Page 39 of Dragon’s Dream

We have all been at the hospital for a few hours now waiting to hear anything about Ruby and the baby. I don’t know how I did not know anything about Terror and this woman before now. I guess that just goes to show how little I’ve paid attention to other people’s lives lately. Peyton hasn’t talked to me since the incident at the hospital and Parker, well she calls, but doesn’t mention anything to do with the brothers. I guess I am feeling like a shitty friend because I did not know what has gone on with this family since I found out I was pregnant with Jaxon and shut myself away from them on a deeper level. I let my own fears consume me and pushed away people that I know loved me. Peyton and my friendship has suffered since everything that happened with Dragon and that is because I just didn’t want to cause a wedge with her brother. But sitting her with her family and not being able to talk to her the way I feel like she needs me to is heartbreaking.

Doc comes out of the back and it looks like he has changed his scrubs. Terror shoots up out of his seat and walks over to Doc.

“Brother, what’s going on? Is Ivy okay? The baby?”

Doc gives him a sad smile, “Let’s go to this conference room over here so we can talk.”

I watch as Terror looks back at Noah, Nash and Natalie giving Noah a head nod before he follows Doc down the hallway. I know that nothing that is being said in that conference room is going to be a good thing and my heart breaks for this family. They have been through so much lately and I don’t know a lot of Terror’s story, but I know enough. I know that he was saddled with a woman he didn’t want for years only to have her abandon him and his children for years after their daughter was born. I know that he waited patiently to have a real relationship with Ruby because he didn’t want to bring her into something before he had officially cut ties with the bitch he was married to. It is all tragic.

It doesn’t take long before you hear a sound from that room that is so heartbreaking and terrifying. The next thing you hear is what sounds like things being thrown against the wall and I watch as Twister, Rage, Fist, Stoney and Texas get up and run down the hall to the conference room. Looking around the women have gotten quiet and I see Peyton with her head down in her hands sitting next to Fang and Whip who are both trying to comfort her from this unknown situation. I still don’t understand how some bitch got into the compound and up to the president’s house to shoot the woman that was living with him. Why in the hell would she shoot a pregnant lady to begin with. I pull out my phone and I think it is important I send a couple of messages not knowing if anyone is keeping them informed.

Me: Hey Park, so I don’t know if you are aware of what is going on at home. But we are at the hospital because Ruby was shot. We don’t know what is going on yet, but they took your brother down the hall to talk to him and something bad has happened. I don’t know if you can get time off to come back here or if you can just be with everyone virtually, but I thought you should know. Love you and hope to hear from you soon. If you need anything please call me.

Then I pull up the next thread. With everything that has happened today and the fact that I have struggled while Dragon was away, I know I need him and want him. So I know that we need to have a more indepth conversation about our relationship whenever he gets back.

Me: Hey, don’t know how up to date you are about everything, but Doc just came out and gave Terror some bad news. Don’t know what is going on, but we heard him getting upset. Just wanted to let you know. I hope if you need anything you will let me know. I don’t know how much longer I can keep the boys at the hospital today, so I might head back home in the next couple of hours, but I want to be here for your family.

Before I could wait for responses Walker came up to me and told me he had to go to the bathroom. I asked Waylon if he needed to as well and he told me no.

“I can sit with Waylon and Jaxon. I promise we will keep a good eye on both of them and if Jaxon gets fussy we will use the milk you’ve got in the diaper bag.” Isabella said from a couple seats over.

“Thank you so much.”

So I grab Walker’s hand and walk us to the bathroom. Taking him into the women’s bathroom is not his favorite since my big boy thinks that he can go to the potty by himself, but with everything going on I told him we are sticking close together right now. So I take him to the large stall at the end of row. While we are in there we hear the door open and some footsteps to another stall. The stall door closes and then another immediately after another door closes. What I find to be hair raising is that everything is quiet. It is weird to me how quiet someone is, especially if they came into the bathroom with a friend.

“Alright, baby, are you all done?”

I ask Walker as he moves to zip up his pants.

“Yeah, mama. I’m all done.”

“Alright, let's get out of here and wash our hands.”

We walk out of the stall and towards the sinks and as soon as we are up to the sinks washing our hands the stall doors open and two large men walk out of the stall. They look Italian, they are both in suits.

“Ah, you are just as beautiful as we were told. We’ve been looking everywhere for you, puttana. It is so very nice we’ve found you. Our cousin will be so thrilled to see you again and oh what is this, a little mafia heir. Looks like we are bringing in two packages instead of one. How wonderful is that, Elias. Looks like we found something more exciting than our little brother. I think you are going to be coming with us, puttana. You and your bastardo are coming with us.”

“Like hell we are.”

I pick up Walker and start to quickly walk to the door only to open it and find another man standing and waiting for me. He looks at me and smirks. That smirk and those eyes have been a part of my nightmares for years. He is one of the men that raped me with Vandal.

“Ah, la mia fica preferita e il bel ragazzo nato dalla nostra notte speciale insieme. Verrai a casa con me. Ho bisogno di una nuova padrona.”

I have no idea what he is saying, I do not speak Italian. My breathing has picked up and I feel like I am having a panic attack. How did they find me? Were they looking for me? Did they know about both of my boys? He looks at me again and sees the confusion on my face.

“I said,” He steps closer to me and grabs Walker from me who starts crying and reaching for me. “my favorite pussy and the result of our special time together. You are coming with me, both you and our son.”

I try to fight the other two men that have come up to the side of me and grab me. Walker is still crying and starting to scream. The man looks down at Walker in my arms and whispers to him, he immediately stops, but he has tears in his eyes and looks absolutely terrified.

“What did you say to him? He is not your son. Get your hands off of me and let go of him! I’m going to kill you. His daddy is going to kill you!” I struggle against the men.

The next thing I know I feel a poke in my neck and my vision starts to go dark. My fight starts to slow down and then everything goes black.

Words start coming through the fog, but I try to not make any movement or noise and just listen.

“Mi stai dicendo che sei andato a letto con questa donna mentre Vandal era in carcere?”

“Sì, padre. He and I shared her on many occasions.”
