Well, why do you....*laughs* attempt to beat me up when all I did was come to see my poor,worthless daughter.he cackled.

(ooo...he's a witch now..cakle cakle)

Chase looked down. he didn't want to say the wrong thing. "i don't know.... sorry" he mumbled.

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

Held pushed the gun deeper into Maria's ribs, and she cried out in pain.No I insist, tell me the truth..she said cruely.

[shybootsrox]

Chase's head shot up when he heard her yelp. it took all of his will power not go punching him. "Because, i thought you were her boyfriend and i get jealous easily" he said making a quick and easy lie that sounded real.

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

But the man could see right past the lie.Chase....Marria started, and it resulted in another throw into her face, and the gun push harder.Really?Me being so old?He moved the gun harder and harder, and Maria felt her lunghs screaming for air, but it hurt to breathe.No, I insist on you telling me the REAL truth..

[shybootsrox]

Chase gave up. "I knew you were her father, and she told me about when she was little, i have a short tempermant and totally lost it, i didn't want you to hurt her, that is the truth and i'm sorry" he said head hung in defeat. Morgan quietly watched from a high tree. "Was Chase just defeated?" she asked herself seeing her olderbrother's head hung in shame. Seh wasn't sure if she should interfere or not so she remained up there unseen, and unheard, watching in horror as her brother was being threatened and he wouldn't stand up for himself.

The man spun Maria to look at him.You told?You filthy little ignorant peice of no good garbage!I knew you would be hopeless, worthless....He put the gun away, and Maria sighed in relief, until he pulled out a knife.All I need is a bit of your blood and I'll be able to finish that expiriment Im working on...yes you remember it don't you?He took the knife and cut a slit across her hand, catching the blood that spilled out.Then he turned to Chase.Want her?You can have her...she's duller than any thing you'll ever meet...don't know why you like her...he saw Maria's eyes look at him in sadness....Ohhh....you don't "like" her....ha....knew you were smarter than that.He threw Maria to the ground and walked away, to his car, and drove away quickly.

Chase helped Maria up. "Maria-i'm sorry, sorry i'm weak" he said looking away again. Morgan's mouth gaped.

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

Maria shook her head.No your not, you did the right thing.One move and my dad would of shot you or me...she said, biting her lip in pain as she examined her hand.The cut was almost to the bone, and dit had gotten in it, irritating it.

[shybootsrox]

Chase ripped off part of his shirt wrapping it around. Morgan was still in the tree and grabbed her first aid kit, throwing it down on the ground hopping on a different tree limb out of sight. Chase doctored her up.

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

Maria pulled her hand away.Look at me Chase.You did everything right...stop beating yourself up.She wouldn't give her hand back until he admitted that.

[shybootsrox]

Chase didn't look up. "let me see your hand" he said reaching for it.

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

She pulled her hand back farther, biting her lip as the pain turned to numbness.Admit it..anyway, my hand is numb, I can't feel anything.

[shybootsrox]

Chase finally just grabbed her hand and put some peroxide on it and wrapped it up. He kept his head lowered so she couldn't see his face

[~xJustALineInASongx~]

Ow!Maria gasped as the peroxide hit her hand.She pulled away again while he was wrapping it.Look at me and ADMIT IT.she demanded.
