fear and rage. Sara can't do this, she can't ruin these people's lives for her own satisfaction.

"You heard her! Knock her out Leigh!" Mandy said. I looked up at her and then turned my attention to Courtney.

"If you want her to be knocked out then you do it," I said quietly. Mandy didn't move, she just looked at me. I ignored her stare and bent down in from of Courtney. I reached my hand out and pushed her blonde hair out of her face, she flinched and pulled her head back.

"Don't be afraid," I said softly. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I looked in her eyes and found that she was completely terrified. I frowned and stood back up. Mandy was still staring at me.

"Are you going to do it or not?" she asked. I looked at her and then pushed passed her going to the kitchen and sitting down. I put my head in my hands and sighed deeply. How did I get myself into this? I felt differently before all this I admit, I actually had fun hurting Tiffany when we kidnapped her but this...this is just horrible. I guess you could say I have kind of changed, I admit that I'm mean but I'm not a monster. Doing this to children is just wrong.

I then heard a hard smack, a loud cry and then silence. Mandy did it...she hit that poor child.

I shook my head and my heart sank. Tears stung my eyes and threatened to over flow. I buried my head in my hands and just cried. I needed to do something, anything, to help them. I couldn't let Sara or Mandy get away with this. If it meant risking my life then so be it, I'm not going to ruin Brian or Tiffany's lives over this. If something happened to their kids I'm positive that neither of them would be the same and I didn't want that. No matter what, I was going to end this...all of it.
