“They’re just videos of you” when she grabs the files looking in them, I try to snatch Lucy’s from her, but she turns, ripping it open when Lucy’s photo falls out. She picks it up looking at it. Her fingers brushed the photo gently.
“She is alive” she gasps, her tears dropping on the page before she looks in the box before looking at the file. She starts grabbing disks comparing the writing to the front of Lucy’s file and I try to grab them, but she shoves me away before grabbing one that matches.
I try to take it from her, but she snatches it back.
“I want to see her; I want to see her put it on,” she says trying to figure out how to put the disk in.
“Reika?” I call her, but she ignores me, trying to figure out how to open the DVD player. It works and I scramble to grab it out before she pushes the buttons. I eject the disk.
“No, Reika,” I tell her.
“Put it on Ryker, why are you being like this?” she screams pushing the disk back in. She starts pressing the buttons when I unplug it. She screams annoyed before turning on me.
“Reika.”
“Turn it on! Turn it on!”
“I won’t do that,” I tell her.
“Why? Please! Please, I need to see her! I just want to see her!”
“You can’t see her Reika,” I tell her looking at the disk she was putting in.
“Where is my daughter?” she asks, making me look at her.
“You have these, what did you do to her?” she screams.
“I did nothing, she wasn’t there Reika. We searched every inch of the place”
“Let me see the video, she was there”
“She isn’t there, I promise just sit down, please”
“She is there,” she says pointing to the photo on the desk.
“W hy won’t you let me see her! ” she screams, ripping at her hair and scratching her face. I grab her trying to restrain her, but she is extremely strong while riled up.
“She is dead,” I tell her as she breaks free of my grip. “No, my wolf, she promised she was alive, she smelt her, they had her clothes,” she says.
I shake my head picking up the file and pointing to her death certificate. “She is dead, Reika. She died just before they let you out,” I tell her pointing to the page. She looks at it and shakes her head.
“I can’t read this, you know I can’t read, you’re lying,” she says tossing the paper before turning back to the DVD player. She plugs it in, and I grip my hair trying to find a way out of it. I mindlink Tyson.
“I need your help,” I tell him.
“What’s going on?” he asks.
“It’s Reika, I need your help” I yell to him.
“On my way” I cut the mindlink to see she had figured out the DVD player and was pressing the buttons. The screen flickered on and I turned it off, grabbing her wrists and pulling her away.
“She is gone, I’m sorry. But you can’t watch them”
“She is not gone!” she yells trying to make me let go. When I don’t she bites my arm and I rip her closer.
“You can’t watch them, please listen, you don’t want to watch her die,” I tell her. And she freezes looking at the screen.
“That video is of her dying; you don’t want to remember her that way”
“She is alive, 46 promised, she promised!” she says thrashing in my arms.
“Reika, I won’t lie to you.”
“Then turn it on, I want to see, I need to see, to know for myself,” she says, and I shake my head.
“Reika, you shouldn’t watch” “Please” she cries.
“You don’t want to see it,” I tell her, but she thrashes, throwing me off. She turns it on, and I rush at her but she tackles me, knocking the air out of me before landing on top of me. I grab her holding her down when we hear a little girl’s voice, and she freezes looking at the TV over her shoulder. I try to get up, but she shoves me down.
“Lucy, it’s time” we hear a man say. I turn to look at the TV recognizing the voice.
“And then I can see my mummy?” Lucy asks and I see photos of her mother on the walls, all photos of her mother in her cell.
“I promise after this one you can see her,” The man tells her. It was the same man that was in the cells, the one I nearly killed.
“Okay, what do I have to do?”
” I just need to give you a shot,” he says, grabbing her arm.
“Then I get to see her,” The man nods, stabbing the syringe in her arm.
“No, no,” Reika says, looking at the screen.
“Don’t watch,” I tell her trying to shove her off just as we hear the first bone break, and her daughter’s agonized scream.
Reika covers her ears, her daughter begging the man as her bones all start snapping simultaneously. I got up covering her eyes, but she was rocking back and forth her hands covering her ears when we heard a sickening snap, which I knew was her spine. Reika screams as her daughter just stops, no noise, just her staring up at the ceiling with broken bones and her spine jutting out her chest. Reika’s breathing becomes harsh and in big pants before she jumps to her feet.
She grabs a chair smashing the TV, a scream leaving her that made my blood turn to ice in my veins. My stomach drops and she loses it, she starts trashing my office and even upturns my desk before attacking me.
