He watches as his daughter waddles along the beach. A toddler enjoying the sand under her. Close enough that the gray waves fizzle along the shore near her feet.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjQPtUcqxq
"She'll get cold" His wife says
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAimpirmWT1
"I don't think so" He says
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRMs3qcBye
"And how can you be so sure?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7nk4xd8ZO
"If she gets wet we'll bring her home and take her shoes off"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntC8AqeSRr
"She'll cry"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpN0l6uHD
"Children cry"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGq4p78pF3
"And so we should let her get soaked?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLNc1zcJN
"Look how happy she is now though. Just enjoy the moment"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7oUvtRn96
He wraps an arm around her as they both watch

27 years later
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1n5CR6UQZ
He sits in his armchair. Fingers scratching into the arms.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3pjEEXOtn
"So you understand what I'm saying" Father Hanover says. Leaning forward in the chair facing opposite him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUCbbvN96I
The man looks beyond his shoulder at the two men behind him. They stand idly. Large physical men. Enforcers interrupting the discussion with their presence.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEnC7nhJOC
"You aim to slaughter her" He says leaning forward. The disdain for the priest bubbling over as the spittle spills over his drunken lip.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXyL1vfYcl
"I aim to free her Franklin. This isn't her anymore. It hasn't been for years"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezG89CCssC
"You don't know that"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawvkRVlQuA
"When was the last time you saw her sleep. Heavens, saw her eat anything"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJXa8GWJgY
"She's happy"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3uUpkeAEd
"It isn't her"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YDlaZtgX9
"It is!" Franklin raises his voice and sits up slightly. Seeing one of the men in the back step forward, clearly all too eager to make him comply with force he sits back down. Placing a hand to his chin and rubbing the stubble.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rsu9hByu
"You're not taking her from me"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qkFteDWpC
Father Hanover looks at him defeated.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXMrT2qY2F
"I'm sorry. I didn't want it to happen like this"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjOulKd9G
The priest looks to one of the men behind him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUkWlvnHDO
"Watch him"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yTxjd1bpu
He says before standing up out of his seat and walking past the man. The other enforcer following him towards the hallway.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFACze11Zn
"Where do you think you're going"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzf3FT3H4R
Franklin growls as he stands up out of his chair. The other enforcer strides towards him and pushes him back down into it with force.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhsXHpuYnp
"Stop" He says pointing at him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFENHm0tYGo
Franklin huffs as he sinks into his chair defeated.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VtobNGJoA
"What are you people doing. She's just a girl"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBOKWexBw
He says as he listens for the priest and other man to get far enough away.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQn9Ct0pG8
He places a hand over his mouth and starts loudly sobbing. No tears flow. He throws himself off of his chair and onto his hands and knees. Loudly coughing and spluttering.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJTMzuVElm
"Calm yourself sir"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrjskCrT1z
The enforcer says with a tone of annoyance as he approaches Franklin. Not noticing him reaching his hand under the draped fabric of the seat.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtuF9lv9o
As the man grabs his shoulder Franklin throws himself back. Firing twice into the mans chest with his double action revolver.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDo8bG9oTo
The man drops to the ground. Clutching his chest. Franklins ears ring slightly but he is able to hear a shout from the other room.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3WCjQZEH
"What was that!?" The priest shouts.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXE6PESYWw
Franklin gets up. Noticing the man he shot is still with his arms by his side. He quietly dashes over to the edge of the wall just beside the hallway.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchg2eyNK1C
He hears hurried footsteps coming. As he expects the second enforcer marches past him first. He points the revolver at the mans head and fires. Just as the priest also comes into view.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bmWPn5wrH
The man flops to the ground and the priest spins around to face Franklin with a look of fright.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zB0aNDdX
To his shock the priest reaches for his waistband. Franklin drops the revolver and dashes forward. Wrapping his arms around the priest and tackling him to the ground.
He gets ontop of the priest and the two men awkwardly wrestle on the floor.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6efV0Q99m
"This wont bring any of them back!" The priest yells. His voice muffled by Franklin pressing his hand into his face. The priest grips Franklins forearm as his other hand grips his revolver. Franklins other hand pinning that wrist to the floor and preventing him from pointing it at him. A tear drips from Franklins nose and onto the priests cheek.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxZHhxaku3
"Stop! Just stop!" Franklin grunts. Struggling to hold the man down. Not noticing the fathers hand quickly let go of his forearm and move out of his view.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XOWKStjS
He feels a sharp pain in his side. Looking over he sees the priest holding the wooden stake that juts out from his hip. Blood already darkening his white shirt.
The stabbing brings about a wave of adrenaline and he rips the revolver out of the priests hand. Bringing his arm back he smashes the gun across the priests face. Breaking his nose and knocking the man unconscious.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMS1JP6NIm
Franklin pants as he leans back. Still straddling the priests waist. He watches as blood trickles from his nose and onto the floor beneath his head.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOFqDjEA3
Franklin stands up. Wincing as he now feels the foreign object lodged in his side.
He grips the stake and attempts to pull it out. The sensation of doing so almost making him vomit. He gives up.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3UNEHKtOx
He shambles down the hallway. Bracing against the wall and leaving a bloody handprint.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TWpDBgIjG
He finally makes it to her room and opens the door. The furniture long since removed or broken to pieces. His daughter stands in the centre of the room adorned with her nicest dress. Chain wrapped around her neck and bolted to the wall behind her.
She holds her hands at her chest with tears in her eyes. His 29 year old daughter. 14 forever.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwQfBy0MMx
"I'm here sweetheart" He groans. Stumbling over to her.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf8MMnWwgh
"They were going to hurt me" She sniffles. Eyes wet with tears.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUzO7fXS17
"I know. Daddy didnt let them. He-
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3BkKBF3Ae
Franklin winces in pain
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2MrUZV6yR
"What did they do to you?" She asks in shock as she notices the stake sticking out of him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wvbylkyFZ
"Its okay honey. It just looks scary. Its fine" He walks closer.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6C7xBYCoc
"I'm scared" She cries out. Extending her arms out for a hug.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc6pKuWhH0
Franklin rushes forward. Pulling her into an embrace. "I'll never let them hurt you. You kno-
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBf2u2V6GF
Franklin lets out a yelp as his daughter imbeds her fangs into his neck. He feels the blood being siphoned out of him.
"Thats okay sweetpea. I'm not angry"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5W8Wfevq
He whispers. Feeling his body going weak.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sOHL7Xood
He falls backwards. His daughter following him down and continuing to drink his blood.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykae2nIuJa
Franklin wraps his arms around her. Reaching a hand to place upon the back of her head.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo3HH6Jwfg
"I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm so... I-
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfhXOjHuK
His body goes limp.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6XcJm8Uh
She hangs her head back in relief. A thirst denied for years finally quenched. Blood. Coating her mouth and dribbling down her neck. She rummages through her fathers pockets.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFafv71hVo
Finding the key she unlocks the clamp around her neck. Rubbing the freed spot of skin she lets out a short laugh.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bOfWGMRs
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQkERj7aO5
Brave men accompanied by the police entered that house shortly after the gunfire. Armed from firearms to clubs and blades. They found three dead men and one unconscious. But no girl.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa81fS3dzK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz7jCanWLU
She stands on the beach. Bathing in the moonlight. She watches as the tide comes in. Threatening to wet her feet before she jumps back with a giggle.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq05orAQZ7I
She looks up into the sky and then begins to dance.
She kicks up sand as she spins. Her dress flowing in the cold wind.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqP09YTXF
She drags her hand down her face. Collecting the semi coagulated blood on her hand before dipping two fingers into her mouth and sucking them clean.
