Daddy's Girl - Episode 31

 

**** Fiona tried to move when she felt strong arms around her.. She opened her eyes slightly and could see her mother, Amanda in a long white flowing gown standing at the door smiling at her.

She closed her eyes and opened them again but Amanda was no longer in sight. Where could she have disappeared to? Fiona wondered.

She winced slightly as she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head... "Mummy!!"

She whispered and coughed.. . "Fiona? Oh my God!! Fi, it's really you.. Oh God... Thank you Lord!!" Arnold exclaimed admist tears.... "Mummy!"

She called out again, frantically darting her eyes to and fro.

"What's wrong honey? Are you okay?"

He asked pulling away and staring into her pale face worriedly.

"I saw mummy"

She pointed to the door where Amanda stood a minute ago.. "What? But.." He trailed off when the doctor stepped forward.. "Sir please step aside"

"No, I won't"

He protested not wanting to leave her side.

"Sir please"

the doctor bent over and checked her heartbeat with his stethoscope.. It was beating..

. Strange.

Well duh! Of course it was beating perfectly fine, seeing as she was alive and even talking.

He could have sworn on his life that just a few minutes ago it wasn't beating at all.

He shook his head in bewilderment and placed the mask back over her nose, injected her with a sedative and watched as she fell into a deep sleep.. She needed that sleep more than anything because her head was surely going to ache once she woke up.

"I can't believe this.."

He muttered to himself as he walked out leaving Arnold who sat at the edge of the bed planting numerous kisses on her head while his large hand engulfed her tiny, delicate ones, tears of joy rolling freely on his cheeks.

He didn't bother to stop them.

He couldn't.

He just didn't give a f*ck.

All that mattered was, Fiona was here.

His girl was here. Alive and well.

"Thank you God. Thank you. For bringing her back to me.. I'm never letting you out of my sight Fiona..never"

Alex stood still with his jaw practically dropping to the floor as he stared at the sleeping Fiona in utmost bewilderment.. If he never believed in God and in miracles, then today he had become a full believer.

AN HOUR LATER. Helena sat up in bed wincing in pain as she adjusted the sling on her arm.. Where's Arnold? She thought out loud... She had been awake for hours yet he hadn't come to see her.

What was happening? Sometimes, he was extra nice with her and other times it seemed like he didn't really care... She sighed... Oh how she missed him.

Suddenly her phone rang cutting through her thoughts.

"Hello dad"

she pressed the phone to her ear.

"Where are you Helena? You didn't come home yesterday.. What's going on?"

She could feel the desperation in his voice... "I'm fine dad.. My battery died and something came up so I had to stay and take care of a friend"

she lied.

"I know you very well Helena and there's one thing you never learn how to do.. And that's telling lies... I will be waiting for a better, convincing explanation here at home.."

He replied and hung up.. Helena groaned.

"How do I tell him I was kidnapped?"

She wondered and sighed when someone barged into the room.

"Helena get up!! Now!!" The female voice screamed upon entering the room.

"Sally? You? What happened? Why is your face swollen?"

She questioned, her eyes wide as she noticed the blister on her friend's face.

"No time for questions.. Get up we need to leave now.. He's coming!! I saw him!!"

"Who?"

She asked getting more confused.

"Me baby!! Missed me?"

A sly male voice Helena recognised so.well answered.

They turned sharply to see a man in a police uniform standing behind them, smirking... He removed the fake moustache over his lips and shoved it into his pocket

"Smart girl.. Guess you're the only one who recognized me.. I like that.."

He paused and turned to Helena whose face had gone pale "and to you my dear. Did you honestly think I would forget how you fooled me making me think you were over Arnold?.. That was the worst trick you could have pulled on me.

And hats off to you, I must give you that because for a tiny weeny little moment there, I was convinced you were truly over the bastard Arnold and wanted me instead but no. Like all the other b*tches in the past, you had to join the long list of girls who liked Arnold.

But not to worry love because you're surely gonna pay. Just like they all paid. Dearly.. I swear" he sneered and walked to the hospital bed where she sat and grabbed her good arm.. "Let her go you moron!!"

Sally yelled and grabbed a flower vase to hit him when he turned sharply and knocked her to the floor with his fists... She was added out immediately as her head collided with the hard hospital floor.

Turning his attention back to his victim, he gagged her mouth and dragged her to the window where he began pulling out the Louvre blades.. He was going to escape with her through the window.. He would make her his.

But not before teaching her some lesson. Bad girls deserved to be punished.

And Helena had been a very bad bad girl.

Mark chuckled at his thoughts.

When he was done,he brought out a pocket knife to cut the net when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck. More like a sharp sting.

"Rule number one, never ever get distracted on mission"

Arnold's smooth voice echoed from behind and Mark turned sharply noticing the syringe in Arnold's hand.

His eyes grew wide.

"What did you inject me with?"

He questioned.

Arnold only chuckled, dropping the syringe.

"Patience Mark. Patience is the key. You'll find out soon enough."

Mark growled, his hand moving behind to pull out the gun tucked behind his shirt. Arnold rolled his eyes, unfazed by the sight of the gun.

He knew Mark would pull a stupid stunt like that.

He'd preoared himself, from the moment Fiona and Helena had been brought to the hospital That's how much of a coward Mark was.

Using guns instead of fists. And striking when no one was aware. Backstabber.

"I've always wondered how I'd like to plan your death Arnold, and I finally found it.

Read " The Emerald Chase " by the same author ( eliza )

. How about you die the Romeo and Juliet way? Ever read about Shakespeare's popular Romeo and Juliet. I'm sure you know how they died. Both lovers dying.."

Keep talking Mark. Keep talking. Arnold thought.

The more he spoke, the more he was buying him time.

That medicine he'd injected Mark with was going to make him go numb.

He wouldn't be able to move either his arms or legs.

The medicine was surely going to take less than five more seconds to take effect. Oh well.

Three more seconds.

Two seconds now. And the stupid Mark was still holding at gunpoint.

Arnold wasn't going to hand him over to the police this time.

He was going to take matters into his own hands.

"...you f*cking..."

Mark trailed off as the gun slipped from his hand, his legs feeling jelly suddenly as he slid to the floor.

"What did you do to me? What did you inject me with?!!"

Mark was shouting like a deranged animal Now.

He'd always been deranged anyway. Arnold smirked. Now the real fun was just beginning. And oh, he was going to make sure to f*ck him up real good.
