The Truth Revealed-Step One

[SKYLAR ALEX DUNHAM]

Skylar’s task took only about twenty minutes before they returned back to the warehouse. Skylar stood by the doors for a few moments, listening to Avery and Natalie. The girl was ballsy to speak up against Avery like that. Skylar’s eyes scanned the empty yard. Everyone was probably at the church, police station or town hall. The precious pastor’s daughter was missing. Little Miss Angel. Yeah, right. Everyone had a dark side. All it took was pushing the right buttons to get that part of them out. Such as Avery and Skylar. Different people in this town had done that to the two of them. Now it was time to make them pay for all they had done.

Finally deciding it was time, Skylar went in. their footsteps were silent as the girl tried to convince Avery that everything coming out of their lips were a lie. Skylar chuckled as they stepped into the area. After adjusting the voice masker, Skylar nodded. ”Yes. We should hurry. They’re sending out search teams and one’s headed this way.” Not like the townspeople would be able to reach their precious girl. Skylar grabbed the duct tape so as they cute Natalie out of the chair, the two could tape her ankles together, then her wrists. Once she was good and bound, a piece of tape was placed over her pretty little mouth. Skylar grabbed Natalie’s feet while Avery grabbed the head and the two headed out. Skylar was already prepared for the trek to the docks with the Eclipse. After all, some of the things they needed were also in the trunk.

With the girl in the backseat, the two got into the car and sped off to the docks. Skylar had picked perfect boat-The Bella. It meant beautiful. They were going to burn the most beautiful relationship in the town with the pastor and the daughter along with the most beautiful girl. Or, well, maybe the most. Throwing the car into park and shutting it off, the two masked figures got out and grabbed Natalie once again. The boat was already running as the two went down to the galley. There was no need to tie Natalie up as there was no way she could get out. Skylar turned towards Avery as they walked up the stairs back to the deck. ”Everything’s set up. Just press the button. I’ll meet you at the place.” When Avery left, Skylar went to the helm in order to steer the boat away from the dock. Once The Bella was a good hundred yards away, Skylar heard the effect of what they had set up. With a smirk, Skylar pulled the boat out to where there was a decent current, Skylar discarded their clothes as they had prepared with a wet suit underneath. After, the clothes were doused in kerosene and a match dropped on them.

The pretty little angel’s life could burn.

[AVERY NEVAEH DAVIS]

Skylar was going to be getting everything ready for their large show tonight. Not only did they bring a new meaning to the phrase ‘painting the town red’. But they were going to have the night go out with a bang.

Standing there above the girl as she tried to say that Avery was lying was; amusing in a way. Apparently this girl didn’t know what her father was really like. The sick bastard had beaten that poor man to death and then destroyed his boat in a fire. They said that the man was a lunatic yet look what they had done to him. Their eyes stayed on the girl below them as she worked something in her mouth. When the spit came at them they growled and backhanded the girl across the face. “Don’t you do that again!” Avery was losing their temper fast with this girl.

As the girl sat there protesting what she had been told a deep dark laugh escaped Avery. “You really do think your father is mister innocent don’t you? Well too bad! You need to learn the truth for yourself then. You know if you ask your daddy then he’ll just tell you that I was lying to you so I would get you to go against him. If you still don’t believe me then I advise you to seek out Jude Winslet. He knows everything that happened because his father told him.” A smirk formed under Avery’s mask as they looked at the girl knowing they were going to crush her poor innocent life in. This was all part of revenge though.

When Skylar came back in and helped duck tape the girl up Avery couldn’t help but put a blindfold on the girl too. Once they were sure that she was properly bound, gagged and blinded Avery leaned in and placed a kiss on Natalie’s lips through the duck tape. When they loaded her into the back of the Eclipse and got a move on it Avery couldn’t help but feel pride in their partner. “You’ve done me proud Skylar.”

Finally they arrived at the docks and the car was placed in park sitting there feeling the vibrations under them Avery got out and then pulled the seat forward. With Skylar’s help they pulled the girl out of the back and put her on the Bella. It was ironic that something that meant beautiful would end up beautiful tonight. When Natalie was situated Avery pulled the blindfold off and looked at the girl. “Goodbye Natalie.” Avery turned to Skylar and took the remote. “I’ll see you there Skylar, good luck.”After giving Skylar a hug, Avery went back to the Eclipse knowing there was a car waiting for Skylar to get into. Once the boat was departed Avery made for the cliff over the sea. Waiting for the boat to be far away Avery pressed the button. It took only a second but a loud explosion blasted through the night sending the docks up in a raging ball of fire that lit up the night’s sky. Putting the car into reverse Avery headed off to the meeting place.

Goodnight little angel.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, background-color:#f4f4f4; width:400px; padding:8px; border: 8px solid #9b6464;] she‘s had all she can take SOMETHING’S GOTTA MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE. I DON‘T KNOW WHERE IT IS BUT SOMETHING‘S GOTTA GIVE When Avery’s hand went across Natalie’s face, tears stung her eyes out of pure shock. Not that it was hard since the liquid was already brimming under the surface. Her mouth formed a circle of shock as her breathing became slightly heavy. In the meager self defense class her school taught, they always said to do what they could to buy time. If fighting back seemed like a good idea, then fight back. If not, then to refrain. Yeah, great advice right? Not that Natalie was one for spotting when she should and shouldn’t fight back. It’s not like she had a lot of experience in tough situations. She led a very quiet life. With a shake of her head, Natalie looked off to the side, her focus going in and out as they ignored her begging to just let her go. ”I don’t have to ask Jude. I know the truth.” Natalie knew Jude Winslet a bit. His family went to the church and her father was friends with his dad. Well, as friendly as one could be with the town pastor. Often things were tense around one another probably because of his job. She hated those moments but right now Natalie would rather be thrown into an awkward situation then here. Her eyes drifted closed while she tried to steady her breathing. A lot of good that did. All of a sudden her feet were cut form the chair. Natalie began to kick, trying to make contact with anything she could all to no avail. Each one grabbed a leg and clasped them together and retaped them. The same with her feet though she was sure she ripped someone’s sweatshirt. All while this was happening she was screaming as loud as she could. But, it was the last day of the Founder’s Fair. No one was anywhere but near the town square. And with all the writing she was sure no one would come here for a long time. With the blindfold on, she couldn’t tell anything. Her tears began to soak the fabric as her mouth struggled against the duct tap. When someone pressed a kiss to her taped lips-who she wasn’t sure-she began to thrash around. Even once she was picked up, Natalie continued to wiggle around until back in the backseat of the car. Ok, she didn’t start then. It’s not like she could yell so the only think she could do was try to kick and fight back. They didn’t go too far so that must mean they were still by the Harbor area. Yes, she was sure of it because she could hear the water. This time of night the waves could distinctly be heard from just about anywhere. ”Oh God, they’re going to drown me…” As she laid there, and was then carried between them again, all she could do was say a prayer against the tape. The words were indistinguishable and she felt the skin being torn from her lips as she did so. Still, the only one here for Natalie right now was God. What she didn’t expect was to be loaded onto a boat before they decided to drown her. As her body hit the floor of the galley she groaned in pain. She was sure that they just wanted to get someplace where she couldn’t get away quickly. When the blindfold came off, she looked upwards, where their faces should be but only masks were. As soon as they were done talking to her, Natalie flipped around from her back to her stomach as she inched away. The two descended the stairs while she was left there, sobbing her heart out. When she felt the boat start to move away, she rolled onto her side. Her hands were duct taped in front of her so she could bend them up and rip the duct tape off. It took some maneuvering but it was good she did. Not long after Natalie heard a splash in the ocean, she breathed in the smoke. No, she wasn’t going to drown. She was going to burn to death. Natalie coughed as she crawled away from the stairs, trying to keep low. There was a port hole near the opposite end. She used her bound feet to kick at it, lodging it open. With that Natalie began to yell for help into the empty night. With each yell, the smoke began to fill up more of the boat, causing her to hack while she yelled. Natalie buried her mouth against her arm, trying to keep the lightheaded feeling from taking over quickly. She was on the edges of passing out when she saw a figure coming down the stairs. Everything was too fuzzy between her drowsiness and the effects of the smoke. Strong arms-the arms of a man-scooped her arm and rushed her above deck. Before she could feel the heat but now it was over whelming. The figure tore off her sweater and the remaining shoe she had, tossing them aside. With that they threw Natalie in first. She tried to yell but her throat was so hoarse, it came out more as a gurgle causing her to inhale water. About that time is when she passed out. The next thing Natalie remembers is a woman over her yelling for help. That was after she had pulled away from Natalie’s face and water came out of Natalie’s lips. That was it. Natalie tried to cry but she was too exhausted. She couldn’t muster any energy to do more then close her eyes and groan lightly. She just wanted to go home. tagged !

[peyton]

The chaos surrounding Peyton was overwhelming after observing what had been vandalized in their "perfect" little town. She saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, but had no time to greet them as she had begun to head back to her car. While the safe thing to do was to most likely go home and remove herself from the situation, she felt an inescapable sensation that urged her to investigate the crime that had gone down tonight. Was there anything else that had been vandalized? Or had something even worse occurred?

Peyton's thoughts were addressed as a phone call from her father came through on her cell. "Dad?" She answered as she approached her car, opening the door to sit inside. "Peyton! Where are you?!" Her father demanded, worry clearly present in his voice. "I'm by the fair...someone has vandalized some of the buildings down town." She responded. As frightened as she was, she appeared calm on the surface, keeping her voice leveled in attempts to reassure her father that she was okay. "Natalie Owens has been kidnapped!" He exclaimed on the other end. "What?!" Peyton cried, no longer able to hide her anxiety. "Come home Peyton. Let the police find her..." Her father demanded cautiously, knowing his daughter's impulsive nature all too well. "I have to go. Dad, don't worry about me. I'll be careful." She spoke swiftly and bluntly before her father could protest and in another moment, she had hung up on him and was speeding off in her car.

Peyton drove past the church — figuring that the church would have been the last place Natalie would have been seen. Already, quite a large crowd had gathered around the holy building. They had clearly heard the news of Natalie's capture and the fact that they were all still at the church, signified to Peyton that Natalie had yet to be found.

Peyton drove laps around the town of Hope Harbor, desperately searching for signs of Natalie. A part of Peyton felt obligated to find Natalie and get her to safety. The two had grown up together and because Natalie was a few years younger than Peyton, Natalie had become a little sister figure over the years. Peyton had always looked out for Natalie while growing up, protecting Natalie whenever someone took advantage of her innocence or teased her for being "a goody two shoes". However, since Peyton lost her mother, she had taken a step back from the people she held dear, almost as if she were afraid of losing them too. Now that that fear could quite potentially become a reality that night, the guilt begun to sink in and Peyton found that she not only wanted to find Natalie, but she needed to find her – not just for Natalie's sake, but for her own as well.

The desperate drive around Hope Harbor didn't seem hopefully at all — instead, the drive felt endless as Peyton's heartbeat intensified. Peyton felt as though she was running out of time. Just as she was about to give up her sporadic drive and head back to the church, something bright caught her eye in the distance. Flames. She realised that as she drove closer towards what she had seen, that something was burning in the harbor, almost as if the water itself was on fire.

Immediately, warning bells went off in Peyton's head as it dawned upon her that a boat was on fire. Peyton cursed under her breath, as she pulled her car up as close as she could to the harbor on the main road. "Natalie!" She exclaimed frantically as she ran onto the dock. "NATALIE!!!" No answer. There was a long pause as Peyton's eyes attempted to see through the darkness, the only light source illuminated within the flames that ate through the boat that had been turned into firewood. A gasp left Peyton's lips as a lifeless figure caught her eyes as they fell upon the shore. Without another moment of hesitation, Peyton found herself jolting from the dock and onto the sand.

Peyton knelt beside the figure with frantic movements, clearly identifying the figure as Natalie. Hope rose within Peyton. However, that hope was matched with distress as she prayed to God that she was still alive. Instinctively, Peyton checked Natalie's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief as she was able to confirm that Natalie was still alive. Next, she turned Natalie over so she was lying on her back. Both concern and relief were etched in Peyton's features as Natalie coughed up some water. "It's okay, Nat. It's Peyton, you're safe now." She spoke soothingly to her friend as she rested Natalie's head on her knees, before summoning the police and an ambulance on her cell phone.
