Chapter 3: Welcome To The Family

You awake to the sound of a plate being smashed. You realize you're tied to a chair. When you open your eyes you see the same man who knocked you out and what seemed to be his family. You look over to your left and see your dad tied up as well. You look over as the lady screams "Lucas!". Just then the older guy takes, who you presume to be Lucas, his hand and cuts half his arm off. He screams and you guess this has happened before from his words. You don't understand what's happening. You get more nervous as the man tells his wife to move and gets closer to you and your dad. He gives you a dirty look and moves to your dad. He tries to feed him the disgusting food but your dad spits it up and throws up a little bit. The lady, who you now know as Marguerite starts screaming and freaking out because your dad didn't eat her food. The couple gets into a fight and Marguerite storms out. Just as Jack is about to start cutting out your dad's tongue the doorbell rings. "God damn it. I bet it's those fucking cops again" Lucas says. You hear Jack mutter "Goddamn pigs!". When they walk away you look over to your dad who is rocking back and forth to get out of the chair. Once he falls and the chair breaks he unties you and gets you out. He checks you over for injuries and asks "are you okay?". You stutter a bit and say "I..I think so". "I don't know what's happening but I'm going to get us out of here, we're going to find your mom and get out of here. I just need you to be strong, can you do that for me?" he asks you. You nod your head and he sighs and tells you to stay close. He cautiously and stealthily explores some of the house with you behind him. You notice some things like the grandma who was sitting at the table and the door that leads under the house. You walk down the hall and see a key that most likely goes to the hatch. You pick it up and your dad leads you back the way it was. When you get back near the dining room you were originally at you hear Jack and realize he's found out you and your dad had escaped. Suddenly he busts the door open and spots you both, your dad goes one way and you go the other. You slip away to the hatch and open it, now all your dad has to do is race over here and jump in. The hatch leads you to what you assume is the laundry room. When you get there you take a well needed breather as you wait for your dad. While you wait you start thinking about your mom, a memory plays in your head of one of your favorite moments with her. When you were six you got ice skates for Christmas. That day your parents had taken you out for your first ice skating lesson. But you soon realized it wasn't as easy as people made it seem and you fell straight on your face. You gave up after that and when you got home you slammed your winter gear on to the ground and stomped up to your room. Your mom had come up after a little while and talked with you about it. She helped you communicate your feelings and comforted you. She eventually convinced you to give it another go. The next day, she took you out and skated with you. She held your hand while you skated for over an hour. With no warning she let go but you were so focused you didn't realize. She smiled as she watched you skate around the whole rink by yourself. And when you saw her in front of you instead of by your side you broke out in a smile. You lost focus and balance so you fell but you didn't care, you had done it and she had been with you through it all. She skated over to you and later took you out for dinner of your choice to celebrate. That night before bed she expressed how incredibly proud of you she was. Your mom was your best friend, you relied on her, you needed her. When you stopped thinking about the memory you decided that no matter what horrors this house of hell held, you would find and bring back your mom. You were snapped out of your thoughts by your dad coming through the floor. "Oh y/n, thank God! You're okay" he said to you once he laid his eyes on you. You smiled, happy to see him. Your dad looted the room for any supplies he could find. Just as you were about to the leave, the phone rang. That's when you realized his hand was stapled on and there was a watch on his wrist. Through all of the commotion and fear you didn't realize it until now. He picked it up and it was the same person from before. You stood by the door until he finished. When he finished the call, you both walked out to find no one there. You walked around a bit until you heard some banging. As you got closer you saw a police officer with a flashlight. Finally! You were saved! Well at least that's what you thought. Your dad tried to convince him to give him his gun. But the police officer gave him a pocket knife instead. "Come on! I've got a kid to protect!" your dad said trying to plead with him. "Here. Take it! That's all you're gonna get. Now go. Garage. Now." he said back and went around to get into the garage. Your dad cut open the box that opened the garage door. You were so close to getting out, you knew if you could just get out the police could find your mom and you could all go home. The police officer came up to you both as soon as you got in the garage. He talked to your dad trying to get any information out of him. Just then the door started closing and you got fearful. The officer got irritated and said "Hey. Put that door back up. Put that door back up!". Your dad asked him what he was doing but then you noticed Jack and he came behind the officer and shoved a shovel into the officers head and cut it in half as your dad screamed wait and you tried to hold back your puke. Your dad raced to the work bench that had the car key on it as Jack mangled up the officers body. Your dad hurriedly ushered you in the car. "Y/n, get down!" he said to you and you went to the floor protecting yourself. Your dad drove around recklessly trying to kill Jack. You thought it was over when it got quiet but you thought differently when suddenly Jack ripped off the roof of the car and took ahold of the wheel. The car crashed and you hit the edge of the car really hard. When you looked up you saw that your dad was still alive. But you couldn't say the same for Jack. "Y/n? Can you get out of there?" your dad asked you. You tried to slip past Jack's body and your dad helped you out. He carried you to the other side of the garage. You touched your head as it was pounding and when you took your hand away you saw some blood. "Dad?" you questioned. He looked at your wound and figured it wasn't too deep. "It's okay bud, I know it hurts but you'll be okay" he says. The car then caught on fire and Jack got out. You thought he was dead but something weird was happening here. Your dad shot at him until the car exploded and he lied on the ground, presumably dead. You took a sigh of relief and climbed up the ladder that was there. You turned back but when your dad went to follow after you Jack got back up again. He took your dad's gun, put it in his mouth and said "do I have your attention, boy? You are about to see something wonderful" and then pulled the trigger. Your dad screamed a cuss word as you covered your ears. Your dad caught his breath and then climbed up the ladder. Your dad squeezed your shoulder as he walked past you. You just stared down at Jacks dead, bleeding, burnt body. You were traumatized and in shock. Your little brain couldn't wrap its head around what had transpired here. Your dad found the missing piece to get in those big double doors. He moved the shelf and hopped down. "Y/n!" he called and you snapped out of it. You walked over and you jumped down, he caught you so you wouldn't hurt your feet. "Let's keep going bud, you're doing a great job so far" he said to you, trying to give you any kind of encouragement. You looked at him, unsure about what journey lied ahead of you. You weren't so sure you'd make it out of here alive.
