Machiavellian
Chapter Twelve:
a few months later:
"I've got a few new leads, Alan," Luke talked on his cell phone, "I know this is your daughter but ya gotta let me be and find them, all right? I gotta go," Luke hung up.
"Yeah, thanks," Alan hung up the phone in the Q den.
"Anything?" Rae jumped up from her seat and folded her arms, "anything at all?".
"He said he had a few leads, but it's -- "
"It's what?"
" -- it's been so long," Alan finished his statement
"Don't say that!" Rae hit his chest slightly with her fists, "Don't you say that," she cried and they embraced.
-------------------------
"Stop it, please," Skye sobbed, huddled down in a corner.
"You will have this child, Antoinette, and I will be his father," Stavros stood above her, "and I will be your husband."
"You're crazy"
"The only thing crazy is you trying to escape."
"'Escape,' do you hear yourself. What kind of life is this were you have to try to stop me from escaping?"
"It's our life. It's yours, it's mine. It's our child's -- "
"If I have anything to say about this child, you will never get near it. Do you hear me?"
"Do I hear you? Yes, that is what your voice is saying but I know better, you love me, you always have," Stavros neared her, "this child is my heir and will always be under my influence, you have no say about that my wife."
"You come any closer, I swear I'll scream," Skye got up and inched her way away from Stavros.
"What good will it do?" Stavros grinned, "I have to give you this you never loose your will to fight," he grabbed Skye forcing her into a kiss as pulled away and she screamed.
-------------------------
"Did you hear something?" Stefan asked.
"You're paranoid, now are you gonna help me or not?"
"I heard someone scream, Spencer."
"I knew it," Luke dropped his equipment in defeat. "I knew this was a bad idea, why'd you hafta follow me out here anyway? I told you I'd mail your brother to you. But no, no that wasn't good enough."
"You are right, that wasn't good enough. I saw what that -- my brother did to Laura and I'm not about to let that happen again."
"Okay then," Luke picked his equipment up from the ground, "lets get back to work."
-------------------------
"My dear, Antoinette, you are the vision of loveliness," Stavros knelt down and stroked her hair with his hand.
"Get off me," Skye grabbed his wrist, lip quivering.
"I'll come later," Stavros kissed her forehead, rose and exited
Skye's face placid, she sat in the corner. For some reason that corner, when she sat there huddled against the wall with her eyes closed, made her feel as though she were anywhere else but wherever she was, she didn't even know where she was.
A thud caught her ear, interrupting her thoughts about Adam, Stefan, Junior, Colby, Pine Valley, even Haley, Alan, and Rae. She opened her eyes to see a man standing before her, whom she had never seen. Paralyzed in fear she remained seated, her eyes analyzing him.
"I'm all right," Luke shouted, "thanks for the concern," he turned around, "I found her, I think."
Another thud
"Are you all right?" Luke neared her but kept his distance after she cringed.
"Skye," Stefan asked hurrying over to her, "are you okay?" he hugged her as she pulled away.
"Don't touch me"
"What?" Stefan didn't understand.
"I think she means to not touch her, Vlad," Luke said sarcastically.
"I'm just trying to help you," Stefan reasoned.
"He'll return, it's not safe here. You have leave," Skye avoided eye contact.
"Yes, and you're comin' with us," Luke took her arm as she pulled away and got up off the floor on her feet by herself.
"I can't," Skye's voice shook.
"What did he do to you?" Stefan asked obtaining no response, "What the hell did he do to you?"
"Don't," Skye's voice pled, "please," she looked Luke in the eyes.
"Leave her alone," Luke saw the sadness in her eyes, as though a piece of her had been ripped put, "if she doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't want to talk about it."
Stefan saw it too and gave in agreeing to ask no more questions for the time being.
"Take her home, I have to take care of some business," Luke sat in the vanity chair waiting for Stavros while Stefan helped Skye through the hole both he and Luke fell from.
